3 Description

The LP2992 is a fixed-output, wide-input, low-noise,

low-dropout voltage regulator supporting an input

voltage range from 2.5V to 16V and up to 250mA of

load current. The LP2992 supports an output range of

1.2V to 5.0V (new chip).

Additionally, the LP2992 (new chip) has a 1% output

accuracy across load, and temperature that can meet

the needs of low-voltage microcontrollers (MCUs) and

processors.

Low output noise of 30µVRMS (with 10nF bypass

capacitors) and wide bandwidth PSRR performance

of greater than 70dB at 1kHz and 40dB at 1MHz

help attenuate the switching frequency of an upstream

DC/DC converter and minimize post regulator filtering.

The internal soft-start time and current limit protection

reduce inrush current during start up, thus minimizing

input capacitance. Standard protection features, such

as overcurrent and overtemperature protection, are

included.

The LP2992 is available in a 5-pin 2.9mm × 2.8mm

SOT-23 (DBV) package.
