Product details
Overview
LP2988IM-3.2/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a micropower, 200 mA ultra-low-dropout linear voltage regulator with programmable power-on reset delay and bypass pin for noise reduction. It delivers 3.2 V output at ±0.5% accuracy (A-grade), 180 mV dropout at 200 mA, and 20 µVRMS output noise (BW = 300 Hz–50 kHz) when using 0.01 µF bypass capacitor. It serves as a precision low-noise supply in portable audio and imaging subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the LP2988IM-3.2/NOPB datasheet, LP2988IM-3.2/NOPB pinout, LP2988IM-3.2/NOPB application, or LP2988IM-3.2/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.2 V fixed output, ultra-low noise performance enabled by the BYPASS pin, integrated POR delay via single external capacitor, thermal shutdown, and compatibility with SOIC-8 footprint for space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The LP2988IM-3.2/NOPB uses a vertically integrated PNP (VIP) pass transistor architecture to achieve ultra-low dropout and low ground current across load range. Its error amplifier references a stable 1.23 V bandgap, enabling precise output regulation and tight line/load transient response.
It integrates dual comparators: one monitors output voltage for reset assertion (−5% threshold), while the second controls POR timing via internal 2.2 µA current source charging an external DELAY capacitor. The BYPASS pin directly shunts high-frequency noise from the bandgap reference node.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.2 V, ±0.5% tolerance over −40°C to +125°C junction temperature - ensures stable biasing of noise-sensitive analog circuitry without trimming. |
| Dropout Voltage | 180 mV @ 200 mA load - enables operation from 3.38 V input, critical for single-cell Li-ion or regulated 3.3 V rail applications. |
| Output Noise | 20 µVRMS (300 Hz–50 kHz) with 0.01 µF BYPASS capacitor - reduces phase noise in RF receivers and jitter in ADC clocking paths. |
| Power-On Reset Delay | Programmable via single external capacitor on DELAY pin - supports sequenced power-up in multi-rail systems without external timers. |
| Quiescent Current | <2 µA in shutdown mode - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes and standby circuits. |
| Operating Input Range | 2.1 V to 16 V - accommodates wide-input industrial supplies and legacy 5 V/12 V rails while maintaining regulation down to near-VOUT. |
| Thermal Protection | Integrated overtemperature shutdown - prevents damage during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
LP2988IM-3.2/NOPB is packaged in SOIC-8 (D package, drawing D0008A), with exposed pad not present. Thermal resistance θJ−A = 160°C/W. Pin 1 is top-left corner, marked by dot or bevelled edge.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BYPASS (Pin 1) | Bandgap reference bypass node | Connects 0.01 µF low-leakage ceramic (NPO/COG) to reduce output noise; leakage >1 nA degrades output accuracy. |
| DELAY (Pin 2) | POR timing control | Sinks 2.2 µA to ground until VOUT reaches 95%; then charges external CDELAY to generate reset timeout. |
| GROUND (Pin 3) | Power return path | Low-impedance analog ground connection; separate from digital ground to avoid noise coupling into reference circuitry. |
| INPUT (Pin 4) | Unregulated input supply | Accepts 2.1–16 V; requires ≥2.2 µF input capacitor within 0.5″ to suppress ripple and prevent instability. |
| SENSE (Pin 5) | Output voltage feedback | High-impedance sense input; connects directly to load for remote sensing to compensate trace IR drop. |
| OUTPUT (Pin 6) | Regulated output | Delivers up to 200 mA; requires ≥4.7 µF output capacitor with ESR between 0.1–10 Ω for stability. |
| SHUTDOWN (Pin 7) | Enable/disable control | Active-high logic; must exceed 1.6 V to enable, drop below 0.18 V to disable; slew rate ≥40 mV/µs required. |
| ERROR (Pin 8) | Open-collector reset flag | Asserts low when VOUT drops >5% below 3.2 V; requires external pull-up for microcontroller reset signaling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low output noise | 20 µVRMS (300 Hz–50 kHz) with 0.01 µF BYPASS capacitor - meets stringent SNR requirements in audio DACs and RF front-ends. |
| Single-capacitor POR delay | Delay time set by CDELAY = TDELAY / 5.59×10⁵ - eliminates need for external RC timer ICs in portable system power sequencing. |
| 0.5% output accuracy (A-grade) | Guaranteed over full −40°C to +125°C range - enables direct replacement of higher-cost precision regulators in automotive and industrial sensors. |
| 180 mV dropout @ 200 mA | Enables >94% efficiency at 3.2 V out from 3.38 V input - maximizes usable battery voltage in coin-cell or single-LiFePO₄ applications. |
| Integrated protection | Thermal shutdown and current limiting - prevents latch-up and catastrophic failure during short-circuit or overtemperature events. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-noise LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLC7703IPW | 3.3 V fixed output, no BYPASS pin, 35 µVRMS noise, 350 mV dropout @ 200 mA | Lacks ultra-low-noise capability and POR delay; suited for non-audio digital loads only | Select when 3.3 V (not 3.2 V) output suffices and noise <30 µVRMS is acceptable |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LP2988IM-3.2/NOPB to regulate at full 200 mA load?
The LP2988IM-3.2/NOPB requires a minimum input voltage of 3.38 V to maintain regulation at 200 mA load, based on its 180 mV typical dropout voltage (3.2 V + 0.18 V). Below this, output voltage collapses linearly with input. The absolute minimum operating input is 2.1 V, but regulation is not guaranteed below 3.38 V under full load.
How does the BYPASS pin reduce output noise in LP2988IM-3.2/NOPB?
The BYPASS pin connects directly to the bandgap reference node inside the LP2988IM-3.2/NOPB. A 0.01 µF NPO/COG ceramic capacitor shunts high-frequency noise from this node, preventing it from modulating the error amplifier and pass transistor. This achieves 20 µVRMS output noise - five times lower than the LP2987 variant without BYPASS.
Can LP2988IM-3.2/NOPB be used with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, but only with series resistance. The LP2988IM-3.2/NOPB requires output capacitor ESR between 0.1 Ω and 10 Ω for stability. Standard ceramic capacitors have ESR < 10 mΩ, so a 1 Ω resistor must be placed in series with the ceramic output capacitor to meet stability criteria per TI Application Hints.
What is the function of the DELAY pin on LP2988IM-3.2/NOPB, and how is delay time calculated?
The DELAY pin sources a precise 2.2 µA current after VOUT reaches 95% of 3.2 V, charging an external capacitor to generate power-on reset timeout. Delay time is calculated as TDELAY = CDELAY × 5.59×10⁵. For example, a 100 nF capacitor yields ~56 ms delay. Maximum recommended CDELAY is 1 µF.
Does LP2988IM-3.2/NOPB support remote sensing, and how is it implemented?
Yes, LP2988IM-3.2/NOPB supports remote sensing via the SENSE pin (Pin 5). Connect SENSE directly to the load side of the output trace to compensate for voltage drop across PCB copper. This maintains 3.2 V accuracy at the load point, critical for precision analog circuits located away from the regulator.
