Product details
Overview
LP2987IMX-3.0 from Texas Instruments is a fixed-output, 200 mA ultra-low-dropout linear voltage regulator with programmable power-on reset delay, 3.0 V output, ±0.5% initial accuracy (A-grade), 180 mV dropout at 200 mA, and SOIC-8 package - used in portable battery-powered systems requiring stable low-noise bias for RF or analog circuitry.
For engineers reviewing the LP2987IMX-3.0 datasheet, LP2987IMX-3.0 pinout, LP2987IMX-3.0 application, or LP2987IMX-3.0 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout performance at light-to-full load, integrated reset timing via external capacitor, shutdown quiescent current <2 µA, thermal behavior in SOIC-8, and compatibility with tantalum or ceramic output capacitors meeting ESR stability requirements.
Technical Context
The LP2987IMX-3.0 employs a vertically integrated PNP pass transistor architecture to achieve ultra-low dropout (180 mV @ 200 mA) and low ground pin current (1 mA @ 200 mA). Its error flag output provides both undervoltage detection (−5% threshold) and power-on reset functionality when paired with an external capacitor on the DELAY pin.
It features a dedicated SHUTDOWN input with defined turn-on/turn-off thresholds (VH = 1.6 V, VL = 0.18 V), supports input voltages from 2.1 V to 16 V, and operates across −40°C to +125°C junction temperature. Unlike the LP2988 variant, it lacks the BYPASS pin and associated noise-reduction capability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.0 V, ±0.5% tolerance at 25°C (A-grade), enabling precision biasing of 3.0 V logic or analog rails without trimming. |
| Max Output Current | 200 mA continuous, >250 mA peak - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, or RF front-ends in compact portable designs. |
| Dropout Voltage | 180 mV @ 200 mA load (typical); allows regulation from 3.18 V input, critical for single-cell Li-ion or multi-cell alkaline operation. |
| Quiescent Current | <2 µA in shutdown mode; reduces system standby power loss in always-on battery applications like IoT endpoints. |
| Power-On Reset Delay | Programmable via external capacitor on DELAY pin (CDLY = TDELAY / 5.59×10⁵); enables configurable system initialization timing without external timers. |
| Operating Temp Range | −40°C to +125°C junction temperature - qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood auxiliary supply roles. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.1 V to 16 V operating; accommodates wide-input sources including unregulated wall adapters or battery stacks. |
Pinout & Package
LP2987IMX-3.0 is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D) surface-mount package (Package Drawing D0008A), with θJ−A = 160°C/W. Pin functions are validated per TI SNVS004J Rev J.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (BYPASS) | No-connect (NC) on LP2987 | This pin is unused and must be left floating; not present on LP2987 (only LP2988 has functional BYPASS). |
| 2 (DELAY) | Reset delay timing node | Sinks 2.2 µA current to ground until output reaches regulation; external capacitor sets power-on reset timeout duration. |
| 3 (GROUND) | Power return path | Carries ground current up to 1 mA at full load; requires low-impedance PCB connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 4 (INPUT) | Unregulated input supply | Accepts 2.1–16 V; requires ≥2.2 µF input capacitor placed within 0.5″ for stability and transient suppression. |
| 5 (SENSE) | Output voltage feedback | High-impedance sense input; connects directly to regulated output or remote load point for improved line/load regulation. |
| 6 (OUTPUT) | Regulated 3.0 V output | Delivers up to 200 mA; requires ≥4.7 µF output capacitor with appropriate ESR (e.g., 1–10 Ω for 3 V output) for stability. |
| 7 (SHUTDOWN) | Active-low enable control | Pulls low ≤0.18 V to disable regulator; draws <1 µA when held high or low - compatible with GPIO or open-drain drivers. |
