(1) Stresses beyond those listed under absolute maximum ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under recommended operating
conditions is not implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
(2) All voltages are with respect to the potential at the GND pin.
(3) If Military/Aerospace specified devices are required, please contact the Texas Instruments Sales Office/ Distributors for availability and
specifications.
(4) Additional information on pad temperature can be found in the TI AN-1112 Application Report ().
(5) The Absolute Maximum power dissipation depends on the ambient temperature and can be calculated using the formula: PD= (TJ-
TA)/θJA,where TJis the junction temperature, TAis the ambient temperature, and θJA is the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. The
364 mW rating for SOT23-5 appearing under Absolute Maximum Ratings results from substituting the Absolute Maximum junction
temperature, 150°C, for TJ, 70°C for TA, and 220°C/W for θJA. More power can be dissipated safely at ambient temperatures below
70°C . Less power can be dissipated safely at ambient temperatures above 70°C. The Absolute Maximum power dissipation for SOT23-
5 can be increased by 4.5 mW for each degree below 70°C, and it must be derated by 4.5mW for each degree above 70°C.
(6) The human body model is 100pF discharged through 1.5kΩresistor into each pin. The machine model is a 200 pF capacitor discharged
directly into each pin.

(2) All voltages are with respect to the potential at the GND pin.
(3) Like the Absolute Maximum power dissipation, the maximum power dissipation for operation depends on the ambient temperature. The
250mW rating for SOT23-5 appearing under Operating Ratings results from substituting the maximum junction temperature for
operation, 125°C, for TJ, 70°C for TA, and 220°C/W for θJA using the formula: PD= (TJ- TA)/θJA. More power can be dissipated at
ambient temperatures below 70°C . Less power can be dissipated at ambient temperatures above 70°C. The maximum power
dissipation for operation can be increased by 4.5 mW for each degree below 70°C, and it must be derated by 4.5mW for each degree

APPLICATION HINTS
External Capacitors
Like any low-dropout regulator, the LP3984 requires external capacitors for regulator stability. The LP3984 is
specifically designed for portable applications requiring minimum board space and smallest components. These
capacitors must be correctly selected for good performance.
Input Capacitors
An input capacitance of 1 µF is required between the LP3984 input pin and ground (the amount of the
capacitance may be increased without limit).
This capacitor must be located a distance of not more than 1 cm from the input pin and returned to a clean
analog ground. Any good quality ceramic, tantalum, or film capacitor may be used at the input.
Important: Tantalum capacitors can suffer catastrophic failures due to surge current when connected to a low-
impedance source of power (like a battery or a very large capacitor). If a tantalum capacitor is used at the input,
it must be specified by the manufacturer to have a surge current rating sufficient for the application.
There are no requirements for the ESR on the input capacitor, but tolerance and temperature coefficient must be
considered when selecting the capacitor to ensure the capacitance will be 1 µF over the entire operating
temperature range.
Output Capacitor
The LP3984 is designed specifically to work with tantalum output capacitors. A tantalum capacitor in 1 to 22 µF
range with 2Ωto 10ΩESR range is suitable in the LP3984 application circuit.
It may also be possible to use film capacitors at the output, but these are not as attractive for reasons of size and
cost.
The output capacitor must meet the requirement for minimum amount of capacitance and also have an ESR
(Equivalent Series Resistance) value which is within a stable range (2Ωto 10Ω).
No-Load Stability
The LP3984 will remain stable and in regulation with no external load. This is specially important in CMOS RAM
keep-alive applications.
On/Off Input Operation
The LP3984 is turned off by pulling the VEN pin low, and turned on by pulling it high. If this feature is not used,
the VEN pin should be tied to VIN to keep the regulator output on at all times. To assure proper operation, the
signal source used to drive the VEN input must be able to swing above and below the specified turn-on/off voltage
thresholds listed in the Electrical Characteristics section under VIL and VIH.
Fast On-Time
The LP3984 output is turned on after Vref voltage reaches its final value (1.23V nominal). To speed up this
process, the noise reduction capacitor at the bypass pin is charged with an internal 70 µA current source. The
current source is turned off when the bandgap voltage reaches approximately 95% of its final value. The turn-on
time is determined by the time constant of the bypass capacitor. The smaller the capacitor value, the shorter the
turn-on time, but less noise gets reduced. As a result, turn-on time and noise reduction need to be taken into
design consideration when choosing the value of the bypass capacitor.

DSBGA Mounting
The DSBGA package requires specific mounting techniques which are detailed in the AN-1112 Application
Report (SNVA009). Referring to the section PCB Layout ; note that the pad style which must be used with the 5-
pin package is NSMD (non-solder mask defined) type.
For best results during assembly, alignment ordinals on the PC board may be used to facilitate placement of the
DSBGA device.
DSBGA Light Sensitivity
Exposing the DSBGA device to direct sunlight will cause mis-operation of the device. Light sources such as
halogen lamps can affect electrical performance if brought near to the device.
The wavelengths which have most detrimental effect are reds and infra-reds, which means that the fluorescent
lighting used inside most buildings has very little effect on performance. A DSBGA test board was brought to
within 1 cm of a fluorescent desk lamp and the effect on the regulated output voltage was negligible, showing a
deviation of less than 0.1% from nominal.

DIRECT, SPECIAL, COLLATERAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES IN
CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF TI RESOURCES OR USE THEREOF, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER TI HAS BEEN
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Unless TI has explicitly designated an individual product as meeting the requirements of a particular industry standard (e.g., ISO/TS 16949
and ISO 26262), TI is not responsible for any failure to meet such industry standard requirements.
Where TI specifically promotes products as facilitating functional safety or as compliant with industry functional safety standards, such
products are intended to help enable customers to design and create their own applications that meet applicable functional safety standards
and requirements. Using products in an application does not by itself establish any safety features in the application. Designers must
ensure compliance with safety-related requirements and standards applicable to their applications. Designer may not use any TI products in
life-critical medical equipment unless authorized officers of the parties have executed a special contract specifically governing such use.
Life-critical medical equipment is medical equipment where failure of such equipment would cause serious bodily injury or death (e.g., life
support, pacemakers, defibrillators, heart pumps, neurostimulators, and implantables). Such equipment includes, without limitation, all
medical devices identified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as Class III devices and equivalent classifications outside the U.S.
TI may expressly designate certain products as completing a particular qualification (e.g., Q100, Military Grade, or Enhanced Product).
Designers agree that it has the necessary expertise to select the product with the appropriate qualification designation for their applications
and that proper product selection is at Designers’ own risk. Designers are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory
requirements in connection with such selection.
Designer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages, costs, losses, and/or liabilities arising out of Designer’s non-
compliance with the terms and provisions of this Notice.
