The LP2985IM5-2.9/NOPB is a fixed output linear regulator designed to provide a stable 2.9V output voltage with a maximum output current of 150mA. Manufactured by Texas Instruments, this regulator is part of the Power Management Integrated Circuits (PMIC) category and is housed in a compact SOT23-5 package, making it suitable for surface mount applications. Despite being marked as obsolete, the LP2985IM5-2.9/NOPB remains a reliable choice for applications requiring a low dropout voltage and high power supply rejection ratio (PSRR).
The LP2985IM5-2.9/NOPB stands out due to its low dropout voltage of 0.58V at 150mA, which allows it to maintain regulation even when the input voltage is close to the output voltage. This feature is particularly beneficial in battery-powered applications where the input voltage may drop significantly over time. Additionally, the regulator offers a high PSRR of 45dB at 1kHz, ensuring minimal noise and ripple on the output voltage, which is crucial for sensitive analog circuits.
The LP2985IM5-2.9/NOPB is ideal for a variety of applications that require a stable and low-noise power supply. Some specific use cases include:
Despite its obsolete status, the LP2985IM5-2.9/NOPB remains a valuable component for applications requiring a reliable, low dropout linear regulator with a fixed 2.9V output. Its combination of low dropout voltage, high PSRR, and comprehensive protection features make it a robust choice for a wide range of electronic designs. For engineers and designers looking for a compact, efficient, and stable power solution, the LP2985IM5-2.9/NOPB offers a proven and effective option.
