LP3988
Micropower, 150mA Ultra Low-Dropout CMOS Voltage
Regulator With Power Good
n 40dB PSRR at 10kHz
General Description
n ≤1 µA quiescent current when shut down
The LP3988 is a 150mA low dropout regulator designed
n Fast Turn-On time: 100 µs (typ.)
specially to meet requirements of Portable battery-
applications. The LP3988 is designed to work with a space
saving, small 1µF ceramic capacitor. The LP3988 features
an Error Flag output that indicates a faulty output condition.
n 80 mV typ dropout with 150mA load
n −40 to +125˚C junction temperature range for operation
n 1.85V, 2.5V, 2.6V, 2.85V, 3.0V, and 3.3V
The LP3988’s performance is optimized for battery powered
systems to deliver low noise, extremely low dropout voltage
and low quiescent current. Regulator ground current in-
creases only slightly in dropout, further prolonging the bat-
tery life.
Features
n 5 bump thin micro SMD package
n SOT-23-5 package
n Power-good flag output
Power supply rejection is better than 60 dB at low frequen-
cies and starts to roll off at 10 kHz. High power supply
rejection is maintained down to lower input voltage levels
common to battery operated circuits.
n Logic controlled enable
n Stable with ceramic and high quality tantalum capacitors
n Fast turn-on
n Thermal shutdown and short-circuit current limit
The device is ideal for mobile phone and similar battery
powered wireless applications. It provides up to 150 mA,
from a 2.5V to 6V input, consuming less than 1 µA in disable
mode and has fast turn-on time less than 200µs.
Applications
n CDMA cellular handsets
n Wideband CDMA cellular handsets
n GSM cellular handsets
n Portable information appliances
n Tiny 3.3V 5% to 2.85V, 150mA converter
The LP3988 is available 5 pin SOT-23 package and 5 bump
thin micro SMD package. Performance is specified for −40˚C
to +125˚C temperature range and is available in 1.85, 2.5,
2.6, 2.85, 3.0 and 3.3V output voltages.
Key Specifications
n 2.5 to 6.0V input range
n 150mA guaranteed output
