Product details
Overview
NCP717CMX285TBG from onsemi is a 300 mA, fixed 2.85 V low-dropout (LDO) regulator with ultra-low quiescent current (25 µA typ.), 22 µVRMS output noise (100 Hz–100 kHz), and 175 mV typical dropout at 300 mA. It features active output discharge (120 Ω), thermal shutdown, current limiting, and stable operation with a 1 µF ceramic output capacitor - designed for noise-sensitive, space-constrained battery-powered applications such as GPS modules and Bluetooth handsets.
For engineers reviewing the NCP717CMX285TBG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 2.85 V fixed output, XDFN4 1.0×1.0 mm package, ±2% output accuracy over load/line/temperature, 70 dB PSRR at 1 kHz, and EN-controlled enable/disable with 0.4 V/0.9 V thresholds.
Technical Context
The NCP717CMX285TBG uses a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling reverse-current blocking and low dropout across its 1.8 V to 5.5 V input range. Its adaptive quiescent current circuitry dynamically reduces ground current under light/no-load conditions while maintaining regulation integrity.
It integrates an internal bandgap reference, error amplifier, MOSFET driver with current limit, thermal shutdown logic, and an active discharge switch (120 Ω) activated during disable. The EN pin includes 56 mV hysteresis and a 180 nA internal pull-down to ensure robust start-up and noise immunity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.85 V ±2% over load, line, and temperature - ensures stable rail for RF front-ends or precision analog circuits without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 300 mA continuous - supports moderate-power microcontrollers, sensors, or wireless transceivers in portable systems. |
| Dropout Voltage | 175 mV typical at 300 mA - enables operation down to VIN = 3.025 V, critical for single-cell Li-ion or Li-poly battery systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 25 µA typical at no load - extends battery life in always-on monitoring or standby modes of IoT edge nodes. |
| Output Noise | 22 µVRMS (100 Hz–100 kHz) - meets stringent noise requirements for ADC references, RF synthesizers, or audio codecs. |
| PSRR | 70 dB at 1 kHz - suppresses switching noise 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 without level-shifting. |
| Active Discharge | 120 Ω discharge path - rapidly discharges output capacitance upon shutdown, preventing unintended wake-up or latch-up in multi-rail systems. |
Pinout & Package
Package: XDFN4 1.0×1.0 mm, 0.65 mm pitch, exposed pad (EPAD) for thermal dissipation. RoHS-compliant, Pb-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - OUT | Regulated output voltage node | Delivers stable 2.85 V; requires ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor to GND for stability and transient response. |
| 2 - GND | Power ground reference | Primary return path; EPAD must be soldered directly to this node and a large PCB ground plane for thermal management. |
| 3 - EN | Logic-enable control input | Drives high (>0.9 V) to enable regulator; low (<0.4 V) to disable with active discharge; internal 180 nA pull-down ensures default-off state. |
| 4 - IN | Input voltage supply | Accepts 1.8–5.5 V; requires ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor close to pin to suppress input ripple and support fast load transients. |
| EPAD | Thermal and electrical ground pad | Must be connected to GND plane; provides primary thermal conduction path (RJA = 250 °C/W). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low IQ | 25 µA typical at zero load - enables >1-year battery life in coin-cell-powered wearables with periodic sensing. |
| Low-noise regulation | 22 µVRMS output noise - eliminates need for post-LDO filtering in sensitive RF or precision analog signal chains. |
| Stable with minimal capacitance | Guaranteed stability with 1 µF ceramic COUT - reduces BOM count and board area vs. legacy LDOs requiring 10–22 µF tantalum. |
| Integrated protection | Thermal shutdown (160°C), current limit (~379 mA), and short-circuit tolerance - eliminates need for external fault-handling circuitry. |
| Active output discharge | 120 Ω discharge path (C-version) - prevents floating outputs and cross-conduction in power-sequenced systems. |
| Wide input range | 1.8 V to 5.5 V operation - supports direct connection to single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2 V), USB (4.75–5.25 V), or dual-cell alkaline rails. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-285I/OT | 250 mA max output, 6 µA IQ, no active discharge, SOT-23-5 package | Lacks active discharge and higher current capability; suitable only for simpler, lower-power loads | Select when ultra-low IQ dominates over output drive and discharge requirements |
| TPL7407LPGEDR | 300 mA, 25 µA IQ, 2.85 V fixed, no active discharge, 6-pin WSON | Same current/noise specs but lacks active discharge; different pinout and thermal pad layout | Choose if board redesign accommodates alternate footprint and discharge is handled externally |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the NCP717CMX285TBG over temperature and load?
The NCP717CMX285TBG maintains ±2% output voltage accuracy across −40°C to +125°C junction temperature, 0–300 mA load, and input voltage range (VIN = VOUT(NOM) + 0.5 V or 2.3 V, whichever is greater). This is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table (page 3) under "Output Voltage Accuracy" with test conditions explicitly covering full operational ranges. The NCP717CMX285TBG achieves this via a precision bandgap reference and trimmed error amplifier.
Does the NCP717CMX285TBG require an external capacitor on the EN pin for noise immunity?
No, the NCP717CMX285TBG does not require an external capacitor on the EN pin. Its enable block incorporates built-in 56 mV hysteresis and deglitch timing to reject noise transients, as stated in the Applications Information section (page 13). The internal 180 nA pull-down current source further ensures reliable default-off behavior without external components. Adding capacitance may slow turn-on time unnecessarily. The NCP717CMX285TBG is designed for direct GPIO interfacing.
Can the NCP717CMX285TBG operate with a 1.0 µF ceramic output capacitor, and what ESR is acceptable?
Yes, the NCP717CMX285TBG is fully stable with a 1.0 µF ceramic output capacitor (X5R/X7R), as specified in the Features list and Applications Information (page 13). The datasheet states no minimum ESR requirement but specifies a maximum ESR of 700 mΩ for stability margin. Tantalum capacitors are explicitly discouraged due to high and temperature-dependent ESR. The NCP717CMX285TBG's internal compensation is optimized for low-ESR ceramics.
What is the thermal shutdown behavior of the NCP717CMX285TBG, and does it auto-recover?
The NCP717CMX285TBG triggers thermal shutdown at 160°C (typical) and remains disabled until junction temperature falls to 140°C (typical hysteresis = 20°C), after which it automatically resumes regulation. This behavior is documented in the Electrical Characteristics table (page 3) under "Thermal Shutdown Temperature" and "Thermal Shutdown Hysteresis". The NCP717CMX285TBG implements this via on-die thermal sensing and latched control logic - no external reset is needed.
How does the active output discharge function work in the NCP717CMX285TBG, and what is its resistance value?
The NCP717CMX285TBG's active output discharge activates when EN < 0.4 V, connecting the OUT pin to GND through an internal 120 Ω NMOS transistor (confirmed in Electrical Characteristics table, page 3, "Active Output Discharge Resistance", Version C). This rapidly discharges external output capacitance, preventing residual voltage from interfering with downstream logic or causing shoot-through in multi-rail systems. The NCP717CMX285TBG's C-suffix designation explicitly denotes this 120 Ω discharge version.
