The LP2989AIMX-3.3 from Texas Instruments is a fixed-output, low-dropout (LDO) linear voltage regulator designed to deliver a stable 3.3V output at up to 500mA of load current. With a wide input voltage range of up to 16V, this regulator is well-suited for applications requiring efficient voltage conversion from higher input sources. The device features a low dropout voltage of 0.65V at 500mA, ensuring reliable operation even with marginal input voltages. Its low quiescent current (175 µA) and enable control make it ideal for power-sensitive designs. Although marked as obsolete, it remains a robust choice for legacy systems due to its high PSRR (60dB at 1kHz) and comprehensive protection features, including over-current, over-temperature, and short-circuit safeguards. Packaged in an 8-pin SOIC and compliant with RoHS3, it balances performance with compactness.
The LP2989AIMX-3.3 is a high-performance LDO regulator offering a blend of low power consumption, robust protection, and compact packaging. While obsolete, its high PSRR, enable control, and wide input range make it a strong candidate for battery-powered, industrial, and automotive applications. Engineers seeking a reliable 3.3V regulator with proven Texas Instruments quality will find this IC a practical solution, particularly in legacy or efficiency-critical designs.
