Note 1: “Absolute Maximum Ratings” indicate limits beyond which damage to the component may occur. Electrical specifications do not apply when operating
the device outside of its rated operating conditions.
Note 2: The ESD rating of pins 3 and 4 for the SOT-23 package, or pins 5 and 2 for the micro SMD package, is 1 kV.
Note 3: The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the maximum junction temperature, TJ(MAX), the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, θJA, and the ambient temperature, TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperture is calculated using:
Where the value of θJ-A for the SOT-23 package is 220°C/W in a typical PC board mounting. Exceeding the maximum allowable dissipation will cause excessive
die temperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown.
Note 4: If used in a dual-supply system where the regulator load is returned to a negative supply, the LP2985LV output must be diode-clamped to ground.
Note 5: The output PNP structure contains a diode between the VIN to VOUT terminals that is normally reverse-biased. Reversing the polarity from VIN to VOUT
will turn on this diode, and possibly damage the device (See Application Hints).
Note 6: Limits are 100% production tested at 25°C. Limits over the operating temperature range are guaranteed through correlation using Statistical Quality
Control (SQC) methods. The limits are used to calculate National's Average Outgoing Quality Level (AOQL).
Note 7: The ON/OFF input must be properly driven to prevent possible misoperation. For details, refer to Application Hints.
Note 8: The LP2985LV has foldback current limiting which allows a high peak current when VOUT > 0.5V, and then reduces the maximum output current as
VOUT is forced to ground (see Typical Performance Characteristics curves).
Note 9: VIN must be the greater of 2.2V or VOUT(NOM) + Dropout Voltage to maintain output regulation. Dropout Voltage is defined as the input to output differential
at which the output voltage drops 2% below ther value measured with a 1V differential.
Note 10: Exposing the micro SMD device to direct sunlight will cause misoperation. See Application Hints for additional information.

LP2985LV
Application Hints
EXTERNAL CAPACITORS
Like any low-dropout regulator, the LP2985LV requires external capacitors for regulator stability. These capacitors must
be correctly selected for good performance.
Input Capacitor
An input capacitor whose capacitance is ≥ 1 µF is required
between the LP2985LV input and ground (the amount of capacitance may be increased without limit).
This capacitor must be located a distance of not more than 1
cm from the input pin and returned to a clean analog ground.
Any good quality ceramic, tantalum, or film capacitor may be
used at the input.
Important: Tantalum capacitors can suffer catastrophic failure due to surge current when connected to a low-impedance
source of power (like a battery or very large capacitor). If a
Tantalum capacitor is used at the input, it must be guaranteed
by the manufacturer to have a surge current rating sufficient
for the application.
There are no requirements for ESR on the input capacitor, but
tolerance and temperature coefficient must be considered
when selecting the capacitor to ensure the capacitance will
be ≥ 1 µF over the entire operating temperature range.
10129520
FIGURE 2. LP2985LV 4.7µF Stable ESR Range
Important: The output capacitor must maintain its ESR within
the stable region over the full operating temperature range of
the application to assure stability.
The LP2985LV requires a minimum of 2.2 µF on the output
(output capacitor size can be increased without limit).
It is important to remember that capacitor tolerance and variation with temperature must be taken into consideration when
selecting an output capacitor so that the minimum required
amount of output capacitance is provided over the full operating temperature range. It should be noted that ceramic
capacitors can exhibit large changes in capacitance with temperature (see next section, Capacitor Characteristics).
The output capacitor must be located not more than 1 cm from
the output pin and returned to a clean analog ground.
Output Capacitor
The LP2985LV is designed specifically to work with ceramic
output capacitors, utilizing circuitry which allows the regulator
to be stable across the entire range of output current with an
output capacitor whose ESR is as low as 5 mΩ. It may also
be possible to use Tantalum or film capacitors at the output,
but these are not as attractive for reasons of size and cost
(see next sectionCapacitor Characteristics).
The output capacitor must meet the requirement for minimum
amount of capacitance and also have an ESR (equivalent series resistance) value which is within the stable range. Curves
are provided which show the stable ESR range as a function
of load current (see ESR graphs Figure 1 and Figure 2).
Noise Bypass Capacitor
Connecting a 10 nF capacitor to the Bypass pin significantly
reduces noise on the regulator output. It should be noted that
the capacitor is connected directly to a high-impedance circuit
in the bandgap reference.
Because this circuit has only a few microamperes flowing in
it, any significant loading on this node will cause a change in
the regulated output voltage. For this reason, DC leakage
current through the noise bypass capacitor must never exceed 100 nA, and should be kept as low as possible for best
output voltage accuracy.
The types of capacitors best suited for the noise bypass capacitor are ceramic and film. High-quality ceramic capacitors
with either NPO or COG dielectric typically have very low
leakage. 10 nF polypropolene and polycarbonate film capacitors are available in small surface-mount packages and typically have extremely low leakage current.
CAPACITOR CHARACTERISTICS
The LP2985LV was designed to work with ceramic capacitors
on the output to take advantage of the benefits they offer: for
capacitance values in the 2.2 µF to 4.7 µF range, ceramics
are the least expensive and also have the lowest ESR values
(which makes them best for eliminating high-frequency
noise). The ESR of a typical 2.2 µF ceramic capacitor is in the
range of 10 mΩ to 20 mΩ, which easily meets the ESR limits
required for stability by the LP2985LV.
10129519
FIGURE 1. LP2985LV 2.2µF Stable ESR Range
11
www.national.com
LP2985LV
One disadvantage of ceramic capacitors is that their capacitance can vary with temperature. Most large value ceramic
capacitors (≥ 2.2 µF) are manufactured with the Z5U or Y5V
temperature characteristic, which results in the capacitance
dropping by more than 50% as the temperature goes from 25°
C to 85°C.
