  • 150 mA output current with only 60 mV typical dropout voltage
  • Fixed 3.3 V output with ultra-low noise for RF and analog circuits
  • 2.5 V to 6 V wide input voltage range
  • Micropower quiescent current for battery-powered applications
  • 5-ball DSBGA package in an ultra-compact footprint
  • CMOS pass element for low ground current even at no load
  • RoHS compliant, lead-free (NOPB) packaging

What is LP3985ITL-3.3/NOPB used for?

LP3985ITL-3.3/NOPB is used to supply clean, low-noise 3.3 V power to RF transceivers, PLLs, VCOs, and precision ADCs in cellular, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi modules where power supply noise directly degrades receiver sensitivity. It also serves as a post-regulator behind switching converters in audio codec supplies, sensor front-ends, and portable medical instruments where the 60 mV dropout enables efficient operation from near-flat Li-ion batteries.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the 60 mV typical dropout voltage of LP3985ITL-3.3/NOPB benefit near-flat battery designs?

With only 60 mV typical dropout, LP3985ITL-3.3/NOPB maintains a regulated 3.3 V output as long as the input exceeds approximately 3.36 V, extracting more usable energy from a Li-ion cell that discharges toward 3.4 V near end-of-life. Standard LDOs with 300 mV dropout would drop out of regulation significantly earlier, wasting battery capacity.

What output noise level does LP3985ITL-3.3/NOPB achieve, and why is that critical for RF supply rails?

LP3985ITL-3.3/NOPB produces output noise of approximately 30 µV RMS in the 10 Hz to 100 kHz band, making it suitable for directly powering RF LNA and VCO supply pins where millivolt-level supply noise raises phase noise and degrades adjacent-channel selectivity by several dB. A bypass capacitor of 1 µF on the output optimizes noise performance.

What is the maximum input voltage for LP3985ITL-3.3/NOPB, and can it be powered from a 5 V USB rail?

LP3985ITL-3.3/NOPB accepts up to 6 V continuously (6.5 V absolute maximum), making it fully compatible with a 5 V USB power rail including the 5.25 V upper tolerance limit. The 1.7 V headroom between 5 V input and 3.3 V output ensures low-dropout operation well within the regulator's rated PSRR bandwidth.

How compact is the 5-ball DSBGA package and what PCB design rules apply?

The DSBGA 5-ball package measures approximately 0.73 mm × 0.73 mm with a 0.4 mm ball pitch, enabling power regulation within less than 1 mm² of PCB area adjacent to the powered IC. Layout requires solder mask-defined pads and fine-pitch SMT process capability, but the package eliminates the need for a separate ferrite-bead filter in noise-sensitive analog designs.

Is LP3985ITL-3.3/NOPB suitable for powering precision ADC reference circuits in a 3.3 V system?

Yes. The ultra-low output noise of approximately 30 µV RMS and the high PSRR of typically 65 dB at 1 kHz make LP3985ITL-3.3/NOPB an effective reference-supply filter for 16-bit to 24-bit ADCs where supply ripple coupling into the reference input degrades SNR. A 1 µF output capacitor and short trace routing to the ADC VREF pin complete the design.
