Product details
Overview
NCP4687DSN18T1G from onsemi is a CMOS 500 mA low-dropout linear voltage regulator with 1.8 V fixed 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 supports industrial-grade temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), serving as a precision power rail in noise-sensitive portable communication and automotive infotainment systems.
For engineers reviewing the NCP4687DSN18T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 500 mA (0.31–0.48 V), quiescent current (80–115 µA), thermal shutdown (165°C), SOT-23-5 package footprint, and CE-controlled enable functionality with internal pull-down.
Technical Context
The NCP4687DSN18T1G integrates a precision voltage reference, error amplifier, and resistor divider for stable 1.8 V regulation. Its high-PSRR architecture suppresses ripple across 1 kHz–10 kHz (75 dB → 70 dB), while the built-in NMOS discharge path enables rapid VOUT collapse during disable-critical for sequencing in multi-rail systems.
Thermal protection triggers at 165°C junction temperature with 65°C hysteresis, and current limiting caps output at 50 mA under short-circuit. The SENSE pin decouples load regulation from PCB trace resistance, maintaining ≤20 mV load regulation across 1–500 mA output current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8 V with ±0.8% accuracy at TA = 25°C - ensures stable core logic supply for microcontrollers and FPGAs. |
| Max Output Current | 500 mA - sufficient for powering multiple low-power ICs (e.g., ADCs, sensors, RF front-ends) from a single LDO. |
| Dropout Voltage | 0.31 V (typ.) at IOUT = 500 mA - enables operation down to VIN = 2.11 V, supporting battery-powered designs near end-of-life. |
| PSRR | 75 dB @ 1 kHz - rejects switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters, preserving signal integrity in audio and RF sections. |
| Quiescent Current | 80–115 µA - minimizes standby power loss in always-on subsystems like CAN transceivers or real-time clocks. |
| Enable Threshold | VCEH = 1.0 V (min), VCEL = 0.4 V (max) - compatible with 1.8 V and 3.3 V GPIOs without level-shifting. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 165°C activation with 65°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-5 package (Case 1212): 2.9 mm × 2.8 mm footprint, 1.3 mm height, exposed pad optional for thermal relief. Compatible with standard pick-and-place and reflow processes.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VIN | Input supply connection | Accepts 2.5–5.25 V; requires 1.0 µF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed adjacent to pin for transient stability. |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return path for input/output capacitors and internal circuitry; connects to PCB ground plane for low-noise operation. |
| 3 - CE | Chip enable control | Active-high logic input; internal pull-down ensures safe default-off state if left floating; drives LDO on/off with <1 µA standby current. |
| 4 - SENSE | Output voltage feedback | Remote sensing point - connect directly to load to compensate for PCB IR drop and maintain ±0.8% regulation at point-of-load. |
| 5 - VOUT | Regulated output | Delivers 1.8 V ±0.8% up to 500 mA; includes integrated NMOS discharge path activated during CE = low for fast VOUT ramp-down. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High PSRR | 75 dB @ 1 kHz - suppresses ripple from noisy switchers, enabling clean analog/RF rails without additional filtering. |
| Auto-discharge NMOS | RDS(on) = 60 Ω (typ.) - discharges output capacitor in <1 ms when disabled, preventing back-powering of downstream circuits. |
| Precision output accuracy | ±0.8% @ VOUT > 1.8 V - eliminates need for external trimming in applications requiring tight voltage tolerance (e.g., DDR memory termination). |
| Low dropout | 0.31 V @ 500 mA - extends battery runtime in 2-cell Li-ion or 3-cell alkaline systems by minimizing headroom loss. |
| Thermal & current protection | Integrated shutdown at 165°C and 50 mA short-circuit limit - provides robust fault handling without external components. |
Applications

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary LDO fed from primary 5 V rail, enabling independent reset sequencing and brown-out detection for MCU firmware integrity. Use Value: CE pin controlled by system supervisor IC ensures deterministic power-up/down timing; thermal shutdown protects against enclosed enclosure overheating. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-1802E/TT | 250 mA max output, 6 µA IQ, no SENSE pin, no auto-discharge | Limited to ultra-low-power MCU peripherals; unsuitable for 500 mA loads or remote sensing | Select only for space-constrained, sub-100 µA standby applications where full 500 mA capability is unnecessary. |
| TLD1117LV18 | 800 mA output, 45 µA IQ, adjustable via external resistors, no CE pin | Requires external feedback network; lacks enable control and fast discharge - complicates power sequencing | Prefer when higher current or adjustable output is needed, but avoid where CE-driven sequencing or auto-discharge is mandatory. |
Compared with MCP1700T-1802E/TT and TLD1117LV18, the NCP4687DSN18T1G uniquely combines 500 mA drive, precision 1.8 V output, active enable, and integrated discharge - making it optimal for sequenced, noise-sensitive, medium-current embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCP4687DSN18T1G?
The NCP4687DSN18T1G has an absolute maximum input voltage of 6.0 V. Operation above this level risks permanent damage. For reliable continuous use, the recommended operating input voltage range is 2.5 V to 5.25 V, ensuring proper regulation and thermal performance across the full −40°C to +85°C ambient temperature range. Always observe derating curves in the datasheet when operating near thermal limits.
Does the NCP4687DSN18T1G require external compensation components?
No, the NCP4687DSN18T1G is internally compensated and stable with a minimum 1.0 µF ceramic output capacitor. The datasheet specifies COUT = 1.0 µF (X5R/X7R) as sufficient for all operating conditions - no external resistors, capacitors, or feedforward networks are required. Using lower-ESR ceramics improves transient response, but tantalum or aluminum electrolytics are discouraged due to potential instability.
How does the SENSE pin improve regulation accuracy in the NCP4687DSN18T1G?
The SENSE pin on the NCP4687DSN18T1G enables remote voltage sensing at the load instead of at the LDO output pin. This compensates for voltage drop across PCB traces and connectors, reducing load regulation error from up to 20 mV (with local sensing) to <5 mV in typical layouts. For best results, route the SENSE trace separately from high-current paths and tie it directly to the load's VDD pin.
What is the purpose of the auto-discharge function in the NCP4687DSN18T1G?
The auto-discharge function in the NCP4687DSN18T1G activates an internal 60 Ω NMOS transistor between VOUT and GND when the CE pin is driven low. This rapidly discharges the output capacitor (typically within 1 ms), preventing back-powering of downstream ICs and ensuring deterministic power-down sequencing - critical in multi-rail systems with strict startup/shutdown order requirements.
Is the NCP4687DSN18T1G RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the NCP4687DSN18T1G is Pb-free and fully RoHS compliant per EU Directive 2011/65/EU. The device uses matte tin (Sn) lead finish and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1), allowing unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH. Full compliance documentation, including substance declarations and test reports, is available through onsemi's Quality Portal.
