LP2986AIMX-3.0/NOPB

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Overview

The LP2986AIMX-3.0/NOPB is a fixed-output low-dropout voltage regulator manufactured by Texas Instruments, delivering a stable 3 V output at up to 200 mA. It operates within an input voltage range of 2.1 V to 16 V and maintains a typical dropout voltage of 180 mV. The device features ultra-low quiescent current of 1 µA and high power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) of 65 dB. Designed for surface-mount applications, it utilizes an 8-pin VSSOP package and supports operation across an extended temperature range from -40 °C to +125 °C.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'MX' against official Texas Instruments documentation to confirm the VSSOP-8 tape-and-reel packaging configuration. Ensure the 'NOPB' designation aligns with current RoHS compliance requirements for your target market. Cross-reference the exact part number with the manufacturer's latest datasheet to validate availability status and any potential obsolescence notices before finalizing procurement plans.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 3 V rail is required with minimal static power draw. The 200 mA output capability suits moderate load applications. Verify that the input voltage remains above the minimum threshold of 2.1 V under all operating conditions. Consider the thermal performance in the VSSOP-8 package if ambient temperatures approach the upper limit of the specified range.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Part Context

This device belongs to the LP2986 series of micropower LDO regulators. It shares core electrical characteristics with other variants in the family, such as different output voltages or package options like SOIC-8. The AIMX variant specifically denotes the industrial temperature grade and VSSOP-8 reel packaging format, distinguishing it from tube-packed or commercial-grade alternatives within the same product line.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Replacement Considerations

LP2986AIM-3.0/NOPB: Identical electrical specifications but packaged in SOIC-8 tubes instead of VSSOP-8 reels. LP2986IMMX-3.0/NOPB: Same VSSOP-8 form factor and electrical performance; verify pin compatibility and thermal dissipation requirements match your PCB layout constraints.
