Product details
Overview
LP2988AIMM-3.3/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a micropower, ultra-low-dropout linear voltage regulator delivering fixed 3.3 V output at up to 200 mA continuous current, featuring programmable power-on reset delay via external capacitor, bypass pin for noise reduction, and <2 µA shutdown quiescent current. It serves as a precision low-noise supply for RF sections, analog sensor interfaces, and portable digital logic in battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the LP2988AIMM-3.3/NOPB datasheet, LP2988AIMM-3.3/NOPB pinout, LP2988AIMM-3.3/NOPB application, or LP2988AIMM-3.3/NOPB equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package mapping, noise performance data (20 µV RMS), dropout behavior (180 mV @ 200 mA), and validated alternative options for low-noise LDO replacement scenarios.
Technical Context
The LP2988AIMM-3.3/NOPB uses a vertically integrated PNP pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout (180 mV @ 200 mA) and stable operation with minimal external capacitance. Its error comparator monitors output voltage against a 1.23 V internal reference, asserting the open-collector ERROR pin when VOUT drops >5% below nominal.
Power-on reset timing is controlled by an internal 2.2 µA current source charging an external capacitor on the DELAY pin; the Bypass pin connects directly to the bandgap reference node, allowing a 0.01 µF low-leakage capacitor to reduce output noise spectral density by filtering reference noise-confirmed at 20 µV RMS (300 Hz–50 kHz) for 3.3 V output.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3 V ±0.5% (A-grade) - ensures stable core/logic rail tolerance across −40°C to +125°C junction temperature. |
| Dropout Voltage | 180 mV @ 200 mA load - enables regulation from 3.48 V input, critical for single-cell Li-ion or 3.6 V supply margin. |
| Output Noise | 20 µV RMS (300 Hz–50 kHz, CBYPASS = 0.01 µF) - supports noise-sensitive ADCs, RF synthesizers, and precision analog front-ends. |
| Quiescent Current | <2 µA in shutdown - extends battery life in always-on monitoring circuits with periodic wake-up. |
| Power-On Reset Delay | Programmable via external capacitor (CDELAY) - provides configurable system initialization timing without additional ICs. |
| Ground Pin Current | 1 mA @ 200 mA load - low parasitic current improves efficiency and reduces thermal load in compact layouts. |
| Operating Input Range | 2.1 V to 16 V - accommodates wide-input industrial and automotive auxiliary rails while maintaining regulation. |
Pinout & Package
VSSOP-8 (DGK) package: 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm, 0.65 mm pitch, exposed thermal pad, RoHS-compliant matte tin lead finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (BYPASS) | Bandgap reference bypass | Connects to low-leakage 0.01 µF capacitor to suppress reference noise; leakage <1 nA required to avoid output voltage shift. |
| 2 (DELAY) | Reset delay timing control | Sinks 2.2 µA to ground until VOUT stabilizes; external capacitor sets power-on reset timeout per CDLY = TDELAY/5.59×10⁵. |
| 3 (GROUND) | Analog ground return | Low-impedance path for reference, error amplifier, and pass transistor base current; must be routed separately from power ground. |
| 4 (INPUT) | Unregulated input supply | Accepts 2.1–16 V; requires ≥2.2 µF ceramic or tantalum input capacitor placed within 12.7 mm of pin. |
| 5 (SENSE) | Output voltage feedback | High-impedance sense node; connects directly to regulated output or remote point to compensate for PCB trace IR drop. |
| 6 (OUTPUT) | Regulated 3.3 V output | Delivers up to 200 mA; requires ≥4.7 µF output capacitor with ESR between 0.1 Ω and 10 Ω for stability. |
| 7 (SHUTDOWN) | Enable/disable control | Active-high logic: drives high (>1.4 V) to enable, low (<0.18 V) to enter sub-2 µA shutdown state. |
| 8 (ERROR) | Open-collector fault flag | Pulls low when VOUT falls >5% below 3.3 V or during power-up reset; requires external pull-up resistor (typically 10 kΩ). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bypass pin noise reduction | Reduces output RMS noise from 100 µV (LP2987) to 20 µV via 0.01 µF capacitor on bandgap reference node. |
| Single-capacitor power-on reset | Eliminates discrete RC timer; DELAY pin current source enables precise, repeatable reset timing without external biasing. |
| Ultra-low dropout architecture | 180 mV dropout at full 200 mA load enables operation from marginal input sources like aging batteries or post-dropper supplies. |
| Thermal and current protection | Internally limits peak output current to >250 mA and disables output under overtemperature or short-circuit conditions. |
| 0.5% output accuracy (A-grade) | Guaranteed initial tolerance at room temperature ensures reliable logic-level compatibility and ADC reference stability. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLS850B0ELVSA1 | 500 mA output, integrated watchdog timer, 300 mV dropout @ 500 mA, no bypass pin | Targets automotive body electronics with ASIL-B compliance; lacks low-noise optimization for precision analog | Select when higher current and functional safety features outweigh noise performance requirements |

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for LP2988AIMM-3.3/NOPB?
The LP2988AIMM-3.3/NOPB supports an operating input voltage range of 2.1 V to 16 V. Absolute maximum survival rating is −0.3 V to +16 V on the INPUT pin. Exceeding 16 V may damage the internal PNP pass transistor or bandgap reference circuitry. For automotive applications with load dump transients, external clamping is recommended.
How does the BYPASS pin reduce output noise in LP2988AIMM-3.3/NOPB?
The BYPASS pin connects directly to the bandgap reference node inside the LP2988AIMM-3.3/NOPB. Adding a 0.01 µF low-leakage capacitor (e.g., COG/NPO ceramic) filters reference noise, reducing total output RMS noise from 100 µV (LP2987) to 20 µV (300 Hz–50 kHz). Leakage must remain below 1 nA to prevent output voltage shift.
Can LP2988AIMM-3.3/NOPB be used without connecting the DELAY pin?
Yes. If power-on reset functionality is not required, the DELAY pin should be left unconnected or tied to GROUND. The LP2988AIMM-3.3/NOPB will operate normally with immediate output regulation and ERROR pin asserting only on undervoltage faults. No external components are needed for basic LDO operation.
What is the purpose of the SENSE pin on LP2988AIMM-3.3/NOPB?
The SENSE pin provides remote output voltage sensing for the LP2988AIMM-3.3/NOPB. When connected directly to the load instead of the OUTPUT pin, it compensates for voltage drop across PCB traces or connectors, maintaining 3.3 V accuracy at the point of load. If unused, SENSE must be tied directly to OUTPUT.
Does LP2988AIMM-3.3/NOPB include overtemperature protection?
Yes. The LP2988AIMM-3.3/NOPB incorporates internal overtemperature protection that disables the output when junction temperature exceeds safe limits. Recovery occurs automatically once die temperature falls below the thermal shutdown threshold. This feature prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking conditions.
