Product details
Overview
LP2987IMX-5.0 from Texas Instruments is a fixed-output, 200 mA ultra-low-dropout linear voltage regulator with programmable power-on reset delay, 5.0 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 supply and reliable power sequencing.
For engineers reviewing the LP2987IMX-5.0 datasheet, LP2987IMX-5.0 pinout, LP2987IMX-5.0 application, or LP2987IMX-5.0 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world design meaning for key specs, validated pin functions, confirmed alternatives, and supply-ready procurement guidance - all grounded in TI's official SNVS004J revision J documentation.
Technical Context
The LP2987IMX-5.0 uses a vertically integrated PNP pass transistor architecture to achieve ultra-low dropout (180 mV @ 200 mA) and low ground current (1 mA @ 200 mA). Its error flag output provides ±5% output voltage monitoring and doubles as a power-on reset signal when paired with an external capacitor on the DELAY pin.
It integrates shutdown control (active-low, 0.18 V threshold), bypass-capable noise reduction (though Bypass pin functionality is exclusive to LP2988 variants), and internal overtemperature/overcurrent protection. The SOIC-8 package has θJ−A = 160°C/W and supports operation from −40°C to +125°C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0 V, ±0.5% tolerance (A-grade) at 25°C - ensures precise biasing for 5 V logic, ADC references, and analog circuitry without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 200 mA continuous, >250 mA peak - supports moderate-power microcontrollers, sensors, and interface ICs in space-constrained portable designs. |
| Dropout Voltage | 180 mV @ 200 mA load (typical) - enables regulation from 5.18 V input, critical for single-cell Li-ion or multi-cell alkaline systems near end-of-life. |
| Quiescent Current | <2 μA in shutdown mode - preserves battery life in always-on standby or wake-on-event applications. |
| Power-On Reset Delay | Programmable via single external capacitor on DELAY pin - provides configurable system initialization timing without additional supervisor ICs. |
| Operating Input Range | 2.1 V to 16 V - accommodates wide-input industrial rails and legacy 12 V systems while maintaining regulation down to low VIN. |
| Thermal Protection | Integrated overtemperature shutdown - prevents thermal runaway during sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
LP2987IMX-5.0 is supplied in an 8-pin SOIC (D) surface-mount package (Package Drawing D0008A), with 1.27 mm pitch, 4.9 mm × 3.9 mm body, and exposed pad not present. Thermal resistance θJ−A = 160°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - BYPASS | Reference bypass node | Not functional on LP2987 (only LP2988); leave unconnected or tie to ground per TI recommendation. |
| 2 - DELAY | Reset delay timing input | Accepts external capacitor to set power-on reset timeout; 2.2 µA internal current source charges CDLY to 1.23 V threshold. |
| 3 - GROUND | Analog ground reference | Return path for regulator core, error comparator, and shutdown circuitry - must connect to clean analog ground plane. |
| 4 - INPUT | Main input supply rail | Accepts 2.1–16 V DC; requires ≥2.2 µF ceramic/tantalum input capacitor placed ≤0.5″ from pin. |
| 5 - SENSE | Output voltage sensing node | Internally connected to OUTPUT on LP2987IMX-5.0; use for remote sensing only if external trace resistance exceeds 50 mΩ. |
| 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. |
| 7 - SHUTDOWN | Active-low enable control | Pull ≤0.18 V to disable regulator (IQ < 2 µA); pull ≥1.4 V to enable; slew rate ≥40 mV/µs required. |
| 8 - ERROR | Open-collector fault/reset flag | Asserts low when VOUT drops >5% below 5.0 V; also serves as power-on reset signal after DELAY timeout. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 180 mV @ 200 mA enables operation from marginal input sources (e.g., 5.18 V min), extending usable battery range. |
| Programmable power-on reset | Single external capacitor on DELAY pin eliminates need for discrete supervisor ICs - reduces BOM count and board area. |
| 0.5% output accuracy (A-grade) | Meets tight tolerance requirements for precision analog front-ends, reference supplies, and 5 V MCU cores without calibration. |
| Low ground pin current | 1 mA @ 200 mA load minimizes wasted input power and improves efficiency vs. standard LDOs with higher IGND. |
| Integrated protection | Overtemperature and overcurrent shutdown prevent damage during fault conditions - no external circuitry needed. |
Applications
| Cellular Phone Power Management | Palmtop/Laptop Subsystem Supply |
|---|---|
|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LP2987IMM-5.0/NOPB | VSSOP-8 package (3.0 mm × 3.0 mm), θJ−A = 200°C/W, same electrical specs and pinout. | Better suited for high-density PCB layouts where SOIC footprint is prohibitive; thermal performance slightly reduced. | Select for space-constrained designs; verify thermal margin with 200°C/W θJ−A and expected ambient. |
| LP2988IMX-5.0/NOPB | Includes functional BYPASS pin (0.01 µF reduces output noise to 20 µVRMS>), otherwise identical pinout and regulation specs. | Required for ultra-low-noise applications (e.g., RF receivers, high-resolution ADCs); adds one passive component. | Choose when output noise <25 µVRMS is mandatory; BYPASS pin unused on LP2987IMX-5.0 renders it unsuitable for such cases. |
Compared with LP2987IMX-5.0, LP2987IMM-5.0 offers identical regulation in a smaller VSSOP package but with higher thermal resistance, while LP2988IMX-5.0 adds measurable noise reduction capability via the BYPASS pin - making it the only true functional upgrade for noise-sensitive signal chains.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LP2987IMX-5.0?
The LP2987IMX-5.0 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. For reliable long-term operation, maintain VIN ≤15.5 V with appropriate derating margin, especially at elevated temperatures.
Does LP2987IMX-5.0 support remote voltage sensing?
Yes - LP2987IMX-5.0 includes a dedicated SENSE pin (Pin 5) that can be routed to the load to compensate for IR drop in output traces. When used, SENSE must be connected directly to the load-side of the output capacitor; unused SENSE should be tied to OUTPUT per TI guidelines.
Can the ERROR pin of LP2987IMX-5.0 drive a microcontroller GPIO directly?
Yes - the ERROR pin is an open-collector NPN output rated for 300 µA sink current and 220 mV low-level voltage. It requires an external pull-up resistor (typically 10 kΩ to 5 V or 3.3 V) and is fully compatible with standard MCU GPIO inputs for reset or fault monitoring.
Is a bypass capacitor required on the BYPASS pin of LP2987IMX-5.0?
No - the BYPASS pin is not functional on LP2987IMX-5.0 (it is reserved for LP2988 variants only). TI documentation explicitly states it should be left unconnected or tied to ground. Adding a capacitor here provides no benefit and may risk unintended behavior.
What is the minimum output capacitance required for stable operation of LP2987IMX-5.0?
The minimum output capacitance is 4.7 µF, with specified ESR range dependent on load current and output voltage. For 5.0 V operation, TI's Figure 44 defines the stable ESR envelope - e.g., 0.15 Ω to 1.2 Ω at 200 mA. Tantalum capacitors are preferred; ceramic types require a 1 Ω series resistor to ensure stability.
