LP2986AIMX-5.0/NOPB

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

The LP2986AIMX-5.0/NOPB is a micropower, ultra low-dropout fixed voltage regulator manufactured by Texas Instruments. It provides a fixed 5 V output with a maximum load current of 200 mA. The device operates within an input voltage range up to 16 V and features a typical dropout voltage of 180 mV at full load. Quiescent current is specified at 1 uA. It offers high power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) of 65 dB and maintains voltage regulation accuracy of 0.5%. The component supports operation across an extended temperature range from -40 C to +125 C and is housed in an 8-pin VSSOP package.

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

Verify the specific suffix 'NOPB' indicates lead-free and RoHS compliance status as per manufacturer documentation. Confirm the 'IMX' designation corresponds to the VSSOP-8 surface-mount package variant. Ensure the '5.0' identifier matches the required 5 V fixed output voltage for the target circuit design. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to confirm technical specifications align with current production standards.

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

Select this component when a fixed 5 V rail is required with a maximum load of 200 mA. Consider the VSSOP-8 package for space-constrained printed circuit board layouts. Evaluate the 180 mV dropout characteristic against the minimum available input voltage headroom. Assess the 1 uA quiescent current impact on overall system battery life during active operation periods.
