Product details
Overview
NCP4632DDT33T5G from onsemi is a 3.3 V fixed-output, 3 A low-dropout linear voltage regulator with reverse current protection and active output discharge. It operates from 1.6 V to 5.25 V input, delivers ±1% output accuracy, maintains 510 mV typical dropout at full load, and draws only 350 µA quiescent current-optimized for battery-powered portable electronics requiring stable low-voltage rail generation.
For engineers reviewing the NCP4632DDT33T5G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its DPAK-5 package thermal performance (RJA = 53 °C/W), 3.3 V fixed output with soft-start and reverse-current limiting (<10 µA), CE-controlled enable/disable timing, and ceramic-capacitor stability without external compensation.
Technical Context
The NCP4632DDT33T5G integrates a CMOS pass transistor with precision bandgap reference, internal soft-start circuitry, and reverse-current detection that disables the output when VOUT exceeds VIN by >30 mV. Its active discharge path (N-channel MOSFET between VOUT and GND) ensures rapid output capacitor discharge during disable, critical for power sequencing in multi-rail systems.
It employs current-foldback overcurrent protection (typ. 220 mA short-circuit limit), thermal shutdown, and line/load regulation of 0.15%/V and ≤50 mV respectively. The device achieves PSRR of 55 dB at 1 kHz and 60 µVRMS output noise (10 Hz–100 kHz), supporting noise-sensitive analog and RF subsystems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3 V ±1% at TJ = +25°C; ensures stable MCU core or I/O rail without external feedback components. |
| Max Output Current | 3 A continuous; supports high-current digital loads like SoCs, FPGAs, or display drivers without external current boosting. |
| Dropout Voltage | 510 mV typ. at 3 A, VOUT = 3.3 V; enables operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V) or 5 V bus with minimal headroom loss. |
| Quiescent Current | 350 µA typ. in operation, 1 µA in standby; extends battery life in always-on or low-power sleep modes. |
| PSRR | 55 dB at 1 kHz; suppresses ripple from noisy switching supplies upstream, reducing need for additional filtering stages. |
| Reverse Current Limit | <10 µA when VOUT > VIN; prevents backfeed into input sources during hot-swap or partial system power-down. |
| Enable Threshold | VCEH = 1.0 V min., VCEL = 0.4 V max.; compatible with 1.8 V/3.3 V logic-level microcontrollers for precise power control. |
Pinout & Package
DPAK-5 (TO-252-5) package with exposed thermal pad (internally connected to Pin 3/GND); 5.40–6.30 mm × 9.50–10.20 mm footprint; JEDEC-standard 4-layer PCB thermal resistance RJA = 53 °C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - CE | Chip Enable Input | Active-high logic control; internal 300 nA pull-down allows direct connection to VIN if unused; enables fast turn-on/turn-off with defined timing (Fig. 34–37). |
| 2 - VIN | Input Voltage Supply | Accepts 1.6–5.25 V; requires 10 µF ceramic decoupling placed adjacent to pin to minimize line transient overshoot. |
| 3 - GND | Ground Reference | Power and signal ground; thermally connected to exposed tab; must be low-impedance plane for thermal dissipation and noise rejection. |
| 4 - VOUT | Regulated Output | Delivers 3.3 V ±1%; connects to 10 µF ceramic output capacitor; active discharge path engages when CE = low. |
| 5 - SENSE | Output Sense / Feedback | Fixed-output mode: senses VOUT directly for regulation; not adjustable-no external resistor divider required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Reverse Current Protection | Automatically disables pass element when VOUT > VIN +30 mV, limiting reverse leakage to <10 µA-prevents backfeeding into input sources during partial power-down. |
| Active Output Discharge | Integrated N-ch MOSFET discharges VOUT capacitor rapidly upon disable (CE = low), eliminating hold-up voltage that could disrupt downstream sequencing or cause latch-up. |
| Soft-Start Circuitry | Controls output ramp rate during power-up to limit inrush current into large output capacitance, avoiding input supply sag or brown-out in battery-fed systems. |
| Ceramic Capacitor Stability | Stable with ≥10 µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitors on input and output-eliminates need for tantalum or electrolytic caps, reducing board area and improving reliability. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking by disabling output when junction temperature exceeds 125°C; auto-recovery after cooldown. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TI TPS7A2033PDBVR | 3.3 V fixed, 300 mA max, 65 µA IQ, SOT-23-5 package; lower current, smaller footprint, no active discharge. | Suitable for low-power MCU peripherals but insufficient for 3 A loads; lacks reverse-current blocking and thermal derating capability. | Select only for space-constrained, sub-500 mA applications where active discharge is unnecessary. |
| ROHM BD33IC0WEFJ-E2 | 3.3 V fixed, 500 mA max, 35 µA IQ, HTSOP-8 package; includes thermal shutdown but no CE pin or reverse-current protection. | Targeted at consumer audio/video; cannot replace NCP4632DDT33T5G in battery-powered systems requiring sequencing or backfeed prevention. | Use only in cost-sensitive, low-current applications where enable control and reverse protection are omitted. |
Compared with TPS7A2033PDBVR and BD33IC0WEFJ-E2, the NCP4632DDT33T5G uniquely combines 3 A output, active discharge, reverse-current blocking, and DPAK-5 thermal performance-making it irreplaceable in high-current portable designs requiring robust power sequencing and battery safety.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCP4632DDT33T5G?
The absolute maximum input voltage for the NCP4632DDT33T5G is 6.0 V per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. However, the recommended operating input voltage range is 1.6 V to 5.25 V. Operation above 5.25 V is permitted only up to 5.5 V for limited duration (≤500 hours total), as specified in Note 4 of the Electrical Characteristics section.
Does the NCP4632DDT33T5G require external compensation components?
No, the NCP4632DDT33T5G is internally compensated and stable with standard 10 µF ceramic input and output capacitors. The datasheet explicitly states it is "Stable with Ceramic Capacitors" and provides layout guidance for C1 and C2 placement-no external resistors, capacitors, or feedback networks are needed for the fixed 3.3 V version.
How does the active discharge function operate in the NCP4632DDT33T5G?
When the CE pin is driven low, the NCP4632DDT33T5G disables the main pass transistor and simultaneously turns on an internal N-channel MOSFET between VOUT and GND. This path discharges the output capacitor rapidly-critical for safe power-down sequencing. The discharge transistor has RDS(on) ≤30 Ω (VIN = 4 V), enabling sub-millisecond discharge of typical 10–100 µF output caps.
What is the dropout voltage of the NCP4632DDT33T5G at 3 A output current?
At 3 A output current and TJ = +25°C, the typical dropout voltage of the NCP4632DDT33T5G is 510 mV when VOUT = 3.3 V. The datasheet specifies this value in the Features list and confirms it in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Dropout Voltage" test condition IOUT = 3000 mA and VOUT = 3.3 V.
Can the NCP4632DDT33T5G be used with input voltages below 1.6 V?
No-the NCP4632DDT33T5G has a minimum operating input voltage of 1.6 V, as stated in the Operating Input Voltage Range specification. Below this threshold, the device cannot maintain regulation or guarantee ±1% output accuracy. Attempting operation below 1.6 V may result in unregulated output or undefined behavior.
