LP2985IM5X-3.6

LP2985IM5X-3.6 is a fixed‑output low‑dropout regulator (LDO) from TI’s LP2985 family. It provides a regulated 3.6V rail from a higher input voltage in a compact 5‑pin M5X package (MSOP‑5/SOT‑23‑5). It is capable of sourcing up to about 150 mA with low dropout and includes protections such as enable control, current limit, and thermal shutdown. Being a fixed‑output part, no external feedback resistors are needed. It requires proper input and output capacitors for stability (per the datasheet). The EN pin lets you enable/disable the regulator for lower quiescent current in shutdown. Typical uses include battery‑powered microcontroller supplies, sensors, and other portable electronics that need a stable 3.6V rail. For exact specs (max load, dropout, tolerances, EN behavior, and capacitor requirements), consult the TI LP2985IM5X‑3.6 datasheet.

Here are concise features of LP2985IM5X-3.6:
- Fixed output: 3.6 V
- Output current: up to 150 mA
- Low dropout: typical ~0.15–0.22 V at moderate current
- Very low quiescent current: ~25 µA (typ.); EN/shutdown minimizes to ~1 µA
- Enable (EN) pin for shutdown control
- Short-circuit protection and thermal/shutdown protection
- Stability with 2.2 µF to 10 µF output capacitor; ESR range roughly 0.3–22 Ω
- Good line/load regulation and fast transient response
- Operating temperature: wide range (typ. -40 to 125°C)
- Package: IM5X (5-pin) compact package (SOT-23/5-type footprint)
Note: Exact numbers can vary by lot; consult the datasheet for precise specifications and recommended external components.

- Pin count: 5 pins (SOT-23-5 / IM5X package).
- Function: Fixed 3.6V low-dropout regulator with an Enable input. Pins typically are VIN (input), VOUT (3.6V output), GND, EN (enable), and NC (no connect). The EN pin enables the regulator when high (tie to VIN for always-on operation).

Manufacturer: Texas Instruments (TI).
