Output noise can be reduced to 18 μV (typical) by
connecting an external 10-nF capacitor to the bypass
pin.
Using an optimized Vertically Integrated PNP (VIP)
process,
the
LP2989LV
delivers
superior
performance:
Ground Pin Current: Typically 3 mA at 500-mA load,
and 110 µA at 100-µA load.
Sleep Mode: The LP2989LV draws less than 0.8-µA
quiescent current when SHUTDOWN pin is pulled
low.
ERROR Flag: The built-in ERROR flag goes low
when the output drops approximately 5% below
nominal.
Precision Output: Output voltage accuracy is 0.75%
(A grade) and 1.25% (standard grade) at room
temperature.
For output voltages greater than or equal to 2 V, see
the LP2989 (SNVS083) data sheet.

of the LP2989LV VOUT accuracy. Device pin 2 must be left floating. Do not connect to
any potential. Do not connect to ground. Any attempt to do pin continuity testing on
device pin 2 is discouraged. Continuity test results are variable depending on the
actions of the factory calibration. Aggressive pin continuity testing (high voltage, or
high current) on device pin 2 may activate the trim circuitry forcing VOUT to move out

Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only, which do not imply functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under Recommended
Operating Conditions. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the maximum junction temperature, TJ(MAX), the junction-to-ambient thermal
resistance, RθJA, and the ambient temperature, TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperature is calculated
using: P(MAX) = (TJ(MAX) – TA) / RθJA. The value RθJA for the WSON (NGN) package is specifically dependent on PCB trace area, trace
material, and the number of layers and thermal vias. For improved thermal resistance and power dissipation for the WSON package,
refer to Application Note AN-1187 Leadless Leadframe Package (LLP) (SNOA401). Exceeding the maximum allowable power
dissipation causes excessive die temperature, and the regulator goes into thermal shutdown.
If used in a dual-supply system where the regulator load is returned to a negative supply, the LP2989LV output must be diode-clamped
to ground.
The output PNP structure contains a diode between the IN and OUT pins that is normally reverse-biased. Forcing the output above the
input turns on this diode and may induce a latch-up mode which can damage the part.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The LP2989LV device is a very high-accuracy micro-power voltage regulator with low quiescent current (75 μA
typical) and low dropout voltage (typical 40 mV at light loads and 380 mV at 100 mA). It is ideally suited for use
in battery-powered systems. The LP2989LV block diagram contains several features, including:
• Very high-accuracy 1.23-V reference
• SHUTDOWN input
• ERROR flag output
• Internal protection circuitry, such as foldback current limit, and thermal shutdown.
7.2 Functional Block Diagram
7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 High-Accuracy Output Voltage
With special careful design to minimize all contributions to the output voltage error, the LP2989LV distinguishes
itself as a very high output-voltage-accuracy micropower LDO. This includes a tight initial tolerance (0.75%
typical, A grade), extremely good line regulation (0.005%/V typical), and a very low output-noise voltage
