Product details
Overview
NCP4587DSN33T1G from onsemi is a 150 mA tri-mode CMOS LDO voltage regulator with 3.3 V fixed output, operating from 1.4 V to 5.25 V input, featuring auto-switching between low-power (1.0 µA) and fast-response (55 µA) modes based on load current, and optimized for battery-powered portable electronics requiring stable low-noise power delivery.
For engineers reviewing the NCP4587DSN33T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include its 120 mV typical dropout at 150 mA (VOUT ≥ 2.6 V), ±1% output accuracy over temperature, 70 dB PSRR in fast mode, ceramic-capacitor stability, and integrated auto-discharge function enabled by the D-series variant.
Technical Context
The NCP4587DSN33T1G implements a tri-mode architecture: low-power mode (<1.0 µA quiescent current) below ~1–2 mA load, automatic transition to fast-response mode above ~8 mA, and permanent fast mode when AE pin is high. Its internal N-channel pass transistor enables low dropout and supports output discharge via an integrated GND-switch during disable.
It operates across −40°C to +85°C ambient, delivers ±1% output accuracy for VOUT > 2 V at 25°C, maintains 0.02%/V line regulation in fast mode, and includes fold-back current limiting and ESD protection (2 kV HBM). The device is stable with 1 µF ceramic output capacitors and requires no external compensation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3 V, ±1% accuracy at 25°C ensures precise rail generation for MCU I/O, sensors, and RF front-ends |
| Max Output Current | 150 mA continuous, sufficient for powering microcontrollers, image sensors, and low-power wireless transceivers |
| Dropout Voltage | 120 mV typical at 150 mA (VOUT ≥ 2.6 V), enabling operation from single-cell Li-ion or 3.6 V supply with margin |
| Quiescent Current | 1.0 µA in low-power mode, extending battery life in standby/sleep states of portable devices |
| PSRR | 70 dB at 1 kHz in fast mode, suppressing switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters |

Pinout & Package
Package: SOT-23-5 (Case 1212), Pb-free, 2.7 mm × 2.5 mm footprint with 0.95 mm pitch; suitable for space-constrained portable designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input supply pin | Accepts 1.4–5.25 V input; requires local 1 µF ceramic decoupling to minimize line transients |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for input, output, and internal circuitry; must be low-impedance and adjacent to VIN/VOUT |
| CE | Chip enable (active-high) | Enables/disables regulator output; internal pull-down allows tie-to-VIN for always-on operation |
| VOUT | Regulated output | Delivers stable 3.3 V; connects to 1 µF ceramic capacitor near pin for stability and transient response |
| AE | Auto Eco mode control | Low = auto-switching mode; high = permanent fast mode; floating defaults to auto mode |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-3302E/TT | Fixed 3.3 V, 250 mA, 1.6 µA IQ, no AE pin or auto-discharge; SOT-23-3 package (no CE/AE pins) | Lacks enable, mode control, and output discharge-suitable only for simple always-on rails | Select if board space is critical and full feature set is unnecessary; verify CE/AE functionality not required in system |
| TCS2117-330MWR | 3.3 V, 200 mA, 2.5 µA IQ, no AE pin, no auto-discharge, but includes thermal shutdown and reverse-current protection | Higher current capability but no tri-mode optimization; lacks integrated discharge for sequencing | Prefer when thermal safety is prioritized over ultra-low IQ; confirm sequencing requirements do not mandate discharge |
Compared with MCP1700T-3302E/TT and TCS2117-330MWR, the NCP4587DSN33T1G uniquely combines ultra-low quiescent current, programmable fast-mode response, and integrated output discharge in a 5-pin SOT-23-enabling advanced power management in space-constrained, battery-sensitive designs where sequencing and noise rejection are critical.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the NCP4587DSN33T1G over temperature?
The NCP4587DSN33T1G provides ±1% output voltage accuracy at 25°C for VOUT > 2 V. Over the full operating temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), the specification tightens to ±1.5% (x0.975 to x1.015) for 3.3 V output, ensuring reliable logic-level compatibility and sensor biasing across environmental conditions. This tolerance is verified per the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the datasheet.
Does the NCP4587DSN33T1G require an external capacitor for stability?
Yes, the NCP4587DSN33T1G requires a minimum 1 µF ceramic capacitor (X5R or X7R) placed directly at the VOUT pin to ensure stability and optimal transient response. The datasheet explicitly states it is stable with ceramic capacitors and warns against using high-ESR tantalum types, which may cause oscillation. Input also requires a 1 µF ceramic capacitor close to VIN and GND.
How does the AE pin affect the operation of the NCP4587DSN33T1G?
The AE (Auto Eco) pin on the NCP4587DSN33T1G controls the operational mode: when pulled low or left floating, the device automatically switches between low-power mode (<1.0 µA) and fast-response mode (~55 µA) based on load current thresholds (~1–2 mA down, ~8 mA up); when driven high, it forces permanent fast mode for consistent transient performance regardless of load.
Is the NCP4587DSN33T1G compatible with lead-free soldering processes?
Yes, the NCP4587DSN33T1G is a Pb-free device in a RoHS-compliant SOT-23-5 package (Case 1212) and is qualified for standard lead-free reflow soldering profiles per J-STD-020. The package dimensions and thermal characteristics on page 19 of the datasheet confirm its suitability for modern assembly processes, including peak temperatures up to 260°C.
What protection features are integrated into the NCP4587DSN33T1G?
The NCP4587DSN33T1G integrates fold-back current limiting, thermal shutdown, and ESD protection (2000 V HBM, 200 V MM). It also features an internal output discharge transistor (D-series specific) that rapidly drains VOUT capacitance during shutdown-preventing back-powering of upstream circuits and supporting safe power sequencing in complex systems.
