LP2985
Micropower 150 mA Low-Noise Ultra Low-Dropout
Regulator in SOT-23 and micro SMD Packages
Designed for Use with Very Low ESR Output Capacitors
General Description
Features
The LP2985 is a 150 mA, fixed-output voltage regulator designed to provide ultra low-dropout and low noise in battery
powered applications.
Using an optimized VIP™ (Vertically Integrated PNP) process, the LP2985 delivers unequalled performance in all
specifications critical to battery-powered designs:
Dropout Voltage: Typically 300 mV @ 150 mA load, and
7 mV @ 1 mA load.
Ground Pin Current: Typically 850 µA @ 150 mA load, and
75 µA @ 1 mA load.
Enhanced Stability: The LP2985 is stable with output capacitor ESR as low as 5 mΩ, which allows the use of ceramic
capacitors on the output.
Sleep Mode: Less than 1 µA quiescent current when
ON/OFF pin is pulled low.
Smallest Possible Size: SOT-23 and micro SMD packages
use absolute minimum board space.
Precision Output: 1% tolerance output voltages available
(A grade).
Low Noise: By adding a 10 nF bypass capacitor, output
noise can be reduced to 30 µV (typical).
Multiple voltage options, from 2.5V to 5.0V, are available as
standard products. Consult factory for custom voltages.

Basic Application Circuit
DS100140-2
*ON/OFF input must be actively terminated. Tie to VIN if this function is not to be used.
**Minimum capacitance is shown to ensure stability (may be increased without limit). Ceramic capacitor required for output (see Application Hints).
***Reduces output noise (may be omitted if application is not noise critical). Use ceramic or film type with very low leakage current (see Application Hints).

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 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, θJ-A, 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 and the micro SMD package is 320˚C/W. 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 LP2985 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.
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: Dropout voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 100 mV below the value measured with a 1V differential.
Note 8: The ON/OFF input must be properly driven to prevent possible misoperation. For details, refer to Application Hints.
Note 9: The LP2985 has foldback current limiting which allows a high peak current when VOUT
forced to ground (see Typical Performance Characteristics curves).

tor 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 section Capacitor 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 graph below).
Application Hints
EXTERNAL CAPACITORS
Like any low-dropout regulator, the LP2985 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 LP2985 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.

The LP2985 is designed specifically to work with ceramic
output capacitors, utilizing circuitry which allows the regula-

Typical Performance Characteristics
LP2985
Application Hints
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.
(Continued)
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 LP2985 requires a minimum of 2.2 µF on the output
(output capacitor size can be increased without limit).
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.
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.
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.
ON/OFF INPUT OPERATION
The LP2985 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
mis-operation, 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).
REVERSE INPUT-OUTPUT VOLTAGE
The PNP power transistor used as the pass element in the
LP2985 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
reverse-biased.
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 LP2985 to 0.3V (see Absolute
Maximum Ratings).
CAPACITOR CHARACTERISTICS
The LP2985 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 LP2985.
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 LM2985
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.
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.

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.
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 wavelenghts 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 perfor14
