Product details
Overview
NCP4589DMX18TCG from onsemi is a 300 mA tri-mode CMOS LDO voltage regulator with 1.8 V fixed output, operating from 1.4 V to 5.25 V input. It features automatic switching between low-power (1.0 µA quiescent current at VOUT ≤ 1.85 V), fast-response (55 µA), and standby (0.1 µA) modes based on load current, and includes Auto Eco (AE) and chip enable (CE) control pins. It is used in portable image sensors and battery-powered camera modules where ultra-low quiescent current and fast transient response are critical.
For engineers reviewing the NCP4589DMX18TCG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 230 mV dropout at 300 mA/2.8 V, ±1% output accuracy above 2 V, 70 dB PSRR at 1 kHz in fast mode, stable operation with ceramic capacitors, and XDFN-6 1.2×1.2×0.4 mm package for space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The NCP4589DMX18TCG implements a tri-mode architecture: low-power mode activates below ~1–2 mA load (quiescent current ≤1.0 µA), fast mode engages above ~8 mA (supply current 55 µA, PSRR 70 dB @ 1 kHz), and standby mode applies when CE = 0 V (0.1 µA). Mode transition thresholds are asymmetric-switch-over from light to heavy load occurs at IOUTH = 8.0 mA (typ.), while return to low-power mode triggers at IOUTL = 1.0–2.0 mA (typ.).
It integrates fold-back current limiting, output discharge capability (D-version), and operates stably with ≥1 µF ceramic output capacitance. The AE pin allows forced entry into fast mode (AE ≥ 1.0 V) or auto-eco operation (AE ≤ 0.4 V), decoupling dynamic performance from enable control.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8 V, ±1% accuracy (VOUT > 2 V, TJ = 25 °C); ±1.5% over −40 °C to +85 °C |
| Max Output Current | 300 mA continuous; short-circuit current limit of 50 mA protects against sustained overload |
| Dropout Voltage | 230 mV typical at IOUT = 300 mA, VOUT = 2.8 V; enables regulation from VIN as low as 2.03 V |
| Quiescent Current | 1.0 µA in low-power mode (VOUT ≤ 1.85 V); 55 µA in fast mode; 0.1 µA in standby |
| PSRR | 70 dB at 1 kHz in fast mode; ensures robust noise rejection for sensitive analog/RF rails |
| Line Regulation | 0.02%/V typical in fast mode; minimizes output variation across wide input range (1.4–5.25 V) |
| Thermal Resistance | RJA = 250 °C/W (XDFN-6); requires minimal PCB copper for thermal management at full load |
Pinout & Package
XDFN-6 package: 1.2 mm × 1.2 mm × 0.4 mm body, 0.4 mm pitch, wettable flank terminals, Pb-free, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input supply pin | Accepts 1.4–5.25 V; requires local 1 µF ceramic decoupling capacitor |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for input, output, and internal circuitry; must be low-impedance |
| CE | Chip enable control | Active-high logic input; internal pull-down; tie to VIN if always enabled |
| VOUT | Regulated output | Delivers stable 1.8 V; supports ≥1 µF ceramic output capacitor for stability |
| AE | Auto Eco mode select | Forces fast mode if ≥1.0 V; enables auto-switching if ≤0.4 V; no external pull required |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Tri-mode power optimization | Automatically selects low-power (1.0 µA), fast (55 µA), or standby (0.1 µA) mode to minimize total system energy use across dynamic load profiles |

| Fast transient response | Sub-10 µs recovery from 1–50 mA load steps (AE = VIN) ensures stable power for high-speed image capture circuits |
| Stable with ceramic capacitors | Eliminates need for tantalum or electrolytic output caps-reducing BOM cost, size, and aging-related failure risk |
| Integrated output discharge | D-version includes active VOUT-to-GND transistor, enabling rapid output discharge during shutdown for safe sequencing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO voltage regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1804T-1802I/OT | Fixed 1.8 V, 150 mA max, 1.8 µA IQ, no tri-mode or AE pin | Lacks auto-switching and fast transient capability; suited for static low-current loads only | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs dynamic performance needs and load < 150 mA |
| TPL7407LPGEDR | 1.8 V, 300 mA, 25 µA IQ, no low-power mode or AE control | Single-mode design; higher IQ than NCP4589DMX18TCG low-power mode; no output discharge | Choose for simpler enable-only control and where 25 µA standby is acceptable |
Compared with MCP1804T-1802I/OT and TPL7407LPGEDR, the NCP4589DMX18TCG uniquely delivers sub-µA quiescent current *with* 300 mA capability and adaptive tri-mode operation-enabling both ultra-long battery life and responsive performance in the same design.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the NCP4589DMX18TCG over temperature?
The NCP4589DMX18TCG provides ±1% output voltage accuracy at TJ = 25 °C for VOUT > 2 V. For the 1.8 V version, the datasheet specifies ±20 mV at 25 °C and ±30 mV over −40 °C to +85 °C ambient. This corresponds to ±1.11% and ±1.67% tolerance respectively-tight enough for image sensor core rail requirements without external trimming.
Does the NCP4589DMX18TCG require an external resistor to set output voltage?
No, the NCP4589DMX18TCG is a fixed-output device with factory-trimmed 1.8 V regulation. It does not support adjustable output via external resistors. All variants-including NCP4589DMX18TCG-are preset at manufacture and verified per Electrical Characteristics tables in the datasheet.
How does the AE pin affect transient response in the NCP4589DMX18TCG?
When AE is pulled high (≥1.0 V), the NCP4589DMX18TCG remains in fast mode regardless of load, delivering 70 dB PSRR and sub-10 µs load transient recovery. When AE is low (≤0.4 V), it auto-switches to low-power mode below ~2 mA, increasing transient settling time but reducing IQ to 1.0 µA-enabling optimal trade-off between efficiency and responsiveness.
Is the NCP4589DMX18TCG compatible with 1 µF ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, the NCP4589DMX18TCG is explicitly characterized and guaranteed stable with ≥1 µF ceramic output capacitors, as confirmed in the Application Information section and Typical Characteristics (e.g., Figure 51–70 load transients). Tantalum or high-ESR capacitors are discouraged due to potential instability.
What is the thermal performance of the NCP4589DMX18TCG in its XDFN-6 package?
The NCP4589DMX18TCG in XDFN-6 has a junction-to-air thermal resistance (RJA) of 250 °C/W. At 300 mA output and 230 mV dropout (70 mW dissipation), this yields ~17.5 °C rise above ambient-well within the −40 °C to +85 °C operating range without heatsinking, assuming standard 2-layer PCB layout with adequate copper pour.
