Product details
Overview
LP5990TMX-2.8/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a micropower 200mA CMOS low-dropout voltage regulator delivering a fixed 2.8V output with ±1% accuracy over −40°C to +125°C, 160mV dropout at 200mA, and 60 μVRMS output noise - designed for space-constrained portable systems including cellular handsets and handheld information appliances.
For engineers reviewing the LP5990TMX-2.8/NOPB datasheet, LP5990TMX-2.8/NOPB pinout, LP5990TMX-2.8/NOPB application, or LP5990TMX-2.8/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low quiescent current (30 μA enabled / 10 nA disabled), stability with 0402 1.0 µF ceramic capacitors, and DSBGA package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LP5990TMX-2.8/NOPB employs a CMOS pass transistor architecture enabling operation from 2.2V to 5.5V input while maintaining regulation down to 160mV headroom at full 200mA load. Its push-pull enable circuitry achieves 500μs shutdown time and 60μs startup time, supporting rapid power-state transitions in battery-powered devices.
Designed specifically for stability with miniature 0402-case 1.0µF ceramic capacitors (ESR 5–500 mΩ), the device integrates thermal overload and short-circuit protection, and features logic-controlled enable with VIL ≤0.35V and VIH ≥1.0V thresholds - eliminating need for external level-shifting circuitry in standard GPIO interfacing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.8V ±1% over −40°C to +125°C junction temperature - ensures stable core/peripheral rail in thermally varying portable environments. |
| Max Output Current | 200mA continuous - sufficient for powering RF transceivers, microcontroller cores, or sensor subsystems in compact handheld devices. |
| Dropout Voltage | 160mV at 200mA load - enables regulation from 2.96V input, extending battery runtime in single-cell Li-ion (2.8–4.2V) applications. |
| Quiescent Current | 30 μA (enabled), 10 nA (disabled) - minimizes standby leakage, critical for multi-week battery life in always-on sensing nodes. |
| Output Noise | 85 μVRMS (BW = 10 Hz–100 kHz, VOUT = 2.8V) - low enough for noise-sensitive analog circuits like ADC references or RF LDO stages. |
| PSRR | 55 dB at 10 kHz - suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC/DC converters, improving signal integrity in mixed-signal SoC power domains. |
| Capacitor Support | Stable with 0402 1.0 µF X7R/X5R ceramics (ESR 5–500 mΩ) - reduces total solution size to <2.5 mm², meeting stringent board area constraints. |
Pinout & Package
LP5990TMX-2.8/NOPB uses a 4-bump DSBGA package (YFQ0004CEA), 0.4 mm pitch, 866 µm × 917 µm footprint, lead-free, moisture sensitivity level 1 (260°C peak reflow). The package is light-sensitive; direct exposure to red/IR sources must be avoided during operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2.2V–5.5V; requires local 1.0 µF ceramic capacitor within 1 cm of pin to minimize input inductance and ensure stability. |
| VOUT | Regulated output | Delivers fixed 2.8V; connects directly to load; requires 1.0 µF ceramic capacitor (X7R/X5R, ESR 5–500 mΩ) placed within 1 cm for transient response and stability. |
| VEN | Logic-enable input | Active-high control: ≥1.0V enables regulator; ≤0.35V disables it, reducing IQ to 10 nA; internal 3 MΩ pull-down eliminates need for external resistor. |
| GND | Power ground reference | Common return path for VIN, VOUT, and VEN; must connect to low-impedance analog ground plane to maintain PSRR and noise performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Micropower operation | 30 μA quiescent current enables >1-year battery life in 200mAh coin-cell applications with intermittent 200mA bursts. |
| Ultra-small capacitor support | Guaranteed stability with 0402 1.0 µF ceramics - eliminates need for larger 0603/0805 caps, saving >0.6 mm² board area per regulator. |
| Fast transient response | ±50 mV load step deviation (1 mA ↔ 200 mA in 1 μs) and 4 mV line transient - maintains clean supply during processor wake/sleep transitions. |
| Integrated protection | Thermal shutdown (160°C trigger, 20°C hysteresis) and short-circuit current limit (600 mA typical) prevent damage during fault conditions without external components. |
| No-load stability | Remains in regulation with zero load current - supports always-on monitoring circuits without requiring minimum load resistors. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LP5990TMX-2.8/NOPB?
The LP5990TMX-2.8/NOPB has an absolute maximum input voltage (VIN) rating of 6.0V. However, its specified operating input voltage range is 2.2V to 5.5V. Exceeding 5.5V may cause functional degradation or damage, even if below the 6.0V absolute maximum limit. Always operate within the 2.2V–5.5V range for guaranteed performance and reliability of the LP5990TMX-2.8/NOPB.
Does the LP5990TMX-2.8/NOPB require an external pull-up resistor on the VEN pin?
No, the LP5990TMX-2.8/NOPB does not require an external pull-up resistor on the VEN pin. It includes an internal 3 MΩ resistor from VEN to GND, ensuring reliable disable state when left floating. If permanent enable is desired, tie VEN directly to VIN; for GPIO control, drive VEN to ≥1.0V (enable) or ≤0.35V (disable) - no external components are needed for basic operation of the LP5990TMX-2.8/NOPB.
Can the LP5990TMX-2.8/NOPB be used with Y5V or Z5U ceramic capacitors?
The LP5990TMX-2.8/NOPB is not recommended for use with Y5V or Z5U ceramic capacitors. These dielectrics exhibit severe capacitance loss (>50%) over temperature and DC bias, potentially dropping below the 0.3 µF minimum required for stability. X7R or X5R dielectrics are specified - they maintain ≥85% of nominal capacitance across −40°C to +85°C and typical bias conditions, ensuring reliable regulation and transient response for the LP5990TMX-2.8/NOPB.
What is the thermal shutdown behavior of the LP5990TMX-2.8/NOPB?
The LP5990TMX-2.8/NOPB activates thermal shutdown at a junction temperature of 160°C and includes 20°C hysteresis, meaning it resumes normal operation only after cooling to ≤140°C. During shutdown, output is disabled and quiescent current drops to near-zero. This protection is fully integrated - no external circuitry is required. Thermal shutdown safeguards the LP5990TMX-2.8/NOPB during sustained high-power-dissipation conditions, such as high load current combined with elevated ambient temperature or poor PCB thermal design.
Is the LP5990TMX-2.8/NOPB compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, the LP5990TMX-2.8/NOPB is fully compatible with lead-free reflow processes. It carries an MSL Level-1 rating (unlimited floor life) and is qualified for peak reflow temperatures up to 260°C, matching JEDEC J-STD-020 requirements. The device uses SNAGCU (tin-silver-copper) ball finish and is RoHS-compliant. Standard lead-free reflow profiles - including ramp-to-spike and soak profiles - may be applied without risk to solder joint integrity or electrical performance of the LP5990TMX-2.8/NOPB.
