Product details
Overview
LP2989AIMM-3.0/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a fixed-output 3.0 V, 500-mA ultra-low-dropout linear regulator optimized for ceramic output capacitors in space-constrained, battery-powered systems. It delivers 0.75% output voltage accuracy (A grade), 310 mV typical dropout at 500 mA, and 18 µVRMS output noise with 10-nF bypass capacitor - enabling precision power for RF front-ends and low-noise analog circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LP2989AIMM-3.0/NOPB datasheet, LP2989AIMM-3.0/NOPB pinout, LP2989AIMM-3.0/NOPB application, or LP2989AIMM-3.0/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.1–16 V input range, <0.8 µA shutdown current, error flag output, thermal/overcurrent protection, and WSON-8 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LP2989AIMM-3.0/NOPB uses a vertically integrated PNP (VIP) pass transistor architecture to achieve ultra-low dropout and minimal ground pin current across load conditions. Its internal 1.23-V reference and precision feedback network enable tight line regulation (0.005%/V typical) and low temperature coefficient (20 ppm/°C).
It integrates an error comparator that asserts low when output drops >5% below nominal, plus a dedicated SHUTDOWN pin with defined turn-on (>1.6 V) and turn-off (<0.18 V) thresholds - supporting controlled power sequencing without external logic.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.0 V ±0.75% (A grade) at 25°C - ensures stable bias for ADC references and PLL VCOs without trimming. |
| Max Output Current | 500 mA continuous - supports single-rail powering of microcontrollers, sensors, and interface ICs. |
| Dropout Voltage | 310 mV typical at 500 mA - enables operation from 3.31 V input, critical for Li-ion battery discharge tail-end. |
| Quiescent Current | 75 µA typical - extends battery life in always-on monitoring nodes; <0.8 µA in shutdown mode. |
| Output Noise | 18 µVRMS (100 Hz–100 kHz) with 10-nF bypass cap - meets low-noise requirements for RF receivers and precision op-amps. |
| PSRR | 60 dB at 1 kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters in hybrid power architectures. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +125°C junction - qualified for automotive infotainment and industrial control environments. |
Pinout & Package
LP2989AIMM-3.0/NOPB is packaged in an 8-pin WSON (NGN) package measuring 4.00 mm × 4.00 mm with exposed thermal pad. The thermal pad must be connected to PCB ground plane via thermal vias for reliable power dissipation up to 750 mW.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BYPASS (Pin 1) | Bypass capacitor node | Connects 10-nF capacitor to GND to reduce output noise to 18 µVRMS; essential for RF/analog applications. |
| N/C (Pin 2) | No-connect calibration pin | Factory-trimmed for output accuracy; must remain floating - no PCB trace or test probe connection. |
| GROUND (Pin 3) | Power ground return | Primary GND path for regulator core; ties to thermal pad for thermal management and noise control. |
| INPUT (Pin 4) | Unregulated input supply | Accepts 2.1–16 V; connects directly to bulk input capacitor; must exceed VOUT + dropout for regulation. |
| OUTPUT (Pin 5) | Regulated 3.0 V output | Delivers up to 500 mA; requires ≥4.7 µF ceramic output capacitor for stability and transient response. |
| SENSE (Pin 6) | Feedback voltage sense | Monitors output at load point; enables remote sensing to compensate for PCB trace IR drop. |
| ERROR (Pin 7) | Error flag output | Open-drain logic-low signal when VOUT falls >5% - used for system fault detection or supervisor reset assertion. |
| SHUTDOWN (Pin 8) | Enable/disable control | Active-high logic input; >1.6 V = ON, <0.18 V = OFF; slew rate ≥40 mV/µs required to avoid metastability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for LP2989AIMM-3.0/NOPB?
The LP2989AIMM-3.0/NOPB supports an absolute maximum input voltage of 16 V, with recommended operating range from 2.1 V to 16 V. Exceeding 16 V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings. For reliable operation, maintain VIN ≥ VOUT + dropout (≥3.31 V at 500 mA) and ensure proper input capacitance (≥2.2 µF ceramic) to prevent instability.
Does LP2989AIMM-3.0/NOPB require an external bypass capacitor?
Yes - LP2989AIMM-3.0/NOPB requires a 10-nF capacitor between BYPASS (Pin 1) and GROUND (Pin 3) to achieve its specified 18 µVRMS output noise. Omitting this capacitor increases noise to ~100 µVRMS. The capacitor must be placed close to the pins with short, low-inductance traces to preserve high-frequency noise suppression.
How does the ERROR pin on LP2989AIMM-3.0/NOPB function?
The ERROR pin (Pin 7) is an open-drain output that pulls low when the regulated OUTPUT voltage drops more than approximately 5% below 3.0 V - indicating dropout, overload, or thermal shutdown. It remains high-impedance otherwise. An external pull-up resistor (typically 10 kΩ to 3.3 V) is required for proper logic-level interfacing with microcontrollers or supervisors.
Can LP2989AIMM-3.0/NOPB be used with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes - LP2989AIMM-3.0/NOPB is specifically designed for stable operation with ceramic output capacitors ≥4.7 µF. Unlike older LDOs, it does not require ESR-based damping, eliminating the need for tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors. Larger ceramic values improve transient response and reduce output impedance across frequency.
What is the thermal pad connection requirement for LP2989AIMM-3.0/NOPB in WSON-8 package?
The exposed thermal pad on LP2989AIMM-3.0/NOPB must be soldered to a PCB copper pour tied to GROUND (Pin 3). Use ≥4 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter) under the pad, filled or capped, connecting to inner-layer ground planes. Do not float or connect the pad to any voltage other than GND - incorrect routing causes thermal runaway or degraded PSRR.
