Product details
Overview
NCP4587DMX31TCG from onsemi is a 150 mA tri-mode CMOS LDO voltage regulator with auto-eco/fast/standby operation modes, 3.1 V fixed output, 120 mV typical dropout at 150 mA (VOUT ≥ 2.6 V), ±1% output accuracy (TA = 25°C), and stable operation with ceramic capacitors. It serves as a low-noise power supply for image sensors and portable camera modules requiring precise, low-quiescent-current regulation.
For engineers reviewing the NCP4587DMX31TCG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include tri-mode current consumption (1.0 µA low-power / 55 µA fast / 0.1 µA standby), AE-pin-controlled mode selection, auto-discharge capability, and XDFN-6 1.2×1.2 mm ultra-thin package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The NCP4587DMX31TCG implements a CMOS-based LDO architecture with integrated N-channel pass transistor, fold-back current limiting, and dual-mode control via AE pin (low = Auto Eco, high = permanent Fast mode). Its internal reference and error amplifier enable ±1% output accuracy over temperature and line variations.
It supports dynamic load transient response optimization through mode switching: Fast mode activates above 8 mA output load (IOUTH) and deactivates below 1–2 mA (IOUTL), while CE pin enables full shutdown with 0.1 µA standby current. The device includes an internal output discharge transistor (D-version feature) activated during disable.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.1 V - eliminates external resistor network; ensures stable bias for 3.3 V-tolerant analog front-ends in image sensors. |
| Max Output Current | 150 mA - sufficient to power single-lane MIPI CSI-2 sensor interfaces or low-power FPGA I/O banks. |
| Dropout Voltage | 120 mV typ. at 150 mA (VOUT ≥ 2.6 V) - enables regulation from 3.22 V input, preserving battery runtime in 3.3 V systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 1.0 µA (Low Power Mode) - extends shelf life and standby time in always-on camera wake-on-motion applications. |
| PSRR | 70 dB at 1 kHz (Fast Mode) - suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC-DC converters feeding digital cores. |
| Accuracy | ±1% at TA = 25°C (VOUT > 2 V) - meets tight tolerance requirements for ADC reference buffers and precision analog signal chains. |
| Package | XDFN-6 (1.2 × 1.2 × 0.4 mm) - ultra-low profile footprint compatible with 0.4 mm pitch assembly and thin mobile camera modules. |
Pinout & Package
XDFN-6 package: 1.2 mm × 1.2 mm body, 0.4 mm height, 0.4 mm pitch, wettable flank terminals, Pb-free plating. Exposed thermal pad (pin 5) connected to GND for enhanced thermal dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 1) | Input supply connection | Accepts 1.4–5.25 V input; requires local 1 µF ceramic decoupling to minimize line transients. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power ground reference | Common return path for VIN, VOUT, CE, and AE; must be low-impedance and tied to thermal pad. |
| CE (Pin 3) | Chip enable (active-high) | Pull-down current source (0.1 µA); connect to VIN if always-on operation required. |
| VOUT (Pin 4) | Regulated output | Delivers 3.1 V ±1%; requires 1 µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin for stability. |
| AE (Pin 5) | Auto Eco mode select | Low = Auto Eco (1.0 µA IQ); high = permanent Fast mode (55 µA IQ, optimized transient response). |
| NC (Pin 6) | No connection | Not internally bonded; must remain unconnected and unpopulated 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) based on load and AE pin state - balances efficiency and responsiveness. |
| Auto-discharge function | Integrated N-channel discharge transistor pulls VOUT to GND during CE deactivation - prevents residual voltage hold-up in multi-rail camera systems. |
| Ceramic-capacitor stability | Stable with ≥0.47 µF X5R/X7R ceramics (no ESR requirement) - simplifies BOM and reduces board area vs. tantalum alternatives. |
| Ultra-thin XDFN package | 0.4 mm max height - enables integration into <1.0 mm total thickness camera modules without mechanical interference. |
| High PSRR in Fast mode | 70 dB @ 1 kHz - maintains clean 3.1 V supply for analog pixel readout circuits amid noisy SoC power domains. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO voltage regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1703T-3102E/MB | Fixed 3.1 V, 250 mA, 6 µA IQ, SOT-23-5 - no tri-mode or auto-discharge; higher quiescent current than NCP4587DMX31TCG low-power mode. | Lacks AE-controlled mode switching and output discharge; suitable only where constant-fast-response is acceptable and board space permits larger SOT-23. | Select when design prioritizes higher output current headroom over ultra-low IQ and compact packaging. |
| Torex XC6219B312MR-G | Fixed 3.1 V, 150 mA, 1.0 µA IQ, SOT-25 - no AE pin, no auto-discharge, no Fast mode; single low-power mode only. | Missing tri-mode flexibility and output discharge; limited to static low-IQ applications without dynamic load transitions. | Select when system load is constant and discharge functionality is handled externally, and SOT-25 footprint is preferred. |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the NCP4587DMX31TCG over temperature?
The NCP4587DMX31TCG provides ±1% output voltage accuracy at TA = 25°C for VOUT > 2 V. Over the full operating temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), accuracy degrades to ±1.5% (−2.5% to +1.5%) for VOUT > 2 V. This is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the datasheet under "Output Voltage" test conditions.
Does the NCP4587DMX31TCG require an external resistor divider for output voltage setting?
No, the NCP4587DMX31TCG is a fixed-output LDO with factory-trimmed 3.1 V regulation. It does not use an external feedback network - the output voltage is internally set and requires no external resistors, simplifying layout and reducing BOM count.
How does the AE pin affect the NCP4587DMX31TCG's quiescent current and transient response?
When AE is low or floating, the NCP4587DMX31TCG operates in Auto Eco mode (1.0 µA IQ) and switches to Fast mode only during load steps >8 mA. When AE is high, it remains permanently in Fast mode (55 µA IQ), delivering superior load transient response at the cost of higher static current.
Is the NCP4587DMX31TCG's output discharge function enabled by default?
Yes - the "D" suffix in NCP4587DMX31TCG denotes the auto-discharge version. When CE is pulled low to disable the regulator, an internal transistor actively discharges the VOUT capacitor to GND, preventing residual voltage that could interfere with system reset sequencing.
What is the minimum input voltage required for the NCP4587DMX31TCG to maintain regulation at full load?
At 150 mA output current and 3.1 V nominal output, the NCP4587DMX31TCG requires VIN ≥ 3.22 V (3.1 V + 120 mV typical dropout) to maintain regulation. The absolute minimum input is 1.4 V, but dropout increases significantly below VOUT + 0.2 V - verified in Figure 5 and Figure 6 (Dropout vs. IOUT).
