National Semiconductor LP2989 Micropower/Low Noise 500 mA Ultra Low‑Dropout Datasheet
The LP2989 is a fixed‑output 500 mA precision LDO regulator designed for use with ceramic output capacitors. It offers ultra‑low dropout voltage, very low output noise, and a shutdown mode that draws less than 0.8 pA. The device provides 0.75 % output voltage accuracy (A‑grade) and operates over a wide supply range up to 16 V.
The regulator is available in SO‑8, Mini SO‑8, and 8‑lead LLP surface‑mount packages. The document includes connection diagrams, ordering information for multiple voltage grades, absolute maximum ratings, electrical characteristics, physical dimensions, and a life‑support policy disclaimer.
