About this manual

The LP2985 is a 150 mA fixed‑output voltage regulator designed for ultra‑low dropout and low noise in battery‑powered applications. It offers typical dropout of 300 mV at 150 mA, ground‑pin current as low as 850 pA, and a sleep‑mode quiescent current below 1 pA. The device is stable with output capacitor ESR as low as 5 mΩ and provides 1 % output voltage tolerance (A‑grade).\n\nAvailable in SOT‑23 and micro‑SMD packages, the LP2985 supports a range of output voltages from 2.5 V to 5.0 V. Ordering information, package dimensions, and detailed electrical characteristics are provided, along with application hints for low‑noise and low‑ESR designs.
