Product details
Overview
NCP4589DSQ18T1G 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) 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 NCP4589DSQ18T1G 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 SC−70 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The NCP4589DSQ18T1G 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 is low. Its internal N-channel pass transistor delivers 230 mV typical dropout at full 300 mA load for 1.8 V output.
Mode transitions are controlled by internal comparators monitoring output current via sense circuitry; the AE pin provides external override capability. The device includes fold-back current limiting and integrates an output discharger (D-version) for rapid VOUT discharge during shutdown.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8 V ±1% (at VOUT > 2 V, TJ = 25°C); ensures stable core bias for image sensor analog blocks |
| Max Output Current | 300 mA continuous; supports peak pixel readout currents in compact camera modules |
| Dropout Voltage | 230 mV typ. at 300 mA, VOUT = 2.8 V; enables regulation from 2.03 V input for 1.8 V rail |
| 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 noise from noisy shared PMIC rails in multi-rail systems |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the NCP4589DSQ18T1G over temperature?
The NCP4589DSQ18T1G provides ±1% output voltage accuracy for VOUT > 2 V at TJ = 25°C. Over the full operating temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), output voltage deviation is specified as ±2.5% for VOUT > 2 V, and ±30 mV for VOUT ≤ 2 V. Its output voltage temperature coefficient is ±50 ppm/°C, ensuring predictable drift in thermal cycling environments.
How does the AE pin affect the operation of the NCP4589DSQ18T1G?
The AE pin on the NCP4589DSQ18T1G selects between automatic tri-mode switching and forced fast mode. When AE is low (≤0.4 V), the device dynamically switches between low-power and fast modes based on load current. When AE is high (≥1.0 V), it remains permanently in fast mode-enabling consistent 70 dB PSRR and rapid transient response regardless of load, at the cost of higher quiescent current (55 µA).
Can the NCP4589DSQ18T1G operate with input voltages below 1.8 V?
Yes-the NCP4589DSQ18T1G operates with input voltages as low as 1.4 V, making it functional even when powered from partially discharged single-cell batteries. However, dropout voltage increases significantly below VIN = VOUT + 0.23 V; at 300 mA load, minimum functional input is ~2.03 V. Below that, regulation is lost and VOUT follows VIN minus dropout.
What is the purpose of the output discharger function in the NCP4589DSQ18T1G?
The NCP4589DSQ18T1G (D-version) integrates an internal NMOS transistor between VOUT and GND that activates during shutdown (CE low). This rapidly discharges the output capacitor, preventing residual voltage from interfering with downstream logic sequencing or causing latch-up in cascaded power domains-essential in multi-rail camera sensor systems.
Is the NCP4589DSQ18T1G stable with ceramic capacitors, and what value is recommended?
Yes-the NCP4589DSQ18T1G is explicitly characterized and guaranteed stable with a 1 µF ceramic output capacitor (X5R/X7R), placed as close as possible to the VOUT and GND pins. Larger values improve transient response but may risk instability if multiple ceramics are paralleled; tantalum capacitors are discouraged due to ESR-related oscillation risks.
