Product details
Overview
LP2992AIM5X-1.5 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 serves as a post-regulator for low-noise power domains in battery-powered RF systems and precision analog subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the LP2992AIM5X-1.5 datasheet, LP2992AIM5X-1.5 pinout, LP2992AIM5X-1.5 application, or LP2992AIM5X-1.5 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 250mA (225mV max over temperature), stability with 2.2µF ceramic output capacitors, shutdown current (1.12µA typ), and compatibility with very low-ESR capacitors in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The LP2992AIM5X-1.5 employs a CMOS pass transistor architecture with internal bandgap reference and error amplifier, enabling ultra-low dropout operation down to 225mV at full 250mA load and –40°C to +125°C junction temperature. Its BYPASS pin connects to an external 10nF capacitor to reduce reference noise, directly enabling the 30µVRMS output noise specification.
It integrates active-high ON/OFF control with defined logic thresholds (0.72V low, 0.85V high), thermal shutdown, and foldback current limiting. The device achieves 70dB ripple rejection at 1kHz and 40dB at 1MHz-critical for suppressing switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding sensitive RF or ADC circuits.

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, SOIC-8 package | Lower current capability and wider tolerance; suited for non-critical digital logic rails | Select when cost-sensitive, lower-current applications tolerate ±2% output variation and larger footprint is acceptable |
| TPS7A2015PDBVR | Fixed 1.5V output, ±1% accuracy, 300mA max, 5-pin SOT-23, 6.5µA IQ | Higher IQ efficiency and tighter accuracy, but no BYPASS pin for noise optimization | Select when ultra-low quiescent current dominates design priority and 30µVRMS noise is not required |
Compared with TSS721AIDR and TPS7A2015PDBVR, LP2992AIM5X-1.5 uniquely balances 250mA capability, ±0.5% accuracy, 30µVRMS noise (via BYPASS), and 5-pin SOT-23 size-making it optimal for RF and precision analog LDO applications where noise and accuracy are critical.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of LP2992AIM5X-1.5 over temperature and load?
The LP2992AIM5X-1.5 guarantees ±0.5% output voltage accuracy across 1mA–250mA load and –40°C to +125°C junction temperature. This tight tolerance ensures reliable operation for 1.5V-core microcontrollers and analog circuits without external trimming or calibration.
Does LP2992AIM5X-1.5 require an external bypass capacitor, and why?
Yes, LP2992AIM5X-1.5 requires a 10nF capacitor between the BYPASS pin and GND to achieve its specified 30µVRMS output noise. Without this capacitor, output noise increases significantly, compromising performance in RF and precision analog applications where low noise is mandatory.
What is the minimum input voltage needed for LP2992AIM5X-1.5 to maintain regulation at full load and high temperature?
At 250mA load and –40°C to +125°C, LP2992AIM5X-1.5 requires a minimum input voltage of 1.725V (1.5V + 225mV dropout). This ultra-low dropout enables operation from partially discharged batteries or tightly regulated intermediate rails.
Can LP2992AIM5X-1.5 be used with ceramic output capacitors smaller than 2.2µF?
No-TI specifies a minimum 2.2µF ceramic output capacitor (derated to ≥1µF effective value) for stability. Using smaller values risks oscillation or poor transient response. The device is optimized for 2.2µF–200µF ceramics with ESR ≤1Ω.
How does the ON/OFF pin function on LP2992AIM5X-1.5, and what are its voltage thresholds?
The ON/OFF pin on LP2992AIM5X-1.5 is active-high: output enables when voltage exceeds 0.85V (min) and disables when below 0.72V (max). At disable, internal pulldown actively discharges the output. If unused, tie ON/OFF to IN for always-on operation.
