Product details
Overview
NCP1423DMR2 from onsemi is a monolithic micropower synchronous boost DC-DC converter IC designed for battery-powered handheld electronics. It delivers up to 400 mA output at 3.3 V from 2.5 V input, integrates synchronous rectification to eliminate external Schottky diodes, features true-cutoff shutdown (isolating OUT from BAT), and includes ring-killer circuitry for DCM-mode ringing suppression.
For engineers reviewing the NCP1423DMR2 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include its 9.0 µA quiescent current, 0.8 V startup voltage, ±1.5% output voltage accuracy, 1.2 A cycle-by-cycle current limit, and Micro10 package compatibility with space-constrained portable designs.
Technical Context
The NCP1423DMR2 employs a PFM control scheme with fixed 0.5 V FB threshold and internal 1.195 V reference, enabling precise output regulation via external resistor divider. Its dual-MOSFET synchronous rectifier (N-FET + P-FET) is actively controlled with dead-time management and ZLC comparator-based zero-current detection to prevent reverse conduction in DCM.
True-cutoff is implemented via EN-pin–controlled isolation of both LX and BAT paths to OUT, reducing shutdown leakage to ≤1.5 µA. Integrated protection includes thermal shutdown (145 °C), overvoltage protection, low-battery detection (0.5 V threshold with 15 mV hysteresis), and auto-discharge (100 Ω internal switch).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS61200DRCT | Higher 1.5 A current limit; 2.5 V–5.5 V input range; no integrated ring-killer or true-cutoff | Requires external Schottky diode; lacks LBO/LBI pins; better suited for higher-power industrial sensors | Choose TPS61200DRCT only if >400 mA continuous output or wider VIN range is required; NCP1423DMR2 preferred for ultra-low-IQ portable devices |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for the NCP1423DMR2 to start switching?
The NCP1423DMR2 has a guaranteed minimum startup voltage of 0.85 V at 25 °C, with a maximum of 0.90 V across temperature. This allows reliable operation from deeply discharged single-cell NiMH/NiCd batteries. The device achieves this with internal charge pump and low-threshold comparators, and the NCP1423DMR2 maintains regulation even as input drops further during discharge cycles.
How does the true-cutoff function work in the NCP1423DMR2, and what is its benefit?
The NCP1423DMR2 implements true-cutoff by disabling internal conduction paths from both BAT and LX to OUT when the EN pin is pulled below 0.5 V. This physically isolates the output from the battery, reducing shutdown current to ≤1.5 µA. Unlike standard shutdown modes that leave body-diode leakage paths active, the NCP1423DMR2 eliminates parasitic discharge-critical for devices stored for months between uses.
Can the NCP1423DMR2 generate both 1.8 V and 3.3 V outputs, and how is output voltage set?
Yes-the NCP1423DMR2 supports adjustable output voltages from 1.8 V to 3.3 V using an external resistor divider on the FB pin. The relationship is VOUT = 0.5 V × (1 + R1/R2), where R2 is typically 100 kΩ. For example, R1 = 560 kΩ yields 3.3 V; R1 = 100 kΩ yields 1.8 V. The NCP1423DMR2 maintains ±1.5% accuracy across load and temperature, enabling dual-rail designs with one IC.
What protection features are integrated into the NCP1423DMR2?
The NCP1423DMR2 integrates thermal shutdown (145 °C, 30 °C hysteresis), overvoltage protection, cycle-by-cycle current limiting (1.2 A), low-battery detection (0.5 V threshold), and ring-killer circuitry for DCM-mode ringing suppression. All operate autonomously without external components. These protections are active during normal operation and remain functional in the NCP1423DMR2's 9.0 µA quiescent state.
Is the NCP1423DMR2 pin-compatible with other onsemi boost converters like the SCV1423DMR2G?
No-the NCP1423DMR2 and SCV1423DMR2G share identical pinout, package, and electrical specifications, but SCV1423DMR2G is marked as discontinued per onsemi's December 2025 datasheet revision. The NCP1423DMR2 remains the active, recommended version for new designs; both require identical PCB layout and external components, but only the NCP1423DMR2 is supported for ongoing production.
