Product details
Overview
NCP585HSAN12T1G from onsemi is a tri-mode 300 mA CMOS low-dropout regulator with enable and ECO pin for mode selection, delivering a fixed 1.2 V output. It supports Chip Enable (CE), Fast Transient (FT), and Low Power (LP) modes, features 310 mV dropout at 300 mA (FT mode), ±2% output accuracy, and 70 dB PSRR at 1 kHz - optimized for portable battery-powered systems requiring stable low-voltage rail generation.
For engineers reviewing the NCP585HSAN12T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated HSON−6 package details, and two confirmed alternative parts with functional and application-level differences.
Technical Context
The NCP585HSAN12T1G implements a CMOS-based LDO architecture with three configurable operating modes controlled via the ECO pin: CE mode (enable/disable), FT mode (VECO = Vin, optimized for transient response), and LP mode (VECO = GND, ultra-low Iq). Its internal reference and error amplifier maintain tight regulation across load (1–300 mA in FT mode) and line (1.4–6.0 V input) variations.
It integrates fold-back current limiting, auto-discharge capability (in active-high variants), and thermal shutdown. The device operates over −40°C to +85°C ambient, supports input up to 6.5 V, and requires only a 1.0 µF ceramic output capacitor for stability in both FT and LP modes - with no unstable region observed in LP mode per ESR vs. load plots.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.2 V ±2% (FT mode); ±3% (LP mode) - ensures precise core voltage for 1.2 V logic rails without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 300 mA - sufficient to power microcontrollers, sensors, or RF front-ends in space-constrained portable designs. |
| Dropout Voltage | 310 mV @ 300 mA (FT mode, VOUT = 1.2 V) - enables operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0 V min) or dual-cell alkaline (2.4 V min) sources. |
| Quiescent Current | 80 µA (FT mode, VOUT < 1.8 V); 3.5 µA (LP mode, VOUT < 1.6 V) - extends battery life in sleep/standby states without sacrificing wake-up speed. |
| PSRR | 70 dB @ 1 kHz - suppresses switching noise from DC-DC converters feeding the LDO input, critical for analog/RF subsystems. |
| Line Regulation | 0.01%/V (FT mode) - maintains output stability despite battery voltage sag during high-current pulses. |
| Load Regulation | 15 mV (FT mode, 1–300 mA) - minimizes voltage droop during dynamic processor load transitions. |
Pinout & Package
HSON−6 (Case 506AE) package: 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm × 0.9 mm body, exposed thermal pad, Pb-free, moisture-sensitive level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Vin | Input power supply | Accepts 1.4–6.5 V; requires 1.0 µF ceramic decoupling close to pin to ensure stability and noise immunity. |
| 2 - NC | No connect | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - no routing or grounding permitted. |
| 3 - Vout | Regulated output | Delivers fixed 1.2 V; connects directly to load; output capacitor must be placed adjacent to this pin. |
| 4 - ECO | Mode control input | Drives FT mode when tied to Vin; LP mode when grounded - selects trade-off between transient response and quiescent current. |
| 5 - GND | Power ground | Primary return path; must be connected to low-impedance system ground plane beneath exposed pad. |
| 6 - CE | Active-high enable | High = enabled (regulation active); low = shutdown (ISD = 0.1 µA); compatible with standard GPIO logic levels. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Tri-mode operation | Single device supports three distinct power states: full-performance (FT), ultra-low-power (LP), and on/off control (CE) - eliminates need for multiple regulators in multi-sleep-state systems. |
| Low temperature drift | 100 ppm/°C output voltage drift - ensures consistent 1.2 V rail across industrial temperature range without calibration. |
| Fold-back protection | Current limit reduces to ~50 mA under short-circuit - prevents thermal runaway and enables safe recovery after fault removal. |
