Product details
Overview
LP2992IM5X-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 operates across 2.5V–16V input range and is designed for low-noise power supply to MCUs, RF front-ends, and precision analog circuits in space-constrained industrial systems.
For engineers reviewing the LP2992IM5X-1.5 datasheet, LP2992IM5X-1.5 pinout, LP2992IM5X-1.5 application, or LP2992IM5X-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 - all critical for battery-powered and noise-sensitive embedded designs.
Technical Context
The LP2992IM5X-1.5 implements a CMOS-based LDO architecture with an internal bandgap reference (1.2V), adjustable feedback via external resistor divider (not applicable to fixed 1.5V variant), and active-high ON/OFF enable control. Its low-quiescent-current design (69µA at zero load) and soft-start circuitry minimize inrush current during power-up.
It features integrated thermal shutdown, current limiting (300–350mA peak), and output pulldown on disable. The BYPASS pin connects to a 10nF capacitor to reduce reference noise, directly enabling the 30µVRMS output noise specification - a key differentiator versus standard LDOs in RF and high-PSRR applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.5V ±0.5% (new chip) - ensures stable core voltage for low-voltage logic and I/O interfaces without external feedback components. |
| Max Output Current | 250mA - sufficient to power ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers, sensor signal chains, or RF bias rails in compact modules. |
| Dropout Voltage | 225mV max at 250mA and –40°C to +125°C - enables operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0V min) or 3.3V rails with margin. |
| Ground Pin Current | 875µA typ at 250mA load - contributes <0.35% of total power loss at full load, supporting micropower system budgets. |
| Output Noise | 30µVRMS (300Hz–50kHz, 10nF BYPASS) - meets stringent noise requirements for ADC references and VCO power supplies. |
| PSRR | 70dB at 1kHz, 40dB at 1MHz - effectively suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters without additional filtering. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 16V - supports wide-input industrial power rails, including 5V, 12V, and unregulated adapter inputs. |
Pinout & Package
LP2992IM5X-1.5 is housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package measuring 2.9mm × 2.8mm, with exposed pad not present (SOT-23-5 DBV, not WSON). Thermal performance is characterized by RθJA = 178.6°C/W (JEDEC 2s2p board).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (Pin 1) | Input supply connection | Accepts 2.5V–16V input; 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 output capacitor (ESR ≤1Ω); no electrolytic required. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power ground reference | Common return path for IN, OUT, BYPASS, and ON/OFF; must be low-impedance for noise control. |
| BYPASS (Pin 4) | Noise reduction node | Connects to 10nF capacitor to GND to lower reference voltage noise - essential to achieve 30µVRMS spec. |
| ON/OFF (Pin 3) | Enable control input | Active-high logic: >0.85V enables regulator; <0.15V disables it and activates internal output pulldown. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low-noise regulation | 30µVRMS output noise with 10nF BYPASS cap - enables clean power for RF synthesizers and precision ADCs. |
| Micropower quiescent operation | 69µA IQ at zero load - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes and IoT endpoints. |
| Wide-input, low-ESR stability | Stable with 2.2µF ceramic output caps (no tantalum needed) - reduces BOM cost and improves reliability vs. electrolytics. |
| High PSRR across frequency | 70dB @ 1kHz and 40dB @ 1MHz - attenuates switching ripple from buck converters without LC filters. |
| Integrated protection | Thermal shutdown + current limit (300–350mA) - prevents damage during overload or short-circuit events. |
Applications
| Motor Control Power Rail | Low-Voltage MCU Core Supply |

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, 200mA max, higher IQ (120µA), no BYPASS pin, 65dB PSRR @ 1kHz | Lacks low-noise BYPASS functionality; unsuitable for RF/analog-sensitive designs requiring <50µVRMS | Select only if noise sensitivity is low and cost is primary constraint; verify thermal derating at 250mA. |
| TPS7A2015PDBVR | Fixed 1.5V, ±1% accuracy, 300mA, 6.5µA IQ, 70dB PSRR @ 1kHz, but requires ≥1µF COUT and no BYPASS pin | No dedicated noise-reduction pin; achieves 12µVRMS via internal architecture - not configurable like LP2992's BYPASS | Prefer when ultra-low IQ dominates design priority and noise is managed via layout; not drop-in due to different pinout and no BYPASS. |
Compared with TSS721AIDR and TPS7A2015PDBVR, LP2992IM5X-1.5 uniquely combines 30µVRMS noise (via user-configurable BYPASS), ±0.5% accuracy, and proven 250mA capability in SOT-23 - making it the only option among the three qualified for noise-critical RF biasing where external capacitor tuning is required.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of LP2992IM5X-1.5 over temperature and load?
The LP2992IM5X-1.5 has a guaranteed output voltage tolerance of ±0.5% at room temperature and ±1% across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature and 1mA–250mA load range. This is specified for the "new chip" revision and reflects tighter regulation than legacy LP2992 variants.
Can LP2992IM5X-1.5 operate with a 2.2µF ceramic output capacitor?
Yes, LP2992IM5X-1.5 is explicitly characterized and stable with a 2.2µF ceramic output capacitor (X5R/X7R, 10% tolerance, 50% derating). No series ESR is required, and the device supports output capacitors with ESR up to 1Ω - eliminating need for tantalum or polymer types.
What is the purpose of the BYPASS pin on LP2992IM5X-1.5?
The BYPASS pin on LP2992IM5X-1.5 connects to a 10nF capacitor to ground to filter the internal reference voltage. This configuration reduces output noise to 30µVRMS (300Hz–50kHz); omitting the BYPASS capacitor degrades noise performance to ~100µVRMS, per TI characterization data.
Does LP2992IM5X-1.5 include thermal protection?
Yes, LP2992IM5X-1.5 integrates thermal shutdown protection that disables the output when junction temperature exceeds approximately +150°C. Recovery occurs automatically once temperature falls below the hysteresis threshold (~140°C), and the device resumes regulation without external intervention.
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LP2992IM5X-1.5?
The absolute maximum continuous input voltage for LP2992IM5X-1.5 is 18V, while the recommended operating range is 2.5V to 16V. Operation above 16V is permissible only for transient conditions (e.g., load dump), and sustained operation beyond 16V may impact long-term reliability and parametric performance.
