Product details
Overview
NCP4589DMX33TCG from onsemi is a 300 mA tri-mode CMOS LDO voltage regulator with fixed 3.3 V output, ultra-low quiescent current (1.0 µA in low-power mode), 230 mV dropout at 300 mA, and ±1% output accuracy. It operates from 1.4 V to 5.25 V input and is designed for power-sensitive portable imaging systems requiring fast transient response and automatic eco-mode switching.
For engineers reviewing the NCP4589DMX33TCG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include tri-mode current consumption (1.0 µA / 55 µA / 0.1 µA), XDFN-6 package thermal performance (RJA = 250 °C/W), 70 dB PSRR at 1 kHz, and auto-eco/fast mode transition thresholds (IOUTL = 1.0–2.0 mA, IOUTH = 8.0 mA).
Technical Context
The NCP4589DMX33TCG implements a CMOS-based LDO architecture with dual operational modes controlled by the AE pin: Auto Eco mode (ultra-low IQ) and Fast mode (high PSRR, rapid load transient response). Its internal N-channel pass transistor enables low dropout and stable operation with 1 µF ceramic output capacitors.
Mode switching is fully autonomous-transitioning to Fast mode when load exceeds 8 mA and reverting to Auto Eco below 2 mA-while the CE pin provides external enable/disable control. The device includes fold-back current limiting and an integrated output discharger for fast shutdown discharge in D-version variants like this one.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3 V ±1% (at VOUT > 2 V, TJ = 25 °C) |
| Max Output Current | 300 mA continuous; supports peak loads without thermal shutdown under typical PCB layout |
| Dropout Voltage | 230 mV typical at 300 mA, enabling regulation from 3.53 V input down to 3.3 V output |
| Quiescent Current | 1.0 µA (low-power mode, VOUT ≤ 1.85 V); 55 µA (fast mode); 0.1 µA (standby) |
| PSRR | 70 dB at 1 kHz in Fast mode-critical for noise-sensitive analog/RF subsystems |
| Operating Input Range | 1.4 V to 5.25 V-compatible with single-cell Li-ion, Li-poly, and multi-cell alkaline/battery stacks |
| Thermal Resistance | RJA = 250 °C/W (XDFN-6 package)-requires minimal copper area for 300 mA full-load operation |
Pinout & Package
XDFN-6 package: 1.2 mm × 1.2 mm × 0.4 mm ultra-thin footprint with wettable flanks; thermally enhanced exposed pad (pin 5) connected to GND for optimal heat dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 4) | Input supply connection | Accepts 1.4–5.25 V; requires local 1 µF ceramic decoupling capacitor |
| GND (Pin 2) | Ground reference and thermal path | Shared return for all circuitry; connects to exposed thermal pad (Pin 5) |
| CE (Pin 3) | Chip enable control | Active-high logic input; internal pull-down allows direct tie-to-VIN for always-on operation |
| VOUT (Pin 6) | Regulated output | Delivers stable 3.3 V; supports 1 µF ceramic output capacitor for stability |
| AE (Pin 1) | Auto Eco mode select | Low = Auto Eco (1.0 µA IQ); high = forced Fast mode (55 µA IQ, 70 dB PSRR) |
| NC (Pin 5) | No connection | Exposed thermal pad-must be soldered to GND plane for thermal performance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Tri-mode operation | Automatically switches between ultra-low-IQ (1.0 µA), high-PSRR (70 dB), and zero-IQ standby (0.1 µA) based on real-time load demand |
| Stable with 1 µF ceramic output cap | Eliminates need for larger, higher-ESR tantalum capacitors-reducing BOM cost and board space |
| Integrated output discharger | Actively pulls VOUT to GND during disable, preventing hold-up voltage that could delay system reset or cause latch-up |
| ±1% output accuracy | Ensures reliable logic-level compliance for 3.3 V I/O interfaces across −40 °C to +85 °C ambient |
| Current fold-back protection | Prevents thermal runaway during short-circuit events by reducing output current as voltage collapses |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1804T-3302I/OT | Fixed 3.3 V, 150 mA max, 3.5 µA IQ, no auto-tri-mode; SOT-23-5 package | Limited to lower-current peripherals; lacks fast transient response and eco-mode automation | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs current capability and dynamic efficiency needs |
| TZB73330020000 | 3.3 V, 300 mA, 2.5 µA IQ, no AE pin or tri-mode; XDFN-6, same footprint but no mode control | Requires external logic to toggle between low-IQ and high-performance states | Choose only if board layout must retain identical XDFN-6 placement but mode control is handled externally |
Compared with MCP1804T-3302I/OT and TZB73330020000, the NCP4589DMX33TCG uniquely delivers 300 mA output with sub-µA eco-mode IQ and autonomous fast/eco switching-enabling longer battery life and faster wake-up response without firmware or external control overhead.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the NCP4589DMX33TCG?
The NCP4589DMX33TCG delivers up to 300 mA continuous output current under typical thermal conditions (TA ≤ 85 °C, 1-in² 2-oz copper). Its 230 mV dropout at 300 mA and 250 °C/W junction-to-air thermal resistance allow sustained operation without thermal shutdown when properly mounted on a standard PCB with GND-connected thermal pad.
How does the AE pin function on the NCP4589DMX33TCG?
The AE (Auto Eco) pin on the NCP4589DMX33TCG controls operational mode: pulled low (≤0.4 V), it enables automatic tri-mode switching between low-power and fast-response states based on load current; pulled high (≥1.0 V), it forces permanent Fast mode. This pin directly configures the internal bias network-no external resistor or logic is required for basic mode selection.
Is the NCP4589DMX33TCG compatible with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes-the NCP4589DMX33TCG is explicitly designed and characterized for stable operation with 1 µF ceramic output capacitors, as confirmed in the datasheet's APPLICATION INFORMATION section. Using larger values or parallel ceramics may degrade phase margin; tantalum capacitors are discouraged due to ESR-related instability risks.
What is the purpose of the NC pin (Pin 5) in the XDFN-6 package of the NCP4589DMX33TCG?
Pin 5 of the NCP4589DMX33TCG is the exposed thermal pad, designated "NC" (No Connection) electrically but required to be soldered to a GND plane for thermal conduction. It is not a signal pin-its sole function is mechanical attachment and heat dissipation, reducing RJA from 250 °C/W to ~120 °C/W with adequate copper area.
Does the NCP4589DMX33TCG include output discharge functionality?
Yes-the NCP4589DMX33TCG is the "D" version of the family and integrates an active output discharge transistor between VOUT and GND. When the CE pin is driven low, this transistor turns on to rapidly discharge the output capacitor, preventing residual voltage from interfering with downstream logic sequencing or causing unintended wake-up events.
