Product details
Overview
NCP4671DSN12T1G from onsemi is a 400 mA dual-rail ultra-low dropout linear regulator with fixed 1.2 V output, ±15 mV accuracy at 25°C, 180 mV typical dropout at 400 mA, and bias-input architecture enabling operation down to 0.9 V input. It delivers stable low-voltage power for core logic in portable battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the NCP4671DSN12T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its dual-rail bias/power separation, auto-discharge capability, SOT-23-5 package footprint, and guaranteed 1.2 V output stability under 400 mA load across −40°C to +85°C.
Technical Context
The NCP4671DSN12T1G implements a CMOS-based dual-rail LDO architecture: VIN supplies the pass element while VBIAS (2.4–5.25 V) powers the control circuitry, decoupling regulation stability from input rail noise. This enables ultra-low dropout and high PSRR-80 dB at 1 kHz for VIN ripple and 50 dB for VBIAS ripple.
It integrates chip enable (CE) with internal pull-down, supports fast load transients via optimized capacitor requirements (1 µF CIN, 2.2 µF COUT), and includes current foldback protection (120 mA short-circuit limit) and output discharge in the D-version variant.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.2 V ±15 mV at 25°C; ±20 mV over −40°C to +85°C - ensures precise core voltage for 1.2 V logic domains. |
| Max Output Current | 400 mA continuous - sufficient for powering microcontroller cores, FPGA I/O banks, or ASIC subsystems. |
| Dropout Voltage | 180 mV typical at 400 mA - allows regulation from as low as 1.38 V input, extending battery runtime in single-cell Li-ion or Li-poly systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 28 µA typical - minimizes standby power loss in always-on subsystems like real-time clocks or sensor interfaces. |
| PSRR | 80 dB at 1 kHz (VIN ripple), 50 dB at 1 kHz (VBIAS ripple) - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters. |
| Enable Threshold | VCEH = 0.8 V min, VCEL = 0.3 V max - compatible with 1.2 V, 1.8 V, and 3.3 V logic-level control signals. |
| Thermal Resistance | RJA = 238 °C/W (SOT-23) - requires minimal PCB copper area for thermal management at full load in ambient ≤60°C. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT-23-5 (Case 1212), Pb-free, 2.7 mm × 3.1 mm × 1.3 mm body height, 0.95 mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VIN | Main power input to pass transistor | Accepts regulated DC input from 1.3 V to VBIAS; must be ≥ VOUT + 0.1 V (i.e., ≥1.3 V for 1.2 V output). |
| 2 - GND | Analog and power ground reference | Common return path for VIN, VOUT, VBIAS, and CE; requires low-impedance PCB connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 3 - CE | Active-high chip enable | Pulled internally to GND; tie to VBIAS for always-on operation or drive with logic signal for controlled power sequencing. |
| 4 - VBIAS | Bias supply for control circuitry | Must be 2.4–5.25 V; for 1.2 V output, minimum VBIAS = 1.2 V + 1.6 V = 2.8 V - isolates control loop from VIN noise. |
| 5 - VOUT | Regulated output terminal | Delivers 1.2 V ±15 mV; includes integrated discharge FET (D-version) to rapidly deplete output capacitance during shutdown. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-rail architecture | Separates VBIAS (control) and VIN (power path) to achieve <180 mV dropout and maintain PSRR >80 dB despite low input voltage. |
| Auto-discharge function | Integrated N-channel FET between VOUT and GND discharges output capacitor within milliseconds upon CE deactivation - prevents floating voltage in power-sequenced systems. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 28 µA typical enables >1-year battery life in coin-cell–powered devices operating intermittently at µA average current. |
| High-accuracy output | ±15 mV initial tolerance at 25°C and ±20 mV over temperature ensures reliable operation of 1.2 V core rails without external trimming. |
| Robust transient response | Stable with 1 µF CIN and 2.2 µF COUT ceramic capacitors; load step recovery time <100 µs (1 mA → 400 mA) preserves system stability during burst-mode processing. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-low dropout LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6210B122MR-G | Single-rail architecture; 1.2 V fixed output; 200 mV dropout at 400 mA; no VBIAS pin; 25 µA IQ. | Lacks bias-rail isolation - PSRR drops to 60 dB at 1 kHz; no auto-discharge; smaller XDFN package. | Select when board space is constrained and upstream noise is low; avoid in noisy multi-rail systems requiring >75 dB PSRR. |
| Diodes AP7361-12SG-7 | Single-rail LDO; 1.2 V output; 250 mV dropout at 400 mA; 45 µA IQ; includes enable but no discharge FET. | Higher dropout limits minimum input to 1.45 V; no output discharge; PSRR = 70 dB at 1 kHz. | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where 1.45 V minimum input is acceptable and fast shutdown is not required. |
Compared with XC6210B122MR-G and AP7361-12SG-7, the NCP4671DSN12T1G uniquely combines dual-rail noise isolation, 180 mV dropout, and integrated auto-discharge - making it optimal for noise-sensitive, battery-constrained, and fast-sequencing applications where VBIAS can be sourced from a stable auxiliary rail.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for the NCP4671DSN12T1G to regulate 1.2 V output?
The NCP4671DSN12T1G requires VIN ≥ VOUT + 0.1 V = 1.3 V when VOUT ≥ 0.8 V. Its ultra-low dropout of 180 mV typical at 400 mA means it maintains regulation down to 1.38 V input under full load. Below that, output voltage drops linearly with input.
Does the NCP4671DSN12T1G require external components to operate stably?
Yes - the NCP4671DSN12T1G requires three external ceramic capacitors: 1 µF on VIN, 1 µF on VBIAS, and ≥2.2 µF on VOUT. These are mandatory for stability, transient response, and PSRR performance per the datasheet. Tantalum capacitors are not recommended due to ESR-related oscillation risk.
How does the VBIAS pin function in the NCP4671DSN12T1G, and what voltage range is acceptable?
The VBIAS pin powers the internal control circuitry independently of VIN. For the NCP4671DSN12T1G (1.2 V output), VBIAS must be ≥ VOUT + 1.6 V = 2.8 V and ≤ 5.25 V. It may be derived from a separate low-noise rail or upstream converter input to isolate regulation from VIN ripple.
What is the purpose of the auto-discharge feature in the NCP4671DSN12T1G?
The auto-discharge feature uses an internal N-channel FET to actively pull VOUT to GND when CE is low. This rapidly depletes output capacitance - critical for power-sequenced systems where residual voltage on downstream rails could cause latch-up or undefined logic states during reset.
Can the NCP4671DSN12T1G be used without connecting the CE pin?
Yes - the CE pin has an internal pull-down current source (1 µA typical). Leaving it unconnected defaults the device to enabled. For guaranteed operation, tie CE to VBIAS; for controlled enable/disable, drive it with a logic signal referenced to VBIAS or GND.
