Product details
Overview
MP8802DJ-2.5-LF-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is a fixed-output, low-noise, low-dropout linear regulator delivering 2.5V ±2% at up to 250mA load current with 250mV dropout at full load, 70dB PSRR at 1kHz, and 125μA ground current. It operates from 2.7V to 6.5V input and integrates thermal shutdown protection in a TSOT23-5 package-designed for noise-sensitive RF and audio power rails in mobile handsets and 802.11 PC cards.
For engineers reviewing the MP8802DJ-2.5-LF-Z datasheet, MP8802DJ-2.5-LF-Z pinout, MP8802DJ-2.5-LF-Z application, or MP8802DJ-2.5-LF-Z equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage under 250mA load, PSRR performance at 1MHz and 1kHz, thermal shutdown threshold (155°C), FB reference accuracy (1.222V), and compatibility with low-ESR ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The MP8802DJ-2.5-LF-Z uses a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout and high PSRR without requiring external compensation. Its internal 1.222V bandgap reference feeds a precision feedback loop that maintains ±2% output accuracy across –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature.
Thermal protection activates at 155°C junction temperature with 30°C hysteresis, and the EN pin supports controlled startup by direct connection to IN or external logic-level enable. The device remains stable with ≥2.2μF low-ESR ceramic output capacitance and requires no feed-forward capacitor for basic operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5V ±2% - ensures stable bias for PLL VCOs and audio codec analog sections without external resistor network. |
| Max Load Current | 250mA - sufficient for powering single-channel audio codecs or low-power RF synthesizers. |
| Dropout Voltage | 250mV at 250mA - enables regulation from 2.75V input when output is 2.5V, critical for battery-powered systems near end-of-discharge. |
| PSRR | 70dB at 1kHz / 30dB at 1MHz - suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC/DC converters feeding sensitive analog circuitry. |
| Ground Current | 125μA typical - minimizes quiescent power loss in always-on subsystems like microphone bias rails. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 6.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V), USB 5V, and regulated 3.3V supply domains. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 155°C with 30°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
The MP8802DJ-2.5-LF-Z is housed in a 5-pin TSOT23-5 package (JEDEC MO-193) with 0.95mm body height, 1.6mm × 2.9mm footprint, and exposed thermal pad not connected internally. Pin 1 is IN, Pin 2 is GND, Pin 3 is EN, Pin 4 is FB, and Pin 5 is OUT.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Power Input | Supplies internal circuitry and pass transistor; must be bypassed with ≥1μF ceramic capacitor close to pin. |
| 2 (GND) | Reference Ground | Common return path for all internal circuits; connects to system ground plane for thermal and noise control. |
| 3 (EN) | Enable Control | Active-high logic input; tie to IN for automatic startup or drive externally for sequencing control. |
| 4 (FB) | Feedback Reference | Senses output via internal 1.222V reference; unused in fixed-output variants but retained for pin compatibility. |
| 5 (OUT) | Regulated Output | Delivers clean 2.5V; requires ≥2.2μF low-ESR ceramic capacitor directly at pin for stability and transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-noise regulation | 300nV/√Hz output noise density at 1kHz enables clean power for VCOs and microphone preamps. |
| High PSRR architecture | PMOS pass element and optimized error amplifier deliver 70dB rejection at 1kHz without external components. |
| Thermal robustness | Integrated thermal shutdown with hysteresis protects against sustained overloads and inadequate heatsinking. |
| Load regulation precision | Better than 0.001%/mA ensures minimal output shift across full 250mA load range-critical for ADC reference supplies. |
| Low-ESR capacitor support | Stable with ceramic capacitors ≥2.2μF eliminates need for costly tantalum or polymer alternatives. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-noise LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6206P252MR | 250mA max, 2.5V fixed, 350mV dropout at 250mA, 60dB PSRR @ 1kHz, no EN pin | Lacks enable control and thermal shutdown; limited to simpler always-on bias rails | Select when board space is constrained and enable sequencing is unnecessary. |
| Diodes Inc. AP2204K-2.5TRG1 | 250mA max, 2.5V fixed, 400mV dropout at 250mA, 55dB PSRR @ 1kHz, 180μA ground current | Higher dropout and ground current reduce efficiency and thermal margin in battery-critical designs | Prefer only if MPS supply chain constraints require second-source qualification. |
Compared with XC6206P252MR and AP2204K-2.5TRG1, the MP8802DJ-2.5-LF-Z delivers superior PSRR (70dB vs ≤60dB), lower dropout (250mV vs ≥350mV), and integrated thermal protection-making it optimal for thermally constrained, noise-sensitive RF/audio subsystems where reliability and signal integrity are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for MP8802DJ-2.5-LF-Z to maintain regulation?
The MP8802DJ-2.5-LF-Z requires a minimum input voltage of 2.75V to sustain 2.5V output at 250mA load, based on its 250mV dropout specification. Below this, output voltage drops linearly with input; operation below 2.7V is outside guaranteed specifications per datasheet Section "Recommended Operating Conditions".
Can MP8802DJ-2.5-LF-Z be used with an adjustable output configuration?
No-the MP8802DJ-2.5-LF-Z is a factory-trimmed fixed-output variant with internal resistor divider set for 2.5V. While the FB pin exists for pin compatibility, it is not functional for adjustment; use MP8802DJ-ADJ for adjustable configurations requiring external resistors.
Is a feed-forward capacitor required between FB and OUT for stability?
No-stability is guaranteed with ≥2.2μF ceramic output capacitance and no feed-forward capacitor. The datasheet notes CBYP as optional for improved transient response in demanding loads, not for basic stability, and does not affect minimum capacitor requirements.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the TSOT23-5 package in standard layout?
The datasheet specifies θJA = 220°C/W for the TSOT23-5 package on a 4-layer JEDEC JESD51-7 PCB. This value assumes standard copper pour; actual thermal performance improves significantly with larger GND copper area or thermal vias beneath the exposed pad region.
Does MP8802DJ-2.5-LF-Z support reverse polarity or reverse current protection?
No-the device lacks reverse-voltage or reverse-current protection circuitry. Applying reverse polarity to IN or OUT may damage the IC. External protection diodes or MOSFET-based reverse-polarity circuits must be added if system-level fault conditions demand such protection.
How does shutdown current behave when EN is pulled low?
When EN is driven below 0.4V, shutdown current is specified at 0.1–1μA (typ/max) with VIN = 5V. This ultra-low state enables true power gating in battery-backed subsystems, reducing standby drain to negligible levels while preserving fast wake-up capability.
What is the maximum allowable power dissipation at 85°C ambient temperature?
Using PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX) − TA)/θJA = (150°C − 85°C)/220°C/W ≈ 295mW, the device can dissipate up to ~295mW continuously at 85°C ambient. At 250mA load and 2.5V output, this corresponds to a maximum input voltage of ~3.65V before thermal shutdown triggers.
