Product details
Overview
NCP691MNADJT2G from onsemi is a 1 A adjustable-output CMOS low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator with active-low enable, ±1.5% output voltage tolerance, 190 mV dropout at 1 A (VOUT = 2.5 V), and 50 µVRMS output noise - designed for space-constrained portable battery-powered systems such as FPGA and microprocessor power rails.
For engineers reviewing the NCP691MNADJT2G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its DFN6 3×3 mm package with exposed thermal pad, EN-active-low control logic, adjustable output range (1.25 V to 5.0 V), guaranteed 1 A load capability, and compatibility with low-ESR ceramic capacitors without minimum ESR requirement.
Technical Context
The NCP691MNADJT2G implements a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling very low dropout operation and high PSRR (62 dB at 120 Hz). Its bandgap reference and feedback loop support stable regulation across −40°C to +125°C junction temperature, with internal thermal shutdown (175°C) and current limiting (1.1–2.4 A).
It features active output discharge during disable, ground current as low as 145 µA at 1 A load, and operates from 1.5 V to 6.0 V input while maintaining regulation down to VOUT + VDO. The ADJ pin accepts external resistor divider networks for precise output setting, with feedback current ≤320 nA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | Guaranteed 1 A continuous output - supports high-current digital loads like FPGAs without derating under typical PCB thermal conditions. |
| Dropout Voltage | 190 mV at 1 A, VOUT = 2.5 V - enables efficient regulation from low-input sources such as single-cell Li-ion (3.0 V min) or buck-boost pre-regulators. |
| Output Voltage Range | Adjustable from 1.25 V to 5.0 V via external resistors - covers core voltages for DSPs, microprocessors, and I/O rails in portable systems. |
| Output Voltage Tolerance | ±1.5% over all operating conditions - ensures tight supply margining for sensitive logic and analog circuitry without additional trimming. |
| Noise Performance | 50 µVRMS (200 Hz–100 kHz) - eliminates need for external noise-reduction capacitors, simplifying layout and reducing BOM count. |
| Enable Logic | Active-low EN pin - allows direct interfacing with standard GPIOs or power sequencers requiring negative-enable signaling. |
| Thermal Protection | Internal thermal shutdown at 175°C with 10°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DFN6 3×3 mm, 0.95 mm pitch, exposed thermal pad (Case 506AH, MN suffix). Thermal resistance RJA = 70°C/W with 645 mm² copper area.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 6 (IN) | Input voltage supply | Dual input pins must be connected together to deliver full 1 A output current and minimize trace impedance. |
| 2 (GND) | Power ground / thermal pad | Connected to die via lead frame; soldered to PCB copper plane for effective heat dissipation and low-noise grounding. |
| 3 (EN) | Enable control input | Active-low logic: device enabled when EN < 0.4 V; disabled when EN > 0.9 V - supports power sequencing and standby modes. |
| 4 (ADJ) | Feedback reference node | Connects to midpoint of external R1/R2 divider; 210–320 nA bias current enables high-resistor values for low quiescent error. |
| 5 (OUT) | Regulated output | Delivers stable output voltage; requires local 1 µF ceramic capacitor (10 µF recommended) for transient response and stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Active output discharge | Drains output capacitance when disabled - prevents floating rail and ensures clean power-down sequencing in multi-rail systems. |
| Low ground current | 145 µA at 1 A load - minimizes total system power loss and extends battery life in always-on portable applications. |
| High PSRR | 62 dB at 120 Hz - suppresses ripple from noisy switch-mode pre-regulators, reducing need for additional filtering stages. |
| Ceramic capacitor compatible | No minimum ESR required - enables use of small, low-cost, high-reliability MLCCs instead of larger tantalum or aluminum electrolytics. |
| Enhanced ESD protection | 4 kV HBM, 200 V MM - improves robustness during board assembly and field handling without external protection devices. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NCP692MNADJT2G | Same architecture and pinout, but EN pin is active-high - requires inverted control signal or level-shifting circuitry. | Suitable where host processor GPIOs default to high-state or where power-up sequencing mandates positive-enable logic. | Select when system-level enable logic is active-high; verify EN threshold (0.9 V HI / 0.4 V LO) matches driving source. |
| TPS7A4700RGWR | Lower noise (4.7 µVRMS), higher IQ (1 mA), fixed 3.3 V or adjustable (1.4–20.5 V), SOIC-8 package - not pin-compatible. | Better suited for ultra-sensitive analog front-ends (e.g., precision ADCs, op-amps) where sub-10 µV noise is critical. | Choose only if noise performance is primary constraint and board redesign for SOIC-8 is acceptable; not drop-in replacement. |
Compared with NCP691MNADJT2G, NCP692MNADJT2G offers identical electrical specs but reversed enable polarity - ideal for systems with native high-assert logic; TPS7A4700RGWR delivers superior noise reduction but at higher quiescent current and larger footprint, making it appropriate only for noise-critical analog domains rather than digital core rails.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for NCP691MNADJT2G to deliver 1 A at 1.25 V output?
The minimum input voltage is determined by dropout: VIN(MIN) = VOUT + VDO. For 1.25 V output, typical dropout is 450 mV at 1 A, so VIN(MIN) = 1.7 V. The datasheet recommends ≥1.75 V for guaranteed 1 A operation across temperature and process variation. NCP691MNADJT2G will not regulate below this threshold.
Does NCP691MNADJT2G require an external bypass capacitor on the ADJ pin?
No, NCP691MNADJT2G does not require an external capacitor on the ADJ pin. Its feedback network is designed for direct connection to the resistor divider; adding capacitance may destabilize regulation. The device achieves 50 µVRMS noise without any ADJ-side filtering - a key differentiator versus older LDO architectures that mandate noise-reduction caps.
Can NCP691MNADJT2G be used with ceramic output capacitors smaller than 1 µF?
No - the datasheet specifies a minimum 1 µF ceramic capacitor on the OUT pin for stability. While larger values (e.g., 10 µF) improve load transient response and noise rejection, using less than 1 µF risks oscillation or loss of regulation under dynamic load conditions. NCP691MNADJT2G is stable with ceramic capacitors but has a hard lower limit.
What is the function of pins 1 and 6 on NCP691MNADJT2G, and can they be used independently?
Pins 1 and 6 are both IN terminals and must be connected together externally to achieve full 1 A output current capability. They are not independent inputs - splitting them reduces current capacity and increases thermal resistance. The dual-pin design lowers package inductance and improves high-frequency PSRR, but requires parallel routing to the input bulk capacitor.
Is NCP691MNADJT2G qualified for automotive applications?
No - NCP691MNADJT2G is not AEC-Q100 qualified. For automotive use, onsemi offers the NCV8690MNADJT2G (same pinout and electrical specs) with NCV prefix, PPAP capability, and extended temperature support (−40°C to +150°C junction). NCP691MNADJT2G is rated for −40°C to +125°C and intended for industrial and consumer portable equipment.
