Product details
Overview
NCP134AMX150TCG from onsemi is a 500 mA very low dropout (VLDO) CMOS voltage regulator with NMOS pass transistor and separate bias rail (VBIAS), delivering 1.5 V fixed output at up to 500 mA with ±1.5% accuracy over −40°C to +85°C and ultra-low 150 mV dropout at full load (1.5 VOUT, 3.3 VBIAS, 85°C). It targets noise-sensitive, space-constrained portable power rails such as smartphone core I/O supplies.
For engineers reviewing the NCP134AMX150TCG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its dual-rail architecture (VIN/VBIAS), active output discharge capability, 1.2 mm × 1.2 mm XDFN4 package, and guaranteed stability with 2.2 µF ceramic output capacitance.
Technical Context
The NCP134AMX150TCG employs an NMOS pass transistor powered by a dedicated VBIAS rail (2.4–5.5 V), decoupling control circuitry from VIN to enable ultra-low dropout and improved PSRR (80 dB @ 1 kHz on VBIAS). Its internal UVLO monitors VBIAS with 1.6 V threshold and 0.2 V hysteresis.
It integrates logic-level EN control with 0.9 V high-threshold and 0.4 V low-threshold, thermal shutdown (160°C trip/140°C release), and current limiting (550–1000 mA). The active output discharge function-present only in "A"-suffix variants like NCP134AMX150TCG-ensures rapid VOUT discharge during disable.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.50 V, ±1.5% tolerance over −40°C to +85°C - ensures stable core I/O supply for low-voltage processors. |
| Max Output Current | 500 mA continuous - supports high-current digital I/O domains without external boost. |
| VIN Dropout Voltage | 150 mV max at 500 mA, 1.5 VOUT, 3.3 VBIAS, 85°C - enables operation from weak or aging battery sources. |
| VBIAS Range | 2.4 V to 5.5 V - allows use of shared system rails (e.g., 3.3 V or 5 V bias) independent of VIN. |
| PSRR (VBIAS) | 80 dB @ 1 kHz - suppresses noise coupling from noisy bias rails into sensitive analog/digital loads. |
| Output Capacitor | Stable with ≥2.2 µF ceramic - eliminates need for bulky tantalum or electrolytic capacitors in compact layouts. |
| Enable Threshold | VEN(H) = 0.9 V, VEN(L) = 0.4 V - compatible with 1.2 V/1.8 V GPIOs without level-shifting. |
| Active Discharge | Integrated pull-down (RDISCH = 150 Ω) - discharges VOUT rapidly upon shutdown to prevent latch-up or back-powering. |
Pinout & Package
XDFN4 package (Case 711BC): 1.2 mm × 1.2 mm × 0.4 mm, wettable flank, Pb-free, RoHS-compliant. Exposed thermal pad (pin 5 GND) enhances thermal performance (RJA = 170°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - OUT | Regulated output voltage node | Delivers 1.5 V to load; connects directly to 2.2 µF ceramic capacitor for stability. |
| 2 - BIAS | Bias supply input for internal control circuitry | Must be ≥2.4 V; monitored by UVLO; enables low-noise regulation independent of VIN. |
| 3 - EN | Logic-level enable input | High (>0.9 V) enables regulator; low (<0.4 V) disables with <1 µA bias current and activates output discharge. |
| 4 - IN | Main input voltage supply | Accepts 0.8–5.5 V; dropout minimized when VBIAS ≥ VOUT + 1.6 V. |
| 5 - GND | Power and signal ground reference | Shared return path; exposed thermal pad must be soldered to PCB copper for thermal management. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-rail NMOS architecture | Separates power path (VIN→OUT) from control logic (VBIAS), enabling 150 mV dropout and 80 dB VBIAS PSRR. |
| Active output discharge | On-chip 150 Ω pull-down activated during EN low, ensuring fast, controlled VOUT decay to prevent back-powering. |
| Ultra-low bias current | 80 µA typical at VBIAS = 2.7 V; drops to 0.5 µA in shutdown - extends battery life in always-on subsystems. |
| Stable with small ceramics | Guaranteed stability with 2.2 µF effective ceramic output capacitance - reduces board area and cost vs. larger caps. |
