Product details
Overview
LP2992IM5-1.5 from Texas Instruments is a fixed-output, micropower, ultra-low-dropout linear regulator in SOT-23-5 (DBV) package, delivering up to 250mA with ±0.5% output accuracy (new chip), 30μVRMS output noise (with 10nF bypass capacitor), and 70dB PSRR at 1kHz. It operates from 2.5V to 16V input and regulates precisely to 1.5V for low-voltage microcontrollers and noise-sensitive analog circuitry.
For engineers reviewing the LP2992IM5-1.5 datasheet, LP2992IM5-1.5 pinout, LP2992IM5-1.5 application, or LP2992IM5-1.5 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 250mA (225mV max over temperature), shutdown current (1.12μA typ), stability with 2.2µF ceramic output capacitors, and thermal performance in the 2.9mm × 2.8mm SOT-23 package.
Technical Context
The LP2992IM5-1.5 uses a CMOS pass transistor architecture with internal bandgap reference and error amplifier, enabling ultra-low dropout and high PSRR. Its BYPASS pin connects to an external 10nF capacitor to reduce reference noise, directly lowering integrated output noise to 30μVRMS across 300Hz–50kHz.
It integrates active-high enable (ON/OFF pin), thermal shutdown, current limiting, and internal output pulldown during disable. Soft-start minimizes inrush current, and operation over –40°C to +125°C junction temperature supports industrial and automotive under-hood applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.5V ±0.5% (new chip) - ensures stable core supply for 1.5V logic and low-power MCUs without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 250mA - sufficient to power multiple peripheral blocks or a single-core MCU with RF interface. |
| Dropout Voltage | 225mV max at 250mA and –40°C to +125°C - enables regulation from 1.725V input, critical for battery-powered systems near end-of-life. |
| Ground Pin Current | 875μA typ at 250mA load - contributes <0.22mW quiescent loss at 250mA, supporting micropower system budgets. |
| PSRR | 70dB at 1kHz, 40dB at 1MHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters, reducing need for post-regulator LC filtering. |
| Output Noise | 30μVRMS (300Hz–50kHz, 10nF BYPASS) - meets stringent noise requirements for ADC references and RF bias rails. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 16V - accommodates wide-input industrial supplies, 12V bus derivatives, and Li-ion/LiPo battery stacks (2S–4S). |
Pinout & Package
LP2992IM5-1.5 is housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package measuring 2.9mm × 2.8mm, optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts and thermal dissipation via GND pin and exposed pad (though DBV lacks thermal pad; NGD/WSON variant does).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (Pin 1) | Input supply connection | Accepts 2.5V–16V; requires ≥1µF ceramic capacitor to GND for stability and transient response. |
| OUT (Pin 5) | Regulated output | Delivers fixed 1.5V; stable with ≥2.2µF ceramic capacitor (ESR ≤1Ω) to GND. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power ground reference | Common return path for IN, OUT, BYPASS, and ON/OFF; must be low-impedance plane for noise control. |
| ON/OFF (Pin 3) | Enable control input | Active-high: >0.85V enables regulator; <0.15V disables it with internal pulldown to discharge OUT. |
| BYPASS (Pin 4) | Noise reduction node | Connects to 10nF capacitor to GND to filter bandgap reference noise, enabling 30μVRMS output noise performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low-noise regulation | 30μVRMS output noise with 10nF BYPASS cap - eliminates need for additional RC filtering in precision analog signal chains. |
| Micropower quiescent operation | 69μA IQ at zero load - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes and IoT endpoints. |
| Wide-input, fixed-output LDO | 2.5V–16V input range with 1.5V fixed output - simplifies BOM by removing external resistor network and improves accuracy vs adjustable regulators. |
| High PSRR at switching frequencies | 70dB @ 1kHz, 40dB @ 1MHz - effectively attenuates ripple from buck converters operating at 500kHz–2MHz, enabling clean mixed-signal power domains. |
| Thermal and current protection | Integrated thermal shutdown and foldback current limit - prevents damage during overload or poor heatsinking in enclosed industrial enclosures. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TSS721AIDBVR | Fixed 1.5V output, 250mA, ±2% accuracy, higher IQ (120μA), no BYPASS pin, 65dB PSRR @ 1kHz | Lacks ultra-low-noise capability; suitable only where 30μVRMS is not required | Choose when cost is primary constraint and noise sensitivity is low; verify thermal derating at full load. |
| MCP1703T-1502E/MB | Fixed 1.5V, 250mA, ±1% accuracy, 4μA IQ, but 350mV dropout at 250mA and limited PSRR (55dB @ 1kHz) | Higher dropout limits use with low-input batteries; lower PSRR increases need for external filtering | Select for ultra-low-power sleep modes; avoid in noise-critical or wide-input-range designs. |

FAQ
What is the guaranteed output voltage tolerance for LP2992IM5-1.5 across temperature and load?
The LP2992IM5-1.5 guarantees ±0.5% output voltage accuracy over load (1mA–250mA) and temperature (–40°C to +125°C), per TI's "new chip" specification. This exceeds legacy-grade variants (±1.5%) and ensures reliable operation for 1.5V-core MCUs without margining overhead.
Can LP2992IM5-1.5 operate stably with a 1µF output capacitor?
No. LP2992IM5-1.5 requires a minimum 2.2µF ceramic output capacitor for stability, as confirmed in Section 5.3 Recommended Operating Conditions. Using 1µF violates the 50% derating rule and risks oscillation; 2.2µF–4.7µF X7R/X5R MLCCs are validated.
What is the maximum allowable ESR for the output capacitor used with LP2992IM5-1.5?
The maximum supported ESR for the output capacitor is 1Ω, specified for the new chip revision. Capacitors exceeding this value require a parallel 100nF MLCC placed adjacent to the OUT pin to maintain loop stability and transient response.
Does LP2992IM5-1.5 include thermal shutdown protection?
Yes. LP2992IM5-1.5 integrates thermal shutdown protection that disables the output when junction temperature exceeds safe limits, then automatically recovers upon cooling. This is documented in Features and Section 6.3.4 of the datasheet.
How does the BYPASS pin function in LP2992IM5-1.5, and what capacitor value is recommended?
The BYPASS pin in LP2992IM5-1.5 connects to a 10nF capacitor to GND to filter the internal bandgap reference voltage, directly reducing output noise to 30μVRMS. Values less than 10nF degrade noise performance; larger values offer diminishing returns and may affect startup time.
