Product details
Overview
LP2987AIMM-5.0/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a fixed-output, 200 mA ultra-low-dropout linear voltage regulator with programmable power-on reset delay and 5.0 V output. It uses a vertically integrated PNP (VIP) process to achieve 180 mV dropout at 200 mA, <2 µA shutdown quiescent current, and ±0.5% output voltage accuracy (A-grade), targeting noise-sensitive portable power rails in cellular phones and camcorders.
For engineers reviewing the LP2987AIMM-5.0/NOPB datasheet, LP2987AIMM-5.0/NOPB pinout, LP2987AIMM-5.0/NOPB application, or LP2987AIMM-5.0/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout performance at full load, reset delay configurability via external capacitor, ground pin current vs. load, thermal limits for VSSOP-8, and compatibility with low-ESR tantalum or ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The LP2987AIMM-5.0/NOPB implements a precision bandgap reference and error amplifier driving a PNP pass transistor, enabling stable regulation down to 180 mV input–output differential. Its error flag (open-collector) asserts low when output drops >5% below nominal and doubles as a power-on reset signal when paired with an external capacitor on the DELAY pin.
Unlike the LP2988 variant, this part lacks a Bypass pin and associated low-noise enhancement circuitry-its output noise is 100 µVRMS (300 Hz–50 kHz). The VSSOP-8 package provides 200°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, requiring careful PCB copper area management above 100 mA continuous load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0 V ±0.5% (A-grade) at 25°C; ensures stable logic supply for microcontrollers and analog subsystems without external feedback. |
| Dropout Voltage | 180 mV @ 200 mA load (typical); enables operation from 5.18 V input while maintaining regulation-critical for single-cell Li-ion or multi-cell alkaline systems. |
| Quiescent Current | <2 µA in shutdown mode; extends battery life in always-on standby circuits such as real-time clocks or sensor wake-up monitors. |
| Power-On Reset Delay | Programmable via external capacitor on DELAY pin (CDLY = TDELAY / 5.59×10⁵); supports configurable system initialization timing without additional ICs. |
| Ground Pin Current | 1 mA @ 200 mA load (typical); low parasitic current minimizes total system power loss and improves efficiency in low-power embedded designs. |
| Operating Junction Temp | −40°C to +125°C; validated for automotive cabin modules, industrial handhelds, and outdoor-connected devices without derating. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.1 V to 16 V (operating); accommodates wide-input DC-DC pre-regulation stages or unregulated wall adapters with transient headroom. |
Pinout & Package
VSSOP-8 (DGK) package: 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm, 0.65 mm pitch, exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected), RoHS-compliant matte tin lead finish, MSL Level-1 (unlimited floor life).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - BYPASS | Not connected (NC) | This pin is unused on LP2987; differs from LP2988 which uses it for noise reduction-no external capacitor required. |
| 2 - DELAY | Reset delay timing node | Sinks 2.2 µA current to charge external capacitor; sets power-on reset timeout-enables deterministic firmware boot sequencing. |
| 3 - GROUND | Analog ground reference | Return path for internal bias and error amplifier; must connect to clean analog ground plane to avoid noise coupling into regulation loop. |
| 4 - INPUT | Unregulated input supply | Accepts 2.1–16 V; requires ≥2.2 µF input capacitor within 0.5″ to suppress high-frequency ripple and prevent instability. |
| 5 - SENSE | Output voltage feedback | Monitors regulated output directly; enables remote sensing to compensate for PCB trace IR drop in high-current applications. |
| 6 - OUTPUT | Regulated 5.0 V output | Delivers up to 200 mA; requires ≥4.7 µF output capacitor with ESR in stable region per TI Figure 44 to prevent oscillation. |
| 7 - SHUTDOWN | Enable/disable control | Active-high logic input; drives high (>1.6 V) to enable, low (<0.18 V) to enter sub-2 µA shutdown-supports host MCU power gating. |