(10 µVRMS typical), making the device an ideal low-power voltage reference.
7.3.2 Sleep Mode
When pulling SHUTDOWN pin to low levels, the LP2989LV enters shutdown mode, and a very low quiescent
current is consumed. This function is designed for applications which needs a shutdown mode to effectively
enhance battery life cycle.
7.3.3 Error Detection Comparator Output
The LP2989LV generates a logic low output whenever its output falls out of regulation by more than
approximately 5%. Refer to Application and Implementation for more details.
7.3.4 Short Circuit Protection (Current Limit)
The internal current limit circuit is used to protect the LDO against high-load current faults or shorting events. The
LDO is not designed to operate in a steady-state current limit. During a current-limit event, the LDO sources
constant current. Therefore, the output voltage falls when load impedance decreases. Note also that if a current
limit occurs and the resulting output voltage is low, excessive power may be dissipated across the LDO, resulting
in a thermal shutdown of the output. A foldback feature limits the short-circuit current to protect the regulator from
damage under all load conditions. If OUT is forced below 0 V before EN goes high and the load current required
exceeds the foldback current limit, the device may not start correctly.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.5 Thermal Protection
The device contains a thermal shutdown protection circuit to turn off the output current when excessive heat is
dissipated in the LDO. The thermal time-constant of the semiconductor die is fairly short, and thus the output
cycles on and off at a high rate when thermal shutdown is reached until the power dissipation is reduced. The
internal protection circuitry of the device is designed to protect against thermal overload conditions. The circuitry
is not intended to replace proper heat sinking. Continuously running the device into thermal shutdown degrades
its reliability.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Operation With 16 V ≥ VIN > VOUT(TARGET) + 1 V
The device operates if the input voltage is equal to, or exceeds VOUT(TARGET) + 1 V. At input voltages below the
minimum VIN requirement, the devices does not operate correctly, and output voltage may not reach target value.
7.4.2 Operation with Shutdown Control
If the voltage on the SHUTDOWN pin is less than 0.18 V, the output is ensured to be OFF. When the voltage on
the SHUTDOWN pin is more than 1.6 V the output is ensured to be ON. Operating with the SHUTDOWN pin
voltage between 0.18 V and 1.6 V is strongly discouraged as the status of the output is not ensured.
7.4.3 Shutdown Input Operation
The LP2989LV is shut off by driving the SHUTDOWN pin low, and turned on by pulling it high. If this feature is
not to be used, the SHUTDOWN must be tied to VIN to keep the regulator output on at all times.
To assure proper operation, the signal source used to drive the Shutdown input must be able to swing above and
below the specified turn-on/turn-off voltage thresholds listed in Electrical Characteristics under VSD.
To prevent mis-operation, the turnon (and turnoff) voltage signals applied to the SHUTDOWN input must have a
slew rate which is ≥ 40 mV/µs.
CAUTION
The regulator output voltage cannot be ensured 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 VSD (see Electrical Characteristics ).

