Product details
Overview
LP3982IMM-2.5 from Texas Instruments (formerly National Semiconductor) is a fixed-output 2.5V, 300mA micropower ultra low-dropout CMOS linear regulator in an 8-pin MSOP package. It delivers ±2% output voltage tolerance, 120mV typical dropout at full load, 90µA typical quiescent current, and 37µVRMS output noise (10Hz–100kHz), enabling efficient power delivery in space-constrained battery-powered systems such as wireless handsets and portable information appliances.
For engineers reviewing the LP3982IMM-2.5 datasheet, LP3982IMM-2.5 pinout, LP3982IMM-2.5 application, or LP3982IMM-2.5 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1nA shutdown current, PMOS pass transistor architecture, stability with 2.2µF ceramic output capacitors, FAULT pin for regulation monitoring, and compatibility with Maxim MAX8860 footprint and electrical behavior-excluding reverse-battery protection and Dual Mode™ functionality.
Technical Context
The LP3982IMM-2.5 employs a PMOS pass transistor topology with internal 1.25V bandgap reference and error amplifier feedback loop, enabling ultra-low dropout operation without external drive current. Its internally generated compensation zero ensures stability with low-ESR ceramic capacitors as small as 2.2µF, eliminating reliance on capacitor ESR for loop control.
It integrates fault detection via open-drain FAULT pin that asserts low during thermal shutdown, current limit, or input-to-output differential approaching dropout; shutdown control is implemented through logic-level SHDN pin (VIH ≥2V, VIL ≤0.4V), reducing supply current to 1nA typ. Start-up time is 120µs typ with 10µF output capacitor.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5V ±2% over −40°C to +85°C, supporting precise core/logic rail requirements. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA DC, sufficient for DSP cores, microcontroller I/O banks, and RF front-end biasing. |
| Dropout Voltage | 120mV typ at 300mA, enabling >95% battery energy utilization down to ~2.62V input. |
| Quiescent Current | 90µA typ at no load, minimizing standby drain in always-on subsystems like RTC or RAM keep-alive. |
| PSRR | 60dB typ at 1kHz, suppressing switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters. |
| Output Noise | 37µVRMS (10Hz–100kHz), critical for noise-sensitive analog circuits and ADC references. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 6.0V, compatible with single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V), LiFePO₄ (2.0–3.6V), and dual-cell alkaline stacks. |
| Shutdown Current | 1nA typ, enabling multi-year shelf life in sealed portable devices. |
Pinout & Package
LP3982IMM-2.5 is housed in an 8-pin MSOP (Micro Small Outline Package) with 0.65mm pitch, thermal pad exposed on underside per NSC drawing MUA08A. Package dimensions: 3.0mm × 3.0mm × 1.0mm height.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VIN) | Input Supply | Primary power input; requires ≥1µF ceramic bypass capacitance for stability. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground Reference | Analog and power ground common node; connects to thermal pad for heat dissipation. |
| 3 (VOUT) | Regulated Output | 2.5V regulated output; stable with ≥2.2µF ceramic capacitor (X5R/X7R recommended). |
| 4 (FAULT) | Open-Drain Fault Indicator | Asserts low during thermal shutdown, current limit, or input-to-output differential < dropout threshold; requires external pull-up. |
| 5 (SHDN) | Logic-Controlled Enable | Active-high enable; 0.4V max logic low, 2V min logic high; ties directly to VIN for always-on operation. |
| 6 (CC) | Noise Bypass Input | Connects to internal bandgap reference; 33nF NPO/COG capacitor reduces output noise by filtering reference ripple. |
| 7 (VOUT) | Secondary Output Terminal | Dual VOUT pins reduce trace resistance and improve load transient response; must be shorted externally. |
| 8 (NC) | No Connect | Internally unconnected; left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice (no functional impact). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| PMOS Pass Transistor | Eliminates base/gate drive current, enabling ultra-low IQ and simplifying bias design vs. PNP-based LDOs. |