| 8 - ERROR | Open-collector reset flag | Asserts low during undervoltage or startup; requires external pull-up resistor to define logic-high level and drive downstream reset inputs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 180 mV @ 200 mA enables use with marginal input sources (e.g., aging batteries or post-buck converter rails) without losing regulation. |
| Programmable reset delay | Single external capacitor on DELAY pin eliminates need for discrete RC timers or dedicated supervisor ICs in space-constrained designs. |
| 0.5% output accuracy (A-grade) | Tight tolerance ensures reliable operation of 5 V-tolerant I/O peripherals and ADC references without calibration overhead. |
| Thermal/overcurrent protection | Internally limits power dissipation and shuts down on fault-prevents damage during short-circuit or overload events without external circuitry. |
| Low ground pin current | 1 mA @ 200 mA load reduces total system current draw versus legacy LDOs, improving battery runtime in portable electronics. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LP2987IMX-5.0/NOPB | SOIC-8 package (larger footprint, 160°C/W θJ−A), same electrical specs and pinout. | Better thermal performance at high ambient temperatures; suited for through-hole prototyping or legacy board rework. | Select when board layout allows SOIC-8 and thermal design prioritizes lower junction rise over size. |
| LP2988AIMM-5.0/NOPB | Includes BYPASS pin and achieves 20 µVRMS output noise (vs. 100 µVRMS); otherwise identical pinout and regulation specs. | Required for ultra-low-noise analog signal chains (e.g., high-fidelity audio, precision ADCs) where 5× noise reduction is critical. | Choose only if noise specification mandates <30 µVRMS; otherwise LP2987AIMM-5.0/NOPB offers cost and footprint advantage. |
Compared with LP2987IMX-5.0/NOPB, the LP2987AIMM-5.0/NOPB saves 40% board area but requires more aggressive thermal copper; versus LP2988AIMM-5.0/NOPB, it trades 5× higher output noise for lower unit cost and simplified BOM-ideal for digital I/O and non-audio analog rails.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current for LP2987AIMM-5.0/NOPB?
The LP2987AIMM-5.0/NOPB is specified for continuous output current up to 200 mA under recommended thermal conditions. Peak output current exceeds 250 mA, but sustained operation above 200 mA requires careful thermal design due to the VSSOP-8 package's 200°C/W junction-to-ambient resistance-derating is necessary above 85°C ambient.
Does LP2987AIMM-5.0/NOPB require an external bypass capacitor?
No, LP2987AIMM-5.0/NOPB does not use the BYPASS pin-it is a no-connect (NC) terminal. Unlike the LP2988 variant, this device lacks the internal circuitry that benefits from a bypass capacitor; its output noise is 100 µVRMS, and stability relies solely on proper input/output capacitor selection per TI's ESR guidelines.
How is the power-on reset delay configured on LP2987AIMM-5.0/NOPB?
The power-on reset delay on LP2987AIMM-5.0/NOPB is set by connecting an external capacitor between the DELAY pin and ground. The delay time (TDELAY) follows CDLY = TDELAY / 5.59×10⁵, supporting delays from ~10 ms to 1 s. A 100 nF capacitor yields ~56 ms delay-ideal for synchronizing microcontroller boot with power rail stabilization.
What is the shutdown behavior of LP2987AIMM-5.0/NOPB?
LP2987AIMM-5.0/NOPB enters ultra-low-power shutdown when the SHUTDOWN pin voltage falls below 0.18 V (max), drawing less than 2 µA quiescent current. To enable regulation, the pin must be driven above 1.6 V (min). The input must slew at ≥40 mV/µs to avoid metastability-direct connection to a GPIO or pull-up to VIN is recommended.
Can LP2987AIMM-5.0/NOPB be used with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, LP2987AIMM-5.0/NOPB supports ceramic output capacitors, but a 1 Ω series resistor is required to ensure stability-ceramic ESR can fall below the minimum stable range (e.g., 15 mΩ for 2.2 µF), risking oscillation. Tantalum capacitors (≥4.7 µF, low-ESR grade) are preferred for guaranteed stability without added components.