This could cause problems if a 2.2 µF capacitor were used on
the output since it will drop down to approximately 1 µF at high
ambient temperatures (which could cause the LP2985LV to
oscillate). If Z5U or Y5V capacitors are used on the output, a
minimum capacitance value of 4.7 µF must be observed.
A better choice for temperature coefficient in ceramic capacitors is X7R, which holds the capacitance within ±15%. Unfortunately, the larger values of capacitance are not offered
by all manufacturers in the X7R dielectric.
10129554
FIGURE 3. Reverse Current Parth
However, if the output is pulled above the input, this diode will
turn ON and current will flow into the regulator output. In such
cases, a parasitic SCR can latch which will allow a high current to flow into VIN (and out the ground pin), which can
damage the part.
In any application where the output may be pulled above the
input, an external Schottky diode must be connected from
VIN to VOUT (cathode on VIN, anode on VOUT), to limit the reverse voltage across the LP2985LV to 0.3V (see Absolute
Maximum Ratings).
Tantalum
Tantalum capacitors are less desirable than ceramics for use
as output capacitors because they are more expensive when
comparing equivalent capacitance and voltage ratings in the
1 µF to 4.7 µF range.
Another important consideration is that Tantalum capacitors
have higher ESR values than equivalent size ceramics. This
means that while it may be possible to find a Tantalum capacitor with an ESR value within the stable range, it would
have to be larger in capacitance (which means bigger and
more costly) than a ceramic capacitor with the same ESR
value.
It should also be noted that the ESR of a typical Tantalum will
increase about 2:1 as the temperature goes from 25°C down
to −40°C, so some guard band must be allowed.
On/Off Input Operation
The LP2985LV is shut off by driving the ON/OFF input low,
and turned on by pulling it high. If this feature is not to be used,
the ON/OFF input should be tied to VIN to keep the regulator
output on at all times.
To assure proper operation, the signal source used to drive
the ON/OFF input must be able to swing above and below the
specified turn-on/turn-off voltage thresholds listed in the Electrical Characteristics section under VON/OFF. To prevent misoperation, the turn-on (and turn-off) voltage signals applied to
the ON/OFF input must have a slew rate which is
≥ 40 mV/µs.
Caution: the regulator output voltage can not be guaranteed
if a slow-moving AC (or DC) signal is applied that is in the
range between the specified turn-on and turn-off voltages listed under the electrical specification VON/OFF (see Electrical
Characteristics).
10129555
FIGURE 4. Reverse Current Protection
MICRO SMD MOUNTING
The micro SMD package requires specific mounting techniques which are detailed in National Semiconductor Application Note # 1112. Referring to the section Surface Mount
Technology (SMT) Assembly Considerations, it should be
noted that the pad style which must be used with the 5-pin
package is the NSMD (non-solder mask defined) type.
For best results during assembly, alignment ordinals on the
PC board may be used to facilitate placement of the micro
SMD device.
REVERSE INPUT-OUTPUT VOLTAGE
The PNP power transistor used as the pass element in the
LP2985LV has an inherent diode connected between the regulator output and input. During normal operation (where the
input voltage is higher than the output) this diode is reversebiased.
www.national.com
MICRO SMD LIGHT SENSITIVITY
Exposing the micro SMD device to direct sunlight will cause
misoperation of the device. Light sources such as Halogen
lamps can also affect electrical performance if brought near
to the device.
The wavelengths which have the most detrimental effect are
reds and infra-reds, which means that the fluorescent lighting
used inside most buildings has very little effect on performance. A micro SMD test board was brought to within 1 cm
of a fluorescent desk lamp and the effect on the regulated
output voltage was negligible, showing a deviation of less
than 0.1% from nominal.

Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, modifications, enhancements, improvements,
and other changes to its products and services at any time and to discontinue any product or service without notice. Customers should
obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and complete. All products are
sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its hardware products to the specifications applicable at the time of sale in accordance with TI’s standard
warranty. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary to support this warranty. Except where
mandated by government requirements, testing of all parameters of each product is not necessarily performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or customer product design. Customers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with customer products and applications, customers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any TI patent right, copyright, mask work right,
or other TI intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI products or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license from TI to use such products or services or a
warranty or endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual
property of the third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration and is accompanied
by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. Reproduction of this information with alteration is an unfair and deceptive
business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional
restrictions.
Resale of TI products or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that product or service voids all
express and any implied warranties for the associated TI product or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not
responsible or liable for any such statements.
TI products are not authorized for use in safety-critical applications (such as life support) where a failure of the TI product would reasonably
be expected to cause severe personal injury or death, unless officers of the parties have executed an agreement specifically governing
such use. Buyers represent that they have all necessary expertise in the safety and regulatory ramifications of their applications, and
acknowledge and agree that they are solely responsible for all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements concerning their products
and any use of TI products in such safety-critical applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support that may be
provided by TI. Further, Buyers must fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use of TI products in
such safety-critical applications.
TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in military/aerospace applications or environments unless the TI products are
specifically designated by TI as military-grade or "enhanced plastic." Only products designated by TI as military-grade meet military
specifications. Buyers acknowledge and agree that any such use of TI products which TI has not designated as military-grade is solely at
the Buyer's risk, and that they are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in automotive applications or environments unless the specific TI products are
designated by TI as compliant with ISO/TS 16949 requirements. Buyers acknowledge and agree that, if they use any non-designated
products in automotive applications, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet such requirements.
