Product details
Overview
LP2992IM5-5.0 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 across 2.5V–16V input and supports stable regulation with 2.2µF ceramic output capacitors - ideal for powering noise-sensitive low-voltage MCUs in motor control and wireless infrastructure.
For engineers reviewing the LP2992IM5-5.0 datasheet, LP2992IM5-5.0 pinout, LP2992IM5-5.0 application, or LP2992IM5-5.0 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 250mA (225mV max over temperature), shutdown current (1.12µA typ), thermal performance (RθJA = 178.6°C/W), and compatibility with low-ESR ceramic capacitors without external compensation.
Technical Context
The LP2992IM5-5.0 uses a CMOS pass transistor architecture with internal bandgap reference (1.2V), enabling ultra-low dropout and micropower operation. Its BYPASS pin connects to an external 10nF capacitor to reduce reference noise, directly lowering integrated output noise to 30µVRMS over 300Hz–50kHz.
It integrates active-high enable (ON/OFF), thermal shutdown, current limiting (300–350mA peak), and internal output pulldown during disable. Soft-start minimizes inrush current, and stability is guaranteed with ≥2.2µF ceramic COUT and ≥1µF CIN - no ESR requirements beyond 1Ω maximum for new-chip variants.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0V ±0.5% (new chip, over load and temperature) |
| Max Output Current | 250mA continuous - sufficient for mid-power MCUs and RF bias rails |
| Dropout Voltage | 225mV max at 250mA and –40°C to +125°C - enables operation with VIN as low as 5.225V |
| Ground Pin Current | 875µA typ at 250mA load - enables high efficiency at full load |
| PSRR | 70dB at 1kHz, 40dB at 1MHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters |
| Output Noise | 30µVRMS (300Hz–50kHz, with 10nF BYPASS cap) - meets low-noise analog supply requirements |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 16V - supports wide-input industrial and battery-backed systems |
Pinout & Package
LP2992IM5-5.0 is housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package measuring 2.9mm × 2.8mm, with exposed pad not present (SOT-23-5, not WSON). Thermal performance is characterized with RθJA = 178.6°C/W on standard JEDEC 2s2p board.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (Pin 1) | Input supply | Accepts 2.5V–16V; requires ≥1µF ceramic decoupling to GND |
| OUT (Pin 5) | Regulated output | Delivers fixed 5.0V; requires ≥2.2µF ceramic capacitor to GND for stability |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power ground | Common return for IN, OUT, BYPASS, and ON/OFF; must be low-impedance |
| ON/OFF (Pin 3) | Enable control | Active-high logic: >0.85V enables regulator; <0.15V disables with internal pulldown |
| BYPASS (Pin 4) | Noise reduction node | Connects to 10nF capacitor to GND to lower reference noise and achieve 30µVRMS output noise |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low-noise regulation | 30µVRMS output noise enabled by dedicated BYPASS pin and 10nF capacitor |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TSS721AIDR | 5.0V fixed, 250mA, ±2% accuracy, higher IQ (120µA min), no BYPASS pin, 65dB PSRR @ 1kHz | Lacks low-noise BYPASS path; unsuitable for sub-50µVRMS analog rails | Select when noise is non-critical and footprint compatibility with SOIC-8 is required |
| MCP1700T-5002E/TT | 5.0V fixed, 250mA, ±0.4% accuracy, 1.6µA IQ, no enable or BYPASS, 1.6V–6.0V VIN range | Narrower input range; no ON/OFF control or noise-reduction capability | Prefer for ultra-low-power battery applications where enable and noise performance are unnecessary |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LP2992IM5-5.0 to maintain 5.0V regulation at full 250mA load and 125°C?
The LP2992IM5-5.0 requires a minimum input voltage of 5.35V under those conditions. This derives from its maximum dropout voltage of 340mV at 250mA and –40°C to +125°C (per Electrical Characteristics table), ensuring regulation remains within ±0.5% tolerance. At room temperature, dropout is lower - typically 225mV - allowing operation from 5.225V.
Can LP2992IM5-5.0 operate stably with a 1µF output capacitor?
No - LP2992IM5-5.0 requires a minimum of 2.2µF ceramic output capacitance for guaranteed stability per Recommended Operating Conditions. While the nominal derated value must remain ≥1µF, using only 1µF violates the 2.2µF minimum and risks oscillation. The device is optimized for 2.2µF–200µF X7R/X5R MLCCs with ≤1Ω ESR.
Does LP2992IM5-5.0 support reverse current blocking?
No - LP2992IM5-5.0 does not integrate reverse current blocking. When the output voltage exceeds the input (e.g., during hot-swap or backup-battery scenarios), current can flow from OUT to IN through the pass transistor's body diode. External protection (e.g., series Schottky diode or ideal diode controller) is required if reverse current must be prevented.
What is the purpose of the BYPASS pin on LP2992IM5-5.0, and what capacitor value is recommended?
The BYPASS pin on LP2992IM5-5.0 connects to an external capacitor that filters the internal voltage reference, directly reducing output noise. A 10nF ceramic capacitor to GND is specified to achieve the rated 30µVRMS output noise (300Hz–50kHz). Smaller values (100pF–1nF) yield progressively higher noise; larger values offer diminishing returns and may affect transient response.
Is LP2992IM5-5.0 pin-compatible with earlier LP2992 variants in SOT-23-5?
Yes - LP2992IM5-5.0 shares identical pinout, footprint, and electrical connections with all LP2992 variants in the DBV (SOT-23-5) package, including legacy chips. However, performance differs: newer revisions offer ±0.5% accuracy (vs. ±1.5%), lower IQ, improved PSRR (70dB vs. 45dB), and tighter dropout - all while maintaining full mechanical and functional compatibility.