| 8 (ERROR) | Open-collector fault flag | Sinks current when output drops >5% below 3.0 V; requires external pull-up for reset signaling or system monitoring. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 180 mV @ 200 mA enables operation from marginal input sources (e.g., aging batteries) while maintaining regulation. |
| Single-capacitor power-on reset | Eliminates need for discrete RC timers or supervisor ICs - reduces BOM count and board space in cost-sensitive designs. |
| 0.5% output accuracy (A-grade) | Ensures reliable logic-level compatibility and ADC reference stability without post-production calibration. |
| Thermal & overcurrent protection | Internally limits die temperature and output current to prevent damage during fault conditions or layout thermal bottlenecks. |
| Low ground pin current | 1 mA @ 200 mA load improves efficiency vs. traditional LDOs; reduces I²R losses in high-current portable applications. |
Applications
| Cellular Phone Power Management | Palmtop/Laptop Subsystem Bias |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LP2987IMX-3.3/NOPB | Same SOIC-8 package, identical architecture, but fixed 3.3 V output; same 0.5% accuracy and 180 mV dropout. | Used where system requires 3.3 V logic compliance instead of 3.0 V; not interchangeable without schematic revision. | Select only if target rail voltage is 3.3 V - pinout and thermal behavior match exactly, but output voltage is incompatible. |
| TLC7733IPW | 3.3 V fixed output, no shutdown pin, no DELAY pin, higher 350 mV dropout @ 200 mA, SOT-23-5 package. | Lacks programmable reset and enable control; suited for simpler, lower-cost, space-constrained applications without sequencing needs. | Choose when board area is critical and reset/shutdown functionality is unnecessary; verify 350 mV dropout meets input margin requirements. |
Compared with LP2987IMX-3.0, the LP2987IMX-3.3/NOPB offers identical features at a different output voltage, while TLC7733IPW trades programmability and low dropout for smaller size and lower cost - making each suitable for distinct subsystem power roles.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for LP2987IMX-3.0?
The LP2987IMX-3.0 supports an operating input voltage range of 2.1 V to 16 V. Its absolute maximum survival rating is −0.3 V to +16 V, meaning it can withstand brief transients up to 16 V without damage. Exceeding 16 V risks permanent failure. This wide range allows use with unregulated wall adapters, multi-cell battery packs, or automotive-derived supplies with adequate filtering.
Does LP2987IMX-3.0 have a bypass pin for noise reduction?
No, the LP2987IMX-3.0 does not include a functional BYPASS pin. That feature is exclusive to the LP2988 variant (e.g., LP2988IMX-3.0), which uses an external capacitor on the BYPASS pin to reduce output noise to 20 µVRMS. The LP2987IMX-3.0 outputs 100 µVRMS noise (BW = 300 Hz–50 kHz) and relies on proper output capacitance selection and PCB layout for noise control.
How do I configure the power-on reset delay for LP2987IMX-3.0?
Connect a capacitor between the DELAY pin (Pin 2) and ground. The delay time TDELAY (seconds) is calculated as TDELAY = CDLY × 5.59×10⁵, where CDLY is in farads. For example, a 100 nF capacitor yields ~56 ms delay. Use low-leakage capacitors (tantalum, NP0/C0G ceramic, or film); aluminum electrolytics are prohibited due to excessive leakage.
What is the shutdown current consumption of LP2987IMX-3.0?
When the SHUTDOWN pin is held low (≤0.18 V), the LP2987IMX-3.0 enters sleep mode and draws less than 2 µA total supply current. This ultra-low quiescent state minimizes battery drain in standby or hibernation modes. The SHUTDOWN pin itself draws negligible current - <1 µA when pulled high or low - simplifying drive circuit design.
Can LP2987IMX-3.0 be used with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, but only with caution: standard ceramic capacitors often have ESR too low (<1 Ω) for stable operation. To ensure stability, add a 1 Ω resistor in series with the ceramic output capacitor. Alternatively, use a tantalum capacitor (4.7 µF minimum, 1–10 Ω ESR typical) - which is the preferred choice per TI's application guidance for the LP2987IMX-3.0.
