Product details
Overview
LP3988IMFX-2.85/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a micropower, ultra-low-dropout CMOS voltage regulator delivering 150 mA at fixed 2.85 V output with Power Good (PG) flag, 80 mV typical dropout at full load, ≤1 µA shutdown quiescent current, and operation from 2.5 V to 6 V input. It targets battery-powered wireless handsets requiring stable low-noise supply and fault monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the LP3988IMFX-2.85/NOPB datasheet, LP3988IMFX-2.85/NOPB pinout, LP3988IMFX-2.85/NOPB application, or LP3988IMFX-2.85/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 2.85 V ±3% output tolerance over −40°C to +125°C, open-drain PG response time of 10 µs, fast 100 µs turnon, and compatibility with 1-µF ceramic output capacitors in space-constrained portable designs.
Technical Context
The LP3988IMFX-2.85/NOPB integrates a PMOS pass transistor with internal reference and error amplifier, enabling ultra-low dropout and minimal ground current increase in dropout mode. Its enable logic accepts 1.2 V VIH and 0.5 V VIL thresholds, supporting direct connection to low-voltage microcontrollers.
Power Good functionality uses dual thresholds-93% VOUT high trip and 90% VOUT low trip-with 10 µs typical delay and open-drain output requiring external pullup. Thermal shutdown activates at ~160°C with 20°C hysteresis, and short-circuit protection limits output current to 600 mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.85 V ±3% over −40°C to +125°C - ensures stable core logic supply for 2.8 V–3.0 V I/O domains |
| Max Output Current | 150 mA - sufficient for baseband processors, RF transceivers, and memory in compact handsets |
| Dropout Voltage | 80 mV typical at 150 mA - enables regulation down to VIN = 2.93 V, extending usable battery range |
| Quiescent Current | ≤1 µA in shutdown - minimizes leakage during sleep modes in always-on mobile devices |
| PSRR @ 10 kHz | 45 dB - suppresses switching noise from DC/DC converters feeding the LDO input |
| PG Response Time | 10 µs typical - provides rapid fault detection for system reset or brownout management |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5 V to 6 V - supports single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2 V), Li-polymer, and dual-cell alkaline inputs |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 package (2.90 mm × 1.60 mm), thermally enhanced with GND as primary heat path via lead 2. Compatible with standard reflow profiles and automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2.5–6 V; requires ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor placed ≤1 cm from pin to GND |
| OUT | Regulated output | Delivers 2.85 V ±3%; stable with 1–22 µF ceramic cap (5–500 mΩ ESR) |
| EN | Logic-enable input | Active-high; VIH = 1.2 V min, VIL = 0.5 V max - interfaces directly with 1.8 V or 3.3 V GPIO |
| PG | Open-drain Power Good flag | Pulled low when VOUT < 90% nominal; requires external pullup to ≤6 V rail |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for IN, OUT, EN, PG; critical thermal path in SOT-23 layout |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 80 mV at 150 mA enables operation near battery end-of-discharge (e.g., 2.93 V input → 2.85 V output) |
| Power Good flag | 10 µs response with 3% hysteresis (90–93% VOUT) allows precise sequencing and fault isolation |
| Micropower shutdown | ≤1 µA IQ in disable mode extends standby time in cellular standby and deep-sleep states |
| Ceramic capacitor stability | Guaranteed stability with 1 µF X7R ceramic output cap - eliminates need for larger, costlier tantalum |
| Thermal protection | 160°C shutdown with 20°C hysteresis prevents damage during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design |
Applications
| CDMA Handset Power Rail | GSM Baseband Core Supply |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Supplies 2.85 V to CDMA transceiver ICs and analog front-end circuitry in slim handset form factors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary LDO for noise-sensitive RF sections; PG flag triggers RF power-down on undervoltage.

Use Scenario: Provides clean 2.85 V bias to WCDMA power amplifier driver stages and mixer LO buffers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-noise local supply; PG monitors rail integrity before PA enable assertion. Use Value: 220 µVRMS output noise avoids AM-to-PM distortion; 150 mA headroom supports burst-mode PA peaks. | Use Scenario: Powers stereo audio codec and flash memory interface in handheld media players. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary LDO for mixed-signal subsystem; EN synchronized with display backlight control. Use Value: Stable no-load regulation maintains codec bias during playback pause; 1 µF ceramic cap saves board area vs. tantalum. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-dropout regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPL720F12-DBVR | Fixed 1.2 V output; 200 mA rating; 120 mV dropout at 200 mA; no PG flag | Lacks Power Good monitoring; suited for digital core rails where fault signaling is handled externally | Select when 1.2 V output and higher current are required, and PG is unnecessary |
| TPS731285DBVR | 2.85 V output; 250 mA rating; 170 mV dropout at 250 mA; no PG flag; 30 µA quiescent current | Higher IQ and dropout; lacks PG but offers better transient response and higher current | Choose for higher load margin and improved line/load regulation where PG is omitted from system architecture |
Compared with TPL720F12-DBVR and TPS731285DBVR, the LP3988IMFX-2.85/NOPB uniquely combines 2.85 V output, ultra-low dropout (80 mV), micropower shutdown (≤1 µA), and integrated Power Good-making it optimal for battery-critical, fault-aware RF and baseband subsystems where all four attributes are simultaneously required.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the LP3988IMFX-2.85/NOPB across temperature and load?
The LP3988IMFX-2.85/NOPB delivers 2.85 V with ±3% tolerance over the full operating junction temperature range (−40°C to +125°C) and load range (0–150 mA). This specification is guaranteed per TI's SNVS161E datasheet Section 6.5, ensuring consistent performance in thermally demanding handset environments without external trimming.
Does the LP3988IMFX-2.85/NOPB require an external pullup resistor on the PG pin?
Yes, the LP3988IMFX-2.85/NOPB PG pin is an open-drain output and requires an external pullup resistor to a supply rail ≤6 V. Typical values range from 10 kΩ to 100 kΩ depending on rise time and bus loading requirements. The device does not integrate a pullup, and leaving PG floating or unconnected disables Power Good functionality.
Can the LP3988IMFX-2.85/NOPB operate with only a 1-µF output capacitor?
Yes, the LP3988IMFX-2.85/NOPB is explicitly designed and production-tested for stability with a single 1-µF ceramic output capacitor (X7R, Y5V, or Z5U dielectric). This is confirmed in Section 9.2.2.3 of the SNVS161E datasheet and eliminates the need for larger or higher-ESR alternatives in space-constrained layouts.
What is the maximum input voltage the LP3988IMFX-2.85/NOPB can tolerate?
The LP3988IMFX-2.85/NOPB has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 6.5 V on the IN pin (Section 6.1), but its recommended operating maximum is 6 V. Exceeding 6 V risks permanent damage and violates the Absolute Maximum Ratings - design must ensure VIN stays within 2.5 V to 6 V under all conditions including transients.
How does the enable function behave when the EN pin is left unconnected?
The LP3988IMFX-2.85/NOPB EN pin has no internal pullup or pulldown. If left floating, the device state is undefined and may oscillate or remain disabled. TI recommends tying EN to IN for always-on operation or using an active GPIO with defined 0 V / 1.8 V levels - never leaving EN unconnected in production designs.
