Product details
Overview
NCP590MNOATAG from onsemi is a dual-output, ultra-low-dropout CMOS LDO regulator in a 2×2 mm DFN8 package, delivering up to 300 mA per output at fixed voltages of 1.5 V (VOUT1) and 2.4 V (VOUT2), with ±0.9% accuracy at 100 mA/25°C and dropout as low as 52 mV typ. It supports battery-powered portable electronics requiring tight voltage regulation and fast transient response.
For engineers reviewing the NCP590MNOATAG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include independent enable control (EN1/EN2), active output discharge, UVLO (1.9–2.1 V), thermal shutdown (155°C), and stability with 1.0 µF MLCC output capacitors - all critical for multi-rail microprocessor and DSP power sequencing.
Technical Context
The NCP590MNOATAG integrates two independent PMOS-based LDO regulators with precision trimmed references, dedicated error amplifiers, and saturation-sense circuitry to maintain regulation under low VIN conditions. Each channel features separate enable inputs (EN1/EN2) with 0.95 V logic threshold and sub-1 V compatibility.
It employs internally compensated architecture enabling stable operation with any capacitor type (including zero-ESR MLCCs) and no minimum load requirement. Protection includes per-channel current limiting (750 mA typ), thermal shutdown with 15°C hysteresis, and input UVLO with 0.1 V hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltages | 1.5 V (VOUT1) and 2.4 V (VOUT2) - fixed, factory-trimmed outputs for dual-rail SoC/DSP core & I/O supply separation |
| Voltage Accuracy | ±0.9% max at 100 mA/25°C - ensures reliable logic-level compliance for 1.5 V core and 2.4 V interface rails |
| Dropout Voltage | 52 mV typ @ 100 mA - enables >98% efficiency at light-to-moderate loads with minimal headroom (e.g., 2.5 V IN → 2.4 V OUT) |
| Quiescent Current | 80–125 µA (one regulator ON) - extends battery life in always-on subsystems like audio codecs or sensor interfaces |
| Enable Threshold | VIH = 0.95 V, VIL = 0.4 V - supports direct interfacing with sub-1 V GPIOs (e.g., ARM Cortex-M deep-sleep controllers) |
| PSRR | 60 dB @ 120 Hz (0.8 V out), 40 dB @ 1 kHz (2.8 V out) - suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC-DC converters |
| Thermal Shutdown | 155°C activation with hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB heat spreading |
Pinout & Package
Package: 2×2 mm DFN8 (Case 506AA), thermally enhanced with exposed ground pad (PAD). Requires solder connection of thermal pad to PCB ground plane for optimal thermal performance (θJA = 158°C/W on 1 oz Cu, 207 mm²).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Vin) | Input supply rail | Bypass directly at IC with ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor to GND; supports 2.1–5.5 V input range |
| 2 (EN1) | Enable for VOUT1 | Active-high logic input; ≥0.95 V enables 1.5 V output; compatible with 0.8–5.5 V control sources |
| 3 (EN2) | Enable for VOUT2 | Independent active-high enable for 2.4 V output; allows staggered power-up/down sequencing |
| 4,5 (NC) | No-connect terminals | Unbonded pins - must remain unconnected per datasheet; no internal function or routing |
| 6 (GND) | Power ground reference | Main signal ground return; connects to thermal pad (PAD) for thermal and electrical integrity |
| 7 (VOUT2) | 2.4 V regulated output | Delivers up to 300 mA; bypass with 0.7–4.7 µF capacitor (any ESR); supports active discharge when disabled |
| 8 (VOUT1) | 1.5 V regulated output | Delivers up to 300 mA; identical bypass requirements as VOUT2; independent regulation and protection |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent enable controls | EN1/EN2 allow precise sequencing of 1.5 V and 2.4 V rails - essential for FPGA configuration, multi-core SoCs, or memory initialization |
| Active output discharge | Internal pull-down transistors rapidly discharge both outputs upon disable - prevents floating rails and ensures clean reset behavior |
| Stability with zero-load & any capacitor | Operates stably with 0 mA load and 1.0 µF MLCC (no ESR requirement) - eliminates need for bulk electrolytics in space-constrained designs |
| Ultra-low noise without bypass cap | 20 µVRMS (10 Hz–100 kHz) at 0.8 V output - suitable for noise-sensitive analog circuits (e.g., ADC references, RF bias rails) |
| Input UVLO with hysteresis | UVLO activates at 1.9–2.1 V with 0.1 V hysteresis - prevents erratic startup during brown-out and ensures clean power-on reset |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6223D152MR-G | Single-output, 1.5 V only; 200 mA max; 300 mV dropout @ 100 mA; no EN2 or VOUT2 | Lacks second output - requires additional regulator for 2.4 V rail; increases BOM count and layout complexity | Select only if 2.4 V rail is supplied elsewhere; not a functional substitute for dual-rail operation. |
| Diodes Inc. AP7362-1524W5-7 | Dual-output (1.5/2.4 V), 300 mA/channel, but uses SOT-25 package (larger footprint, higher θJA = 250°C/W) | Requires PCB redesign due to 2.9×2.8 mm SOT-25 vs. 2×2 mm DFN8; less suitable for ultra-compact modules | Choose when thermal constraints permit larger package or legacy SMT lines lack DFN8 capability. |
Compared with NCP590MNOATAG, the XC6223D152MR-G omits dual-rail functionality entirely, while the AP7362-1524W5-7 matches electrical specs but sacrifices space efficiency and thermal performance - making NCP590MNOATAG the optimal choice for miniaturized, thermally demanding dual-rail systems.

FAQ
What are the exact output voltages of the NCP590MNOATAG?
The NCP590MNOATAG delivers precisely 1.5 V on VOUT1 and 2.4 V on VOUT2 - factory-trimmed fixed outputs confirmed in the Ordering Information table (page 10) and validated by electrical test limits across -40°C to +85°C. These values are not adjustable and do not require external feedback resistors.
Does the NCP590MNOATAG support independent enable control for each output?
Yes, the NCP590MNOATAG provides fully independent enable inputs: EN1 controls VOUT1 (1.5 V) and EN2 controls VOUT2 (2.4 V), each with a 0.95 V logic-high threshold and 0.4 V logic-low threshold. This allows flexible power sequencing - for example, enabling the 1.5 V core before the 2.4 V I/O rail - without external logic.
What is the minimum output capacitance required for stability with the NCP590MNOATAG?
The NCP590MNOATAG is stable with output capacitance ranging from 0.7 µF to 4.7 µF and any ESR value, including zero-ESR MLCCs. A 1.0 µF ceramic capacitor is recommended per output (COUT1/COUT2) and is sufficient for full-load stability, transient response, and start-up delay - no bulk electrolytic capacitor is needed.
Can the NCP590MNOATAG operate from a 2.1 V input supply?
Yes, the NCP590MNOATAG has a minimum input voltage of 2.1 V (per Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables), which supports operation from single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2 V) or LiFePO₄ (2.0–3.6 V) batteries. At 2.1 V input, it can sustain 1.5 V output with ~600 mV dropout margin - well within its 165 mV max dropout at 300 mA.
Is thermal pad connection mandatory for the NCP590MNOATAG DFN8 package?
Yes, the exposed thermal pad (PAD) must be soldered to a PCB ground plane to achieve rated thermal performance. The datasheet specifies θJA = 158°C/W only when the pad is connected to 207 mm² of 1 oz copper; floating the pad degrades thermal resistance by >100°C/W and risks thermal shutdown under 300 mA load.
