Product details
Overview
NCP4682DMU15TCG from onsemi is a 150 mA CMOS low-dropout linear voltage regulator with 1.5 V fixed output, ±0.8% output voltage accuracy, 0.28 V dropout (at 150 mA), and ultra-low 1.0 µA quiescent current. It features Chip Enable (active-high), auto-discharge functionality, and operates across 1.70–5.25 V input range-designed for power-sensitive battery-powered systems requiring stable low-voltage rail generation.
For engineers reviewing the NCP4682DMU15TCG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include enable-controlled shutdown, 1.5 V fixed output with ±40 ppm/°C tempco, ceramic-capacitor stability (≥0.1 µF), and UDFN4 1.0×1.0 mm package compatibility in space-constrained portable designs.
Technical Context
The NCP4682DMU15TCG integrates a precision bandgap reference, fold-back current limiting, and an internal N-channel pass transistor optimized for low dropout and fast load transient response. Its CE pin enables full shutdown with 0.1 µA standby current, while the auto-discharge path actively pulls VOUT to GND during disable to prevent floating outputs.
This device uses a CMOS architecture with no PNP/Pch pass element, enabling operation down to 1.70 V input and delivering high PSRR (30 dB at 1 kHz) and low output noise (70 µVRMS). It is specified for −40°C to +85°C ambient operation and supports stable regulation with minimal external components-only two 0.1 µF ceramic capacitors required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.5 V ±0.8% (ensures precise biasing of 1.5 V logic, sensors, or RF front-ends) |
| Max Output Current | 150 mA continuous (supports microcontrollers, PMIC rails, and small peripherals) |
| Dropout Voltage | 0.28 V at 150 mA (enables regulation from 1.78 V input-critical for single-cell Li-ion or coin-cell applications) |
| Quiescent Current | 1.0 µA typical (minimizes battery drain in always-on monitoring circuits) |
| Standby Current | 0.1 µA with CE = low (reduces system sleep-mode power to sub-µA levels) |
| PSRR | 30 dB at 1 kHz (suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC-DC converters) |
| Temp Coefficient | ±40 ppm/°C (maintains <±1.2 mV drift over −40°C to +85°C for precision analog rails) |
Pinout & Package
Package: UDFN4 1.0 × 1.0 mm, 0.65 mm pitch, exposed thermal pad (connected to GND). Compact footprint ideal for wearables and IoT edge nodes.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VOUT) | Regulated output | Delivers stable 1.5 V; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor to GND for stability |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Primary return path; connects to exposed thermal pad for thermal dissipation |
| 3 (CE) | Chip Enable input | Active-high control: >1.5 V enables regulator; <0.3 V disables with auto-discharge activation |
| 4 (VIN) | Input supply | Accepts 1.70–5.25 V; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling capacitor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto-discharge function | Internal N-ch switch discharges VOUT to GND within microseconds upon CE deactivation-prevents unintended wake-up or latch-up in downstream circuitry |
| Ceramic capacitor stability | Stable with ≥0.1 µF X5R/X7R ceramics (no ESR requirement); eliminates need for tantalum or electrolytic capacitors |
| Fold-back current protection | Reduces output current and voltage during overload or short-circuit-limits power dissipation and prevents thermal runaway |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 1.0 µA supply current enables >1-year battery life in 10 µA average-power sensor nodes (e.g., BLE beacons) |
| Wide input voltage range | 1.70–5.25 V operation supports direct connection to single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2 V), NiMH, or regulated 3.3 V/5 V supplies |
Applications
| Wearable Health Sensors | IoT Edge Node Power |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-1502E/MB | 150 mA, 1.5 V fixed, 1.6 µA IQ, no CE or auto-discharge | Lacks enable control and discharge path-requires external MOSFET for shutdown discharge | Select when lowest possible BOM count is prioritized and auto-discharge is not required |
| Torex XC6206P152MR-G | 150 mA, 1.5 V fixed, 1.0 µA IQ, CE pin but no auto-discharge | Supports enable but lacks integrated VOUT discharge-needs external resistor network | Choose when CE functionality is needed but board area permits discrete discharge solution |
Compared with MCP1700T-1502E/MB and XC6206P152MR-G, the NCP4682DMU15TCG uniquely combines ultra-low IQ, active-high CE, and integrated auto-discharge in a 1.0×1.0 mm UDFN-eliminating external components and reducing PCB footprint by >30% in space-constrained battery systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCP4682DMU15TCG?
The absolute maximum input voltage for the NCP4682DMU15TCG is 6.0 V per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. However, the recommended operating input voltage range is 1.70 V to 5.25 V. Operation above 5.25 V is only permitted up to 5.50 V for ≤500 hours total cumulative time, as stated in Note 3 of the Electrical Characteristics section. For reliable long-term use, keep VIN ≤5.25 V in the NCP4682DMU15TCG design.
Does the NCP4682DMU15TCG require an external pull-up resistor on the CE pin?
No, the NCP4682DMU15TCG does not require an external pull-up resistor on the CE pin. The device includes an internal pull-down current source (0.3 µA typical) that ensures default disable state when CE is left unconnected. If enable functionality is not used, the CE pin may be tied directly to VIN to maintain permanent operation-no external resistor is needed for either configuration in the NCP4682DMU15TCG.
What is the thermal resistance (RJA) of the NCP4682DMU15TCG in its UDFN4 package?
The NCP4682DMU15TCG in the UDFN4 1.0×1.0 mm package has a junction-to-air thermal resistance (RJA) of 250 °C/W, as specified in the Thermal Characteristics table. This value assumes standard JEDEC test conditions (single-layer copper, 1 in² pad). Actual RJA improves significantly with PCB copper pour under the exposed thermal pad-designers should connect the pad directly to a solid GND plane to achieve optimal thermal performance in the NCP4682DMU15TCG layout.
Can the NCP4682DMU15TCG be used with tantalum output capacitors?
No, the NCP4682DMU15TCG is not recommended for use with tantalum output capacitors. The datasheet explicitly warns that high-ESR tantalum capacitors may cause loop oscillation and unstable regulation. The device is characterized and guaranteed stable only with ceramic capacitors ≥0.1 µF (X5R/X7R dielectrics). Using tantalum capacitors violates the stability requirements and risks erratic behavior in the NCP4682DMU15TCG application.
How does the auto-discharge feature operate in the NCP4682DMU15TCG?
When the CE pin is driven low, the NCP4682DMU15TCG activates an internal N-channel transistor between VOUT and GND, rapidly discharging the output capacitor. This action pulls VOUT to near-GND within microseconds-preventing residual voltage from powering downstream circuitry or causing undefined logic states. The discharge path is exclusive to the NCP4682D variant (including NCP4682DMU15TCG) and is not present in the NCP4682H or NCP4685 families.