| Thermal and current protection | Auto-recovering thermal shutdown (160°C trip) and current limit (550–1000 mA) prevent damage under fault conditions. |
Applications
| Smartphone Core I/O Supply | Tablet Memory Interface Rail |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar very-low-dropout, dual-rail LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6216D152MR-G | Single-rail (VIN-only), 150 mA max, no VBIAS input, no active discharge | Limited to lower-current, less noise-sensitive rails; cannot replace NCP134AMX150TCG in bias-isolated systems | Select only if bias rail isolation and >300 mA load are unnecessary. |
| Richtek RT9080AL-15GJ6 | Single-rail, 600 mA, 200 mV dropout at 500 mA, no VBIAS, no active discharge | Higher dropout and no bias decoupling reduce efficiency in low-VIN battery apps; lacks discharge for fast power-down | Consider only for cost-sensitive, non-battery applications where 1.5 V accuracy and fast discharge are secondary. |
Compared with XC6216D152MR-G and RT9080AL-15GJ6, the NCP134AMX150TCG uniquely delivers dual-rail operation, 500 mA capability with 150 mV dropout, and integrated active discharge - making it irreplaceable in space-constrained, battery-powered systems requiring rail isolation and fast shutdown.

FAQ
What is the maximum dropout voltage of the NCP134AMX150TCG at full 500 mA load?
The NCP134AMX150TCG has a maximum VIN dropout voltage of 150 mV at 500 mA output current, 1.5 V nominal output, 3.3 V VBIAS, and +85°C junction temperature. This value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "VIN Dropout Voltage" for the NCP134AMX110TCG device condition, and confirmed applicable to NCP134AMX150TCG per Figure 6 and ordering table correlation. The low dropout enables operation from weak battery sources while maintaining regulation.
Does the NCP134AMX150TCG support active output discharge, and how is it enabled?
Yes, the NCP134AMX150TCG includes integrated active output discharge, a feature present only in "A"-suffix variants. It is automatically activated when the EN pin is driven low (≤0.4 V), pulling VOUT to GND through an internal 150 Ω resistor. This ensures rapid discharge to prevent back-powering of upstream circuits or latch-up during power sequencing - critical for JEDEC-compliant memory interfaces and camera modules.
What input capacitor is required for stable operation of the NCP134AMX150TCG?
The NCP134AMX150TCG requires a minimum 1 µF ceramic input capacitor (CIN) connected directly between the IN pin and GND. Per the Applications Information section, this stabilizes the input rail against PCB inductance, especially when VIN source impedance is non-negligible. A 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor (CBIAS) is also recommended on the BIAS pin for optimal noise rejection and transient response.
Can the NCP134AMX150TCG operate with a VBIAS voltage lower than 2.7 V?
Yes, the NCP134AMX150TCG supports VBIAS as low as 2.4 V, per the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. However, the Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) threshold is 1.6 V with 0.2 V hysteresis, meaning VBIAS must rise above ~1.8 V to exit UVLO. For guaranteed performance including ±1.5% output accuracy and full 500 mA current limit, VBIAS should be ≥ (VOUT + 1.4 V) = 2.9 V or 2.7 V - whichever is greater - as specified in the test conditions.
What is the thermal resistance (RJA) of the NCP134AMX150TCG in its XDFN4 package?
The NCP134AMX150TCG in the XDFN4 package (Case 711BC) has a junction-to-air thermal resistance (RJA) of 170°C/W. This value is derived from thermal simulations using a standard 40 mm × 40 mm × 1.6 mm FR4 PCB with 2-ounce copper on top and bottom layers covering 800 mm². Proper soldering of the exposed thermal pad to the PCB ground plane is essential to achieve this rating and maintain safe junction temperatures below 125°C under full load.
