Product details
Overview
LP2987IM-3.2/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a fixed-output, 200 mA ultra-low-dropout linear regulator with programmable power-on reset delay, designed for precision low-noise power supply in portable electronics. It delivers 3.2 V output at ±0.5% accuracy (A-grade), maintains 180 mV dropout at 200 mA load, and operates across −40°C to +125°C junction temperature for use in cellular phone baseband power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LP2987IM-3.2/NOPB datasheet, LP2987IM-3.2/NOPB pinout, LP2987IM-3.2/NOPB application, or LP2987IM-3.2/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its SOIC-8 package, 2 μA shutdown quiescent current, 5% output undervoltage error flag, and single-capacitor power-on reset timing - all critical for battery-powered system power sequencing and rail integrity monitoring.
Technical Context
The LP2987IM-3.2/NOPB uses a vertically integrated PNP (VIP) pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout and stable operation with minimal external components. Its internal 1.23 V bandgap reference feeds both output regulation and error comparator circuitry, supporting precise 3.2 V output set by factory-trimmed resistive divider.
Power-on reset functionality is implemented via an internal 2.2 µA current source charging an external capacitor on the DELAY pin, while the open-collector ERROR pin asserts low when output falls >5% below nominal - providing reliable system-level reset signaling without additional logic.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.2 V ±0.5% (A-grade) - ensures stable core voltage for 3.3 V–tolerant microcontrollers and analog ICs. |
| Max Continuous Output Current | 200 mA - sufficient for powering baseband processors, RF front-end bias, or sensor signal chains. |
| Dropout Voltage | 180 mV @ 200 mA - enables regulation from 3.38 V input, preserving battery runtime in single-cell Li-ion systems. |
| Quiescent Current | <2 µA in shutdown - minimizes standby leakage in always-on subsystems like real-time clocks or wake-up controllers. |
| Error Flag Threshold | −5% output deviation - triggers clean system reset before brownout-induced logic corruption occurs. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.1 V to 16 V - supports wide-input applications including automotive accessory rails and industrial 12 V supplies. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C junction - qualified for under-hood, industrial control, and portable device thermal environments. |
Pinout & Package
LP2987IM-3.2/NOPB is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D) surface-mount package with 1.27 mm pitch, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant, and rated for 160°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BYPASS | Reference bypass node | Connects to 0.01 µF capacitor to reduce output noise; not used on LP2987 (only LP2988 variant). |
| DELAY | Reset timer capacitor node | Sinks 2.2 µA to ground until output stabilizes, then charges external capacitor to generate programmable POR delay. |
| GROUND | Power return path | Low-impedance analog ground reference for regulator feedback and error comparator; separate from digital ground. |
| INPUT | Unregulated input supply | Accepts 2.1 V–16 V; includes reverse-voltage protection diode (anode at VOUT, cathode at VIN) requiring external Schottky clamp if VOUT > VIN. |
| SENSE | Output voltage feedback | High-impedance sense input for remote sensing; tied to OUTPUT if local regulation is sufficient. |
| OUTPUT | Regulated 3.2 V output | Delivers up to 200 mA with <100 µV RMS noise (LP2987); requires ≥4.7 µF output capacitor with appropriate ESR. |
| SHUTDOWN | Enable/disable control | Active-high logic input; drives high (>1.6 V) to enable, low (<0.18 V) to enter sub-2 µA sleep mode. |
| ERROR | Open-collector fault flag | Pulls low when output drops >5% below 3.2 V; requires external pull-up resistor for reset signal generation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable Power-On Reset Delay | Single external capacitor on DELAY pin sets reset timeout from milliseconds to seconds - eliminates need for discrete RC timers or dedicated reset ICs. |
| Ultra-Low Dropout | 180 mV @ 200 mA enables operation from near-dead batteries or tightly regulated intermediate rails without headroom loss. |
| High Accuracy Output | ±0.5% over temperature ensures consistent performance for ADC references, PLL VCOs, and precision analog circuits. |
| Low Ground Pin Current | 1 mA @ 200 mA load - improves efficiency vs. traditional LDOs and reduces PCB trace heating in high-current paths. |
| Integrated Protection | Thermal shutdown and current limiting prevent damage during overload, short-circuit, or ambient overheating conditions. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LP2987IM-3.3/NOPB | Fixed 3.3 V output; identical SOIC-8 package, pinout, and electrical specs except output voltage. | Used where system requires 3.3 V instead of 3.2 V - e.g., legacy FPGA I/O banks or standard logic families. | Select when target rail matches 3.3 V; no layout change needed, but verify downstream voltage tolerance margins. |
| TLV70733PDQNR | 300 mA output, 250 mV dropout @ 300 mA, 25 µA quiescent current, SOT-563 package (5-pin). | Higher current capability and smaller footprint, but lacks integrated POR delay and error flag functionality. | Choose for space-constrained designs needing higher current; add external reset IC if POR timing or fault signaling is required. |
Compared with LP2987IM-3.2/NOPB, the LP2987IM-3.3/NOPB offers identical functionality at 3.3 V with zero layout impact, while TLV70733PDQNR trades integrated reset features for higher current and smaller size - making it suitable only when external reset logic is acceptable.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LP2987IM-3.2/NOPB?
The LP2987IM-3.2/NOPB has an absolute maximum input voltage of +16 V and a recommended operating range of 2.1 V to +16 V. Exceeding 16 V risks permanent damage; operation below 2.1 V prevents regulation. The device includes internal protection against reverse input-output voltage, but an external Schottky diode is required if VOUT may exceed VIN.
Does LP2987IM-3.2/NOPB support remote sensing?
Yes, LP2987IM-3.2/NOPB supports remote sensing via the SENSE pin, which provides high-impedance feedback to the internal error amplifier. When used, SENSE connects directly to the load-side of the output trace to compensate for IR drop; if unused, it must be tied to OUTPUT. This feature maintains ±0.5% output accuracy even with 100 mΩ PCB trace resistance.
How is the power-on reset delay time calculated for LP2987IM-3.2/NOPB?
The power-on reset delay time for LP2987IM-3.2/NOPB is set by an external capacitor on the DELAY pin using the formula CDLY = TDELAY / (5.59 × 10⁵), where CDLY is in farads and TDELAY in seconds. For example, a 100 nF capacitor yields ~56 ms delay. Maximum recommended CDLY is 1 µF; aluminum electrolytics are prohibited due to leakage.
What is the purpose of the ERROR pin on LP2987IM-3.2/NOPB?
The ERROR pin on LP2987IM-3.2/NOPB is an open-collector output that pulls low when the regulated 3.2 V output drops more than 5% below nominal (i.e., below 3.04 V). It serves dual roles: as a system fault indicator and as a power-on reset signal when paired with a pull-up resistor - enabling reliable boot sequencing without external supervisors.
Is LP2987IM-3.2/NOPB pin-compatible with LP2988 variants?
No, LP2987IM-3.2/NOPB is not pin-compatible with LP2988 variants. While both share the same SOIC-8 pinout and terminal functions, the LP2988 includes a dedicated BYPASS pin for noise reduction (requiring 0.01 µF capacitor), whereas LP2987 omits this pin - leaving it unconnected. Using LP2988 in place of LP2987IM-3.2/NOPB risks undefined behavior if BYPASS is left floating or improperly terminated.