8 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
The LP2989LV is a linear voltage regulator operating from 2.1 V to 16 V on the input and regulates voltages
between 2.5 V to 5 V with 0.75% accuracy and 500-mA maximum output current. Efficiency is defined by the
ratio of output voltage to input voltage because the LP2989LV is a linear voltage regulator. To achieve high
efficiency, the dropout voltage (VIN – VOUT) must be as small as possible, thus requiring a very low dropout LDO.
Successfully implementing an LDO in an application depends on the application requirements. If the
requirements are simply input voltage and output voltage, compliance specifications (such as internal power
dissipation or stability) must be verified to ensure a solid design. If timing, start-up, noise, PSRR, or any other
transient specification is required, the design becomes more challenging.
8.2 Typical Application
*Capacitance values shown are minimum required to assure stability, but may be increased without limit. Larger
output capacitor provides improved dynamic response. See the Output Capacitor section.
**SHUTDOWN must be actively terminated (see the Shutdown Input Operation section). Tie to IN (pin 4) if not use.

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
At 500-mA loading, the dropout of the LP2989LV has 650-mV maximum dropout over temperature, thus an
1500-mV headroom is sufficient for operation over both input and output voltage accuracy. The efficiency of the
LP2989LV in this configuration is VOUT / VIN = 76.9%. To achieve the smallest form factor, the WSON package is
selected. Input and output capacitors are selected in accordance with the capacitor recommendations. Ceramic
capacitances of 2.2 μF for the input and one 4.7-μF capacitor for the output are selected. With an efficiency of
76.9% and a 500-mA maximum load, the internal power dissipation is 750 mW, which corresponds to a 26.1°C
junction temperature rise for the WSON package. With an 85°C maximum ambient temperature, the junction
temperature is at 111.1°C. To minimize noise, a bypass capacitance (CBYPASS) of 0.01 µF is placed from the
BYPASS pin (device pin 1) to device ground (device pin 3).
8.2.2.1 WSON Package Devices
The LP2989LV is offered in the 8-lead WSON surface mount package to allow for increased power dissipation
compared to the SOIC package. For details on thermal performance as well as mounting and soldering
specifications, refer to Application Note AN-1187 Leadless Leadframe Package (LLP) (SNOA401).
For output voltages ≥ 2 V, see LP2989LV (SNVS083) data sheet.
8.2.2.2 External Capacitors
Like any low-dropout regulator, the LP2989LV requires external capacitors for regulator stability. These
capacitors must be correctly selected for good performance.
8.2.2.2.1 Input Capacitor
An input capacitor whose value is at least 2.2 µF is required between the LP2989LV input and ground (the
amount of capacitance may be increased without limit).
Characterization testing performed on the LP2989LV has shown that if the value of actual input capacitance
drops below about 1.5 µF, an unstable operating condition may result. Therefore, the next larger standard size
(2.2 µF) is specified as the minimum required input capacitance. Capacitor tolerance and temperature variation
must be considered when selecting a capacitor (see Capacitor Characteristics section) to assure the minimum
requirement of 1.5 µF is met over all operating conditions.
The input capacitor must be located at a distance of not more than 0.5 inches from the input pin and returned to
a clean analog ground. Any good quality ceramic or tantalum may be used for this capacitor, assuming the
minimum capacitance requirement is met.
8.2.2.2.2 Output Capacitor
The LP2989LV requires a ceramic output capacitor whose value is at least 10 µF. The actual amount of
capacitance on the output must never drop below about 7 µF or unstable operation may result. For this reason,
capacitance tolerance and temperature characteristics must be considered when selecting an output capacitor.
The LP2989LV is designed specifically to work with ceramic output capacitors, using 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
4 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 Capacitor Characteristics).
The output capacitor must meet the requirement for minimum amount of capacitance and also have an
equivalent series resistance (ESR) value which is within the stable range. Curves are provided which show the
stable ESR range as a function of load current (see Figure 13).

Figure 13. Stable Region for Output Capacitor ESR
NOTE
Important: The output capacitor must maintain its ESR within the stable region over the
full operating temperature range of the application to assure stability.
It is important to remember that capacitor tolerance and variation with temperature must be considered when
selecting an output capacitor so that the minimum required amount of output capacitance is provided over the full
operating temperature range. (See Capacitor Characteristics.)
The output capacitor must be located not more than 0.5 inches from the OUT pin and returned to a clean analog
ground.
8.2.2.2.3 Noise Bypass Capacitor
Connecting a 10-nF capacitor to the BYPASS pin significantly reduces noise on the regulator output. However,
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 causes the
regulated output voltage to drop. For this reason, DC leakage current through the noise bypass capacitor must
never exceed 100 nA, and must 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.
8.2.2.3 Capacitor Characteristics
8.2.2.3.1 Ceramic
The LP2989LV was designed to work with ceramic capacitors on the output to take advantage of the benefits
they offer: for capacitance values in the 10 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 10-µF ceramic
capacitor is in the range of 5 mΩ to 10 mΩ, which easily meets the ESR limits required for stability by the
LP2989LV.
One disadvantage of ceramic capacitors is that their capacitance can vary with temperature. Many 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 10-µF Y5V capacitor were used on the output because it drops down to
approximately 5 µF at high ambient temperatures (which could cause the LP2989LV to oscillate). Another
significant problem with Z5U and Y5V dielectric devices is that the capacitance drops severely with applied
voltage. A typical Z5U or Y5V capacitor can lose 60% of its rated capacitance with half of the rated voltage
applied to it.
For these reasons, X7R and X5R type ceramic capacitors must be used on the input and output of the
LP2989LV.