| Auto-discharge support | Active-high variant includes internal discharge path from Vout to GND when disabled - clears residual charge to meet fast-power-down requirements. |
| High ripple rejection | 75 dB @ 120 Hz, 70 dB @ 1 kHz - effectively filters low-frequency noise from battery chargers or buck converter ripple. |
Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Wearable Fitness Trackers |

| Industrial Handheld Scanners | Smart Home Motion Sensors |
|
Use Scenario: Rugged barcode scanner with laser diode driver, image sensor, and Wi-Fi MCU powered by 2×AA batteries.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NCP114AMX12TBG | Fixed 1.2 V, 150 mA, SOT-23-5, 220 mV dropout @ 150 mA, 45 µA Iq (typ) | Limited current capacity and no tri-mode control - suitable only for low-power peripherals, not main MCU rails. | Select when board space is constrained and load never exceeds 150 mA; verify thermal margin with 250 mW PD limit. |
| MCP1804T-1202I/OT | Fixed 1.2 V, 150 mA, SOT-23-5, 350 mV dropout @ 150 mA, 3 µA Iq (LP), no ECO pin or FT mode | Only two modes (on/off); lacks fast-transient capability and higher current drive - best for static low-power loads. | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where dynamic load response is unnecessary and 150 mA suffices. |
Compared with NCP585HSAN12T1G, NCP114AMX12TBG offers smaller footprint but half the current and no mode flexibility, while MCP1804T-1202I/OT achieves lower Iq yet sacrifices transient performance and output drive - making NCP585HSAN12T1G the only option supporting 300 mA + tri-mode optimization in HSON−6.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCP585HSAN12T1G?
The NCP585HSAN12T1G has an absolute maximum input voltage (Vin) rating of 6.5 V. Operation above this level risks permanent damage. For reliable continuous use, the recommended input range is 1.4 V to 6.0 V per electrical characteristics tables. This allows compatibility with single-cell Li-ion (up to 4.2 V), dual-cell alkaline (up to 3.2 V), and regulated 5 V supplies - all while maintaining 1.2 V output regulation.
Does the NCP585HSAN12T1G require an external capacitor on the ECO pin?
No, the NCP585HSAN12T1G does not require an external capacitor on the ECO pin. The ECO pin is a digital control input that selects operating mode: connecting it to Vin enables Fast Transient (FT) mode, while grounding it enables Low Power (LP) mode. The datasheet specifies no AC loading or filtering requirement for ECO; it is intended for DC bias only, and adding capacitance could delay mode transitions or cause unintended behavior during power-up.
Can the NCP585HSAN12T1G be used with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, the NCP585HSAN12T1G is fully compatible with ceramic output capacitors. The datasheet explicitly recommends a 1.0 µF ceramic capacitor on the Vout pin for optimal stability and transient response. Stability analysis (Figures 32–35) confirms stable operation across load currents up to 300 mA with ceramic capacitors ranging from 0.1 µF to 100 µF - provided ESR remains within the stable region (typically <100 mΩ for 1.0 µF). No series resistor is needed.
What is the shutdown current of the NCP585HSAN12T1G when the CE pin is low?
When the CE pin is driven low (≤0.3 V), the NCP585HSAN12T1G enters shutdown mode with a typical shutdown current (ISD) of 0.1 µA and a maximum of 1.0 µA over temperature. This ultra-low leakage preserves battery energy during extended idle periods. The CE pin is actively driven - no pull-down resistor is required, and the device guarantees full disablement even at VIN = 6.5 V, as confirmed in the Maximum Ratings table.
Is the NCP585HSAN12T1G pin-compatible with other variants in the NCP585 family?
Yes, the NCP585HSAN12T1G is pin-compatible with all HSON−6 variants in the NCP585 family (e.g., NCP585HSAN09T1G, NCP585HSAN18T1G), sharing identical pinout, package dimensions, and thermal pad layout. Voltage variants differ only in internal feedback network and marking - allowing drop-in replacement across 0.9 V to 3.3 V outputs without PCB changes, provided input voltage and load requirements remain within spec.
