Product details
Overview
NCP703MX28TCG from onsemi is a 300 mA, fixed 2.8 V output ultra-low-noise LDO voltage regulator in XDFN-6 (1.5 × 1.5 mm) package, featuring 12 µA typical quiescent current, 13 µVRMS output noise (100 Hz–100 kHz), and 180 mV typical dropout at 300 mA - designed for powering noise-sensitive RF circuitry such as power amplifiers in satellite radios and infotainment systems.
For engineers reviewing the NCP703MX28TCG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its ultra-low IQ operation under light load, absence of required external noise-bypass capacitor, ±2% output accuracy over load/line/temperature, active output discharge, and compatibility with 1 µF ceramic output capacitor.
Technical Context
The NCP703MX28TCG employs a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling low dropout and reverse-current protection via inherent body diode management. Its adaptive ground current control dynamically reduces IQ to 12 µA at no load while maintaining fast transient response.
Internal circuitry includes undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with 1.6 V turn-on threshold and 100 mV hysteresis, thermal shutdown at 160°C with 20°C hysteresis, and internal soft-start limiting inrush current. The EN pin provides logic-level enable/disable with 0.9 V high threshold and 0.4 V low threshold, plus built-in 110 nA pull-down for default-off safety.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.8 V ±2% over load/line/temperature - ensures stable biasing for RF PA stages without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 300 mA continuous - supports moderate-power analog/RF loads without thermal derating on standard PCBs. |
| Quiescent Current | 12 µA typical at zero load - extends battery life in always-on portable devices like GPS modules and Bluetooth headsets. |
| Output Noise | 13 µVRMS (100 Hz–100 kHz) - eliminates need for external noise-bypass capacitor, reducing BOM count and board area. |
| PSRR | 68 dB at 1 kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding sensitive RF receivers. |
| Dropout Voltage | 180 mV typical at 300 mA - enables operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0 V min) down to 2.98 V while maintaining regulation. |
| Enable Threshold | 0.9 V (high), 0.4 V (low) - compatible with 1.8 V and 3.3 V GPIOs without level-shifting. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 160°C activation with 20°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
XDFN-6 (1.5 × 1.5 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) package with wettable flank leads for automated optical inspection (AOI). Exposed thermal pad enhances thermal performance (θJA = 146°C/W, θJB = 77°C/W on 1 oz FR4).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input supply connection | Accepts 2.0–5.5 V input; requires ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor close to pin for stability and noise filtering. |
| 2 (EN) | Logic-enable control input | Drives >0.9 V to enable regulator; <0.4 V disables output and activates active discharge (320 Ω to GND). |
| 3 (N/C) | No-connect terminal | Internally unconnected; may be tied to GND to improve thermal dissipation without electrical impact. |
| 4 (OUT) | Regulated output voltage | Delivers 2.8 V ±2%; stable with ≥1 µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor; low ESR (<900 mΩ) recommended. |
| 5 (GND) | Power ground reference | Die ground connected to lead frame; soldered to large copper pour for optimal thermal conduction and noise rejection. |
| 6 (N/C) | No-connect terminal | Internally unconnected; electrically isolated; no routing or connection required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low noise without bypass cap | 13 µVRMS output noise achieved with only 1 µF COUT, eliminating cost and space penalty of dedicated noise-filter capacitor. |
| Dynamic IQ management | Adaptive ground current drops to 12 µA at no load while preserving full 300 mA capability and transient response. |
| Active output discharge | 320 Ω internal discharge path pulls VOUT to GND within milliseconds after EN deactivation - critical for sequencing in multi-rail systems. |
| Stable with minimal capacitance | Guaranteed stability with 0.1 µF effective COUT, accommodating DC-bias derating of small-case ceramics (e.g., 0402). |
| Robust protection suite | Integrated thermal shutdown (160°C), current limit (~490 mA), short-circuit protection, and UVLO prevent fault propagation in compact portable designs. |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the NCP703MX28TCG over temperature and load?
The NCP703MX28TCG maintains ±2% output voltage accuracy across −40°C to +125°C junction temperature, full 0–300 mA load range, and input voltage from VOUT + 0.5 V to 5.5 V. This is verified per Table 4 in the datasheet and ensures reliable biasing for RF PAs and precision ADCs without calibration.
Does the NCP703MX28TCG require an external noise-bypass capacitor?
No, the NCP703MX28TCG achieves 13 µVRMS output noise (100 Hz–100 kHz) without any external noise-bypass capacitor. Its internal design eliminates the need for a dedicated Cnr, reducing BOM count and PCB area - confirmed in the "Features" section and Figure 3–6 of the datasheet.
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCP703MX28TCG?
The absolute maximum input voltage for the NCP703MX28TCG is 6 V, as specified in Table 2 ("Absolute Maximum Ratings"). Continuous operation above 5.5 V or below −0.3 V risks permanent damage; recommended operating range is 2.0 V to 5.5 V per Table 4.
How does the enable pin (EN) function on the NCP703MX28TCG?
The EN pin on the NCP703MX28TCG enables logic-level control: driving EN >0.9 V turns on regulation; pulling EN <0.4 V disables output and activates active discharge (320 Ω to GND). An internal 110 nA pull-down ensures safe default-off state if left floating.
Can the NCP703MX28TCG be used with a 1 µF ceramic output capacitor?
Yes - the NCP703MX28TCG is explicitly characterized and guaranteed stable with a 1 µF X5R/X7R ceramic output capacitor (COUT). The datasheet confirms this in "Features", "Typical Application Schematic", and Table 4 test conditions, and notes minimum effective capacitance of 0.1 µF accounts for DC-bias derating.
