Product details
Overview
LP3987ITLX-3.0/NOPB from National Semiconductor is a 150 mA ultra-low-dropout CMOS voltage regulator with fixed 3.0 V output, 100 mV max dropout at full load, <1 µA shutdown current, and dedicated MODE pin enabling 14 µA sleep-mode operation-designed for battery-powered handheld RF systems requiring extended standby life.
For engineers reviewing the LP3987ITLX-3.0/NOPB datasheet, LP3987ITLX-3.0/NOPB pinout, LP3987ITLX-3.0/NOPB application, or LP3987ITLX-3.0/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include micro SMD package compatibility, dual-mode (active/sleep) quiescent current behavior, ceramic capacitor stability down to 1 µF, PSRR of 50 dB at 10 kHz, and thermal/short-circuit protection in −40°C to +125°C operation.
Technical Context
The LP3987ITLX-3.0/NOPB integrates a PMOS pass transistor enabling ultra-low dropout (60–100 mV at 150 mA), logic-controlled enable (VEN), and independent MODE pin for hardware-selectable active/sleep states. Its internal compensation ensures stability with 1 µF ±20% ceramic output capacitors as low as 5 mΩ ESR.
It features dual protection architecture: thermal shutdown triggers at 155°C junction temperature, and short-circuit current limit is 600 mA in active mode versus 28–43 mA in sleep mode-enabling safe low-power backup operation without external current limiting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.0 V ±3% over −40°C to +125°C; supports stable µP/DSP core supply without external feedback. |
| Max Dropout Voltage | 100 mV at 150 mA load; enables regulation from 3.1 V input-critical for single-cell Li-ion or Li-poly systems near end-of-discharge. |
| Quiescent Current | 85–120 µA in active mode (MODE = 1.8 V); reduces system idle power in portable information appliances. |
| Sleep Mode Current | 14–21 µA at 50 µA load; extends battery life in SRAM backup and GSM standby modes. |
| PSRR | 50 dB at 10 kHz (active mode); suppresses switching noise from DC-DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 6.0 V; accommodates wide battery chemistries including Li-ion, NiMH, and 2-cell alkaline. |
| Protection Features | Thermal shutdown (155°C), short-circuit current limit (600 mA active / 43 mA sleep), and reverse-voltage safe inputs. |
Pinout & Package
LP3987ITLX-3.0/NOPB uses a 5-bump micro SMD package (NS Package Number TLA05, 1.006 mm × 1.438 mm footprint) with non-solder-mask-defined (NSMD) pads per AN-1112. It requires precise reflow alignment and avoids direct sunlight exposure during operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VEN (A1) | Enable Input | Logic-high (≥1.2 V) activates regulator; logic-low (≤0.5 V) disables output and reduces IQ to <1 µA. |
| GND (B2) | Ground Reference | Common return path for VIN, VOUT, and control pins; must connect to low-impedance analog ground plane. |
| VOUT (C1) | Regulated Output | Delivers stable 3.0 V to load; requires ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor (5–500 mΩ ESR) for stability. |
| VIN (C3) | Input Supply | Accepts 2.7–6.0 V; requires ≥1 µF input capacitor placed within 1 cm of pin for transient immunity. |
| MODE (A3) | Power Mode Control | High (≥1.2 V) enables full 150 mA output; low (≤0.5 V) enters 3 mA/14 µA sleep mode for RAM keep-alive. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Micropower Sleep Mode | 14 µA IQ with 3 mA output capability-enables >1-year coin-cell operation in SRAM backup circuits. |
| Ceramic Capacitor Stability | Stable with 1 µF ±20% X7R/Z5U/Y5V ceramics (5–500 mΩ ESR); eliminates need for larger, costlier tantalum caps. |
| Ultra-Low Dropout | 60 mV typical dropout at 150 mA-maximizes usable battery voltage range in CDMA/GSM handsets. |
| Integrated Protection | Thermal shutdown (155°C) and dual-level short-circuit limiting (600 mA active / 43 mA sleep) prevent fault propagation. |
| Micro SMD Footprint | 1.006 mm × 1.438 mm, 5-bump layout-reduces PCB area by >70% vs. SOT-23, critical for slim handheld designs. |
