Product details
Overview
NCP4589DSN30T1G from onsemi is a 300 mA tri-mode CMOS LDO voltage regulator with 3.0 V fixed output, operating from 1.4 V to 5.25 V input. It features auto-switching between low-power (1.0 µA quiescent current) and fast-response (55 µA, 70 dB PSRR at 1 kHz) modes based on load current, plus a dedicated Auto Eco (AE) pin for forced mode selection. It is used in portable image sensors and battery-powered camera modules where ultra-low standby power and fast transient response are critical.
For engineers reviewing the NCP4589DSN30T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 230 mV dropout at 300 mA (VOUT = 2.8 V), ±1% output accuracy above 2 V, stable operation with 1 µF ceramic capacitors, and SOT-23-5 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The NCP4589DSN30T1G implements a tri-mode architecture: low-power mode (≤1.0 µA IQ) below 1–2 mA load, fast mode (55 µA IGND, 70 dB PSRR) above ~8 mA, and standby mode (0.1 µA) when CE = low. Its internal N-channel pass transistor enables low dropout and supports output discharge via integrated VOUT-to-GND switch in D-version variants.
Mode transitions are controlled by real-time load monitoring and the AE pin logic level (VAEH = 1.0 V, VAEL = 0.4 V). The device achieves ±1% output voltage accuracy over −40°C to +85°C ambient and maintains stability with minimal 1 µF ceramic output capacitance without requiring ESR tuning.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 300 mA max - supports moderate-power sensor rails and interface ICs without thermal derating in SOT-23-5 |
| Dropout Voltage | 230 mV typ. at 300 mA, VOUT = 2.8 V - enables regulation from 3.23 V input, critical for single-cell Li-ion systems |
| Quiescent Current | 1.0 µA in low-power mode (VOUT ≤ 1.85 V) - extends battery life in always-on imaging subsystems |
| PSRR | 70 dB at 1 kHz (fast mode) - suppresses switching noise from PMICs or DC-DC converters feeding adjacent circuits |
| Output Accuracy | ±1% for VOUT > 2 V at TJ = 25°C - ensures reliable ADC reference or core logic supply within spec |
| Operating Input Range | 1.4 V to 5.25 V - compatible with coin cells, Li-ion, and regulated 3.3 V/5 V system rails |
| Thermal Resistance | RJA = 238°C/W (SOT-23) - requires minimal copper area for 300 mA continuous operation at +85°C ambient |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT-23-5 (Case 1212), 2.7 mm × 3.1 mm × 1.3 mm body, Pb-free, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input supply connection | Accepts 1.4–5.25 V; requires local 1 µF ceramic decoupling to minimize line transients |
| GND | Power ground reference | Low-impedance return path for VIN, VOUT, CE, and AE; must be tied to main system ground plane |
| CE | Chip enable control | Active-high logic input; internal pull-down allows direct tie to VIN for always-on operation |
| VOUT | Regulated output | 3.0 V fixed; includes integrated discharge transistor (D-version) for rapid shutdown decay |
| AE | Auto Eco mode select | Logic-controlled mode override: low = auto-switching, high = forced fast mode (no auto-sleep) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Tri-mode dynamic current optimization | Automatically reduces quiescent current to 1.0 µA under light loads (<2 mA), eliminating manual mode sequencing |
| Integrated output discharge | Active VOUT-to-GND switch discharges output capacitor rapidly during disable, preventing hold-up voltage issues |
| Ceramic capacitor stability | Stable with ≥1 µF X5R/X7R ceramic output cap - eliminates need for tantalum or ESR-tuned solutions |
| High PSRR in fast mode | 70 dB rejection at 1 kHz enables clean power delivery in noisy mixed-signal environments (e.g., near RF sections) |
| Precision output accuracy | ±1% tolerance over temperature ensures consistent performance for analog front-ends and reference-sensitive peripherals |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the NCP4589DSN30T1G?
The NCP4589DSN30T1G delivers up to 300 mA continuous output current under typical thermal conditions in its SOT-23-5 package. Absolute maximum rated output current is 400 mA, but sustained operation above 300 mA requires careful PCB thermal design due to its 238°C/W junction-to-air thermal resistance. Derating curves in the datasheet confirm full 300 mA capability at +85°C ambient with standard 2-layer board layout.
Does the NCP4589DSN30T1G require external components for stable operation?
Yes, the NCP4589DSN30T1G requires two external ceramic capacitors: a 1 µF input capacitor (C1) placed close to VIN and GND, and a 1 µF output capacitor (C2) placed close to VOUT and GND. These values ensure stability, adequate line transient response, and proper fast-mode PSRR performance. Larger capacitance improves dynamic behavior but is not required for basic functionality.
How does the AE pin affect the operation of the NCP4589DSN30T1G?
The AE pin on the NCP4589DSN30T1G selects between automatic tri-mode switching (AE = low) and forced fast mode (AE = high). When AE is pulled low (≤0.4 V), the device autonomously switches between low-power and fast modes based on load current thresholds (~1–2 mA and ~8 mA). When AE is high (≥1.0 V), it remains in fast mode regardless of load, ensuring consistent 70 dB PSRR and rapid transient response at the cost of higher quiescent current (55 µA).
Is the NCP4589DSN30T1G compatible with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, the NCP4589DSN30T1G is explicitly designed and characterized for stable operation with 1 µF or greater X5R/X7R ceramic output capacitors. Unlike many older LDOs, it does not require ESR-tuned tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors. Using ceramic capacitors simplifies BOM, reduces board area, and improves reliability-no minimum ESR specification is needed.
What is the dropout voltage of the NCP4589DSN30T1G at 300 mA load?
The dropout voltage of the NCP4589DSN30T1G is 230 mV typical at 300 mA output current and 2.8 V nominal output voltage. This value scales with output voltage: for example, at 3.0 V output, typical dropout is ~250 mV. The low dropout enables operation from inputs as low as 3.25 V, making it suitable for single-cell Li-ion and Li-polymer battery applications across their full discharge curve.
