FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LP2992 is a 250 mA, fixed-output voltage
2
Ultra Low Dropout Voltage
regulator designed to provide ultra low-dropout and
Specified 250 mA Output Current
low noise in battery powered applications.
Smallest Possible Size (SOT-23, WSON
Using an optimized VIP (Vertically Integrated PNP)
Package)
process, the LP2992 delivers unequaled performance
Requires Minimum External Components
in all specifications critical to battery-powered
designs:
Stable with Low-ESR Output Capacitor
<1 µA Quiescent Current when Shut Down
Dropout Voltage: Typically 450 mV @ 250 mA load,
and 5 mV @ 1 mA load.
Low Ground Pin Current at all Loads
Output Voltage Accuracy 1% (A Grade)
Ground Pin Current: Typically 1500 µA @ 250 mA
load, and 75 µA @ 1 mA load.
High Peak Current Capability
Wide Supply Voltage Range (16V Max)
Enhanced Stability: The LP2992 is stable with
output capacitor ESR as low as 5 m, which allows
Low Z
OUT
: 0.3 Typical (10 Hz to 1 MHz)
the use of ceramic capacitors on the output.
Overtemperature/overcurrent Protection
Sleep Mode: Less than 1 µA quiescent current when
40°C to +125°C Junction Temperature Range
ON/OFF pin is pulled low.
Custom Voltages Available
Smallest Possible Size: SOT-23 and WSON
packages use absolute minimum board space.
APPLICATIONS
Precision Output: 1% tolerance output voltages
Cellular Phone
available (A grade).
Palmtop/Laptop Computer
Low Noise: By adding a 10 nF bypass capacitor,
Personal Digital Assistant (PDA)
output noise can be reduced to 30 µV (typical).
Camcorder, Personal Stereo, Camera
Multiple voltage options, from 1.5V to 5.0V, are
available as standard products. Consult factory for
custom voltages.