8.2.2.3.2 Tantalum
Tantalum output capacitors are not recommended for use with the LP2989LV; they are less desirable than
ceramics for use as output capacitors because they are typically more expensive when comparing equivalent
capacitance and voltage ratings in the 1 µF to 10 µF range
Another important consideration is that tantalum capacitors have higher ESR values than equivalent size
ceramics; 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.
Most 10-µF tantalum capacitors have ESR values higher than 0.5 Ω maximum limit required to make the
LP2989LV stable. Also note that the ESR of a typical tantalum increases about 2:1 as the temperature goes from
25°C down to −40°C, so some guard band must be allowed.
8.2.2.3.3 Film
Polycarbonate and polypropelene film capacitors have excellent electrical performance: their ESR is the lowest of
the three types listed, their capacitance is very stable with temperature, and DC leakage current is extremely low.
One disadvantage is that film capacitors are larger in physical size than ceramic or tantalum which makes film a
poor choice for either input or output capacitors.
However, their low leakage makes them a good choice for the noise bypass capacitor. Because the required
amount of capacitance is only 0.01 µF, small surface-mount film capacitors are available in this size.
8.2.2.4 Reverse Input-Output Voltage
The PNP power transistor used as the pass element in the LP2989LV 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 turns on, and current flows into the regulator output.
In such cases, a parasitic SCR can latch which allows high current to flow into VIN 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 LP2989LV to
0.3 V (see Absolute Maximum Ratings).

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The LP2989LV is designed to operate from an input voltage supply range from 2.1 V to 16 V. The input voltage
range provides adequate headroom for the device to have a regulated output. This input supply must be well
regulated. If the input supply is noisy, additional input capacitors with low ESR can help improve the output noise
performance.

10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
For best overall performance, place all circuit components on the same side of the circuit board and as near as
practical to the respective LDO pin connections. Place ground return connections to the input and output
capacitor, and to the LDO ground pin as close to each other as possible, connected by a wide, component-side,
copper surface. The use of vias and long traces to create LDO circuit connections is strongly discouraged and
negatively affects system performance. This grounding and layout scheme minimizes inductive parasitics, and
thereby reduces load-current transients, minimizes noise, and increases circuit stability. A ground reference
plane is also recommended and is either embedded in the PCB itself or located on the bottom side of the PCB
opposite the components. This reference plane serves to assure accuracy of the output voltage, shield noise,
and behaves similarly to a thermal plane to spread (or sink) heat from the LDO device. In most applications, this
ground plane is necessary to meet thermal requirements.

10.2.1 Thermal Considerations
CAUTION
Due to the limited power dissipation characteristics of the available SOIC (D) and
WSON (NGN) packages, all possible combinations of output current (IOUT), input
voltage (VIN), and ambient temperatures (TA) cannot be ensured.
Power dissipation, PD is calculated from the following formula:
PD = ((VIN – VOUT) × IOUT)
(1)
The LP2989LV regulator has internal thermal limiting designed to protect the device during overload conditions.
For continuous normal conditions, the recommended maximum operating junction temperature is 125°C. It is
important to give careful consideration to all sources of thermal resistance from junction to ambient. Additional
heat sources mounted nearby must also be considered.
For surface-mount devices, heat sinking is accomplished by using the heat-spreading capabilities of the PC
board and its copper traces. Copper board stiffeners and plated through-holes can also be used to spread the
heat generated by power devices.

Layout Example (continued)
Example: Given an output voltage of 1.8 V, an input voltage range of 4 V to 6 V, a maximum output current of
100 mA, and a maximum ambient temperature of 50°C, what is the maximum operating junction temperature?
The maximum power dissipated by the device (PD(MAX)) is found using the formula in Equation 2:
PD(MAX) = ((VIN(MAX) – VOUT) × IOUT(MAX)
(2)
Using Equation 2, the result is:
PD(MAX) = ((6 V – 1.8 V) × 100 mA ) = 0.42 W
when
•
•
•
IOUT(MAX) = 100 mA
VIN(MAX) = 6 V
VOUT = 1.8 V
Using the 8-pin SOIC (D) package, the LP2989LV junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) has a rating of
114.5°C/W using the standard JEDEC JESD51-7 PCB (High-K) circuit board.
TRISE = PD(MAX) × RθJA
(3)
Thus, The junction temperature rise above ambient (TRISE) using the formula in Equation 3 is:
TRISE = 0.42 W × 114.5°C/W = 48.1°C
The junction temperature rise can then be added to the maximum ambient temperature to find the estimated
operating junction temperature (TJ) using the formula in Equation 4:
TJ(MAX) = TA(MAX) + TRISE
(4)
which gives the following results:
TJ(MAX) = 50°C + 48.1°C = 98.1°C
