The LP2980AIM5-3.0 is a fixed-output, low-dropout (LDO) linear voltage regulator from Texas Instruments, designed to deliver a stable 3V output with a maximum current of 50mA. Housed in a compact SOT23-5 package, this regulator is optimized for space-constrained applications requiring reliable power management. With an input voltage range up to 16V and a low dropout voltage of 0.22V at 50mA, it ensures efficient operation even with minimal headroom. The device features enable control, allowing for power-saving modes, and includes robust protection mechanisms such as over-current, over-temperature, and short-circuit protection.
The LP2980AIM5-3.0 stands out as a high-performance LDO regulator, combining low dropout, ultra-low quiescent current, and robust protection in a miniature package. Its high PSRR and enable control make it versatile for noise-sensitive and power-conscious designs. While classified as Last Time Buy, it remains a dependable choice for legacy or new projects requiring a 3V, 50mA regulated supply with TI's proven reliability. Engineers should evaluate alternative TI LDOs for future-proof designs, but this model excels in cost-sensitive, space-constrained applications.
