LP2992
Micropower 250 mA Low-Noise Ultra Low-Dropout
Regulator in SOT-23 and LLP Packages
Designed for Use with Very Low ESR Output Capacitors
General Description
The LP2992 is a 250 mA, fixed-output voltage regulator
designed to provide ultra low-dropout and low noise in bat-
tery powered applications.
Using an optimized VIP™ (Vertically Integrated PNP) pro-
cess, the LP2992 delivers unequalled performance in all
specifications critical to battery-powered designs:
Dropout Voltage: Typically 450 mV @ 250 mA load, and
5 mV @ 1 mA load.
Ground Pin Current: Typically 1500 µA @ 250 mA load, and
75 µA @ 1 mA load.
Enhanced Stability: The LP2992 is stable with output ca-
pacitor 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 LLP 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 1.5V to 5.0V, are available as
standard products. Consult factory for custom voltages.

Basic Application Circuit
20029402
*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).
