Product details
Overview
NCP170AMX190TCG from onsemi is a CMOS low-dropout linear regulator designed for ultra-low-power portable battery applications. It delivers 150 mA output current with 1.9 V fixed output voltage, 335 mV typical dropout at full load, ±1% output accuracy over −40°C to +85°C, and ultra-low 500 nA typical quiescent current-enabling multi-year battery life in always-on sensors and wearables.
For engineers reviewing the NCP170AMX190TCG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified package mapping (XDFN4-4), validated enable threshold (1.2 V high, 0.4 V low), confirmed active discharge capability (100 Ω), thermal shutdown behavior (175°C trip), and real-world PSRR/noise performance across load and frequency conditions.
Technical Context
The NCP170AMX190TCG integrates a PMOS pass transistor with precision bandgap reference and error amplifier to achieve stable regulation under dynamic load transients. Its active discharge circuit rapidly discharges the output capacitor when EN is pulled low-critical for power sequencing in multi-rail systems.
Designed for ceramic-capacitor stability (≥1 µF), it operates across 2.2 V–5.5 V input while maintaining <20 mV load regulation (0–150 mA) and 0.05%/V line regulation-making it suitable for Li-ion, coin-cell, and energy-harvesting supply rails where headroom and quiescent power are constrained.
Key Specifications

| Dropout Voltage | 335 mV typ. at 150 mA - enables operation down to 2.235 V input with 1.9 V output |
| Quiescent Current | 0.5 µA typ. - extends shelf life and runtime in battery-backed RTCs and IoT endpoints |
| PSRR @ 1 kHz | 57 dB at 150 mA - suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC-DC converters |
| Output Noise | 100 µVRMS (100 Hz–1 MHz) - meets low-noise analog sensor and ADC reference requirements |

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input Power Supply | Accepts 2.2–5.5 V; requires ≥1 µF ceramic input capacitor for stability |
| 2 (GND) | Power Ground | Primary ground return; EPAD internally connected to GND for thermal conduction |

| 4 (OUT) | Regulated Output | Delivers 1.9 V ±1%; requires ≥1 µF ceramic output capacitor with low ESR |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low IQ | 0.5 µA typical - reduces standby power loss by >95% vs. standard LDOs in always-on nodes |
| Active Output Discharge | 100 Ω typical resistance - discharges output to <0.1 V within 1 ms after disable, preventing back-powering |
| Ceramic-Capacitor Stable | Stable with 1 µF X5R/X7R MLCCs - eliminates need for costly tantalum or electrolytic capacitors |
| Thermal Shutdown | 175°C trip with 25°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload without latch-up |
| Over-Current Protection | 225 mA short-circuit limit - limits fault current while allowing brief inrush during startup |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6219B192MR-G | Same 1.9 V output, 150 mA, 0.6 µA IQ, but no active discharge; SOT-25 package (larger footprint) | Lacks active discharge - unsuitable for strict power sequencing; requires larger PCB area | Choose if active discharge is unnecessary and SOT-25 assembly infrastructure exists |
| Richtek RT9080-19GB | 1.9 V, 200 mA, 0.8 µA IQ, no active discharge, 250 mV dropout at 150 mA; WDFN-6 package | Lower dropout improves efficiency at low VIN, but higher IQ and no discharge limit use in deep-sleep systems | Prefer for higher-current loads where 0.3 µA extra IQ is acceptable and discharge not required |
Compared with XC6219B192MR-G and RT9080-19GB, the NCP170AMX190TCG uniquely combines sub-µA quiescent current, guaranteed active discharge, and XDFN4's 1.0 mm² footprint-making it optimal for space-constrained, multi-state battery devices requiring deterministic power-down behavior.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCP170AMX190TCG?
The NCP170AMX190TCG has an absolute maximum input voltage of 6.0 V. Operation above this level risks permanent damage. The recommended operating range is 2.2 V to 5.5 V, ensuring stable 1.9 V output across all valid conditions. This range accommodates single-cell Li-ion (4.2 V max), two-cell alkaline (3.2 V fresh), and energy-harvesting sources without external clamping.
Does the NCP170AMX190TCG include active output discharge functionality?
Yes, the "A" suffix in NCP170AMX190TCG explicitly denotes the active discharge version. When the EN pin is driven low, an internal 100 Ω switch connects OUT to GND, discharging the output capacitor to <0.1 V within 1 ms. This prevents back-powering of upstream circuitry and ensures clean power-down sequencing in multi-rail systems.
What is the thermal shutdown behavior of the NCP170AMX190TCG?
The NCP170AMX190TCG triggers thermal shutdown at 175°C junction temperature and remains latched off until the die cools by at least 25°C (hysteresis), resuming regulation at ~150°C. This protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. The XDFN4 package's 250°C/W junction-to-air thermal resistance requires adequate copper pour for continuous 150 mA operation above 60°C ambient.
Can the NCP170AMX190TCG be used with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes-the NCP170AMX190TCG is fully stable with 1.0 µF or greater X5R/X7R ceramic capacitors on the output. No ESR requirements or external compensation are needed. This eliminates bulkier, less reliable tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors and simplifies layout in space-constrained designs like hearables and medical patches.
What is the enable pin logic configuration for the NCP170AMX190TCG?
The EN pin is active-high with VENH ≥ 1.2 V (minimum) and VENL ≤ 0.4 V (maximum). It draws only 10 nA, making it compatible with weak GPIOs or open-drain controllers. Pulling EN below 0.4 V disables regulation and activates active discharge; pulling above 1.2 V enables normal operation with fast turn-on (<10 µs).
