Product details
Overview
NCP706MX22TAG from onsemi is a 2.2 V fixed-output, 1 A very low dropout (LDO) linear regulator with enable control, ±1% output voltage accuracy over load/line/temperature, 155 mV max dropout at 1 A, and stable operation with only a 4.7 µF ceramic output capacitor - designed for Li-ion battery-powered portable electronics including smartphones and tablets.
For engineers reviewing the NCP706MX22TAG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include its XDFN8 1.6×1.2 mm package, thermal shutdown and current limit protection, PSRR of 70 dB at 1 kHz, and compatibility with space-constrained, low-noise power rails requiring tight regulation and fast transient response.
Technical Context
The NCP706MX22TAG integrates a PMOS pass transistor enabling ultra-low dropout performance and internal soft-start to limit inrush current during enable assertion. Its remote sense (SNS) pin supports accurate regulation at the load by compensating for PCB trace IR drop.
It operates across an input range of 2.5 V to 5.5 V, delivers up to 1 A continuous output current, and features undervoltage lockout (UVLO) at 1.2–1.9 V, thermal shutdown at 160 °C with 20 °C hysteresis, and shutdown current below 1 µA - making it suitable for always-on subsystems in battery-critical applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.2 V ±1% (2.178–2.222 V), guaranteed over −40°C to +125°C, load 0–1 A, and input 2.5–4.5 V. |
| Max Dropout Voltage | 155 mV at 1 A load - enables regulation down to VIN = 2.355 V, critical for extending battery runtime in single-cell Li-ion systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 180–230 µA at zero load - minimizes standby power loss in always-on circuits such as real-time clocks or sensor bias rails. |
| PSRR | 70 dB at 1 kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters, improving signal integrity in RF and audio subsystems. |
| Stability Capacitor | Stable with ≥4.7 µF ceramic output capacitor - eliminates need for high-ESR tantalum, reducing BOM cost and board area. |
| Enable Threshold | EN high threshold = 0.9 V min; low threshold = 0.4 V max - compatible with 1.8 V and 3.3 V logic I/O without level shifting. |
| Thermal Resistance | RJA = 160 °C/W (XDFN8 1.6×1.2 mm) - requires minimal copper pour for thermal relief in compact layouts. |
Pinout & Package
XDFN8 1.6 mm × 1.2 mm, 0.4 mm pitch, thermally enhanced package with exposed ground pad (Case 711AS). The 8-pin layout supports high-density placement and efficient heat dissipation via PCB ground plane connection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2 - OUT | Regulated output voltage terminals | Dual parallel outputs reduce current density and trace resistance; connect directly to load rail with low-inductance path. |
| 3 - N/C | Not connected | May be tied to GND to improve thermal conduction from die to PCB; no electrical function. |
| 4 - SNS | Remote output voltage sense | Connects directly to load point to compensate for voltage drop across PCB traces - essential for <±1% regulation accuracy under dynamic load. |
| 5 - GND | Power supply ground reference | Primary return path for load current; must be low-impedance and tied to exposed pad for optimal thermal and noise performance. |
| 6 - EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic input; drives regulator ON when >0.9 V, OFF when <0.4 V; draws ≤500 nA - suitable for microcontroller GPIO control. |
| 7, 8 - IN | Input voltage supply terminals | Dual parallel inputs minimize input trace impedance and improve high-frequency decoupling; require local 4.7 µF ceramic capacitor. |
| Exposed Pad | Thermal & electrical ground | Electrically connected to GND; must be soldered to large PCB ground plane to achieve rated RJA and prevent thermal shutdown. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Very low dropout | 155 mV max at 1 A - sustains regulation with minimal headroom, maximizing usable battery voltage range in 2.5–5.5 V input systems. |
| ±1% output accuracy | Over full temperature (−40°C to +125°C), line, and load - ensures reliable operation of precision analog and digital ICs without post-regulation trimming. |
| Internal soft-start | 200 µs typical turn-on time - prevents output overshoot and limits inrush current into large downstream capacitance, protecting source and load. |
| High PSRR | 70 dB at 1 kHz - rejects ripple from noisy switchers, enabling clean power for sensitive RF, ADC, and PLL circuits. |
| Robust protection | Thermal shutdown (160 °C), current limiting (1.1 A min), and reverse leakage <5 µA in shutdown - ensures fault resilience in unattended embedded systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6210B22MR-G | 2.2 V fixed, 1 A, 250 mV dropout (at 1 A), 25 µA IQ, SOT-25 package (2.9×2.8 mm) | Larger footprint, higher dropout, lower IQ - suited for cost-sensitive, non-space-constrained designs with less stringent battery runtime needs. | Select if board area allows larger SOT-25 and dropout margin >250 mV is acceptable; not suitable for Li-ion end-of-discharge operation. |
| Richtek RT9013-22GJ5 | 2.2 V fixed, 500 mA, 180 mV dropout (at 500 mA), 65 µA IQ, DFN-6 (2×2 mm) | Lower current rating, smaller package, lower IQ - appropriate for sub-500 mA loads where ultra-low standby power is prioritized over peak current. | Choose when load current ≤500 mA and quiescent current <100 µA is mandatory; insufficient for 1 A applications like memory rails. |
Compared with Torex XC6210B22MR-G and Richtek RT9013-22GJ5, the NCP706MX22TAG uniquely combines 1 A output, 155 mV dropout, and XDFN8's 1.6×1.2 mm footprint - enabling higher current density and longer battery life in miniaturized portable systems where both size and efficiency are critical.

FAQ
What is the minimum output capacitor required for stable operation of the NCP706MX22TAG?
The NCP706MX22TAG requires a minimum 4.7 µF ceramic output capacitor for guaranteed stability across all operating conditions. This value is explicitly specified in the Applications Information section of the datasheet for the NCP706MX22TAG and NCP706MX21TAG variants. Larger values improve PSRR and load transient response but are not required for basic stability.
Does the NCP706MX22TAG support remote voltage sensing, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the NCP706MX22TAG supports remote voltage sensing via its dedicated SNS pin (Pin 4). This pin must be connected directly to the load-side of the output rail to compensate for voltage drop across PCB traces. When used correctly, the SNS feedback loop maintains ±1% output accuracy at the load point - a critical feature for precision analog and high-speed digital applications.
What is the maximum junction temperature and thermal shutdown behavior of the NCP706MX22TAG?
The NCP706MX22TAG has a maximum junction temperature of 150 °C and activates thermal shutdown at 160 °C (with 20 °C hysteresis). Once triggered, the device disables output until junction temperature falls below 140 °C. This protection is fully integrated and requires no external components - ensuring safe operation under overload or poor PCB thermal design.
Can the NCP706MX22TAG be used with input voltages below 2.5 V?
No - the NCP706MX22TAG has a specified minimum operating input voltage of 2.5 V, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table for the 2.2 V version. Operation below this voltage may result in UVLO activation (threshold 1.2–1.9 V) or failure to regulate. For sub-2.5 V operation, consider alternative regulators such as the NCP706MX21TAG (2.1 V version, min VIN = 2.4 V).
How does the enable (EN) pin of the NCP706MX22TAG interface with common logic families?
The EN pin of the NCP706MX22TAG has a guaranteed high threshold of ≥0.9 V and low threshold of ≤0.4 V, making it directly compatible with 1.8 V and 3.3 V CMOS logic outputs without level shifting. Its input current is ≤500 nA, placing negligible load on driving GPIOs - enabling direct control from microcontrollers, PMICs, or sequencers in complex power architectures.
