Texas Instruments LP2985
LP2985 variants from Texas Instruments
LP2985 Overview
What changes between part numbers, and what to check before you lock the BOM — Microcontrollers.
LP2985 is a Texas Instruments order-code family — not a single orderable MPN. This page lists 12 variants that share the same core device but differ in suffix fields (package, grade, reel/tube, electrical bin, etc.). Pick the exact full part number; substituting within the family without checking the datasheet often causes assembly or spec mismatches.
10V LDO 150mA, 16V In, SOT-23-5, Enable Other listed variants describe: 1.8V 150mA LDO Voltage Regulator, SOT-23-5; 150-mA, 16-V, low-dropout voltage regulator with enable 5-SOT-23 -40 to 125.
Suffix examples in this family: 10DBVT, 18DBVR, 18DBVRE4, 18DBVRM3, 25DBVR, 28DBVR, 30DBVR, 33DBVR. The characters after the base number usually encode package, temperature, or performance grade — compare the variant table column-by-column rather than assuming pin-compatible drops-in.
Example MPNs: LP2985-10DBVT, LP2985-18DBVR, LP2985-18DBVRE4, LP2985-18DBVRM3, LP2985-25DBVR, LP2985-28DBVR.
Key Features
- Lifecycle mix: ActiveConfirm lifecycle on the exact MPN, not just the base number prefix.
- 12 distinct suffix patternsExamples: 10DBVT, 18DBVR, 18DBVRE4, 18DBVRM3, 25DBVR (+7 more). Decode suffix meaning in the ordering notes under the variant table.
Target Applications
- Microcontrollers — design-in and field replacement
- BOM scrub where only the base prefix is known but suffix is TBD
- Second-source checks when the original MPN is constrained

Ordering Code Differences
How suffixes on LP2985 map to package, grade, and reel options.
LP2985 uses a shared prefix; characters after the prefix encode orderable options. Two lines with the same prefix are not drop-in replacements unless the differing columns match your need.
Suffixes seen here: 10DBVT, 18DBVR, 18DBVRE4, 18DBVRM3, 25DBVR, 28DBVR, 30DBVR, 33DBVR, 33DBVRE4, 33DBVRM3 (+2 more).
Full MPN examples: LP2985-10DBVT, LP2985-18DBVR, LP2985-18DBVRE4, LP2985-18DBVRM3, LP2985-25DBVR.
Tip: photograph or copy the reel label — reel diameter, QTY per reel, and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) are often suffix-driven and won't show in the schematic.
How to Choose the Right LP2985 Microcontrollers
Match the footprint first
Pull the exact package drawing for your MPN — base-number swaps fail most often at the footprint, not the schematic.
Electrical headroom
Compare voltage and current columns in the variant table. For LP2985, a suffix with lower voltage or current rating will not survive the same circuit without recalculation.
Temp grade letter matters
Commercial (0–70 °C) and industrial (−40–85 °C+) suffixes look similar in the prefix — confirm ambient + self-heating, not just the first page of the datasheet.
Copy the full MPN
Do not BOM only "LP2985" — include the full suffix (e.g. 10DBVT, 18DBVR, 18DBVRE4). RFQ with reel/tube preference and required date code.
