Product details
Overview
NCP691MN33T2G from onsemi is a fixed-output 3.3 V, 1 A CMOS low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator in a 6-lead DFN3x3 package. It features ±2% output voltage tolerance over −40°C to 125°C, 190 mV dropout at 1 A (VOUT = 2.5 V), active low enable (EN), and active output discharge - designed for space-constrained portable battery-powered systems such as FPGA and microprocessor core rails.
For engineers reviewing the NCP691MN33T2G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include guaranteed 1 A output current with low ground current (145 µA typical at 1 A), high PSRR (62 dB at 120 Hz), low noise (50 µVrms), thermal shutdown (175°C), and compatibility with low-ESR ceramic capacitors without minimum ESR requirements.
Technical Context
The NCP691MN33T2G implements a PMOS pass transistor architecture with bandgap reference, internal current limiting, and thermal shutdown. Its active-low EN pin enables precise power sequencing control in multi-rail systems, while the SNS (sense) pin provides remote output voltage sensing for improved load regulation under PCB trace resistance.
It operates across 1.5 V to 6.0 V input range and delivers stable 3.3 V output with ±2% tolerance across full temperature and load conditions. The device supports operation down to −40°C and up to 125°C junction temperature, with integrated active discharge ensuring rapid output voltage decay upon disable - critical for safe power-down in DSP and PCI card applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3 V with ±2% tolerance over −40°C to 125°C - ensures reliable core logic supply under thermal stress and aging. |
| Max Output Current | Guaranteed 1 A continuous - supports demanding digital loads like FPGA I/O banks and microprocessor cores. |
| Dropout Voltage | 190 mV at 1 A (VOUT = 2.5 V, TJ = 25°C); ≤250 mV across full temp/load - enables operation from 3.55 V input while maintaining regulation. |
| Ground Current | 145 µA typical at 1 A load - minimizes quiescent power loss in battery-backed systems. |
| PSRR | 62 dB at 120 Hz, 55 dB at 1 kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Noise Voltage | 50 µVrms (200 Hz–100 kHz, no bypass capacitor) - eliminates need for external noise-reduction caps in sensitive analog/digital mixed-signal rails. |
| Enable Logic | Active-low EN with 0.4 V max low-level threshold - compatible with standard 1.8 V/3.3 V GPIOs for controlled power-up sequencing. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DFN6 3×3 mm, 0.95 mm pitch, exposed thermal pad (Case 506AH, MN suffix). Pin 1 marked by notch or dot; pins 1 and 6 are parallel IN inputs requiring connection together for full 1 A capability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 6 | IN | Dual input voltage pins - must be shorted externally to deliver full 1 A output current and reduce trace IR drop. |
| 2 | GND | Power ground tied to exposed EPAD - requires soldering to ≥64 mm² copper pour for thermal management (RJA = 70°C/W). |
| 3 | EN | Active-low enable - pulled high internally; drives regulator ON when ≥0.9 V, OFF when ≤0.4 V; supports power sequencing. |
| 4 | OUT | Regulated 3.3 V output - connects directly to load; SNS pin must be shorted to this pin for fixed-voltage operation. |
| 5 | SNS | Sense input - tied directly to OUT in fixed versions; enables remote sensing for improved load regulation in high-current layouts. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Active Output Discharge | Internal NMOS discharges OUT to GND within microseconds after EN deactivation - prevents floating rail during power-down. |
| Enhanced ESD Protection | 4 kV HBM / 200 V MM - exceeds JEDEC JESD22-A114/A115, enabling robust handling in automated assembly lines. |
| Ceramic Capacitor Stability | Stable with ≥1 µF ceramic output cap (no minimum ESR required) - reduces BOM cost and board area vs. tantalum alternatives. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 175°C trip with 10°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking without latch-up. |
| Low Noise Operation | 50 µVrms broadband noise without bypass cap - eliminates need for external RC filters in RF or ADC reference supplies. |
Applications
| Laptop Core Power Rail | FPGA I/O Bank Supply |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NCP690MN33T2G | Same 3.3 V fixed output, but lacks EN pin (pin 3 = N/C); no enable control or active discharge. | Suitable only for always-on rails; cannot support power sequencing or fast discharge requirements. | Select when enable functionality is unnecessary and lowest BOM cost is prioritized. |
| NCP692MN33T2G | Identical specs except EN pin is active-high (0.9 V threshold), not active-low. | Requires inverted enable signal or level-shifting in existing active-low control architectures. | Choose only if system GPIOs are active-high or if redesign accommodates polarity change. |
Compared with NCP690MN33T2G and NCP692MN33T2G, the NCP691MN33T2G uniquely combines active-low enable with active output discharge - enabling precise power-down control and safe I/O state management in multi-rail embedded systems without external circuitry.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCP691MN33T2G?
The NCP691MN33T2G has an absolute maximum input voltage (VIN) of 6.5 V. However, its recommended operating input range is 1.5 V to 6.0 V. Exceeding 6.5 V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings (Table 3). For reliable 3.3 V output, minimum input is VOUT + VDO ≈ 3.55 V at 1 A load.
Does the NCP691MN33T2G require an external bypass capacitor for noise reduction?
No, the NCP691MN33T2G does not require an external bypass capacitor for noise reduction. Its typical output noise is 50 µVrms (200 Hz–100 kHz) without any bypass cap, as confirmed in Table 6 and Applications Information section. This eliminates added cost, board area, and startup delay associated with traditional low-noise LDOs.
How is the enable function implemented on the NCP691MN33T2G?
The NCP691MN33T2G features an active-low enable (EN) pin (Pin 3). The regulator turns ON when EN ≥ 0.9 V and OFF when EN ≤ 0.4 V. When unused, EN must be tied to VIN to ensure continuous operation. Its enable input current is ≤250 nA, minimizing control circuit loading - a key detail specified in Table 6 under "Enable Input Current (Enable Active Low)".
What thermal performance can be expected from the NCP691MN33T2G in a standard PCB layout?
With the NCP691MN33T2G mounted on FR4 with 64 mm² copper area, its junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RJA) is 70°C/W (Table 4). At 1 A load with 3.55 V input, power dissipation is ~225 mW, resulting in ~16°C junction rise above ambient - well within the −40°C to 125°C operating range. Larger copper pours further reduce thermal resistance.
Is the NCP691MN33T2G suitable for automotive applications?
The NCP691MN33T2G is not AEC-Q100 qualified. For automotive use, onsemi offers the pin-compatible NCV8690MN33T2G (NCV prefix), which is AEC-Q100 qualified and PPAP capable. The NCP691MN33T2G is intended for industrial, computing, and consumer applications where extended temperature range (−40°C to 125°C) is required but formal automotive qualification is not mandated.
