Product details
Overview
LP3999ITLX-2.5/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a low-noise, 150mA LDO voltage regulator in a 5-pin DSBGA package, delivering a fixed 2.5V output with ±2% tolerance (±50mV), 60mV typical dropout at 150mA, and 10µVrms output noise (10Hz–100kHz). It powers RF/analog circuitry in portable wireless devices requiring stable, clean supply rails.
For engineers reviewing the LP3999ITLX-2.5/NOPB datasheet, LP3999ITLX-2.5/NOPB pinout, LP3999ITLX-2.5/NOPB application, or LP3999ITLX-2.5/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its ceramic-capacitor stability (1µF COUT), logic-controlled enable (active-high, 0.9V threshold), fast 140µs turn-on, thermal/short-circuit protection, and −40°C to +125°C junction operation.
Technical Context
The LP3999ITLX-2.5/NOPB employs a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low quiescent current (3nA when disabled) and near-zero dropout sensitivity to load. Its internal bandgap reference connects directly to the CBYPASS pin, where a 0.01µF capacitor suppresses noise without degrading transient response.
Stability is ensured with 1µF ceramic output capacitors (X7R/Y5V/Z5U, 5–500mΩ ESR) and no minimum load requirement. The device operates across 2.5V–6.0V input while maintaining 60dB PSRR at 1kHz and 50dB at 10kHz under 1mA load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5V ±2% (±50mV); ensures precision biasing for RF ICs and analog sensors. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA guaranteed; supports moderate-power RF front-ends and mixed-signal SoCs. |
| Dropout Voltage | 60mV typical at 150mA; enables operation down to VIN = 2.56V, extending battery life in single-cell Li-ion systems. |
| Output Noise | 10µVrms (10Hz–100kHz); minimizes phase noise in VCOs and SNR degradation in ADCs/DACs. |
| Enable Threshold | VIH = 0.9V, VIL = 0.4V; compatible with 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V logic families without level-shifting. |
| Thermal Protection | 160°C shutdown with 20°C hysteresis; prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
| Quiescent Current | 85–150µA active; drops to ≤3nA in shutdown-critical for always-on keep-alive circuits. |
Pinout & Package
LP3999ITLX-2.5/NOPB uses a 5-bump DSBGA package (YZR0005, 1.5mm × 1.5mm, 0.5mm pitch) with non-solder-mask-defined (NSMD) pads. 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 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 internal circuitry; must connect to low-impedance analog ground. |
| C1 (VOUT) | Regulated output | Delivers 2.5V ±2% to load; requires 1µF ceramic capacitor (X7R/Y5V/Z5U) with 5–500mΩ ESR. |
| C3 (VIN) | Input supply | Accepts 2.5V–6.0V; needs local 1µF ceramic bypass within 1cm of pin to ensure stability. |
| A3 (CBYPASS) | Noise reduction node | Connects to high-impedance bandgap reference; 0.01µF NPO/COG capacitor reduces output noise and startup overshoot. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low noise regulation | 10µVrms output noise (10Hz–100kHz) preserves signal integrity in RF receivers and precision analog stages. |
| Ceramic-capacitor stability | Guaranteed stable with 1µF X7R/Y5V/Z5U output capacitor-enables smallest PCB footprint among LDOs in class. |
| Fast 140µs turn-on | Enables rapid power sequencing in multi-rail systems without external delay circuits or soft-start components. |
| Zero-load regulation | Maintains regulation with no external load-supports CMOS RAM keep-alive and standby bias applications. |
| Robust protection suite | Integrated thermal shutdown (160°C), short-circuit current limit (450mA), and over-current foldback prevent field failures. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LP3999ITLX-2.5/NOPB?
The absolute maximum input voltage for LP3999ITLX-2.5/NOPB is 6.5V, but the recommended operating range is 2.5V to 6.0V per the datasheet's Operating Ratings. Exceeding 6.0V may trigger internal protection or degrade long-term reliability, even if below the 6.5V absolute limit. Always maintain VIN ≤6.0V in normal operation for guaranteed performance and lifetime.
Does LP3999ITLX-2.5/NOPB require an external bypass capacitor on the CBYPASS pin?
Yes, LP3999ITLX-2.5/NOPB requires a 0.01µF ceramic capacitor (NPO/COG dielectric preferred) between the CBYPASS pin and GND. This capacitor reduces output noise and prevents overshoot during startup by stabilizing the internal bandgap reference node. Omitting it increases output noise beyond the specified 10µVrms and risks instability in sensitive RF applications.
Can LP3999ITLX-2.5/NOPB operate with no load connected to VOUT?
Yes, LP3999ITLX-2.5/NOPB remains stable and regulated with zero load current-a key feature confirmed in the datasheet's "No-Load Stability" section. This makes LP3999ITLX-2.5/NOPB suitable for CMOS RAM keep-alive circuits and other always-on bias applications where continuous regulation is required even during deep sleep states.
What is the thermal shutdown behavior of LP3999ITLX-2.5/NOPB?
LP3999ITLX-2.5/NOPB activates thermal shutdown at 160°C junction temperature with 20°C hysteresis, meaning it resumes regulation only after cooling to ≤140°C. This protection is internal and automatic-no external circuitry is needed. During shutdown, output is disabled and quiescent current remains near 3nA, preventing thermal runaway while preserving battery charge.
Is LP3999ITLX-2.5/NOPB compatible with 1.0µF X7R ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, LP3999ITLX-2.5/NOPB is explicitly designed and tested for stability with 1.0µF X7R ceramic output capacitors (ESR 5–500mΩ), as stated in the datasheet's "Recommended Output Capacitor" table and "Capacitor Characteristics" section. X7R is preferred over Y5V/Z5U for better temperature stability, maintaining ≥0.7µF capacitance across −40°C to +85°C ambient.
