About this manual

The LP3990 regulator is designed for portable, battery‑powered applications requiring an accurate output voltage, low noise, and very low quiescent current. It offers a selectable output voltage from 0.8 V to 3.3 V and can be shut down via a logic enable pin, reducing power consumption to virtually zero.

The device is available in lead‑free micro‑SMD (4‑pin) and LLP‑6 (SOT‑23) packages, supports ceramic capacitors as small as 1 µF, and includes thermal‑overload and short‑circuit protection. Detailed electrical characteristics, pin descriptions, ordering information, and typical performance graphs are provided in the document.
