Product details
Overview
NCP4587DMX18TCG from onsemi is a 150 mA tri-mode CMOS LDO voltage regulator with 1.8 V fixed output, ultra-thin XDFN-6 (1.2 × 1.2 mm, 0.4 mm height) package, ±1% output accuracy at 25°C, 120 mV typical dropout at 150 mA (VOUT > 2.6 V), and auto Eco/fast mode switching for portable power management in image sensors and battery-powered cameras.
For engineers reviewing the NCP4587DMX18TCG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, real-world load transient behavior, and confirmed alternative options for low-quiescent-power 1.8 V regulation in space-constrained embedded systems.
Technical Context
The NCP4587DMX18TCG implements a CMOS-based LDO architecture with three operational modes: low-power mode (1.0 µA IQ), fast-response mode (55 µA IGND), and standby mode (0.1 µA ISTB), selected via CE and AE pins. It uses an internal N-channel pass transistor with 50 mΩ typical on-resistance and fold-back current limiting.
Its tri-mode operation dynamically adapts to load changes-switching from low-power to fast mode when output current exceeds 8 mA (IOUTH), and reverting below 2 mA (IOUTL). The device achieves 70 dB PSRR at 1 kHz in fast mode and remains stable with 1 µF ceramic output capacitors without requiring ESR tuning.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8 V ±1% (at TJ = 25°C, IOUT = 5 mA), enabling precise biasing of 1.8 V logic and image sensor analog blocks. |
| Max Output Current | 150 mA continuous - sufficient to power multiple low-power peripherals or a single high-resolution image sensor core. |
| Dropout Voltage | 120 mV typical at 150 mA (VIN ≥ 2.6 V) - supports operation down to VIN = 1.92 V while maintaining regulation. |
| Quiescent Current | 1.0 µA in low-power mode - extends battery life in always-on camera wake-up circuits. |
| PSRR | 70 dB at 1 kHz (fast mode) - suppresses noise from noisy DC-DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Thermal Resistance | RJA = 250 °C/W (XDFN) - requires minimal PCB copper area for thermal relief in handheld devices. |
| Operating Input Range | 1.4 V to 5.25 V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V), LiFePO₄ (2.5–3.65 V), or dual-cell alkaline inputs. |
Pinout & Package
XDFN-6 (1.2 mm × 1.2 mm, 0.4 mm height, wettable flank), Pb-free, RoHS-compliant surface-mount package optimized for automated optical inspection and fine-pitch reflow.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input supply connection | Accepts 1.4–5.25 V input; requires local 1 µF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed adjacent to pin 4. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for input/output currents; must be connected to low-impedance ground plane under package. |
| CE | Chip enable (active-high) | Pull to VIN to enable; internal 0.1 µA pull-down allows direct tie to logic high without external resistor. |
| VOUT | Regulated output | Delivers stable 1.8 V; connects to 1 µF ceramic capacitor near pin 6 and load; includes auto-discharge transistor (D-version). |
| AE | Auto Eco mode select | Low/floating = auto Eco (low-IQ); high = permanent fast mode (55 µA, improved transient response). |
| NC | No connection | Pin 5 is internally unconnected; must remain floating or grounded per layout best practice - no external connection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Tri-mode dynamic current optimization | Switches between 1.0 µA (low-power), 55 µA (fast), and 0.1 µA (standby) based on load and AE pin state - eliminates manual mode selection. |
| Auto-discharge function (D-version) | Internal VOUT-to-GND transistor activates during shutdown, discharging output capacitance rapidly - prevents residual voltage from interfering with system reset sequencing. |
| Ceramic-capacitor stability | Stable with ≥1 µF X5R/X7R ceramic output capacitor (no ESR requirement) - reduces BOM count and board area vs. tantalum alternatives. |
| Ultra-thin XDFN package | 1.2 × 1.2 mm footprint, 0.4 mm max height - enables integration into slim camera modules and wearable imaging subsystems. |
| High PSRR in fast mode | 70 dB at 1 kHz improves noise immunity when powered from switched regulators - critical for analog signal chains in image sensors. |
Applications
| Camera Image Sensor Biasing | Portable Medical Imaging Module |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO voltage regulation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-1802E/TT | Fixed 1.8 V, 250 mA, 1.6 µA IQ, SOT-23-3, no AE/CE control or auto-discharge. | Lacks tri-mode switching and active discharge - suitable only for static, non-battery-critical loads. | Select when board space permits SOT-23 and system does not require fast transient recovery or controlled shutdown discharge. |
| Torex XC6210B182MR-G | Fixed 1.8 V, 150 mA, 1.0 µA IQ, SOT-25, no AE pin or auto-discharge; PSRR = 55 dB @ 1 kHz. | Lower PSRR and no discharge transistor - less suitable for noise-sensitive imaging or strict reset timing. | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where 15 dB PSRR margin loss and absence of discharge are acceptable trade-offs. |
Compared with MCP1700T-1802E/TT and XC6210B182MR-G, the NCP4587DMX18TCG uniquely combines ultra-low IQ, fast transient response, and integrated auto-discharge in a 1.2×1.2 mm XDFN package - making it the only option among the three qualified for battery-powered imaging systems requiring both long standby life and deterministic shutdown behavior.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the NCP4587DMX18TCG over temperature?
The NCP4587DMX18TCG provides ±1% output voltage accuracy at TJ = 25°C. Over the full operating temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), output voltage deviation is ±2.5% for VOUT > 2 V - but since this is a 1.8 V version, the spec is ±30 mV (±1.67%) across temperature, confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the datasheet.
Does the NCP4587DMX18TCG require an external resistor on the AE pin?
No. The AE pin of the NCP4587DMX18TCG has no internal pull-up or pull-down; it is a high-impedance CMOS input. To enable Auto Eco mode, leave AE floating or tie it to GND through a high-value resistor (≥1 MΩ). To force permanent Fast Mode, connect AE directly to VIN - no external resistor is required for either configuration.
Is the NCP4587DMX18TCG compatible with 1 µF ceramic output capacitors?
Yes. The NCP4587DMX18TCG is explicitly characterized and guaranteed stable with 1 µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitors (COUT), as stated in the Features list and Application Information section. Unlike many older LDOs, it imposes no minimum ESR requirement, simplifying design and reducing component count.
How does the auto-discharge feature of the NCP4587DMX18TCG operate?
The "D" suffix in NCP4587DMX18TCG indicates integrated auto-discharge: when CE is pulled low (disable), an internal NMOS transistor between VOUT and GND turns on, actively discharging the output capacitor. This ensures VOUT falls rapidly to <100 mV within milliseconds - critical for reliable system-level reset sequencing in camera and sensor applications.
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCP4587DMX18TCG?
The absolute maximum input voltage for the NCP4587DMX18TCG is 6.0 V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table (page 2). However, the recommended operating input range is 1.4 V to 5.25 V. Operation above 5.25 V risks exceeding safe operating area limits and is not guaranteed for reliability or parametric performance.
