Product details
Overview
LP5952TLX-1.2/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a dual-rail linear regulator designed for ultralow-voltage post-regulation in battery-powered systems, delivering 1.2 V at up to 350 mA from separate VIN (0.7–4.5 V) and VBATT (2.5–5.5 V) rails. It features 100 µVRMS output noise, ±15 mV load transient response, and 0.1 µA shutdown current - enabling stable power for core logic in mobile phones and handheld radios.
For engineers reviewing the LP5952TLX-1.2/NOPB datasheet, LP5952TLX-1.2/NOPB pinout, LP5952TLX-1.2/NOPB application, or LP5952TLX-1.2/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-supply sequencing compliance (VIN ≤ VBATT), dropout voltage under 250 mV at 350 mA, thermal shutdown at 165°C, and DSBGA/USON package compatibility with space-constrained portable designs.
Technical Context
The LP5952TLX-1.2/NOPB implements a dual-bias architecture: VBATT powers internal circuitry (2.5–5.5 V), while VIN supplies the NFET pass device (0.7–4.5 V), with strict VIN ≤ VBATT enforcement to prevent latch-up. Its feedback loop maintains 1.2 V output with ±2% tolerance across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature.
Transient performance is optimized via fast-startup design (70–150 µs enable-to-95%-VOUT) and integrated protection: thermal shutdown (165°C trip, 20°C hysteresis), short-circuit current limiting, and reverse-current path management via the NFET's body diode (50 mA max forward conduction).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.2 V ±2% - ensures precise core voltage for low-power microcontrollers and RF ICs without external feedback components. |
| Max Output Current | 350 mA - supports moderate digital loads such as baseband processors or sensor hubs in handheld devices. |
| VIN Range | 0.7 V to 4.5 V - enables use after buck converters or LDO pre-regulators in multi-stage power architectures. |
| VBATT Range | 2.5 V to 5.5 V - directly interfaces single Li-Ion (2.7–4.2 V) or 3-cell NiMH/NiCd (3.6–4.5 V) batteries. |
| Quiescent Current (VBATT) | 50 µA typical - minimizes standby drain in always-on subsystems like real-time clocks or wake-up controllers. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.1 µA typical - extends battery life during deep-sleep modes in portable instrumentation. |
| Output Noise | 100 µVRMS (10 Hz–100 kHz) - meets stringent noise requirements for analog signal chains and ADC reference supplies. |
| Load Transient Response | ±15 mV peak deviation - maintains regulation during rapid current steps (e.g., GSM transmit bursts or CPU wake-up). |
Pinout & Package
LP5952TLX-1.2/NOPB is available in a 5-pin DSBGA (YZR) package measuring 1.326 mm × 0.96 mm, optimized for ultra-compact portable PCB layouts. Pin functions are validated per TI SNVS469F Rev F.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BATT (Pin 1) | Bias supply input | Provides power to internal control circuitry; must be ≥ VIN and within 2.5–5.5 V; no external capacitor required if <5 cm from source. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Analog/digital ground reference | Common return path for both bias and output circuits; requires low-impedance connection to system ground plane. |
| IN (Pin 3) | Main power input to pass device | Drives NFET pass transistor; voltage range 0.7–4.5 V; must never exceed BATT voltage to avoid damage. |
| OUT (Pin 4) | Regulated output | Delivers fixed 1.2 V; requires 2.2 µF ceramic output capacitor (X7R, ≤300 mΩ ESR) for stability. |
| EN (Pin 6) | Enable logic input | Active-high control: VIH ≥1 V enables regulation; VIL ≤0.4 V disables output and reduces IQ to 0.1 µA. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-rail supply architecture | Separates bias (VBATT) and power (VIN) paths to enable operation from ultralow VIN while maintaining robust internal logic. |
| No-load stability | Maintains regulation with zero output current - critical for CMOS RAM keep-alive and always-on monitoring circuits. |
| Fast startup time | 70–150 µs from EN assertion to 95% VOUT - supports rapid system wake-up without excessive inrush (120 mA typical). |
| Thermal overload protection | Shuts down at 165°C (typical) with 20°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overloads or poor heatsinking. |
| Reverse current management | Allows up to 50 mA reverse conduction through NFET body diode; external Schottky required beyond that limit. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-rail LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPL7407LPGEDR | Single-rail input (2.7–5.5 V); no VBATT pin; 250 mA max; 150 µVRMS noise | Lacks dual-rail flexibility; cannot interface directly with sub-1 V DC-DC outputs | Select only when system uses single-input architecture and load ≤250 mA |
| TPS7A2012PDBVR | Single-input LDO (1.6–6.0 V); 300 mA; 12 µVRMS noise; no thermal shutdown hysteresis spec | No VBATT bias rail; lower noise but no support for ultralow-VIN post-regulation | Prefer for ultra-low-noise analog rails where VIN ≥1.6 V and dual-rail sequencing is unnecessary |
Compared with TPL7407LPGEDR and TPS7A2012PDBVR, LP5952TLX-1.2/NOPB uniquely supports VIN as low as 0.7 V while maintaining full 350 mA capability and integrated thermal hysteresis - making it the only option for post-regulating buck converter outputs in space-constrained Li-Ion systems.

FAQ
What is the absolute maximum voltage difference allowed between VBATT and VIN on LP5952TLX-1.2/NOPB?
The LP5952TLX-1.2/NOPB datasheet specifies that VIN must never exceed VBATT. The absolute maximum rating states "VBATT pin to IN pin: 0.2 V" - meaning VIN may be up to 0.2 V below VBATT, but any positive differential violates Absolute Maximum Ratings and risks permanent damage. This constraint is fundamental to the dual-rail architecture and must be enforced in layout and power sequencing.
Can LP5952TLX-1.2/NOPB operate with zero load current while maintaining regulation?
Yes. LP5952TLX-1.2/NOPB is explicitly characterized for no-load stability in Section 7.3.2 ("No-Load Stability") of the datasheet. It remains in regulation with 0 mA output current across the full temperature range (–40°C to +125°C), making it suitable for applications like CMOS RAM keep-alive circuits where continuous bias is required without load.
What is the recommended output capacitor for LP5952TLX-1.2/NOPB and why is ESR important?
The datasheet recommends a 2.2 µF X7R ceramic capacitor with ESR between 3 mΩ and 300 mΩ. ESR impacts phase margin and transient response: too low (<3 mΩ) can cause instability in some layouts; too high (>300 mΩ) degrades load step recovery. The LP5952TLX-1.2/NOPB's internal compensation is optimized for this ESR range to ensure stability across temperature and DC bias.
How does thermal shutdown behave on LP5952TLX-1.2/NOPB during sustained overload?
LP5952TLX-1.2/NOPB triggers thermal shutdown at 165°C (typical) and re-enables only after junction temperature falls by ~20°C (hysteresis). During continuous overload, this results in pulsed output voltage - not latched-off behavior. This cycling protects the die while allowing limited functionality during fault conditions, unlike latch-off protectors that require manual reset.
Is LP5952TLX-1.2/NOPB pin-compatible with other variants in the LP5952 family?
Yes. All LP5952 variants - including LP5952TLX-1.2/NOPB, LP5952TLX-1.5/NOPB, and LP5952TLX-1.8/NOPB - share identical 5-pin DSBGA (YZR) and 6-pin USON (NKH) footprints and pinouts. Only the output voltage differs; no PCB redesign is needed when changing fixed-output versions within the same package.
