Product details
Overview
LP5951MG-2.8 from Texas Instruments is a micropower, 150-mA low-dropout CMOS voltage regulator in SC70-5 package, delivering a fixed 2.8 V output with 250 mV dropout at 150 mA, 29 µA quiescent current, and ±2 mV line transient response. It serves as a precision power rail for battery-powered microcontrollers, RF transceivers, and sensor signal chains where low noise and fast enable control are critical.
For engineers reviewing the LP5951MG-2.8 datasheet, LP5951MG-2.8 pinout, LP5951MG-2.8 application, or LP5951MG-2.8 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.8 V fixed output, SC70-5 footprint compatibility, 30 µs turnon time, shutdown leakage <1 nA, and stability with 1-µF ceramic capacitors - all validated across –40°C to 125°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The LP5951MG-2.8 integrates a PMOS pass device with internal bias generator and thermal/overcurrent protection. Its architecture enables no-load stability and reverse-current blocking via the inherent body diode, with active discharge during shutdown to prevent output voltage hold-up.
Enable control uses logic-high activation (VIH = 0.9 V) and features fast turnon (30 µs typ.) and turnoff via internal FET discharge. PSRR reaches –60 dB at 1 kHz, and output noise is 125 µVRMS (10 Hz–100 kHz), supporting noise-sensitive analog and RF loads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.8 V ±3.5% over –40°C to +125°C; ensures stable core voltage for 2.8 V I/O domains. |
| Max Output Current | 150 mA continuous; supports single-core MCUs, BLE SoCs, and low-power ADCs without derating at TA ≤85°C. |
| Dropout Voltage | 250 mV at 150 mA (VOUT ≥2.5 V); allows operation down to VIN = 3.05 V, extending battery runtime in 3.3 V Li-ion systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 29 µA typical at no load; enables >1-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes using CR2032 cells. |
| PSRR | –60 dB at 1 kHz; suppresses switching noise from DC/DC converters feeding the LP5951MG-2.8 input rail. |
| Enable Threshold | VIH = 0.9 V, VIL = 0.4 V; compatible with 1.8 V and 3.3 V GPIOs without level-shifting. |
| Shutdown Current | <1 nA typical; eliminates standby drain in wake-on-event architectures. |
Pinout & Package
LP5951MG-2.8 is housed in a 2.00 mm × 1.25 mm SC70-5 package with 0.65 mm pitch, optimized for space-constrained portable PCBs. Thermal resistance RθJA = 276.7°C/W enables 125°C operation with minimal copper area.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - IN | Input voltage supply | Accepts 1.8 V–5.5 V; requires local 1-µF ceramic capacitor within 1 cm for stability. |
| 2 - GND | Power ground reference | Must connect to clean analog ground plane; shared return path for IN and OUT capacitors. |
| 3 - EN | Logic-enable input | Active-high control: ≥0.9 V enables regulation; ≤0.4 V forces shutdown with <1 nA IQ. |
| 4 - NC | No internal connection | Not bonded; must remain unconnected and unstubbed to avoid parasitic coupling. |
| 5 - OUT | Regulated output | Delivers 2.8 V ±3.5%; requires 1-µF X7R ceramic capacitor with ESR 3–300 mΩ placed adjacent to pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-load stability | Maintains regulation with zero output current - essential for RAM keep-alive and ultra-low-power sleep modes. |
| Fast enable turnon | 30 µs output ramp time enables rapid wake-from-sleep in sub-100 µs system recovery sequences. |
| Thermal shutdown | Activates at TJ = 160°C (typ.) with 20°C hysteresis, preventing permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Reverse current blocking | Body diode limits reverse current to ≤50 mA; external Schottky required only if VOUT > VIN exceeds this threshold. |
| Small-footprint compatibility | Stable with 1-µF ceramic output capacitors - eliminates need for larger, costlier tantalum or electrolytic types. |
Applications
| Wearable Health Monitor | Industrial Wireless Sensor Node |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Continuous ECG signal acquisition powered by coin-cell battery with periodic BLE transmission. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary 2.8 V LDO supplying ADC, op-amps, and BLE radio; enables fast wake/sleep cycling via EN pin.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-dropout regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPL720F12-DBVR | Fixed 1.2 V output; 200 mA rating; 170 mV dropout at 200 mA; 25 µA IQ. | Designed for core voltage of low-voltage logic; not suitable for 2.8 V I/O rails. | Select only when 1.2 V output and higher current are required; not a functional replacement for LP5951MG-2.8. |
| MCP1700T-2802E/TT | Fixed 2.8 V; SOT-23-3 package; 250 mA rating; 600 mV dropout at 250 mA; 1.6 µA IQ. | Lacks enable pin and thermal shutdown; higher dropout reduces usable battery range. | Use where ultra-low IQ dominates design priority and enable/shutdown is unnecessary; requires layout change due to 3-pin vs. 5-pin footprint. |
Compared with TPL720F12-DBVR and MCP1700T-2802E/TT, the LP5951MG-2.8 uniquely balances 2.8 V output accuracy, integrated enable control, thermal protection, and SC70-5 size - making it optimal for compact, battery-critical systems requiring regulated 2.8 V with full safety features.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for the LP5951MG-2.8?
The LP5951MG-2.8 supports an absolute maximum input voltage of 6.5 V on the IN pin, but its recommended operating range is 1.8 V to 5.5 V. Operation above 5.5 V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings, and the device does not regulate below 1.8 V input regardless of output voltage setting.
Does the LP5951MG-2.8 require an external pull-up resistor on the EN pin?
No, the LP5951MG-2.8 does not require an external pull-up on the EN pin. When enable functionality is unused, TI recommends tying EN directly to VIN to ensure reliable turn-on. Leaving EN floating is prohibited - it may cause erratic regulation or increased quiescent current due to undefined logic state.
Can the LP5951MG-2.8 be used with a 0402-size 1-µF ceramic capacitor?
Yes, the LP5951MG-2.8 is designed to work with 1-µF ceramic capacitors including 0402 case sizes, provided the capacitor maintains ≥0.7 µF capacitance under DC bias and temperature extremes. Per TI's application notes, X5R/X7R dielectrics are preferred; verify manufacturer datasheets for bias derating curves before final selection.
What happens if the output voltage of the LP5951MG-2.8 is forced above the input voltage?
If VOUT exceeds VIN, the LP5951MG-2.8's internal PMOS body diode becomes forward-biased, allowing reverse current up to 50 mA. Beyond that, external protection (e.g., Schottky from VOUT to VIN) is required to prevent damage. This condition commonly occurs during hot-swap or backup power transitions.
Is the LP5951MG-2.8 RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, the LP5951MG-2.8 is RoHS-compliant and halogen-free per Texas Instruments' official packaging and environmental documentation. The SC70-5 package (DCK) uses lead-free matte tin plating and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1) for unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/85% RH.
