Product details
Overview
LP3990QTLX-2.8Q1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive-qualified 150-mA low-noise linear voltage regulator delivering a precise 2.8 V output from 2 V to 6 V input, with 1% room-temperature accuracy, 43 µA quiescent current (enabled), and stable operation using only 1 µF ceramic input/output capacitors. It serves as the primary power supply for low-voltage digital subsystems in infotainment and body electronics.
For engineers reviewing the LP3990QTLX-2.8Q1 datasheet, LP3990QTLX-2.8Q1 pinout, LP3990QTLX-2.8Q1 application, or LP3990QTLX-2.8Q1 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 2.8 V fixed output, DSBGA-4 package footprint, 120 mV dropout at 150 mA, 150 µVRMS output noise, and logic-controlled enable with internal 1-MΩ pulldown - all validated for –40°C to +125°C junction temperature operation.
Technical Context
The LP3990QTLX-2.8Q1 implements a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low quiescent current and fast 105 µs startup time. Its internal reference and error amplifier maintain regulation across line (2 V–6 V), load (0–150 mA), and temperature (–40°C to +125°C) variations with ±1% initial accuracy and <±2.5% total tolerance.
Enable control is active-high with VIH = 0.95 V and VIL = 0.4 V, supported by an integrated 1-MΩ pulldown resistor ensuring default-off behavior. Protection includes thermal shutdown at ~155°C with 15°C hysteresis and short-circuit current limiting at 550–1000 mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.8 V ±1% at 25°C; maintains regulation over full automotive temperature range. |
| Max Output Current | 150 mA continuous; supports digital SoCs, microcontrollers, and sensors without external heatsinking. |
| Dropout Voltage | 120 mV (typ) at 150 mA; enables operation down to VIN = 2.92 V while sustaining 2.8 V output. |
| Quiescent Current | 43 µA (typ) when enabled; ensures minimal battery drain in always-on vehicle modules. |
| Output Noise | 150 µVRMS (10 Hz–100 kHz); suitable for noise-sensitive analog/digital mixed-signal circuits. |
| PSRR | 55 dB at 1 kHz; suppresses ripple from upstream switching converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Enable Threshold | VIH = 0.95 V (min), VIL = 0.4 V (max); compatible with 1.8 V/3.3 V GPIO without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
LP3990QTLX-2.8Q1 uses a 1.324 mm × 1.045 mm DSBGA-4 (YZR) package with bottom-side solder balls. The package is moisture-sensitive level 1 (MSL-1) and requires no special handling per TI SNVSA66A.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | GND | Common ground reference for all internal circuitry and external capacitors; must connect directly to low-impedance PCB ground plane. |
| A2 | EN | Active-high enable input with internal 1-MΩ pulldown; drives regulator ON when ≥0.95 V, OFF when ≤0.4 V. |
| B1 | OUT | Regulated 2.8 V output; requires 1 µF ceramic capacitor (X7R/X5R) placed within 1 cm of this pin. |
| B2 | IN | Input supply (2 V–6 V); requires 1 µF ceramic capacitor placed within 1 cm of this pin and connected to GND. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar linear regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS7B6728QPWPRQ1 | Higher 250 mA output, 200 mV dropout, 60 µA IQ; requires 2.2 µF output capacitor. | Targeted at higher-current loads like motor drivers or multi-rail PMICs; less space-constrained designs. | Select when >150 mA load current or tighter transient response is required; accepts same 2.8 V output but larger footprint (HTSSOP-6). |
| TLV73328PQDBVRQ1 | Lower 300 mA output, 170 mV dropout, 30 µA IQ; stable with 1 µF ceramic but lacks AEC-Q100 Grade 1 rating. | Intended for non-safety-critical interior lighting or HVAC controls; not qualified for instrument cluster use. | Choose for cost-sensitive cabin modules where Grade 1 qualification is unnecessary; same DSBGA-4 size but lower thermal robustness. |
Compared with TPS7B6728QPWPRQ1 and TLV73328PQDBVRQ1, the LP3990QTLX-2.8Q1 uniquely balances ultra-low noise (150 µVRMS), minimal footprint (DSBGA-4), and full AEC-Q100 Grade 1 compliance - making it optimal for space-constrained, noise-sensitive automotive digital rails where 150 mA suffices.

FAQ
What is the exact output voltage tolerance of the LP3990QTLX-2.8Q1 over temperature and load?
The LP3990QTLX-2.8Q1 guarantees ±1% output voltage accuracy at room temperature and ±2.5% over full operating conditions (–40°C to +125°C junction temperature, 0–150 mA load, 2–6 V input). This is confirmed in Section 6.5 of the SNVSA66A datasheet under "Output voltage tolerance" with min/max limits of –2.5% and +2.5%.
Does the LP3990QTLX-2.8Q1 require an external pull-up resistor on the EN pin?
No. The LP3990QTLX-2.8Q1 includes an internal 1-MΩ pulldown resistor on the EN pin, ensuring default-off behavior when left floating. An external pull-up is only needed if active-high logic control from a low-drive-strength source (e.g., open-drain MCU GPIO) is used - otherwise, direct connection to 1.8 V or 3.3 V logic is sufficient.
Can the LP3990QTLX-2.8Q1 operate with a 1.8 V input voltage?
No. The LP3990QTLX-2.8Q1 has a minimum input voltage of 2 V per Section 6.3 of the datasheet. At 2.8 V output, the absolute minimum input is VOUT + VDO = 2.8 V + 0.12 V = 2.92 V under 150 mA load; therefore, 1.8 V is below both the functional and dropout thresholds and will not regulate.
Is the LP3990QTLX-2.8Q1 compatible with X5R ceramic capacitors for CIN and COUT?
Yes. The LP3990QTLX-2.8Q1 is explicitly characterized and stable with 1 µF X5R, X7R, Y5V, or Z5U ceramic capacitors (Section 6.6 and 8.2.2.4). X5R is recommended for applications operating up to +85°C ambient; X7R is preferred for full –40°C to +125°C range due to tighter capacitance drift.
What thermal protection features does the LP3990QTLX-2.8Q1 include?
The LP3990QTLX-2.8Q1 integrates thermal shutdown that disables the output when junction temperature reaches ~155°C, with ~15°C hysteresis (re-enabling at ~140°C). This protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design, as documented in Section 7.3.2 and Table 6.5 under "Thermal shutdown".
