The LP2985-N low noise linear regulator delivers up
to 150-mA output current and only requires 300-mV
dropout voltage of input to output. Using an optimized
VIP (Vertically Integrated PNP) process, the LP2985N delivers unequaled performance for all batterypowered designs. The LP2985-N device provides 1%
tolerance precision output voltage with only 75 µA
quiescent current at 1 mA load and 850 µA at 150
mA load. By adding a 10-nF bypass capacitor, the
output noise can be reduced to 30 µV
in a 30-kHz
RMS
bandwidth.
The LP2985-N is designed to work with a ceramic
output capacitor with equivalent series resistance
(ESR) as low as 5 mΩ. The devices are available
with fixed output voltage from 2.5 V to 6.1 V. Contact
Texas Instrument Sales for specific voltage option
needs.
The smallest SOT-23 and DSBGA packages are
available for absolute minimum board space.

is forced to ground (see Typical Characteristics curves).
The LP2985-N family of fixed-output, ultra-low-dropout and low-noise regulators offers exceptional, cost-effective
performance for battery-powered applications. Available in output voltages from 2.5 V to 5 V, the family has an
output tolerance of 1% for the A version (1.5% for the non-A version) and is capable of delivering 150-mA
continuous load current. Standard regulator features, such as overcurrent and overtemperature protection, are
also included.
Using an optimized Vertically Integrated PNP (VIP) process, the LP2985-N contains several features to facilitate
battery powered designs:
•Multiple voltage options
•Low dropout voltage, typical dropout of 300 mV at 150 mA load current and 7 mV at 1 mA load.
•Low quiescent current and low ground current, typically 850-μA at 150 mA load, and 75-μA at 1-mA load.
•A shutdown feature is available, allowing the regulator to consume only 0.01-uA typically when the ON/OFF
pin is pulled low.
•Over Temperature Protection and Over Current Protection circuitry is designed to safeguard the device during
unexpected conditions
•Enhanced Stability: The LP2985-N is stable with output capacitor ESR as low as 5-mΩ, which allows the use
of ceramic capacitors on the output.
•Low noise: A BYPASS pin allows for low-noise operation, with a typical output noise of 30 µV
use of a 10-nF bypass capacitor.

8.3Feature Description
8.3.1 Multiple Voltage Options
In order to meet different application’s requirement, the LP2985-N family provide multiple fixed output options
from 2.5 V to 6.1 V. Please consult factory for custom voltages.
8.3.2 Output Voltage Accuracy
Output voltage accuracy specifies minimum and maximum output voltage error, relative to the expected nominal
output voltage stated as a percent. This accuracy error includes the errors introduced by the internal reference
and the load and line regulation across the full range of rated load and line operating conditions over
temperature, unless otherwise specified by the Electrical Characteristics. Output voltage accuracy also accounts
for all variations between manufacturing lots.
Generally speaking, the dropout voltage often refers to the voltage difference between the input and output
voltage (VDO= VIN– V
characterized by the classic R
nominal programmed output voltage at which the output voltage is expected to remain within its accuracy
boundary. If the input falls below this VDOlimit (VIN< V
follow the input voltage.
8.3.4 Low Ground Current
LP2985-N uses a vertical PNP process which allows for quiescent currents that are considerably lower than
those associated with traditional lateral PNP regulators, typically 850 μA at150 mA load, and 75 μA at 1-mA load.
8.3.5 Sleep Mode
When pull ON/OFF pin to low level, LP2985-N will enter sleep mode, and less than 2-μA quiescent current is
consumed. This function is designed for the application which needs a sleep mode to effectively enhance battery
life cycle.
8.3.6 Internal Protection Circuitry
8.3.6.1 Short Circuit Protection (Current Limit)
The internal current limit circuit is used to protect the LDO against high-load current faults or shorting events. The
LDO is not designed to operate in a steady-state current limit. During a current-limit event, the LDO sources
constant current. Therefore, the output voltage falls when load impedance decreases. Note also that if a current
limit occurs and the resulting output voltage is low, excessive power may be dissipated across the LDO, resulting
in a thermal shutdown of the output.
A fold back feature limits the short-circuit current to protect the regulator from damage under all load conditions.
If V
is forced below 0 V before EN goes high and the load current required exceeds the fold back current limit,

OUT
8.3.6.2 Thermal Protection
The LP2985-N contains a thermal shutdown protection circuit to turn off the output current when excessive heat
is dissipated in the LDO. The thermal time-constant of the semiconductor die is fairly short, and thus the output
cycles on and off at a high rate when thermal shutdown is reached until the power dissipation is reduced.
The internal protection circuitry of the LP2985-N is designed to protect against thermal overload conditions. The
circuitry is not intended to replace proper heat sinking. Continuously running the device into thermal shutdown
degrades its reliability.
8.3.7 Enhanced Stability
The LP2985-N is designed specifically to work with ceramic output capacitors, utilizing circuitry which allows the
regulator to be stable across the entire range of output current with an output capacitor whose ESR is as low as
5 mΩ. For output capacitor requirement, please refer to Output Capacitor.
8.3.8 Low Noise
The LP2985-N includes a low-noise reference ensuring minimal noise during operation because the internal
reference is normally the dominant term in noise analysis. Further noise reduction can be achieved by adding an
external bypass bapacitor between the BYPASS pin and the GND pin.
