Product details
Overview
LP3988ITLX-1.85/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a micropower, ultra-low-dropout CMOS voltage regulator delivering 150 mA output at fixed 1.85 V with ±3% tolerance, 80 mV typical dropout at full load, and integrated open-drain Power Good (PG) flag. It operates from 2.5 V to 6 V input, consumes ≤1 µA in shutdown, and targets battery-powered RF front-ends and baseband ICs in cellular handsets.
For engineers reviewing the LP3988ITLX-1.85/NOPB datasheet, LP3988ITLX-1.85/NOPB pinout, LP3988ITLX-1.85/NOPB application, or LP3988ITLX-1.85/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 1.85 V output accuracy over −40°C to +125°C, PG response time ≤10 µs, PSRR ≥45 dB at 10 kHz, and compatibility with 1-µF ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The LP3988ITLX-1.85/NOPB integrates a PMOS pass transistor with internal reference and error amplifier to achieve ultra-low dropout and stable regulation under dynamic load. Its enable-controlled startup sequence ensures fast turnon (<100 µs), while the open-drain PG output monitors VOUT against 93% (typ.) high-threshold and 90% (typ.) low-threshold trip points.
Thermal shutdown activates at ~160°C with 20°C hysteresis, and current limiting caps output at ~600 mA. The device requires no external compensation and remains stable with 1-µF X7R ceramic COUT (5–500 mΩ ESR) and 1-µF CIN, enabling compact PCB layouts in space-constrained portable designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.85 V ±3% over −40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable core logic supply for low-voltage ASICs and RF ICs. |
| Max Output Current | 150 mA continuous - sufficient for powering single-core baseband processors or RF transceivers in CDMA/GSM handsets. |
| Dropout Voltage | 80 mV (typ.) at 150 mA - enables operation down to VIN = 1.93 V, extending usable battery range in Li-ion discharge profiles. |
| Quiescent Current | ≤1 µA in shutdown mode - minimizes standby leakage in always-on subsystems like real-time clocks or backup RAM. |
| PSRR | 45 dB at 10 kHz - suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC/DC converters feeding the same battery rail. |
| Power Good Delay | 10 µs (typ.) turnon/turnoff - provides precise sequencing control for downstream logic without external timers. |
| Operating Temp Range | −40°C to +125°C junction - qualified for automotive infotainment and industrial handheld terminals. |
Pinout & Package
LP3988ITLX-1.85/NOPB is packaged in a 5-pin thin DSBGA (YZR) with 1.502 mm × 1.045 mm body size and bottom-side solder bumps. Thermal performance relies on PCB copper area connected to the four peripheral bumps.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2.5 V to 6 V; must be decoupled with ≥1-µF ceramic capacitor within 1 cm of pin. |
| OUT | Regulated output | Delivers fixed 1.85 V; requires 1-µF ceramic capacitor (X7R/Z5U/Y5V) with 5–500 mΩ ESR for stability. |
| EN | Logic-enable input | Active-high (VIH ≥1.2 V); tie to IN for always-on operation; draws ≤0.1 µA when pulled low. |
| PG | Open-drain Power Good flag | Drives low when VOUT <90% of 1.85 V; requires external pullup to ≤6 V rail (e.g., VIN or VOUT). |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for IN, OUT, EN, and PG; connects to PCB ground plane via thermal vias under DSBGA bumps. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | ≤1 µA shutdown current extends battery life in sleep-mode applications such as mobile phone standby. |
| Integrated Power Good monitoring | Factory-trimmed 90%/93% VOUT thresholds with 10 µs response enable deterministic power sequencing without external comparators. |
| Ceramic-capacitor optimized | Stable with 1-µF output capacitor eliminates need for bulky tantalum parts, reducing BOM cost and board area by >50%. |
| Thermal and short-circuit protection | 160°C thermal shutdown with 20°C hysteresis and 600 mA current limit prevent damage during overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Wide input voltage range | 2.5 V to 6 V operation supports direct connection to single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2 V) or dual-cell alkaline (3–6 V) sources. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-dropout regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPL7407LDR | 7-channel high-side driver with integrated 1.8-V LDO; no PG output; 200-mA per channel; larger SOT-23-8 package. | Targeted at LED/motor driver integration, not standalone precision regulation. | Select only if driving discrete loads alongside regulation is required; not a drop-in replacement. |
| TPS7A05185PDBVR | 150-mA LDO with 1.85 V output, 1.4-μA IQ, but no PG flag; uses SOT-23-5 package with identical pinout except PG pin repurposed as NC. | Lacks power sequencing capability; suitable where system-level monitoring replaces chip-level PG. | Choose when PG is unnecessary and lowest possible quiescent current (1.4 μA vs. LP3988's 150 μA active IQ) is critical. |
Compared with TPL7407LDR and TPS7A05185PDBVR, LP3988ITLX-1.85/NOPB uniquely combines 1.85 V precision regulation, integrated PG flag, and DSBGA footprint-enabling smaller, sequenced, and fault-monitored power rails in ultra-compact portable electronics.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of LP3988ITLX-1.85/NOPB over temperature?
The LP3988ITLX-1.85/NOPB delivers 1.85 V output with ±3% tolerance across the full −40°C to +125°C junction temperature range, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table (Section 6.5). This tolerance applies to both SOT-23 and DSBGA packages and ensures stable core voltage for low-voltage logic in demanding environments.
Does LP3988ITLX-1.85/NOPB require an external pullup resistor on the PG pin?
Yes, LP3988ITLX-1.85/NOPB features an open-drain PG output that requires an external pullup resistor to a valid rail (≤6 V, e.g., VIN or VOUT). Typical values range from 10 kΩ to 100 kΩ. Without this pullup, the PG signal cannot assert high to indicate "VOUT OK", rendering power sequencing nonfunctional.
Can LP3988ITLX-1.85/NOPB operate with a 1.8-V input supply?
No, LP3988ITLX-1.85/NOPB requires a minimum input voltage of 2.5 V or (VOUT + 200 mV), whichever is greater. For its 1.85 V output, the minimum VIN is 2.05 V-but the datasheet explicitly specifies 2.5 V as the absolute lower limit. A 1.8-V input falls below specification and will not sustain regulation.
What is the maximum allowable output capacitor ESR for stable operation of LP3988ITLX-1.85/NOPB?
The LP3988ITLX-1.85/NOPB is stable with output capacitor ESR between 5 mΩ and 500 mΩ, as confirmed in Section 6.5 and Application Note SNVS161E. Using an ESR outside this range-especially below 5 mΩ (e.g., some high-end polymer caps)-may cause oscillation or poor transient response.
Is LP3988ITLX-1.85/NOPB pin-compatible with other variants in the LP3988 family?
Yes, all LP3988 variants-including LP3988ITLX-1.85/NOPB-share identical 5-pin DSBGA (YZR) and SOT-23 (DBV) footprints and pin functions (IN, OUT, EN, PG, GND). Output voltage is factory-trimmed; no external resistors are needed, enabling direct substitution across 1.5 V to 3.3 V versions when board layout permits.
