Product details
Overview
NCP4683DMU12TCG from onsemi is a 300 mA CMOS low-dropout linear voltage regulator with fixed 1.2 V output, ±1.0% accuracy (VOUT > 2.0 V), 0.25 V dropout at 300 mA/2.8 V, and 70 dB PSRR at 1 kHz. It features chip enable (active-high), current fold-back protection, and stable operation with ≥1.0 µF ceramic output capacitors. This regulator powers core logic rails in compact battery-powered communication equipment.
For engineers reviewing the NCP4683DMU12TCG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its UDFN4 1.0×1.0 mm package, auto-discharge capability (D-version), 50 µA quiescent current, and thermal performance under 300 mA load in space-constrained portable designs.
Technical Context
The NCP4683DMU12TCG implements a CMOS-based LDO architecture with internal reference, error amplifier, and P-channel pass transistor. Its active-high CE pin controls full shutdown with 0.1–1.0 µA standby current, and the D-version integrates an N-channel output discharge transistor activated during disable to rapidly deplete VOUT capacitance.
Designed for high-PSRR, low-noise operation, it achieves 70 dB rejection at 1 kHz and 65 µVRMS integrated noise (10 Hz–100 kHz). The regulator maintains stability across input voltages from 1.40 V to 5.25 V and supports output currents up to 300 mA with thermal shutdown and fold-back current limiting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.2 V with ±1.0% accuracy over temperature (−40°C to +85°C) for precise core logic supply. |
| Max Output Current | 300 mA continuous - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and interface ICs in portable systems. |
| Dropout Voltage | 0.25 V at 300 mA and VOUT = 2.8 V; enables efficient operation even with tight VIN–VOUT margins. |
| Quiescent Current | 50 µA typical - minimizes battery drain in always-on or low-power sleep modes. |
| PSRR | 70 dB at 1 kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Package | UDFN4 1.0 × 1.0 mm, 0.65 mm pitch - ultra-compact footprint for high-density PCB layouts. |
| Auto-Discharge | Integrated Nch discharge FET (D-version) - ensures rapid VOUT decay during shutdown, preventing back-powering. |
Pinout & Package
Package: UDFN4 1.0 × 1.0 mm (Case 517BR), Pb-free, exposed thermal pad connected to GND.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VOUT | Regulated output | Delivers stable 1.2 V to load; requires ≥1.0 µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin for stability. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for input, output, and CE; thermal pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal relief. |
| CE | Chip enable (active-high) | Drives regulator ON when ≥1.0 V applied; pulls down to ~0.4 V threshold for OFF state; internal 0.3 µA pull-down current source. |
| VIN | Input supply | Accepts 1.40–5.25 V; requires ≥1.0 µF ceramic decoupling capacitor close to pin to ensure line transient immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 50 µA typical - extends battery life in IoT sensors and wearables operating intermittently. |
| Fast load transient response | ≤10 mV deviation for 1–300 mA step (VIN = VOUT + 1 V); maintains system stability during processor wake-up bursts. |
| Auto-discharge function | Active during shutdown - discharges output capacitance within milliseconds, eliminating residual voltage that could interfere with downstream power sequencing. |
| Ceramic capacitor compatibility | Stable with ≥1.0 µF X5R/X7R ceramics - eliminates need for larger, costlier tantalum or electrolytic capacitors. |
| High PSRR at audio frequencies | 70 dB at 1 kHz - critical for noise-sensitive analog circuits (e.g., ADC references, RF bias rails) powered from noisy DC-DC sources. |
Applications
| Battery-Powered Portable Devices | Networking Equipment Power Rails |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-1202E/MB | 250 mA max output, 6 µA IQ, no auto-discharge, SOT-23-3 package | Lacks CE pin and discharge FET; unsuitable for strict power sequencing or fast shutdown requirements | Select when ultra-low IQ dominates over discharge needs and board space allows SOT-23-3. |
| Torex XC6206P122MR-G | 300 mA, 1.2 V fixed, 15 µA IQ, no CE pin, SOT-25 package | No enable control or auto-discharge; limited to always-on configurations | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-sequenced applications where minimal IQ and simplicity outweigh control flexibility. |
Compared with MCP1700T-1202E/MB and XC6206P122MR-G, the NCP4683DMU12TCG uniquely combines 300 mA drive, 50 µA IQ, active-high CE, and integrated auto-discharge in a 1.0×1.0 mm UDFN - enabling compact, sequenced, and battery-efficient designs where rapid VOUT decay is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCP4683DMU12TCG?
The NCP4683DMU12TCG has an absolute maximum input voltage of 6.0 V per its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Operation above 5.25 V is outside the specified operating range and may compromise reliability or parametric performance. For sustained use, VIN must remain ≤5.25 V with proper derating based on ambient temperature and power dissipation.
Does the NCP4683DMU12TCG require external components for stable operation?
Yes - the NCP4683DMU12TCG requires a minimum 1.0 µF ceramic capacitor on both VIN and VOUT pins, placed as close as possible to the device. These capacitors ensure stability, improve line/load transient response, and reduce output noise. Tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors are not recommended due to ESR-related instability risks.
How does the auto-discharge feature work in the NCP4683DMU12TCG?
The NCP4683DMU12TCG (D-version) integrates an N-channel transistor between VOUT and GND. When the CE pin is driven low, this transistor turns on and actively discharges the output capacitor, bringing VOUT to near-zero volts within milliseconds. This prevents back-powering of upstream circuitry and supports clean power sequencing in multi-rail systems.
What is the thermal resistance (RJA) of the NCP4683DMU12TCG in its UDFN4 package?
The NCP4683DMU12TCG 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. Effective thermal performance depends on PCB layout - the exposed thermal pad must be soldered to a solid GND copper pour to realize this rating; insufficient copper area will increase actual RJA.
Can the NCP4683DMU12TCG be used with input voltages below 1.4 V?
No - the NCP4683DMU12TCG has a specified operating input voltage range of 1.40 V to 5.25 V. Below 1.40 V, the regulator cannot maintain regulation or guarantee output accuracy, PSRR, or dropout performance. Attempting operation below this threshold may result in unregulated output or functional failure.
