Product details
Overview
NCP693DMN25TCG from onsemi is a fixed-output, 2.5 V, 1 A CMOS low-dropout linear regulator in a DFN-6 (1.8×2 mm) package, featuring ±1.0% output voltage accuracy, ultra-low 0.15–0.6 µA standby current with CE control, and built-in auto-discharge for rapid turn-off. It serves as the primary power rail for core logic in portable battery-powered systems requiring stable low-noise 2.5 V supply under dynamic load.
For engineers reviewing the NCP693DMN25TCG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 1 A (0.500 V typ), thermal shutdown (165°C), PSRR (70 dB @ 1 kHz), output noise (45 µVrms), and compatibility with ceramic output capacitors ≥2.2 µF.
Technical Context
The NCP693DMN25TCG integrates a PMOS pass transistor, precision voltage reference, error amplifier, and enable-controlled auto-discharge circuit optimized for fast turn-off response-distinctive to the "D" version versus standard "H" variants. Its architecture supports operation from 1.6 V to 6.5 V input while maintaining regulation down to 2.5 V output.
It delivers 1 A continuous output current with thermal shutdown and current limiting (250 mA short-circuit limit), operates across −40°C to +85°C ambient, and achieves 70 dB power supply rejection at 1 kHz with 45 µVrms integrated output noise over 10 Hz–100 kHz bandwidth.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.5 V ±1.0% (0.760–0.827 V range over temp for 0.8 V variant; 2.435–2.545 V for NCP693DMN25TCG) |
| Max Output Current | 1 A continuous - sufficient to power ARM Cortex-M cores, FPGA I/O banks, or RF transceivers |
| Dropout Voltage | 0.500 V typ @ 1 A (Vin ≥ 3.0 V required for full 2.5 V regulation at max load) |
| PSRR | 70 dB @ 1 kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters |
| Output Noise | 45 µVrms (10 Hz–100 kHz) - suitable for noise-sensitive analog/RF circuitry |
| Standby Current | 0.15–0.6 µA @ Vin = 6.5 V - enables multi-week battery life in always-on sensor nodes |
| Thermal Shutdown | 165°C with 30°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design |
Pinout & Package
Package: UDFN-6 (1.8 mm × 2.0 mm, 0.50 mm pitch), exposed thermal pad (EP = GND), RoHS-compliant Pb-free construction (Case 517BA).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2 | Vout | Dual parallel output pins reduce IR drop and improve current sharing; must be connected together externally |
| 3, EP | GND | Power ground return and primary thermal path via exposed pad; requires solid copper pour for thermal relief |
| 4 | CE | Active-high enable: logic high ≥1.0 V turns regulator on; logic low ≤0.4 V disables output and activates auto-discharge |
| 5, 6 | Vin | Dual parallel input pins lower series resistance and enhance decoupling effectiveness; connect close to 2.2 µF input capacitor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto-discharge circuit | Actively discharges output capacitance when CE is pulled low - prevents residual voltage hold-up in power sequencing |
| Ultra-low standby current | 0.15 µA min enables >1-year shelf life in battery-backed IoT endpoints without manual reset |
| ±1.0% output accuracy | Meets tight tolerance requirements for ADC references, PLL VCO supplies, and memory I/O rails |
| Ceramic capacitor compatible | Stable with ≥2.2 µF X5R/X7R MLCCs - eliminates need for larger, higher-ESR tantalum capacitors |
| Thermal & current protection | Integrated thermal shutdown (165°C) and 250 mA current limit prevent damage during fault conditions |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1703T-2502E/MB | 2.5 V, 250 mA max, 6 µA quiescent current, no auto-discharge, SOT-23-5 | Limited to low-current peripherals; lacks fast turn-off and 1 A capability | Select only for space-constrained, sub-250 mA loads where auto-discharge is unnecessary |
| TLS850B2TEV50 | 2.5 V, 500 mA, 35 µA IQ, automotive AEC-Q100 qualified, HTSSOP-8 | Higher IQ, lower current rating, automotive-qualified but larger footprint and no auto-discharge | Prefer for automotive infotainment modules needing qualification; not suitable for portable battery life optimization |
Compared with NCP693DMN25TCG, MCP1703T-2502E/MB trades 1 A capacity and auto-discharge for smaller size and lower cost in low-power roles, while TLS850B2TEV50 offers automotive reliability at the expense of standby current efficiency and turn-off speed-neither matches the combination of 1 A, sub-µA standby, and active discharge in a 1.8×2 mm DFN.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for NCP693DMN25TCG to regulate 2.5 V at 1 A?
The NCP693DMN25TCG requires a minimum input voltage of 3.0 V to maintain 2.5 V output at 1 A load, based on its typical dropout voltage of 0.500 V at that condition. At lighter loads (e.g., 10 mA), dropout drops to 0.150 V, allowing regulation from as low as 2.65 V. Always verify margin using worst-case max dropout (0.650 V) in design.
Does NCP693DMN25TCG require an external pull-up resistor on the CE pin?
No, the NCP693DMN25TCG does not require an external pull-up on CE. When unused, the CE pin must be tied directly to Vin to ensure the regulator remains enabled. The internal structure does not include a weak pull-up; leaving CE floating risks undefined behavior or unintended disablement due to noise coupling.
How does the auto-discharge function work in NCP693DMN25TCG?
In NCP693DMN25TCG, the auto-discharge function activates when the CE pin is driven low: an internal NMOS transistor connects Vout to GND, rapidly discharging external output capacitance. This feature is exclusive to "D" versions and ensures output falls to near-zero volts within microseconds-critical for safe power sequencing in multi-rail systems.
Can NCP693DMN25TCG operate with a 1 µF ceramic output capacitor?
No-NCP693DMN25TCG requires a minimum 2.2 µF ceramic output capacitor (X5R/X7R) for stability, as specified in the datasheet. Using 1 µF may cause oscillation or poor transient response, especially under load steps. Larger values (e.g., 4.7–10 µF) further improve PSRR and load regulation but do not compromise stability.
Is NCP693DMN25TCG pin-compatible with other NCP693 variants like NCP693HMN25TCG?
Yes-NCP693DMN25TCG and NCP693HMN25TCG share identical pinout, package (UDFN-6), and electrical connections. The only functional difference is the inclusion of auto-discharge circuitry in the "D" version; otherwise, both are drop-in replacements for 2.5 V applications where fast turn-off is not required.