| FAULT Pin Monitoring | Provides system-level fault visibility for thermal, overload, and near-dropout conditions-enables graceful shutdown or alert logging. |
| Fast 120µs Turn-On | Minimizes power-up delay in wake-from-sleep sequences; unaffected by optional CC capacitor sizing. |
| ±2% Output Tolerance | Guaranteed accuracy across temperature and load enables direct replacement of precision references without trimming. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-noise, micropower LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX8860EUB25+T | Pin- and package-compatible; identical 2.5V output, 300mA rating, and 120mV dropout-but lacks FAULT pin and CC noise-bypass terminal. | No integrated fault reporting; requires external monitoring circuitry for thermal/current events. | Select when footprint compatibility is mandatory and fault visibility is handled elsewhere in system design. |
| TPL7407LADGKR | 2.5V fixed, 300mA, 125mV dropout, 25µA IQ-but uses NMOS pass device, requiring ≥2.7V input minimum and lacking true shutdown (1µA sleep). | Higher minimum input voltage limits use with deeply discharged Li-ion; no 1nA shutdown mode. | Select when ultra-low IQ is secondary to cost and board area; avoid in coin-cell or deep-discharge battery systems. |
Compared with LP3982IMM-2.5, MAX8860EUB25+T offers identical mechanical and basic electrical fit but omits fault monitoring, while TPL7407LADGKR trades 65× higher shutdown current and 0.2V higher VINMIN for lower quiescent current in active mode-making LP3982IMM-2.5 optimal for battery longevity and system-level reliability in portable medical and communication devices.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LP3982IMM-2.5 to regulate at 2.5V output?
The LP3982IMM-2.5 requires a minimum input voltage of 2.5V per Absolute Maximum Ratings and Operating Ratings tables. However, to maintain regulation under 300mA load, VIN must exceed VOUT by at least the dropout voltage-120mV typ, so ≥2.62V is required for full-load operation. At lighter loads, dropout decreases (e.g., 0.4mV at 1mA), allowing regulation closer to 2.5V input.
Does LP3982IMM-2.5 require an external capacitor on the CC pin, and what happens if it is omitted?
Yes, LP3982IMM-2.5 requires a 33nF NPO or COG ceramic capacitor between CC (Pin 6) and GND to achieve its specified 37µVRMS output noise. Omitting it increases broadband noise by ~2× and degrades PSRR above 10kHz. The CC pin connects directly to the high-impedance bandgap reference; leakage in non-NPO dielectrics can also shift output voltage.
Can LP3982IMM-2.5 be used with a 1µF input capacitor, and is a tantalum capacitor recommended?
LP3982IMM-2.5 requires a minimum 1µF ceramic input capacitor for stability in most end-use applications. Tantalum capacitors (e.g., 10µF) are only recommended for bench testing with long supply leads to dampen inductive ringing-due to their failure-in-short-circuit risk, they are not advised for production use. Ceramic remains preferred for reliability and ESR consistency.
How does the FAULT pin on LP3982IMM-2.5 behave during thermal shutdown, and what external component is needed?
The FAULT pin on LP3982IMM-2.5 is an open-drain output that pulls low during thermal shutdown, current limit, or when input-to-output differential falls within ~50mV of dropout. It requires an external pull-up resistor-100kΩ is recommended-to minimize current draw while ensuring clean logic-level signaling to host microcontrollers or supervisors.
Is LP3982IMM-2.5 compatible with the MAX8860 footprint, and are there functional differences?
Yes, LP3982IMM-2.5 is pin-, package-, and specification-compatible with Maxim MAX8860EUB25+T in 8-pin µMAX (equivalent to MSOP). Key functional differences include LP3982IMM-2.5's integrated FAULT pin and CC noise-bypass terminal-features absent in MAX8860-which provide enhanced system monitoring and lower output noise without additional components.
