Product details
Overview
MP8903DJ-2.85-LF-P from Monolithic Power Systems is a fixed-output 2.85V, 150mA low-dropout linear regulator in TSOT23-5 package, operating from 2.7V to 6.5V input with ±2% output accuracy and 100mV dropout at 100mA. It integrates thermal shutdown protection and supports stable regulation with low-ESR ceramic capacitors. Used for powering mobile handset PLL circuits and audio codec bias rails where compact size and precision voltage stability are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MP8903DJ-2.85-LF-P datasheet, MP8903DJ-2.85-LF-P pinout, MP8903DJ-2.85-LF-P application, or MP8903DJ-2.85-LF-P equivalent, key selection considerations include its 2.85V fixed output, TSOT23-5 thermal resistance (θJA = 220°C/W), EN-controlled startup sequence, FB pin compatibility for adjustable configurations, and 1.222V internal reference for external resistor divider design.
Technical Context
The MP8903DJ-2.85-LF-P employs a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling low dropout operation down to 100mV at 100mA load, with internal bandgap reference (1.222V) and feedback amplifier driving the FB pin. Its enable logic accepts TTL-compatible EN input (VIH ≥ 1.5V, VIL ≤ 0.4V) and draws only 0.1–1μA in shutdown mode.
Thermal protection activates at TJ = 155°C with 30°C hysteresis, and stability is ensured with 1–10μF X5R/X7R output capacitors. PSRR reaches 50dB at 1kHz and 20dB at 1MHz under standard 2.2μF output capacitance, supporting noise-sensitive analog subsystems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.85V ±2% - ensures precise biasing for RF PLL VCOs and audio DAC reference rails. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA - sufficient for low-power analog signal chains and sensor interface ICs. |
| Dropout Voltage | 100mV at 100mA - enables operation with minimal headroom, e.g., 3.0V input powering 2.85V rail. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 6.5V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V), USB 5V, and 3.3V system rails. |
| Quiescent Current | Typical 105μA - minimizes standby power loss in battery-powered portable devices. |
| PSRR @ 1kHz | 50dB - suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC/DC converters feeding shared input rails. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 155°C activation with 30°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
MP8903DJ-2.85-LF-P uses the TSOT23-5 surface-mount package (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.0mm), optimized for space-constrained portable designs and featuring an exposed pad for enhanced thermal dissipation (θJA = 220°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - IN | Power input supply | Primary input source (2.7–6.5V); requires ≥1μF X5R/X7R ceramic bypass capacitor to GND. |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | System ground return path; must connect directly to low-impedance ground plane for stability and thermal performance. |
| 3 - EN | Enable control input | TTL-compatible digital enable (VIH ≥ 1.5V); tie to IN for automatic startup or drive low for <1μA shutdown current. |
| 4 - FB | Feedback reference node | Internal 1.222V reference point; used with external resistor divider to configure adjustable outputs (1.25–5V). |
| 5 - OUT | Regulated output | 2.85V regulated output; requires ≥1μF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor to GND for loop stability and transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low dropout operation | 100mV at 100mA load enables use with tight input–output margins, extending battery runtime in portable systems. |
| Stable with low-ESR ceramics | Supports 1–10μF X5R/X7R capacitors without requiring high-ESR tantalum or aluminum electrolytics, reducing BOM cost and footprint. |
| Integrated thermal protection | 155°C junction shutdown with 30°C hysteresis provides autonomous overtemperature recovery without external circuitry. |
| Adjustable output capability | FB pin allows reconfiguration to 1.25–5V via external resistor divider (R1+R2 ≤ 100kΩ), increasing design reuse across voltage variants. |
| High PSRR at audio frequencies | 50dB rejection at 1kHz suppresses ripple from switching regulators, preserving SNR in audio codec and ADC reference supplies. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for MP8903DJ-2.85-LF-P to maintain regulation?
The MP8903DJ-2.85-LF-P requires a minimum input voltage of 2.7V to operate within specification. With its 100mV dropout at 100mA, it maintains 2.85V output regulation down to VIN = 2.95V under that load. Below 2.7V, the device may cease regulation or enter undervoltage lockout.
Can MP8903DJ-2.85-LF-P be used in adjustable-output configuration?
Yes-the FB pin allows conversion to adjustable mode using an external resistor divider. The internal reference is 1.222V, so VOUT = 1.222V × (1 + R1/R2). R1 + R2 must not exceed 100kΩ, and R2 is recommended at 10kΩ ±1% for accuracy.
Does MP8903DJ-2.85-LF-P require an input capacitor?
Yes-a ceramic capacitor of 1–10μF (X5R or X7R dielectric) is required between IN and GND. This stabilizes input impedance, improves line transient response, and prevents oscillation due to source inductance.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the TSOT23-5 package?
The TSOT23-5 package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 220°C/W on a standard 4-layer JEDEC test board. Actual performance depends on PCB copper area, airflow, and proximity to heat sources.
Is MP8903DJ-2.85-LF-P RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes-MP8903DJ-2.85-LF-P is RoHS compliant and lead-free, as indicated by the "LF" suffix in the part number. All MPS products adhere to RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and are green-status qualified.
How does the EN pin behave during power-up?
The EN pin is active-high with VIH ≥ 1.5V. When left floating, internal pull-down ensures default disable state. For automatic startup, connect EN directly to IN; this guarantees turn-on once VIN exceeds 2.7V and avoids brown-out glitches.
What is the maximum allowable output capacitance?
No upper limit is specified-the MP8903DJ-2.85-LF-P is stable with 1–10μF ceramic output capacitors. Larger values improve load transient response but increase start-up time and physical footprint; X5R/X7R dielectrics are strongly recommended.
