Product details
Overview
NCP717AMX280TCG from onsemi is a 300 mA, fixed 2.8 V low-dropout linear regulator with ultra-low quiescent current (25 µA typ.), 22 µVRMS output noise (100 Hz–100 kHz), and 175 mV typical dropout at full load - designed for noise-sensitive, space-constrained battery-powered systems such as GPS modules and Bluetooth handsets.
For engineers reviewing the NCP717AMX280TCG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its active output discharge function (1.2 kΩ), ±2% output accuracy over load/line/temperature, stability with 1 µF ceramic output capacitor, and XDFN4 1.0×1.0 mm package compatibility with high-density portable PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The NCP717AMX280TCG integrates a PMOS pass transistor with adaptive ground current control to maintain 25 µA IQ at no-load while delivering 300 mA output. Its internal bandgap reference and error amplifier ensure ±2% output regulation across −40°C to +125°C junction temperature.
It features logic-controlled enable (EN) with 0.9 V turn-on / 0.4 V shutdown thresholds, built-in thermal shutdown (160°C trip), current limiting (379 mA typ.), and active output discharge via integrated 1.2 kΩ pull-down resistor - confirmed exclusively for "A"-suffix variants like NCP717AMX280TCG.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.8 V ±2% - stable regulation across load (0–300 mA), line (1.8–5.5 V), and temperature (−40°C to +125°C). |
| Quiescent Current | 25 µA typ. at no-load - enables multi-year battery life in always-on IoT sensors and wearable standby modes. |
| Dropout Voltage | 175 mV typ. at 300 mA - supports operation down to VIN = 2.975 V, critical for single-cell Li-ion (3.0 V min) and coin-cell applications. |
| Output Noise | 22 µVRMS (100 Hz–100 kHz) - meets stringent RF and ADC reference supply requirements without external filtering. |
| PSRR | 70 dB at 1 kHz - suppresses switching regulator ripple from upstream DC/DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Enable Threshold | VEN_HI = 0.9 V, VEN_LO = 0.4 V - compatible with 1.8 V and 3.3 V GPIOs; includes 56 mV hysteresis to reject EN pin noise. |
| Active Discharge | 1.2 kΩ pull-down (A-version only) - discharges output within microseconds after shutdown, preventing back-powering of downstream circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
XDFN4 1.0×1.0 mm, 0.65 mm pitch, exposed pad (EPAD) - thermally enhanced for low RθJA (250°C/W) when soldered to GND plane.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: OUT | Regulated output | Delivers 2.8 V; requires ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor to GND for stability; connects to load and feedback path. |
| 2: GND | Power ground | Reference node for all internal circuits; EPAD must be soldered directly to PCB GND plane for thermal and electrical integrity. |
| 3: EN | Enable control input | Logic-high (>0.9 V) enables regulation; logic-low (<0.4 V) disables output and activates 1.2 kΩ discharge path to GND. |
| 4: IN | Input supply | Accepts 1.8–5.5 V; requires ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor to GND close to pin to suppress input transients and EMI. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low IQ | 25 µA typ. at zero load - extends battery runtime in always-on monitoring nodes without sacrificing regulation performance. |
| Low-noise output | 22 µVRMS noise floor - eliminates need for post-LDO LC filters in precision analog signal chains and RF power amplifiers. |
| Active output discharge | Integrated 1.2 kΩ pull-down (A-version only) - ensures rapid, controlled VOUT decay during power-down, preventing latch-up in multi-rail systems. |
| Stable with 1 µF COUT | No ESR requirement for output capacitor - enables use of small, low-cost 0402/0603 X5R/X7R ceramics, reducing BOM count and board area. |
| Robust protection | Thermal shutdown (160°C), current limit (379 mA), and short-circuit immunity - eliminates need for external fault management circuitry in consumer-grade designs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO voltage regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6210B282MR-G | 280 mV dropout at 300 mA; 35 µA IQ; no active discharge; SOT-25 package (2.9×2.8 mm) | Larger footprint; higher dropout limits usable input range; lacks fast discharge for audio sequencing | Select when board space allows larger package and active discharge is unnecessary. |
| Richtek RT9080-28GB | 250 mV dropout; 20 µA IQ; 30 µVRMS noise; WDFN-6L 1.2×1.2 mm; no active discharge | Same functional class but different pinout; no integrated discharge path; slightly lower noise but higher dropout | Choose for ultra-low IQ priority where discharge timing is managed externally. |
Compared with XC6210B282MR-G and RT9080-28GB, the NCP717AMX280TCG uniquely combines ultra-low dropout (175 mV), industry-leading 25 µA IQ, and integrated 1.2 kΩ active discharge in a 1.0×1.0 mm XDFN4 package - making it optimal for miniaturized, battery-critical systems requiring rapid, deterministic power-down behavior.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the NCP717AMX280TCG over temperature and load?
The NCP717AMX280TCG maintains ±2% output voltage accuracy across −40°C to +125°C junction temperature, 0–300 mA load, and 1.8–5.5 V input voltage range. This is guaranteed by internal bandgap reference and error amplifier design, not just initial calibration - ensuring consistent 2.8 V regulation in real-world thermal and dynamic conditions where the NCP717AMX280TCG operates.
Does the NCP717AMX280TCG support active output discharge, and how does it work?
Yes, the NCP717AMX280TCG includes active output discharge via an internal 1.2 kΩ pull-down resistor between OUT and GND, activated automatically when EN falls below 0.4 V. This feature rapidly discharges the output capacitor to prevent back-powering or unintended operation of downstream circuitry - a capability confirmed only for "A"-suffix variants like the NCP717AMX280TCG per the official datasheet.
What is the minimum output capacitor required for stability with the NCP717AMX280TCG?
The NCP717AMX280TCG is stable with a minimum 1.0 µF ceramic output capacitor (X5R/X7R), and remains stable down to 100 nF with adequate safety margin for DC bias and temperature variation. No ESR requirement exists - enabling use of tiny 0402/0603 MLCCs - a verified design condition documented in the NCP717AMX280TCG datasheet Figure 43 and Applications Information section.
How does the NCP717AMX280TCG achieve ultra-low quiescent current?
The NCP717AMX280TCG employs dynamic quiescent current adjustment: its internal bias circuitry scales ground current based on load demand, achieving 25 µA typical IQ at no-load while maintaining full 300 mA capability. This adaptive architecture - detailed in the NCP717AMX280TCG datasheet Figure 5–10 and Applications Information - avoids trade-offs between standby efficiency and transient response.
Can the NCP717AMX280TCG be used with input voltages below 1.8 V?
No - the absolute minimum input voltage for the NCP717AMX280TCG is 1.8 V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. Operation below this violates the device's safe operating area; attempting to power the NCP717AMX280TCG from a deeply discharged 1.5 V alkaline cell or sub-1.8 V supercapacitor will result in loss of regulation or undefined behavior.
