Product details
Overview
LP3999ITLX-1.8/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a low-noise, 150mA fixed-output LDO voltage regulator in a 5-pin DSBGA package, designed for RF/analog power domains. It delivers a precise 1.8V ±75mV output with 60mV typical dropout at 150mA, 10µVrms output noise (10Hz–100kHz), and fast 140µs turn-on time - enabling stable biasing of sensitive analog/RF circuitry in portable wireless devices.
For engineers reviewing the LP3999ITLX-1.8/NOPB datasheet, LP3999ITLX-1.8/NOPB pinout, LP3999ITLX-1.8/NOPB application, or LP3999ITLX-1.8/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its ceramic-capacitor stability (1µF COUT), logic-controlled enable (active-high, 0.9V VIH), thermal/short-circuit protection, and operation across −40°C to +125°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The LP3999ITLX-1.8/NOPB employs a PMOS pass transistor architecture with internal bandgap reference and error amplifier, enabling ultra-low quiescent current (3nA in shutdown) and minimal dropout. Its CBYPASS pin connects directly to a high-impedance node in the reference circuit, requiring a 0.01µF capacitor to suppress noise without degrading transient response.
Stability is ensured with 1µF ceramic output capacitors (X7R/Y5V/Z5U, ESR 5–500mΩ) and no minimum load requirement. The device features active-high enable control, thermal shutdown at 160°C, and short-circuit current limiting at 450mA - all integrated within a 1.5mm × 1.5mm DSBGA package optimized for space-constrained portable designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8V ±75mV (±4.2% tolerance); ensures accurate biasing for 1.8V I/O and core rails in RF transceivers and baseband ICs. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA guaranteed; supports moderate-power analog blocks (e.g., VCOs, ADC front-ends, RF amplifiers) without derating. |
| Dropout Voltage | 60mV typical at 150mA load; enables operation down to VIN = 1.86V, maximizing battery runtime in single-cell Li-ion systems. |
| Output Noise | 10µVrms (10Hz–100kHz); critical for preserving SNR in RF receivers, PLLs, and precision analog signal chains. |
| Enable Threshold | VIH = 0.9V, VIL = 0.4V; compatible with 1.8V/3.3V GPIOs and allows clean sequencing with digital baseband processors. |
| Thermal Protection | 160°C shutdown with 20°C hysteresis; prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +125°C junction range; qualified for automotive infotainment modules and industrial handhelds. |
Pinout & Package
LP3999ITLX-1.8/NOPB is housed in a 1.5mm × 1.5mm, 5-bump DSBGA package (TI package code YZR0005), with non-solder-mask-defined (NSMD) pads and SnAgCu ball finish. Mounting requires alignment ordinals and avoids direct sunlight exposure due to light sensitivity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 (VEN) | Enable input | Active-high logic control: ≥0.9V enables regulation; ≤0.4V disables output and reduces IQ to 3nA. |
| B2 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return path for input, output, and bypass circuits; must connect to low-impedance analog ground plane. |
| C1 (VOUT) | Regulated output | Delivers 1.8V to load; requires 1µF ceramic capacitor (X7R recommended) placed within 1cm of pin. |
| C3 (VIN) | Input supply | Accepts 2.5–6.0V; requires 1µF input capacitor near pin to suppress source impedance and ensure stability. |
| A3 (CBYPASS) | Noise reduction node | Connects to bandgap reference; 0.01µF NPO/COG ceramic capacitor here reduces output noise without affecting transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low output noise | 10µVrms over 10Hz–100kHz enables use in RF synthesizers and high-resolution ADC/DAC supplies without external filtering. |
| Ceramic-capacitor stability | Guaranteed stable with 1µF X7R/Y5V output capacitor (ESR 5–500mΩ), eliminating need for larger, costlier tantalum parts. |
| Fast turn-on time | 140µs to 95% of 1.8V output enables rapid power-up of RF sections during TDMA burst transmission. |
| Virtually zero shutdown current | 3nA typical quiescent current when disabled extends battery life in sleep-mode applications like Bluetooth LE peripherals. |
| Integrated protection | Thermal shutdown (160°C) and short-circuit current limit (450mA) eliminate need for external fault management circuitry. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPL720F18-DBVR | Lower 25µVrms noise, 200mA output, but requires 2.2µF output capacitor and has higher 120µA quiescent current in active mode. | Better for ultra-low-noise RF synth supplies where 1.8V accuracy and 200mA headroom are critical. | Choose TPL720F18-DBVR if noise budget is tighter than 10µVrms and board space allows larger capacitor. |
| MCP1700T-1802E/MB | Higher 300mV dropout at 250mA, 17µVrms noise, SOT-23-5 package, and −40°C to +125°C rating - but lacks CBYPASS pin for noise optimization. | Suitable for cost-sensitive consumer audio where 1.8V tolerance ±2% suffices and layout simplicity outweighs ultra-low noise. | Choose MCP1700T-1802E/MB for legacy SMT lines supporting SOT-23 and where DSBGA assembly is unavailable. |
Compared with LP3999ITLX-1.8/NOPB, TPL720F18-DBVR offers lower noise but higher IQ and larger capacitor footprint, while MCP1700T-1802E/MB trades noise performance and package size for broader manufacturing compatibility and lower unit cost.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LP3999ITLX-1.8/NOPB?
The absolute maximum input voltage for LP3999ITLX-1.8/NOPB is 6.5V, but the recommended operating range is 2.5V to 6.0V per the datasheet. Exceeding 6.5V risks permanent damage to the internal PMOS pass element and bandgap reference circuitry. For reliable long-term operation in battery-powered systems, VIN should remain ≤6.0V, especially under hot ambient conditions where thermal stress compounds electrical overstress.
Does LP3999ITLX-1.8/NOPB require an external bypass capacitor on the CBYPASS pin?
Yes - LP3999ITLX-1.8/NOPB requires a 0.01µF ceramic capacitor (NPO or COG dielectric preferred) between the CBYPASS pin and GND. This capacitor directly stabilizes the internal bandgap reference node; omitting it increases output noise by up to 3× and may cause overshoot during startup. The datasheet explicitly states this capacitor is "strongly recommended" and confirms it does not degrade transient response - a unique advantage over many competing LDOs.
Can LP3999ITLX-1.8/NOPB operate with no load connected to VOUT?
Yes - LP3999ITLX-1.8/NOPB remains stable and maintains regulation with zero load current, as confirmed in the "No-Load Stability" section of the datasheet. This capability is essential for applications like CMOS RAM keep-alive circuits or standby power domains where the output may be disconnected or draw only nanoampere-level leakage. No minimum load resistor is required.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of LP3999ITLX-1.8/NOPB in its DSBGA package?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) for LP3999ITLX-1.8/NOPB in the 5-bump DSBGA (YZR) package is 255°C/W, as specified in the Thermal Properties table. This value assumes standard JEDEC test conditions (JESD51-2); actual θJA in end equipment depends heavily on PCB copper area, via count, and airflow. For continuous 150mA operation at 1.8V output, power dissipation is ~60mW - resulting in ~15°C junction rise above ambient under typical layouts.
Is LP3999ITLX-1.8/NOPB compatible with 1.8V GPIO enable signals?
Yes - LP3999ITLX-1.8/NOPB is fully compatible with 1.8V logic enable signals. Its enable threshold is defined as VIH = 0.9V (minimum) and VIL = 0.4V (maximum), meaning a 1.8V GPIO output (typically 1.7–1.8V high) exceeds the VIH requirement by >2× margin. This ensures robust noise immunity and eliminates need for level-shifting circuitry when interfacing with 1.8V microcontrollers or baseband processors.
