DESCRIPTION/ORDERING INFORMATION
The LP2985 family of fixed-output, low-dropout regulators offers exceptional, cost-effective performance for both
portable and nonportable applications. Available in voltages of 1.8 V, 2.8 V, 2.9 V, 3 V, 3.3 V and 5 V, the family
has an output tolerance of 1% for the A version (1.5% for the non-A version) and is capable of delivering 150-mA
continuous load current. Standard regulator features, such as overcurrent and overtemperature protection, are
included.
The LP2985 has a host of features that makes the regulator an ideal candidate for a variety of portable
applications:
• Low dropout: A PNP pass element allows a typical dropout of 280 mV at 150-mA load current and 7 mV at
1-mA load.
• Low quiescent current: The use of a vertical PNP process allows for quiescent currents that are considerably
lower than those associated with traditional lateral PNP regulators.
• Shutdown: A shutdown feature is available, allowing the regulator to consume only 0.01 µA when the
ON/OFF pin is pulled low.
• Low-ESR-capacitor friendly: The regulator is stable with low-ESR capacitors, allowing the use of small,
inexpensive, ceramic capacitors in cost-sensitive applications.
• Low noise: A BYPASS pin allows for low-noise operation, with a typical output noise of 30 µVRMS, with the
use of a 10-nF bypass capacitor.
• Small packaging: For the most space-constrained needs, the regulator is available in the SOT-23 package.

Stresses beyond those listed under "absolute maximum ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under "recommended operating
conditions" is not implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
If load is returned to a negative power supply in a dual-supply system, the output must be diode clamped to GND.
The PNP pass transistor has a parasitic diode connected between the input and output. This diode normally is reverse biased
(VIN > VOUT), but will be forward biased if the output voltage exceeds the input voltage by a diode drop (see Application Information for
more details).
Maximum power dissipation is a function of TJ(max), θJA, and TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any allowable ambient
temperature is PD = (TJ(max) – TA)/θJA. Operating at the absolute maximum TJ of 150°C can affect reliability.
The package thermal impedance is calculated in accordance with JESD 51-7.

Dropout voltage is defined as the input-to-output differential at which the output voltage drops 100 mV below the value measured with a
1-V differential.
The ON/OFF input must be driven properly for reliable operation (see Application Information).

SLVS522F – JULY 2004 – REVISED AUGUST 2005
APPLICATION INFORMATION
Capacitors
Input Capacitor (CIN)
A minimum value of 1 µF (over the entire operating temperature range) is required at the input of the LP2985. In
addition, this input capacitor should be located within 1 cm of the input pin and connected to a clean analog
ground. There are no equivalent series resistance (ESR) requirements for this capacitor, and the capacitance
can be increased without limit.
Output Capacitor (COUT)
As an advantage over other regulators, the LP2985 permits the use of low-ESR capacitors at the output,
including ceramic capacitors that can have an ESR as low as 5 mΩ. Tantalum and film capacitors also can be
used if size and cost are not issues. The output capacitor also should be located within 1 cm of the output pin
and be returned to a clean analog ground.
ESR − Ω
As with other PNP LDOs, stability conditions require the output capacitor to have a minimum capacitance and an
ESR that falls within a certain range.
• Minimum COUT: 2.2 µF (can be increased without limit to improve transient response stability margin)
• ESR range: see Figure 28
Load Current − mA
Figure 28. 2.2-V/3.3-µF ESR Curves
It is critical that both the minimum capacitance and ESR requirement be met over the entire operating
temperature range. Depending on the type of capacitors used, both these parameters can vary significantly with
temperature (see capacitor characteristics).
Noise Bypass Capacitor (CBYPASS)
The LP2985 allows for low-noise performance with the use of a bypass capacitor that is connected to the internal
bandgap reference via the BYPASS pin. This high-impedance bandgap circuitry is biased in the microampere
range and, thus, cannot be loaded significantly, otherwise, its output – and, correspondingly, the output of the
regulator – changes. Thus, for best output accuracy, dc leakage current through CBYPASS should be minimized as
much as possible and never should exceed 100 nA.
A 10-nF capacitor is recommended for CBYPASS. Ceramic and film capacitors are well suited for this purpose.

APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued)
Capacitor Characteristics
Ceramics
Ceramic capacitors are ideal choices for use on the output of the LP2985 for several reasons. For capacitances
in the range of 2.2 µF to 4.7 µF, ceramic capacitors have the lowest cost and the lowest ESR, making them
choice candidates for filtering high-frequency noise. For instance, a typical 2.2-µF ceramic capacitor has an ESR
in the range of 10 mΩ to 20 mΩ and, thus, satisfies minimum ESR requirements of the regulator.
Ceramic capacitors have one major disadvantage that must be taken into account – a poor temperature
coefficient, where the capacitance can vary significantly with temperature. For instance, a large-value ceramic
capacitor (≥2.2 µF) can lose more than half of its capacitance as the temperature rises from 25°C to 85°C. Thus,
a 2.2-µF capacitor at 25°C drops well below the minimum COUT required for stability, as ambient temperature
rises. For this reason, select an output capacitor that maintains the minimum 2.2 µF required for stability over the
entire operating temperature range. Note that there are some ceramic capacitors that can maintain a ±15%
capacitance tolerance over temperature.
Tantalum
Tantalum capacitors can be used at the output of the LP2985, but there are significant disadvantages that could
prohibit their use:
• In the 1-µF to 4.7-µF range, tantalum capacitors are more expensive than ceramics of the equivalent
capacitance and voltage ratings.
• Tantalum capacitors have higher ESRs than their equivalent-sized ceramic counterparts. Thus, to meet the
ESR requirements, a higher-capacitance tantalum may be required, at the expense of larger size and higher
cost.
• The ESR of a tantalum capacitor increases as temperature drops, as much as double from 25°C to –40°C.
Thus, ESR margins must be maintained over the temperature range to prevent regulator instability.
ON/OFF Operation
The LP2985 allows for a shutdown mode via the ON/OFF pin. Driving the pin LOW (≤0.3 V) turns the device
OFF; conversely, a HIGH (≥1.6 V) turns the device ON. If the shutdown feature is not used, ON/OFF should be
connected to the input to ensure that the regulator is on at all times. For proper operation, do not leave ON/OFF
unconnected, and apply a signal with a slew rate of ≥40 mV/µs.

APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued)
Reverse Input-Output Voltage
There is an inherent diode present across the PNP pass element of the LP2985.
VIN
VOUT
With the anode connected to the output, this diode is reverse biased during normal operation, since the input
voltage is higher than the output. However, if the output is pulled higher than the input for any reason, this diode
is forward biased and can cause a parasitic silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) to latch, resulting in high current
flowing from the output to the input. Thus, to prevent possible damage to the regulator in any application where
the output may be pulled above the input, an external Schottky diode should be connected between the output
and input. With the anode on output, this Schottky limits the reverse voltage across the output and input pins to
∼0.3 V, preventing the regulator’s internal diode from forward biasing.
