Product details
Overview
LP2992AILD-1.5/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a fixed-output, micropower, ultra-low-dropout linear regulator in 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package, delivering up to 250mA output current with ±0.5% output accuracy (new chip), 30μVRMS output noise (with 10nF bypass capacitor), and 70dB PSRR at 1kHz. It powers low-voltage microcontrollers in battery-operated industrial control systems where stable, low-noise biasing is critical.
For engineers reviewing the LP2992AILD-1.5/NOPB datasheet, LP2992AILD-1.5/NOPB pinout, LP2992AILD-1.5/NOPB application, or LP2992AILD-1.5/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 250mA (225–260mV), shutdown current (1.12μA typ), stability with 2.2µF ceramic output capacitors, and enable logic thresholds (0.72V low / 0.85V high).
Technical Context
The LP2992AILD-1.5/NOPB employs a CMOS pass transistor architecture with internal bandgap reference and soft-start circuitry, enabling controlled inrush current and fast load transient response. Its BYPASS pin connects to an external 10nF capacitor to reduce reference noise, directly contributing to the 30μVRMS output noise specification.
It integrates overcurrent protection, thermal shutdown, and active pull-down on disable - all operating across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature. The ON/OFF pin is active-high with defined VIH/VIL thresholds (0.85V/0.72V), and the device maintains regulation down to VIN = VOUT + 235mV at full load and temperature extremes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.5V ±0.5% (new chip), ensuring tight regulation for 1.5V-core MCUs without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 250mA continuous - sufficient to power ARM Cortex-M0+ cores with peripherals under peak load. |
| Dropout Voltage | 225mV (typ) at 250mA and TJ = 25°C; rises to 340mV at –40°C to +125°C - enables operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0V min) into 1.5V rail. |
| Ground Pin Current | 875μA (typ) at 250mA load - enables accurate efficiency calculation and thermal modeling in compact PCB layouts. |
| PSRR | 70dB at 1kHz, 40dB at 1MHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Output Noise | 30μVRMS (300Hz–50kHz, 10nF BYPASS) - meets stringent analog sensor and RF front-end supply requirements. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C junction - qualified for industrial motor drives and outdoor telecom equipment. |
Pinout & Package
LP2992AILD-1.5/NOPB uses the 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package: 2.9mm × 2.8mm body, gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (Pin 1) | Input supply connection | Accepts 2.5V–16V; requires ≥1µF ceramic input capacitor close to pin for stability and EMI suppression. |
| OUT (Pin 5) | Regulated output | Delivers fixed 1.5V; stable with ≥2.2µF ceramic output capacitor - no tantalum or electrolytic required. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power ground reference | Common return path for IN, OUT, BYPASS, and ON/OFF; must be low-impedance copper pour for noise control. |
| ON/OFF (Pin 3) | Enable control input | Active-high logic: ≥0.85V enables regulator; ≤0.72V disables it and activates internal output pulldown. |
| BYPASS (Pin 4) | Noise reduction node | Connects to 10nF capacitor to GND to lower reference noise - essential to achieve 30μVRMS output noise spec. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Micropower quiescent current | 69μA at zero load - extends battery life in always-on IoT sensors and remote monitoring nodes. |
| Ultra-low-noise regulation | 30μVRMS output noise with 10nF BYPASS cap - eliminates need for post-LDO LC filtering in precision ADC or PLL supplies. |
| Wide-input compatibility | 2.5V–16V input range - supports direct connection to 12V industrial rails or multi-cell battery stacks without pre-regulation. |
| Thermal & current protection | Integrated overtemperature shutdown and foldback current limiting - prevents damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Soft-start behavior | Internal ramp limits inrush current - reduces stress on input capacitors and avoids brownout in shared power domains. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TSS721AIDR | Fixed 1.5V output, ±2% accuracy, 150mA max, 120mV dropout at 150mA, no BYPASS pin. | Lacks low-noise capability (no bypass option); limited current for MCU+peripherals. | Choose only if cost is primary constraint and noise/PSRR requirements are relaxed. |
| TPS7A0515PDBVR | Fixed 1.5V, ±1% accuracy, 200mA, 175mV dropout at 200mA, 25μA IQ, no BYPASS pin. | Lower IQ but higher noise (65μVRMS); not specified for >125°C operation. | Prefer for battery longevity in consumer tools; avoid in industrial/mMIMO where 125°C rating and 30μVRMS are mandatory. |
Compared with TSS721AIDR and TPS7A0515PDBVR, LP2992AILD-1.5/NOPB uniquely delivers 1.5V regulation with ±0.5% accuracy, 30μVRMS noise, and full –40°C to +125°C qualification - making it the only choice for high-reliability, noise-sensitive industrial and telecom applications requiring guaranteed performance at temperature extremes.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LP2992AILD-1.5/NOPB to maintain regulation at full 250mA load and 125°C?
The LP2992AILD-1.5/NOPB requires a minimum input voltage of 1.84V (1.5V + 340mV dropout) to maintain regulation at 250mA and +125°C. This value is derived from the maximum dropout voltage specification (340mV) under those conditions - confirming suitability for single-cell Li-ion (3.0V nominal) and 3.3V system rails with margin.
Does LP2992AILD-1.5/NOPB require an external bypass capacitor, and what happens if it is omitted?
Yes - LP2992AILD-1.5/NOPB requires a 10nF capacitor between the BYPASS pin and GND to achieve its specified 30μVRMS output noise. Omitting it increases output noise to ~65μVRMS (as seen in comparable TI LDOs without bypass), degrading ADC SNR and PLL phase noise in sensitive signal chains.
Can LP2992AILD-1.5/NOPB be used with a 1µF output capacitor instead of the recommended 2.2µF?
No - the LP2992AILD-1.5/NOPB is only guaranteed stable with ≥2.2µF ceramic output capacitance. Using 1µF violates the minimum COUT requirement and risks oscillation, especially under dynamic load conditions, as confirmed by TI's stability testing and application notes.
What is the shutdown current of LP2992AILD-1.5/NOPB, and how is it measured?
The LP2992AILD-1.5/NOPB has a typical shutdown current of 1.12μA when the ON/OFF pin is driven below 0.15V and VIN = 16V at –40°C to +125°C. This value is measured per TI's Electrical Characteristics table (Section 5.5) and reflects total device leakage in disabled state - critical for battery-powered systems with long sleep intervals.
Is LP2992AILD-1.5/NOPB pin-compatible with earlier LP2992 variants in SOT-23 packages?
Yes - LP2992AILD-1.5/NOPB uses the same 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) footprint and pinout as legacy LP2992 devices, including identical IN, OUT, GND, ON/OFF, and BYPASS assignments. No PCB layout changes are needed when upgrading from standard-grade or A-grade versions to this new-chip variant.
