Product details
Overview
LP5996SD-1525/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a dual-output low-dropout linear regulator IC with independent enable control, delivering 150mA on VOUT1 and 300mA on VOUT2 at fixed output voltages of 1.5V and 2.5V respectively. It operates from 2.0V to 6.0V input, achieves 1.5% room-temperature output accuracy, and draws only 35µA quiescent current when enabled - ideal for space-constrained portable power management in handheld wireless devices.
For engineers reviewing the LP5996SD-1525/NOPB datasheet, LP5996SD-1525/NOPB pinout, LP5996SD-1525/NOPB application, or LP5996SD-1525/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-rail voltage sequencing capability, ultra-low IQ operation under light load, ceramic-capacitor stability down to 1µF, and thermal shutdown protection in the 3mm × 3mm WSON package.
Technical Context
The LP5996SD-1525/NOPB integrates two independent LDO regulators sharing a common VIN and GND, each with dedicated active-high enable pins (EN1/EN2) enabling precise power rail control and zero-current shutdown. Its internal reference bypass pin (CBYP) supports 10nF capacitor connection to reduce output noise and improve PSRR by up to 70dB at 1kHz.
Designed for portable systems, it uses a PMOS pass transistor architecture to achieve low dropout (210mV at 300mA for LDO2), stable operation with 1µF ceramic output capacitors, and no-load regulation - eliminating need for minimum load resistors in standby modes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltages | Fixed 1.5V (VOUT1) and 2.5V (VOUT2); eliminates external feedback network and ensures consistent rail generation without trimming. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA on LDO1, 300mA on LDO2; supports mixed-signal SoC core and I/O domain powering from single IC. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.0V to 6.0V; compatible with single-cell Li-ion, Li-polymer, or 3.3V/5V system rails. |
| Quiescent Current | 35µA (both LDOs enabled); enables >1-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes with periodic wake-up. |
| Dropout Voltage | 210mV at 300mA (LDO2); allows 2.5V output from 2.71V input - critical for brownout margin in battery-powered designs. |
| Accuracy | ±1.5% at 25°C, ±3% over −40°C to +125°C junction; meets tight tolerance requirements for ADC references and RF bias rails. |
| PSRR | 70dB at 1kHz (LDO2, CBYP = 10nF); suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
Pinout & Package
LP5996SD-1525/NOPB is housed in a 10-pin WSON (SON-10) package, 3mm × 3mm, 0.5mm pitch, with exposed thermal pad (GND-connected). The package is RoHS-compliant, green (Pb-free, no Sb/Br), and moisture-sensitive level 1 (260°C peak reflow).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input supply rail | Accepts 2.0–6.0V; requires ≥1µF ceramic decoupling to GND within 1cm for stability. |
| EN1 | LDO1 enable input | Active-high logic control (VIH ≥ 0.95V); pulls LDO1 output to high-impedance when low, drawing <10nA. |
| EN2 | LDO2 enable input | Independent active-high control for second regulator; enables staggered power-up or dynamic rail disable. |
| CBYP | Reference bypass | Connects to 10nF NPO/COG capacitor to reduce reference noise and improve PSRR/transient response. |
| GND | Ground reference | Pins 6 and exposed pad both connect to system ground; pad must be soldered for thermal and electrical performance. |
| VOUT2 | LDO2 output | Delivers fixed 2.5V at up to 300mA; requires ≥1µF ceramic output capacitor with ESR 5–500mΩ. |
| VOUT1 | LDO1 output | Delivers fixed 1.5V at up to 150mA; supports low-voltage digital cores or analog subsystems. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent LDOs | Enables separate power domains (e.g., 1.5V core + 2.5V I/O) with individual ON/OFF control and no cross-talk. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 35µA total (both LDOs enabled); reduces standby power loss in battery-backed real-time clocks or sensors. |
| Ceramic-capacitor stability | Stable with 1µF X7R/Y5V/Z5U output caps; eliminates need for larger, costlier tantalum or electrolytic capacitors. |
| Thermal shutdown protection | Triggers at 160°C junction temperature with 20°C hysteresis; prevents permanent damage during overload or poor PCB heatsinking. |
| No-load regulation | Maintains output voltage accuracy even with zero load current - essential for memory backup or always-on monitoring circuits. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLC7701QD | Single 1.5V LDO (150mA), no second output; higher IQ (80µA); requires external resistor for adjustable output. | Cannot replace dual-rail functionality; suitable only if 2.5V rail is sourced elsewhere. | Select only when system already provides 2.5V or uses discrete LDO for second rail. |
| TPS79915-25 | Dual-channel, but fixed 1.5V/2.5V outputs in 6-pin DSBGA; lower max current (200mA per channel); no CBYP pin. | Lacks reference bypass for noise-sensitive RF apps; smaller package limits thermal handling at full load. | Prefer for ultra-compact layouts where PSRR >65dB and thermal margin >15°C are acceptable. |
Compared with TLC7701QD and TPS79915-25, the LP5996SD-1525/NOPB uniquely delivers independent enable control, 300mA capability on the 2.5V rail, and CBYP-based noise reduction - making it the only option supporting simultaneous high-current + low-noise dual-rail operation in a single 3mm × 3mm WSON package.

FAQ
What are the fixed output voltages of the LP5996SD-1525/NOPB?
The LP5996SD-1525/NOPB provides two fixed output voltages: 1.5V on VOUT1 (150mA max) and 2.5V on VOUT2 (300mA max). These values are laser-trimmed during manufacturing and require no external feedback components. The "1525" in the part number explicitly denotes this 1.5V/2.5V configuration, and the LP5996SD-1525/NOPB datasheet confirms these outputs are not adjustable.
Does the LP5996SD-1525/NOPB require external capacitors, and what values are recommended?
Yes, the LP5996SD-1525/NOPB requires an input capacitor (≥1µF ceramic), two output capacitors (≥1µF ceramic per VOUT1/VOUT2), and optionally a 10nF NPO/COG capacitor on CBYP. The LP5996SD-1525/NOPB is optimized for ceramic capacitors with ESR between 5mΩ and 500mΩ; X7R is recommended for wide-temperature stability, though Y5V and Z5U are acceptable in less demanding environments.
How does the enable functionality work on the LP5996SD-1525/NOPB?
The LP5996SD-1525/NOPB features two independent active-high enable inputs: EN1 controls VOUT1 (1.5V), and EN2 controls VOUT2 (2.5V). When either pin is pulled below 0.4V, its corresponding LDO shuts down and draws <10nA. When pulled above 0.95V, the LDO turns on. This allows flexible power sequencing - for example, enabling VOUT1 before VOUT2 - and zero-quiescent-current standby for unused rails.
What thermal protection features does the LP5996SD-1525/NOPB include?
The LP5996SD-1525/NOPB incorporates internal thermal shutdown that activates at 160°C junction temperature, with 20°C hysteresis to prevent oscillation. This protection is fully integrated and requires no external circuitry. The LP5996SD-1525/NOPB's 55°C/W θJA (SON-10 package) means sustained 300mA output at 2.5V with 3.7V input can raise junction temperature significantly - proper PCB copper pour under the exposed pad is essential for reliable operation.
Is the LP5996SD-1525/NOPB compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, the LP5996SD-1525/NOPB is RoHS-compliant and qualified for lead-free reflow with a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of 1 (unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH) and peak reflow temperature of 260°C. Its "/NOPB" suffix confirms green (Pb-free, no Sb/Br) construction, and TI's packaging documentation specifies CU SN lead finish and JEDEC-compliant WSON-10 (DSC) package dimensions for automated assembly compatibility.
