Product Overview: LP2982AIM5-3.8/NOPB

The LP2982AIM5-3.8/NOPB is a high-performance, low-dropout (LDO) linear voltage regulator manufactured by Texas Instruments. Designed to deliver a fixed output voltage of 3.8V, this regulator is capable of supplying an output current of up to 50mA. The device comes in a compact SOT-23-5 package, making it an ideal choice for space-constrained applications.

Key Features

• Output Voltage: Fixed 3.8V with high accuracy.
• Output Current: Capable of delivering up to 50mA.
• Low Dropout: Minimal voltage drop across the regulator, ensuring efficient operation even with a small input-to-output voltage differential.
• Low Quiescent Current: The device maintains low power consumption when in idle mode, which is beneficial for battery-powered applications.
• Stable with Low-ESR Capacitors: The LP2982AIM5-3.8/NOPB is stable with ceramic capacitors, which are smaller, more reliable, and have lower equivalent series resistance (ESR) compared to other capacitor types.
• Thermal Protection: The built-in thermal shutdown feature protects the device from overheating, ensuring reliable performance under varying operating conditions.
• Current Limiting: Inherent current limiting protects the regulator and the load from fault conditions.
