LP3992
Micropower 1.5V CMOS Voltage Regulator with
Shutdown Control
LP3992 Micropower 1.5V CMOS Voltage Regulator with Shutdown Control
December 2002
General Description
The LP3992 regulator is designed to meet the requirements
of portable, battery-powered systems providing an accurate
output voltage, low noise, and low quiescent current. Battery
life will be prolonged by the ability of the LP3992 to provide
a 1.5V output from the low input voltage of 1.9V. Additionally,
when switched to a shutdown mode via a logic signal at the
shutdown pin, the power consumption is reduced to virtually
zero. The LP3992 also features short-circuit and thermalshutdown protection.
The LP3992 is designed to be stable with space saving
ceramic capacitors as small as 1.0µF.
The device is available in an SOT23-5 package. Performance is specified for a -40˚C to 125˚C temperature range.
For output voltages other than 1.5V and alternative package
options, please contact your local NSC sales office.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are limits beyond which damage can occur. Operating Ratings are conditions under which operation of the device is
guaranteed. Operating Ratings do not imply guaranteed performance limits. For guaranteed performance limits and associated test conditions, see the Electrical
Characteristics tables.
