Product details
Overview
NCP4687DH18T1G from onsemi is a 500 mA CMOS low-dropout linear voltage regulator with fixed 1.8 V output, ±0.8% accuracy at VOUT > 1.8 V, 75 dB PSRR at 1 kHz, and integrated auto-discharge NMOS for fast output capacitor discharge. It operates from 2.5 V to 5.25 V input and is used in DVB-T/S receivers and car audio systems where high ripple rejection and stable low-voltage biasing are required.
For engineers reviewing the NCP4687DH18T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified technical context, package-specific pin functions, real-world load/line transient behavior, thermal shutdown thresholds, and validated alternative LDOs for industrial and portable communication designs.
Technical Context
The NCP4687DH18T1G implements a precision bandgap reference, error amplifier, and resistor divider network to maintain tight output regulation across temperature and load. Its internal current limit (50 mA short-circuit) and thermal shutdown (165°C trip, 100°C hysteresis) provide robust fault protection in unattended equipment.
It features a dedicated SENSE pin for remote voltage sensing-reducing PCB trace resistance impact on load regulation-and an active-high CE pin with internal pull-down (0.3–0.6 µA) ensuring safe default-off operation. The auto-discharge NMOS (RDS(on) ≤ 60 Ω) activates only during disable mode to rapidly deplete output capacitance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8 V, ±0.8% accuracy over −40°C to +85°C ensures stable core/bias rail for 1.8 V logic and RF front-ends. |
| Max Output Current | 500 mA continuous, enabling single-regulator power for SoC peripherals or multi-rail subsystems. |
| Dropout Voltage | 0.27 V (typ) at 500 mA, allowing operation down to VIN = 2.07 V while maintaining regulation. |
| PSRR | 75 dB at 1 kHz, 70 dB at 10 kHz-rejects switching noise from DC-DC converters feeding its input. |
| Quiescent Current | 80–115 µA at VOUT > 1.5 V, minimizing standby power in always-on automotive modules. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 165°C junction trip with 65°C hysteresis prevents latch-up during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Enable Threshold | VCEH = 1.0 V min, VCEL = 0.4 V max-compatible with 1.8 V GPIO without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT−89−5 (Case 528AB), 4.4 mm × 2.4 mm × 1.5 mm body, exposed pad (EP) for thermal enhancement. Pin 1 = VIN, Pin 2 = GND, Pin 3 = CE, Pin 4 = SENSE, Pin 5 = VOUT.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 1) | Input supply connection | Accepts 2.5–5.25 V; requires 1.0 µF ceramic decoupling placed adjacent to pin for line transient immunity. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power ground reference | Common return for input/output capacitors and feedback path; must connect directly to EP for thermal performance. |
| CE (Pin 3) | Chip enable control | Active-high logic input; internal 0.3–0.6 µA pull-down guarantees safe off-state if left floating. |
| SENSE (Pin 4) | Remote output voltage sensing | Connects to load-side of PCB trace to compensate for IR drop-improves load regulation to ≤20 mV. |
| VOUT (Pin 5) | Regulated output | Delivers 1.8 V @ up to 500 mA; requires 1.0 µF ceramic output cap placed near pin for stability and transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High PSRR architecture | 75 dB at 1 kHz enables clean 1.8 V supply in noisy environments like car infotainment head units. |
| Auto-discharge NMOS | RDS(on) ≤ 60 Ω discharges output caps in <1 ms during shutdown-critical for fast system reset sequencing. |
| Precision output accuracy | ±0.8% over temperature ensures reliable operation of 1.8 V I/O interfaces without external trimming. |
| Low dropout design | 0.27 V typical dropout at full load allows use with Li-ion battery (3.0–4.2 V) or buck converter outputs. |
| Thermal protection with hysteresis | 165°C trip / 100°C recovery prevents thermal cycling damage during sustained overload in enclosed enclosures. |

|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1826-1802E/DB | Fixed 1.8 V, 500 mA, 250 mV dropout, 65 dB PSRR @ 1 kHz, no SENSE pin | Lacks remote sensing and auto-discharge; lower PSRR reduces noise immunity in RF-sensitive designs | Choose when board space is constrained and remote sensing is unnecessary; verify line regulation meets system tolerance. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCP4687DH18T1G?
The NCP4687DH18T1G has an absolute maximum input voltage of 6 V. Operation above this level risks permanent damage. Its recommended operating range is 2.5 V to 5.25 V, which ensures proper regulation and thermal performance under all load conditions. Exceeding 5.25 V may degrade PSRR and increase dropout voltage unpredictably.
Does the NCP4687DH18T1G require external components for stable operation?
Yes-the NCP4687DH18T1G requires two 1.0 µF ceramic capacitors: one between VIN and GND (input decoupling), and one between VOUT and GND (output decoupling). These must be placed as close as possible to their respective pins. Using tantalum capacitors is discouraged due to ESR-related instability risks confirmed in the datasheet.
How does the SENSE pin improve regulation in the NCP4687DH18T1G?
The SENSE pin on the NCP4687DH18T1G enables remote voltage sensing at the load, compensating for voltage drop across PCB traces. When connected directly to the load's 1.8 V rail, it reduces load regulation error from up to 20 mV (standard configuration) to <5 mV-even under full 500 mA load-ensuring accurate voltage delivery to sensitive downstream ICs.
What happens to the output when the CE pin is pulled low on the NCP4687DH18T1G?
When the CE pin is pulled low (<0.4 V), the NCP4687DH18T1G disables its pass transistor and activates the internal auto-discharge NMOS between VOUT and GND. This discharges the output capacitor through ≤60 Ω resistance, reducing VOUT to <100 mV within 1 ms-enabling rapid system reset and preventing back-powering of upstream circuitry.
Is the NCP4687DH18T1G RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes-the NCP4687DH18T1G is Pb-free and RoHS compliant, as explicitly stated in the datasheet's Features section and confirmed in the Ordering Information table. The "G" suffix in the part number denotes compliance, and the device uses matte tin lead finish per J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 handling requirements.
