Product details
Overview
NCP4588DSQ25T1G from onsemi is a 200 mA, 2.5 V fixed-output CMOS LDO linear voltage regulator in SC−70 package, featuring capacitor-free stability, 270 mV dropout at 200 mA, <9.5 µA quiescent current, and 60 dB PSRR at 1 kHz - designed for low-power portable electronics requiring high efficiency and minimal BOM count.
For engineers reviewing the NCP4588DSQ25T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include output capacitor elimination capability, ultra-low IQ, auto-discharge functionality, thermal performance in SC−70, and compatibility with 1.4–5.25 V input rails in space-constrained battery-powered systems.
Technical Context
The NCP4588DSQ25T1G implements a CMOS pass transistor architecture enabling stable regulation without an output capacitor, reducing system-level component count and board area. Its internal bandgap reference and error amplifier deliver ±1% output accuracy over −40°C to +85°C.
It integrates active chip enable (CE) logic with 1.0 V high-threshold and 0.4 V low-threshold, plus an internal N-channel discharge transistor (D-version feature) that rapidly sinks VOUT to GND during shutdown - critical for power sequencing in multi-rail portable devices.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5 V ±1% (ensures precise biasing for 2.5 V logic, ADC references, and RF front-end ICs) |
| Max Output Current | 200 mA continuous (supports moderate-power sensors, microcontrollers, and audio codecs) |
| Dropout Voltage | 270 mV @ 200 mA (enables operation down to VIN = 2.77 V, extending battery runtime in single-cell Li-ion/Li-poly systems) |
| Quiescent Current | <9.5 µA (minimizes standby drain in always-on subsystems such as real-time clocks or wake-up controllers) |
| PSRR | 60 dB @ 1 kHz, VOUT ≥ 2.2 V (suppresses switching noise from DC-DC converters feeding the LDO input) |
| Line Regulation | 0.02%/V typical (maintains tight output stability across wide input voltage swings common in battery discharge profiles) |
| Thermal Resistance | RJA = 263°C/W (SC−70 package; requires minimal PCB copper for thermal relief in ambient ≤ 60°C) |
Pinout & Package
Package: SC−70−5 (Case 419A−02), 1.9 mm × 1.3 mm × 0.9 mm, Pb−Free, surface-mount.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input supply connection | Accepts 1.4–5.25 V; requires 100 nF ceramic decoupling placed adjacent to pin for optimal transient response |
| GND | Power ground reference | Low-impedance return path; must be routed with short, wide trace to minimize noise coupling into regulation loop |
| CE | Active-high enable control | Pulled internally to GND; connect to VIN if always-on operation required; enables fast power gating in sleep/wake cycles |
| VOUT | Regulated output | Delivers stable 2.5 V; supports optional 0.1–10 µF ceramic output capacitor for large load transients |
| NC | No connection | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - no external tie or routing permitted |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Capacitor-free operation | Stable with zero output capacitance - eliminates COUT footprint, cost, and aging-related drift in wearables and hearing aids |
| Auto-discharge function | Integrated N-ch discharge FET pulls VOUT to GND within microseconds upon CE deactivation - prevents back-powering of upstream circuitry |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | <9.5 µA IQ enables >1-year battery life in coin-cell–powered IoT endpoints with periodic wake-up intervals |
| High PSRR at 1 kHz | 60 dB rejection of ripple from switching regulators allows clean 2.5 V rail generation directly from noisy DC-DC outputs |
| Wide input voltage range | 1.4–5.25 V operation supports direct connection to single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2 V), NiMH (1.2 V × 2), or USB-powered systems |
Applications
| Smart Wearables | Portable Medical Sensors |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-2502E/TT | 250 mA rated, 6 µA IQ, but requires minimum 1 µF output capacitor; no auto-discharge | Lacks VOUT discharge path - unsuitable where back-powering must be prevented during power-down | Select when lowest IQ is critical and output capacitor is acceptable; verify stability with chosen COUT ESR |
| TNIV5025002R | 200 mA, 2.5 V, 12 µA IQ, SC−70, no auto-discharge; PSRR = 55 dB @ 1 kHz | Lower PSRR and no discharge FET limit use in noise-sensitive or strict sequencing applications | Consider for cost-sensitive designs where discharge and high PSRR are non-critical; validate thermal margin at full load |
Compared with MCP1700T-2502E/TT and TNIV5025002R, the NCP4588DSQ25T1G uniquely combines capacitor-free stability, auto-discharge, and 60 dB PSRR in SC−70 - making it the only option among the three suitable for compact, sequenced, noise-immune 2.5 V rails in battery-constrained systems.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the NCP4588DSQ25T1G over temperature?
The NCP4588DSQ25T1G maintains output voltage within ±1.5% over −40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. At 25°C, tolerance is tighter: ±1.0%. This is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Output Voltage" with test condition "−40°C ≤ TA ≤ 85°C" and VOUT > 2.0 V, ensuring reliable 2.5 V regulation across industrial and consumer operating ranges.
Does the NCP4588DSQ25T1G require an output capacitor for stability?
No, the NCP4588DSQ25T1G is explicitly designed to be stable with zero output capacitance - a core feature confirmed in the datasheet's title, features list, and Figure 1 schematic annotation ("output capacitor may be omitted"). While adding a 0.1–10 µF ceramic capacitor improves large-signal load transient response, it is never required for loop stability.
What is the purpose of the NC pin on the NCP4588DSQ25T1G SC−70 package?
The NC (No Connection) pin on the NCP4588DSQ25T1G is an unconnected internal terminal. Per the Pin Function Description table, it has no electrical function and must remain unconnected on the PCB. Routing, soldering, or tying this pin to any net - including GND or VIN - violates the device's validated layout and may cause malfunction or reliability issues.
How does the auto-discharge feature of the NCP4588DSQ25T1G operate?
The NCP4588DSQ25T1G (D-version) integrates an internal N-channel MOSFET between VOUT and GND. When the CE pin is driven low, this transistor turns on and actively discharges the output node. As shown in Figures 42–44, VOUT falls rapidly - typically within microseconds - preventing residual voltage from back-powering downstream circuitry during power-down sequences.
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for the NCP4588DSQ25T1G?
The absolute maximum input voltage for the NCP4588DSQ25T1G is 6.0 V, as stated in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. However, for reliable continuous operation, the recommended input range is 1.4 V to 5.25 V. Exceeding 5.25 V risks exceeding safe operating area limits, especially at elevated temperatures or full load, and may trigger thermal shutdown or degrade long-term reliability.
