Product details
Overview
NCP4587DMX30TCG from onsemi is a 150 mA tri-mode CMOS LDO voltage regulator with 3.0 V fixed output, ultra-low dropout (120 mV typ. at 150 mA), ±1% output accuracy (VOUT > 2 V), and auto Eco/fast mode switching via AE pin. It operates from 1.4 V to 5.25 V input and delivers stable power to noise-sensitive analog rails in portable imaging systems.
For engineers reviewing the NCP4587DMX30TCG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 0.4 mm ultra-thin XDFN-6 package, 1.0 µA low-power mode quiescent current, fast transient response under load steps, and integrated output discharge function for controlled shutdown in battery-powered cameras and image sensors.
Technical Context
The NCP4587DMX30TCG implements a CMOS-based pass transistor architecture with dual operating modes: low-power Eco mode (1.0 µA IQ) below 2.0 mA load and fast-response mode (55 µA IGND) above 8.0 mA load, triggered automatically or forced via AE pin. Its internal fold-back current limit protects against short circuits while maintaining stability with 1 µF ceramic output capacitors.
It features an active output discharge path (D-version) activated during disable, enabling rapid VOUT collapse, and supports high PSRR (70 dB at 1 kHz in fast mode) for rejecting supply ripple in mixed-signal camera modules where clean 3.0 V bias is required for image sensor analog front-ends.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.0 V ±1% (at VOUT > 2 V, TJ = 25°C); ensures precise biasing of 3.0 V image sensor cores and ADC reference rails. |
| Max Output Current | 150 mA continuous; sufficient to power entire CMOS image sensor subsystems including analog and digital blocks. |
| Dropout Voltage | 120 mV typical at 150 mA (VOUT ≥ 2.6 V); enables operation down to VIN = 3.12 V, extending battery runtime in single-cell Li-ion systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 1.0 µA in Low Power Mode; minimizes standby drain in always-on camera wake-up circuits. |
| PSRR | 70 dB at 1 kHz (Fast Mode); suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC-DC converters feeding digital logic. |
| Operating Input Range | 1.4 V to 5.25 V; compatible with wide-input PMIC outputs and direct connection to 3.3 V or 3.6 V battery rails. |
| Thermal Resistance | RJA = 250 °C/W (XDFN-6); requires minimal PCB copper area for thermal management in space-constrained camera modules. |
Pinout & Package
XDFN-6 (1.2 mm × 1.2 mm × 0.4 mm) ultra-thin leadless package with wettable flanks; optimized for automated optical inspection (AOI) and high-density portable PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input supply pin | Accepts 1.4–5.25 V input; must be decoupled with 1 µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin 1 for line transient immunity. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for input/output paths; connects directly to thermal pad for junction-to-board heat transfer. |
| CE | Chip enable (active-high) | Pulls up internally; tie to VIN if always-on operation required; enables system-level power sequencing control. |
| VOUT | Regulated output | Delivers stable 3.0 V; requires 1 µF ceramic capacitor at pin 4 to ensure stability and dynamic response. |
| AE | Auto Eco mode select | Logic high forces permanent Fast Mode (55 µA IGND); floating or low enables automatic Eco/Fast switching based on load current. |
| NC | No connection | Pin 5 is unconnected die bond site; must remain unpopulated and unconnected on PCB. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Tri-mode operation | Automatically switches between Low Power (1.0 µA), Fast (55 µA), and Standby (0.1 µA) modes-reducing average system power without firmware intervention. |
| Integrated output discharge | Active NMOS discharge path pulls VOUT to GND during CE deactivation-preventing floating rail issues and enabling safe hot-swap in modular camera designs. |
| Ceramic-capacitor stability | Stable with ≥1 µF X5R/X7R ceramic output capacitors-eliminates need for bulky tantalum or electrolytic caps in thin-profile camera PCBs. |
| High-accuracy output | ±1% initial tolerance (VOUT > 2 V) and ±2.5% over −40°C to +85°C-meets tight analog supply requirements for image sensor analog signal chains. |
| Ultra-low profile packaging | XDFN-6 (0.4 mm height) fits within 1.2 mm × 1.2 mm footprint-enables placement directly beneath stacked camera modules or under display bezels. |
Applications
| Camera Image Sensor Biasing | Portable Medical Imaging Devices |

| Wearable Camera Modules | Industrial Machine Vision Sensors |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS7A0530PDBVR | 200 mA output, 0.9 µA IQ, but no AE pin or auto mode switching; fixed 3.0 V, SOT-23-5 package (1.6 mm × 2.9 mm). | Lacks tri-mode intelligence and output discharge; suited for simpler always-on bias rails without dynamic load profiling. | Select when board space allows larger SOT-23 and system firmware handles mode control externally. |
| MCP1703T-3002E/MB | 250 mA output, 2.5 µA IQ, no AE pin; 3.0 V fixed, SOT-23-5; includes thermal shutdown but no output discharge. | Higher quiescent current and no fast transient optimization; better for cost-sensitive industrial controls than imaging. | Choose for non-critical analog rails where 2.5 µA IQ and basic regulation suffice, and output discharge is unnecessary. |
Compared with TPS7A0530PDBVR and MCP1703T-3002E/MB, the NCP4587DMX30TCG uniquely combines ultra-low profile (0.4 mm), auto Eco/Fast mode switching, and integrated output discharge-making it the only option qualified for space- and noise-constrained camera sensor biasing where dynamic power management and controlled shutdown are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the NCP4587DMX30TCG over temperature?
The NCP4587DMX30TCG maintains ±1% output voltage accuracy at TJ = 25°C for VOUT > 2 V. Over the full operating temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), its output voltage deviation is specified as ±2.5% for VOUT > 2 V, ensuring reliable 3.0 V regulation in demanding environmental conditions encountered in outdoor or industrial camera deployments. This specification is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the official datasheet.
Does the NCP4587DMX30TCG require external components for stability?
Yes-the NCP4587DMX30TCG requires a minimum 1 µF ceramic capacitor on both input (CIN) and output (COUT) pins, placed as close as possible to the device. The datasheet explicitly states that tantalum capacitors with high ESR may cause oscillation, and parallel ceramic capacitors can destabilize the loop. No additional compensation components are needed, as the device is internally compensated for use with low-ESR ceramic capacitors.
How does the AE pin affect the operation of the NCP4587DMX30TCG?
The AE (Auto Eco) pin on the NCP4587DMX30TCG determines its operating mode: when AE is low or floating, the device automatically switches between Low Power Mode (<2 mA load) and Fast Mode (>8 mA load); when AE is high, it remains permanently in Fast Mode regardless of load. This enables design flexibility-system firmware can force fast response for burst imaging or let hardware manage power autonomously during idle periods.
What is the purpose of the NC pin on the NCP4587DMX30TCG XDFN-6 package?
Pin 5 of the NCP4587DMX30TCG in XDFN-6 package is designated NC (No Connection)-it corresponds to an unused die bond site and must remain unconnected on the PCB. The datasheet's Pin Function Description table (page 2) confirms this terminal has no internal connection, and routing or soldering to it may compromise thermal performance or cause unintended leakage paths.
Is the NCP4587DMX30TCG suitable for automotive applications?
The NCP4587DMX30TCG is not AEC-Q100 qualified and is not recommended for automotive safety-critical systems. While it operates across −40°C to +85°C and meets general industrial reliability standards, onsemi does not list it in their AEC-Q100 product portfolio. For automotive camera modules, designers should select AEC-Q100 qualified alternatives such as the NCV8170 series unless the application falls outside functional safety scope (e.g., non-safety infotainment displays).
