Product details
Overview
LP3984ITP-2.9/NOPB from Texas Instruments (formerly National Semiconductor) is a micropower, ultra low-dropout CMOS voltage regulator delivering 2.9V at up to 150mA from 2.5V–6.0V input. It features 75mV typical dropout at full load, ≤1.2µA shutdown current, and 20µs turn-on time-optimized for space-constrained battery-powered wireless handsets.
For engineers reviewing the LP3984ITP-2.9/NOPB datasheet, LP3984ITP-2.9/NOPB pinout, LP3984ITP-2.9/NOPB application, or LP3984ITP-2.9/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its micro SMD package footprint, logic-controlled enable interface, stable operation with 1µF tantalum output capacitor, and guaranteed −40°C to +125°C junction temperature range.
Technical Context
The LP3984ITP-2.9/NOPB employs a CMOS pass element architecture enabling ultra-low quiescent current and minimal dropout voltage across load and input voltage variations. Its internal bandgap reference and error amplifier maintain ±2.0% output voltage tolerance over temperature and line/load conditions.
It integrates thermal shutdown (160°C trip) and short-circuit current limiting (600mA steady-state), with PSRR exceeding 60dB at 1kHz and 40dB at 10kHz-critical for RF-sensitive portable applications where supply noise coupling must be minimized.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.9V ±2.0% - tightly regulated nominal rail for baseband processors or RF ICs requiring stable low-noise supply |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 6.0V - supports single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V), dual-cell alkaline, or USB-powered systems |
| Max Output Current | 150mA - sufficient for modem subsystems, Bluetooth radios, or sensor hubs in handheld devices |
| Dropout Voltage | 75mV typ. @ 150mA - enables regulation down to ~2.975V input, extending usable battery life near end-of-discharge |
| Quiescent Current | 80–125µA active / ≤1.2µA shutdown - minimizes standby drain in always-on circuits like keep-alive RAM |
| PSRR | 60dB @ 1kHz, 40dB @ 10kHz - suppresses switching noise from PMICs or DC/DC converters feeding adjacent rails |
| Turn-On Time | 20µs typ. - enables rapid power sequencing in wake-from-sleep scenarios without system latency |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for automotive infotainment modules and industrial handheld terminals |
Pinout & Package
LP3984ITP-2.9/NOPB uses a 4-bump micro SMD package (NS package code TPA04EJA), 0.500mm height, footprint 0.879mm × 0.980mm. Pin numbering follows JEDEC standard: A2=VEN, A1=GND, B1=VOUT, B2=VIN; no connection on SOT-23 pin 4 is omitted in micro SMD layout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VEN (A2) | Logic Enable Input | Active-high control: ≥1.4V enables regulator; ≤0.4V disables output and reduces IQ to ≤1.2µA |
| GND (A1) | Power Ground | Common return path for input, output, and bias currents; requires low-impedance PCB plane |
| VOUT (B1) | Regulated Output | Delivers stable 2.9V to load; requires 1–22µF tantalum capacitor with 2–10Ω ESR for stability |
| VIN (B2) | Input Supply | Accepts 2.5–6.0V; requires ≥1µF input capacitor placed within 1cm of pin and connected to clean analog ground |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPL720F29DBVR | 200mA output, 50mV dropout @ 150mA, 2.5µA IQ in shutdown, SOT-23-5 only | Higher output current and lower dropout; lacks micro SMD option and 1µF tantalum stability guarantee | Choose for higher load margin or lower dropout; avoid if board space or tantalum capacitor compatibility is critical |
| MCP1700T-2902E/TT | 250mA output, 178mV dropout @ 250mA, 1.6µA IQ, SOT-23-3 (no enable) | No enable pin; higher dropout limits usable input range; wider temp range (−40°C to +125°C same) | Choose for cost-sensitive designs without enable control; avoid when fast sequencing or ultra-low dropout is required |
Compared with LP3984ITP-2.9/NOPB, TPL720F29DBVR offers superior dropout and current but sacrifices micro SMD packaging and tantalum-cap stability, while MCP1700T-2902E/TT eliminates enable functionality and increases dropout-making LP3984ITP-2.9/NOPB optimal for space-constrained, enable-driven, low-noise portable systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LP3984ITP-2.9/NOPB?
The absolute maximum input voltage for LP3984ITP-2.9/NOPB is 6.5V, but the recommended operating range is 2.5V to 6.0V per the datasheet. Exceeding 6.0V risks violating safe operating area limits, especially at elevated temperatures, and may trigger thermal shutdown or degrade long-term reliability. Always maintain VIN ≤6.0V in normal operation to ensure compliance with specified electrical characteristics and lifetime performance of LP3984ITP-2.9/NOPB.
Does LP3984ITP-2.9/NOPB require an external bypass capacitor?
LP3984ITP-2.9/NOPB does not require an external bypass capacitor for basic regulation, but a noise-reduction capacitor on the BYP pin (if present in variant) improves PSRR and output noise. The LP3984ITP-2.9/NOPB micro SMD variant has no dedicated BYP pin-its noise performance relies on proper 1µF tantalum output capacitance and layout. Therefore, no separate bypass cap is needed for LP3984ITP-2.9/NOPB; stability and noise suppression are achieved via the specified output capacitor and PCB grounding.
Can LP3984ITP-2.9/NOPB operate with ceramic output capacitors?
LP3984ITP-2.9/NOPB is explicitly characterized and guaranteed stable with 1–22µF tantalum capacitors having 2–10Ω ESR. While some ceramic capacitors may function in lab prototypes, the datasheet does not validate stability with low-ESR ceramics, and oscillation or poor transient response can occur. For production use, LP3984ITP-2.9/NOPB must be paired with a tantalum output capacitor meeting the specified ESR range to ensure reliable regulation under all load and temperature conditions.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of LP3984ITP-2.9/NOPB in its micro SMD package?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) for LP3984ITP-2.9/NOPB in the 4-bump micro SMD package (TPA04EJA) is 340°C/W, as specified in the Operating Ratings table. This value assumes standard JEDEC test board conditions (2-layer board, 1-in² copper). Actual θJA in end equipment depends on PCB copper area, airflow, and nearby heat sources-designers should verify junction temperature using TJ = TA + (θJA × PD) and ensure it remains ≤125°C under worst-case load and ambient conditions for LP3984ITP-2.9/NOPB.
Is LP3984ITP-2.9/NOPB RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, LP3984ITP-2.9/NOPB is RoHS compliant and lead-free. The "/NOPB" suffix explicitly denotes lead-free (Pb-free) packaging per JEDEC J-STD-609, and TI certifies compliance with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and related restrictions on hazardous substances. The device uses matte tin lead finish and meets TI's Banned Substances Specification (CSP-9-111S2), making LP3984ITP-2.9/NOPB suitable for environmentally regulated commercial and industrial applications.
