Product details
Overview
MP8801DJ-2.85-LF-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is a fixed-output, low-noise, low-dropout linear regulator delivering 2.85V at up to 150mA with ±2% accuracy over –40°C to +85°C. It operates from 2.7V–6.5V input, features 125μA ground current, 70dB PSRR at 1kHz, and 150mV dropout at 150mA - optimized for noise-sensitive RF and audio power rails in mobile handsets and 802.11 PC Cards.
For engineers reviewing the MP8801DJ-2.85-LF-Z datasheet, MP8801DJ-2.85-LF-Z pinout, MP8801DJ-2.85-LF-Z application, or MP8801DJ-2.85-LF-Z equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping (TSOT23-5), confirmed pin functions (IN/EN/GND/FB/OUT), thermal shutdown behavior, PSRR performance at 1kHz/1MHz, and design-meaningful load regulation (0.001%/mA).
Technical Context
The MP8801DJ-2.85-LF-Z uses a PMOS pass element enabling low dropout and high PSRR. Its internal 2.85V reference is set by a precision resistor divider; the FB pin allows conversion to adjustable output (1.25V–5V) via external R1/R2 with 1.222V feedback threshold.
Thermal shutdown activates at 155°C with 30°C hysteresis, and stability is ensured with ≥1μF ceramic capacitors on IN and OUT. Ground current remains stable across load (125–150μA), and line regulation is specified at 0.005%/V under VIN = VOUT + 0.5V to 6.5V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.85V ±2% (–40°C to +85°C); enables direct replacement of 2.85V logic or analog supply rails without external resistors. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA continuous; supports power delivery to single-channel audio codecs, PLL VCOs, or low-power microcontrollers. |
| Dropout Voltage | 150mV at 150mA (VOUT = 3V); ensures regulation down to VIN = 3.0V, critical for battery-powered systems near end-of-discharge. |
| PSRR | 70dB @ 1kHz, 30dB @ 1MHz; suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC/DC converters feeding sensitive RF/analog circuitry. |
| Ground Current | 125μA typical (1mA–150mA load); minimizes quiescent power loss in always-on subsystems like real-time clocks or sensor biasing. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 6.5V; compatible with single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V), USB 5V, and regulated 3.3V/5V system rails. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Triggers at 155°C with 30°C hysteresis; prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
MP8801DJ-2.85-LF-Z is housed in a TSOT23-5 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 0.9mm), with exposed thermal pad connected to GND for enhanced heat dissipation. The 5-pin configuration supports compact layout and efficient bypass capacitor placement.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 IN | Input power supply | Primary power source for regulator core and pass transistor; requires ≥1μF ceramic bypass to GND for stability and transient suppression. |
| 2 GND | Power ground reference | Common return path for IN, OUT, EN, and FB; must be low-impedance and thermally coupled to PCB copper pour for thermal management. |
| 3 EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic interface (VIH ≥ 1.5V); connects to MCU GPIO or system power sequencer to control regulator startup/shutdown. |
| 4 FB | Feedback voltage sense | Monitors output via internal 1.222V reference; open for fixed 2.85V operation; connects to external divider for adjustable output. |
| 5 OUT | Regulated output | Delivers clean 2.85V to load; requires ≥1μF ceramic capacitor to GND for loop stability and noise filtering. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-noise operation | 300nV/√Hz output voltage noise at 1kHz enables clean power for VCOs and microphone preamps without added filtering. |
| High PSRR architecture | 70dB rejection at 1kHz reduces coupling of digital switching noise into analog signal chains, improving SNR in mixed-signal ICs. |
| Adjustable output option | FB pin supports 1.25V–5V output via external resistor divider (R1/R2), allowing reuse across multiple voltage rails with one BOM item. |
| Stability with low-ESR caps | Operates stably with standard X5R/X7R ceramic capacitors (1–10μF), eliminating need for costly tantalum or polymer alternatives. |
| Ultra-low ground current | 125μA typical quiescent current maintains efficiency in battery-backed or energy-harvesting applications with light loads. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for MP8801DJ-2.85-LF-Z to regulate at full 150mA load?
The device requires VIN ≥ VOUT + dropout voltage. At 150mA, dropout is 150mV (per datasheet, VOUT = 3V condition). For 2.85V output, minimum VIN is 3.0V. However, absolute minimum operating VIN is 2.7V - regulation is maintained down to that level at lighter loads.
Can MP8801DJ-2.85-LF-Z be used in adjustable mode, and what is the feedback reference voltage?
Yes - the FB pin accepts an external resistor divider to set output from 1.25V to 5V. The internal feedback reference voltage is precisely 1.222V (typical), with ±0.025V variation across temperature. R1 and R2 values must satisfy VOUT = 1.222 × (1 + R1/R2).
Is a feed-forward capacitor required for stable operation with the MP8801DJ-2.85-LF-Z?
No - the device is stable with standard 1μF ceramic capacitors on IN and OUT. A feed-forward capacitor (e.g., 100nF across R1) is optional and improves transient response only in adjustable configurations; it is unnecessary for fixed 2.85V operation.
What thermal derating applies when using MP8801DJ-2.85-LF-Z on a 2-layer PCB without thermal vias?
On a 2-layer board without thermal vias, θJA rises significantly above the datasheet's 220°C/W (measured on 4-layer JEDEC board). Derated power dissipation should assume ≥300°C/W, limiting continuous 150mA operation to VIN ≤ 4.5V at TA = 25°C to avoid thermal shutdown.
Does MP8801DJ-2.85-LF-Z support reverse polarity protection or input overvoltage clamping?
No - the device lacks integrated reverse-polarity or overvoltage protection. Absolute maximum IN voltage is +7V; exceeding this risks permanent damage. External protection (e.g., series Schottky diode, TVS) must be added if system-level fault conditions exist.
How does shutdown current behave when EN is pulled low, and what is the EN input leakage?
When EN is pulled below 0.4V, shutdown current is 0.1–1μA (typical 0.5μA) at VIN = 5V. EN input bias current is 0.01–1μA, ensuring compatibility with weak-drive GPIOs and minimizing current draw in system sleep states.
Are the top markings "C1" and "LF-Z" sufficient to confirm RoHS compliance and date code for MP8801DJ-2.85-LF-Z?
Yes - "C1" is the factory-assigned top marking for MP8801DJ-2.85 variants; "LF-Z" suffix confirms lead-free, halogen-free, RoHS-compliant tape-and-reel packaging. Year/week codes follow C1 (e.g., "2345" = 2023, week 45), per MPS marking convention.
