Product details
Overview
NCP4589DMX28TCG from onsemi is a 300 mA tri-mode CMOS LDO voltage regulator with 2.8 V fixed output, operating from 1.4 V to 5.25 V input, featuring auto-eco mode switching at light loads (≤2 mA), fast-response mode above 8 mA, and pin-selectable permanent fast mode via AE pin. It delivers ±1% output accuracy at 25°C and supports battery-powered imaging systems requiring low quiescent current and stable low-noise power.
For engineers reviewing the NCP4589DMX28TCG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include dropout voltage (230 mV typ. at 300 mA), PSRR (70 dB at 1 kHz in fast mode), ceramic capacitor compatibility, thermal performance in XDFN package, and tri-mode current consumption trade-offs between 0.1 µA standby, 1.0 µA low-power, and 55 µA fast mode.
Technical Context
The NCP4589DMX28TCG implements a CMOS-based pass transistor architecture with integrated fold-back current limiting and internal reference regulation. Its tri-mode operation is governed by real-time load monitoring: automatic transition between low-power mode (1.0 µA IQ) and fast-response mode (55 µA IGND) occurs at IOUTL = 1–2 mA (light-to-heavy) and IOUTH = 8.0 mA (heavy-to-light), with AE pin enabling forced fast mode independent of load.
It features a dedicated Auto Eco (AE) pin for manual mode control and Chip Enable (CE) pin with 0.4 V/1.0 V logic thresholds, supporting system-level power sequencing. The device maintains stability with ≥1 µF ceramic output capacitors and achieves 70 dB PSRR at 1 kHz only in fast mode, while low-power mode prioritizes ultra-low supply current over transient response.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.8 V with ±1% accuracy at TJ = 25°C, enabling precise biasing of image sensors and RF front-ends. |
| Max Output Current | 300 mA continuous, supporting moderate-power analog/digital subsystems without external boost circuitry. |
| Dropout Voltage | 230 mV typical at 300 mA and 2.8 V output, allowing operation from 3.03 V input - critical for single-cell Li-ion or Li-poly systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 1.0 µA in low-power mode (VOUT ≤ 1.85 V), 55 µA in fast mode, and 0.1 µA in standby - optimized for always-on sensor nodes. |
| PSRR | 70 dB at 1 kHz in fast mode, suppressing switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters in mixed-signal applications. |
| Operating Input Range | 1.4 V to 5.25 V, accommodating wide-input battery chemistries including NiMH, LiFePO₄, and regulated 3.3 V/5 V rails. |
| Thermal Resistance | RJA = 250 °C/W (XDFN package), requiring minimal PCB copper area for thermal management in space-constrained modules. |
Pinout & Package
Package: XDFN6 (1.2 mm × 1.2 mm × 0.4 mm, case 711AA), ultra-thin leadless package with wettable flanks for automated optical inspection and high-density layout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input supply connection | Accepts 1.4–5.25 V input; requires local 1 µF ceramic decoupling placed adjacent to pin for line transient immunity. |
| GND | Power ground reference | Common return path for VIN, VOUT, CE, and AE; must be low-impedance plane to minimize noise coupling. |
| CE | Chip enable control | Active-high logic input (VCEH = 1.0 V min); internal pull-down enables default ON operation when tied to VIN. |
| VOUT | Regulated output | Delivers stable 2.8 V; connects to 1 µF ceramic capacitor near pin to ensure loop stability and load transient response. |
| AE | Auto Eco mode select | Logic-controlled mode selector: low = auto eco (low-IQ), high = forced fast mode (high PSRR/transient response). |
| NC | No connection | Internally unconnected terminal; must remain floating - no routing or soldering required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Tri-mode dynamic operation | Automatically optimizes IQ vs. transient response: switches between 1.0 µA low-power and 55 µA fast mode based on real-time load current thresholds (1–2 mA / 8 mA). |
| Ceramic capacitor stability | Stable with ≥1 µF X5R/X7R ceramic output capacitor - eliminates need for higher-ESR tantalum, reducing BOM cost and board area. |
| Fold-back current protection | Prevents thermal runaway during short-circuit: output voltage and current collapse progressively rather than sustaining fault current. |
| Ultra-thin XDFN package | 1.2 × 1.2 × 0.4 mm footprint enables integration into slim camera modules and wearable sensors where height is constrained to <0.5 mm. |
| Auto-discharge function (D version) | Integrated VOUT-to-GND discharge transistor activates during shutdown, rapidly draining output capacitance to meet system-level power sequencing timing requirements. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO voltage regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1826-2802E/DB | Fixed 2.8 V, 300 mA, 200 mV dropout, 50 µA IQ (no tri-mode), SOT-23-5 package | Lacks auto eco/fast mode switching; simpler control but higher static current in light-load scenarios | Select when design prioritizes lowest possible BOM count and does not require dynamic IQ optimization. |
| TPL7407LADGNR | 2.8 V, 300 mA, 250 mV dropout, 2.5 µA IQ (low-power only), MSOP-8 package | Single-mode ultra-low-IQ regulator; no fast mode or PSRR specification - optimized purely for standby efficiency | Select when system operates almost exclusively at microamp loads and transient response is non-critical. |
Compared with MCP1826-2802E/DB and TPL7407LADGNR, the NCP4589DMX28TCG uniquely balances ultra-low IQ (1.0 µA), high PSRR (70 dB), and dynamic mode switching - making it optimal for battery-powered imaging and sensing systems requiring both long idle life and responsive active performance.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the NCP4589DMX28TCG over temperature?
The NCP4589DMX28TCG provides ±1% output voltage accuracy at TJ = 25°C for VOUT > 2 V. Over the full operating temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), the output voltage variation is ±2.5% (±25 mV for 2.8 V nominal), as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Output Voltage" test conditions at TA = −40°C to 85°C.
Does the NCP4589DMX28TCG require an external resistor network to set output voltage?
No, the NCP4589DMX28TCG is a fixed-output LDO with factory-trimmed 2.8 V regulation. It does not support adjustable output via external feedback resistors. The output voltage is internally set and verified during production test; no external components are needed to configure VOUT.
How does the AE pin affect the NCP4589DMX28TCG's quiescent current and transient response?
When the AE pin is pulled low (≤0.4 V), the NCP4589DMX28TCG operates in auto-eco mode, automatically switching between 1.0 µA low-power and 55 µA fast mode based on load current. When AE is pulled high (≥1.0 V), it forces permanent fast mode - maintaining 55 µA IQ and full 70 dB PSRR regardless of load, optimizing transient response at the cost of higher static current.
Can the NCP4589DMX28TCG be used with a 10 µF ceramic output capacitor?
Yes, the NCP4589DMX28TCG is stable with ceramic output capacitors ≥1 µF, including 10 µF X5R/X7R types. Larger values improve load transient response and reduce output ripple, but must be placed as close as possible to VOUT and GND pins. Avoid parallel combinations of multiple ceramics, which may cause instability per the Application Information section.
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for the NCP4589DMX28TCG?
The absolute maximum input voltage rating for the NCP4589DMX28TCG is 6.0 V, as stated in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. However, the recommended operating input voltage range is 1.4 V to 5.25 V. Operation above 5.25 V risks exceeding safe operating area limits and is not guaranteed for parametric performance or reliability.
