Product details
Overview
LP3990TL-0.8/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 150-mA, 0.8-V fixed-output linear voltage regulator in a 4-pin DSBGA package, designed for space-constrained digital applications requiring ultra-low quiescent current (43 µA enabled, <10 nA disabled), high voltage accuracy (±1% at 25°C), and stability with only 1-µF ceramic input/output capacitors. It operates from 2 V to 6 V input and delivers regulated power to core logic, RF ICs, and low-voltage microcontrollers in portable battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the LP3990TL-0.8/NOPB datasheet, LP3990TL-0.8/NOPB pinout, LP3990TL-0.8/NOPB application, or LP3990TL-0.8/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include dropout voltage (120 mV at 150 mA), PSRR (55 dB at 1 kHz), fast start-up time (105 µs), thermal shutdown threshold (155°C), and compatibility with 0402/0603 ceramic capacitors without noise-bypass requirements.
Technical Context
The LP3990TL-0.8/NOPB integrates a precision bandgap reference, error amplifier, and PMOS pass transistor optimized for low-noise, low-IQ operation across –40°C to 125°C junction temperature. Its enable circuit includes a 1-MΩ internal pull-down resistor and defined VIH/VIL thresholds (0.95 V / 0.4 V) for reliable logic-level control.
It employs no external compensation and achieves stability with minimal 1-µF ceramic output capacitance due to inherent phase-margin optimization-eliminating need for noise-bypass caps while maintaining 150 µVRMS output noise and 55 dB PSRR at 1 kHz under 1–150 mA load range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 0.8 V ±1% at 25°C; supports core voltage scaling for sub-1V digital ICs. |
| Max Output Current | 150 mA continuous; sufficient for single-core processors, memory I/O, and RF transceivers. |
| Dropout Voltage | 120 mV (typ) at 150 mA; enables regulation down to VIN = 0.92 V, critical for deep battery discharge. |
| Quiescent Current | 43 µA (enabled), <10 nA (disabled); extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes and standby modes. |
| PSRR | 55 dB at 1 kHz; suppresses switching noise from DC/DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Start-Up Time | 105 µs (to 95% VOUT); meets fast wake-up timing for low-power microcontroller sleep-to-active transitions. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 155°C activation with 15°C hysteresis; protects against sustained overload without requiring external thermal management. |
Pinout & Package
LP3990TL-0.8/NOPB uses a 4-ball DSBGA (YZR) package measuring 1.324 mm × 1.045 mm (max), with bottom-side thermal pad connected internally to GND (Pin 2). The compact footprint targets ultra-thin mobile PCBs and wearable devices where board area is constrained.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (B2) | Input supply connection | Accepts 2–6 V; requires 1-µF ceramic capacitor within 1 cm to minimize input impedance and ensure stability. |
| EN (A2) | Logic-controlled enable input | Active-high; 0.95 V min VIH ensures compatibility with 1.8-V/3.3-V GPIO; internal 1-MΩ pull-down guarantees default-off state. |
| GND (A1) | Common ground reference | Return path for IN, OUT, and EN; must be low-impedance and tied directly to thermal pad for optimal thermal performance. |
| OUT (B1) | Regulated output terminal | Delivers stable 0.8 V; requires 1-µF ceramic capacitor with ESR 5–500 mΩ placed adjacent to pin for transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 0.8-V output | Eliminates external feedback resistors, reducing BOM count and layout complexity for ASIC/FPGA core rails. |
| Ceramic-capacitor stability | Validated with 1-µF X7R/X5R ceramics-enables use of 0402/0603 packages, cutting board area by >50% vs. tantalum alternatives. |
| No noise-bypass capacitor required | Integrated noise suppression architecture reduces component count and avoids parasitic resonance issues common with bypass caps. |
| Virtually zero shutdown IQ | <10 nA disable current prevents battery drain in long-term storage or deep-sleep modes (e.g., IoT edge sensors). |
| Thermal and short-circuit protection | Auto-recovering shutdown prevents permanent damage during fault conditions without external current-limiting circuitry. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-IQ fixed-output LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPL720F18-DBVR | 0.8-V output, 200-mA rating, 50-µA IQ (enabled), 10-nA shutdown IQ; WSON-6 package (2.9 × 1.6 mm). | Larger footprint and higher IQ limit use in space-constrained wearables; better suited for higher-current peripherals. | Select when >150 mA load or enhanced thermal dissipation (RθJA = 53.9°C/W) is required. |
| MCP1804T-0802E/MB | 0.8-V output, 150-mA rating, 3.5-µA IQ (enabled), 1-µA shutdown IQ; SOT-23-5 package (3.0 × 3.0 mm). | Lower IQ improves battery life but slower 300-µs start-up limits real-time wake-up; larger SOT-23 footprint increases board area. | Select for ultra-low-power applications where start-up latency is non-critical and board space permits SOT-23. |
Compared with TPL720F18-DBVR and MCP1804T-0802E/MB, LP3990TL-0.8/NOPB uniquely balances ultra-small DSBGA size, 105-µs start-up, and 43-µA enabled IQ-making it optimal for miniaturized, latency-sensitive digital loads where both footprint and responsiveness are constrained.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LP3990TL-0.8/NOPB to regulate 0.8 V output?
The LP3990TL-0.8/NOPB requires a minimum input voltage of 2 V or (VOUT + VDO), whichever is greater. With a typical dropout voltage of 120 mV at 150 mA, LP3990TL-0.8/NOPB regulates properly at VIN ≥ 0.92 V-but per datasheet specifications, the absolute minimum valid input is 2 V to ensure full functional operation across temperature and process variation.
Can LP3990TL-0.8/NOPB operate without an output capacitor?
No-LP3990TL-0.8/NOPB requires a minimum 0.7 µF ceramic output capacitor (1 µF recommended) connected between OUT and GND for stability. Omitting COUT causes oscillation and unregulated output. The device is optimized for 1-µF X7R/X5R ceramics with 5–500 mΩ ESR; tantalum or electrolytic types are not recommended due to ESR and aging limitations.
Does LP3990TL-0.8/NOPB require a noise-bypass capacitor?
No-LP3990TL-0.8/NOPB is explicitly designed to operate without a noise-bypass capacitor. Its internal architecture achieves 150 µVRMS output noise and 55 dB PSRR at 1 kHz using only the standard 1-µF input and output ceramic capacitors, eliminating component count and potential resonance risks associated with bypass caps.
What happens if the EN pin of LP3990TL-0.8/NOPB is left floating?
If the EN pin of LP3990TL-0.8/NOPB is left unconnected, its internal 1-MΩ pull-down resistor forces VEN ≤ 0.4 V, placing the device in shutdown mode with output disabled and quiescent current <10 nA. To ensure reliable operation, EN must be actively driven above 0.95 V to enable regulation.
Is LP3990TL-0.8/NOPB compatible with 0402-size ceramic capacitors?
Yes-LP3990TL-0.8/NOPB is validated for use with 0402 ceramic capacitors (e.g., 1 µF, 6.3 V, X5R) as both input and output capacitors. However, designers must verify DC bias derating: at 0.8 V output, 0402 X5R caps typically retain >85% nominal capacitance, satisfying the 0.7 µF minimum requirement across temperature and bias conditions.