Applications
| CDMA Handset Power Management | GSM Baseband Core Supply |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Regulating power to CDMA transceiver ICs during burst transmission and deep sleep cycles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary LDO delivering clean 3.0 V to RF synthesizer and baseband processor under dynamic load. Use Value: 100 mV dropout preserves battery headroom; 50 dB PSRR rejects DC-DC switching noise at 10 kHz. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-low-IQ LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6206P302MR | 150 mA, 3.0 V, 1 µA IQ shutdown, but no dedicated sleep mode; 300 mV dropout at 150 mA. | Lacks MODE-controlled low-power state; suitable only where continuous 150 mA is required. | Choose when board space allows SOT-23 and sleep mode is unnecessary. |
| Diodes Inc. AP2112K-3.0 | 600 mA, 3.0 V, 60 µA IQ, no sleep mode; 350 mV dropout at full load; includes foldback current limit. | Higher output current but higher IQ and dropout; no low-power standby capability. | Prefer for high-current peripherals where sleep mode adds complexity. |
Compared with XC6206P302MR and AP2112K-3.0, LP3987ITLX-3.0/NOPB uniquely delivers sub-20 µA sleep-mode operation with 3 mA output-making it the only option among the three for long-duration SRAM backup or GSM standby without sacrificing regulation accuracy or noise performance.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LP3987ITLX-3.0/NOPB?
The absolute maximum input voltage for LP3987ITLX-3.0/NOPB is 6.5 V, while the recommended operating range is 2.7 V to 6.0 V. Exceeding 6.5 V risks permanent damage. The device maintains regulation down to VIN = VOUT + 200 mV (i.e., 3.2 V minimum for 3.0 V output), making it compatible with aging Li-ion cells. LP3987ITLX-3.0/NOPB includes internal protection against overvoltage stress on the VIN pin.
How does the MODE pin affect output current capability in LP3987ITLX-3.0/NOPB?
When MODE = 0 V, LP3987ITLX-3.0/NOPB enters sleep mode with maximum output current limited to 3 mA and quiescent current reduced to 14–21 µA. When MODE = 1.8 V, it operates in active mode delivering up to 150 mA. This hard current limit prevents thermal overload during standby and ensures predictable battery drain. LP3987ITLX-3.0/NOPB does not support intermediate current levels-the MODE pin is strictly binary.
Can LP3987ITLX-3.0/NOPB operate stably with a 1 µF ceramic output capacitor?
Yes-LP3987ITLX-3.0/NOPB is explicitly characterized and guaranteed stable with a 1 µF ±20% ceramic capacitor having ESR between 5 mΩ and 500 mΩ. This eliminates the need for larger tantalum or electrolytic capacitors. The device's internal compensation is optimized for this low-ESR condition, and stability is maintained across −40°C to +125°C. LP3987ITLX-3.0/NOPB achieves no-load regulation without external load, critical for SRAM keep-alive use.
What is the typical turn-on time for LP3987ITLX-3.0/NOPB in active mode?
The typical turn-on time (TON) for LP3987ITLX-3.0/NOPB in active mode is 170–250 µs when MODE = 1.8 V and COUT = 4.7 µF, measured from the rising edge of VEN to VOUT reaching 95% of 3.0 V. With 1 µF output capacitance, TON decreases further. This fast startup supports rapid wake-up in GSM time-slot architectures. LP3987ITLX-3.0/NOPB also provides 200–300 µs settle time when transitioning from sleep to active mode (TMODE).
Does LP3987ITLX-3.0/NOPB require special PCB layout considerations due to its micro SMD package?
Yes-LP3987ITLX-3.0/NOPB uses a 5-bump micro SMD (TLA05) package requiring NSMD (non-solder-mask-defined) copper pads per National Semiconductor AN-1112. Pad dimensions must match the 1.006 mm × 1.438 mm footprint precisely, and alignment ordinals on the PCB aid placement. Thermal vias under the GND bump improve heat dissipation. LP3987ITLX-3.0/NOPB is light-sensitive: direct sunlight or halogen lamps within 1 cm can cause misoperation.
