Frequently Asked Questions
What is the output voltage and accuracy of the LP2981A-33DBVTE4?
The LP2981A-33DBVTE4 provides a fixed 3.3V regulated output with a maximum accuracy of 0.75%, ensuring the output stays within ±24.75mV across line, load, and temperature variations — suitable for precision digital and analog circuitry.
What input voltage range does the LP2981A-33DBVTE4 support?
The device accepts an input voltage from 2.2V minimum up to 16V absolute maximum, with a recommended operating maximum of 16V. This wide range allows it to be powered from a variety of sources including single-cell Li-ion, 5V USB, and 12V automotive or industrial rails.
What is the dropout voltage of the LP2981A-33DBVTE4 and why does it matter?
The typical dropout voltage is 0.2V, with a maximum of 0.375V at full 100mA load. Low dropout means the input supply only needs to be 0.375V above 3.3V (i.e., 3.675V) in the worst case, making it efficient for battery-powered designs where input voltage is close to the regulated output.
What package does the LP2981A-33DBVTE4 use and what does the 'DBVT' suffix indicate?
The LP2981A-33DBVTE4 comes in a SOT-23 5-pin (DBVT) surface-mount package. The 'E4' suffix denotes RoHS-compliant, lead-free finish (Sn-Ag-Cu). The compact SOT-23-5 footprint minimizes PCB area, making it suitable for space-constrained portable and wearable designs.
What are common applications for the LP2981A-33DBVTE4?
Typical applications include powering microcontrollers (e.g., STM32, nRF52), Bluetooth/Wi-Fi modules, MEMS sensors, and display drivers in IoT devices, wearables, handheld instruments, and automotive infotainment sub-systems that require a low-noise, stable 3.3V supply rail.
