Product details
Overview
NCP717CMX320TCG from onsemi is a 300 mA, fixed 3.2 V output low-dropout (LDO) regulator with 25 µA typical quiescent current, 22 µVRMS output noise (100 Hz–100 kHz), and 165 mV typical dropout at 300 mA - designed for space-constrained, battery-powered portable electronics requiring stable, low-noise voltage regulation.
For engineers reviewing the NCP717CMX320TCG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its XDFN4 1.0×1.0 mm package, active output discharge (120 Ω), ±2% output accuracy over load/line/temperature, and compatibility with 1 µF ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The NCP717CMX320TCG integrates a PMOS pass transistor with adaptive ground current control to maintain ultra-low IQ across input voltage and temperature. Its internal bandgap reference and error amplifier deliver tight regulation under dynamic load conditions.
It features logic-level enable (EN) with 0.4 V low-threshold shutdown and 0.9 V high-threshold activation, plus built-in thermal shutdown (160°C) and current limiting (379 mA typ). The C-version includes active output discharge via a 120 Ω internal FET to rapidly pull VOUT to GND during disable.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.2 V ±2% over −40°C to +125°C, load 0–300 mA, line 3.7–5.5 V |
| Quiescent Current | 25 µA typical at no-load; enables multi-year battery life in always-on IoT sensors |
| Dropout Voltage | 165 mV typical at 300 mA; supports operation down to VIN = 3.365 V while maintaining regulation |
| Output Noise | 22 µVRMS (100 Hz–100 kHz); suitable for RF power amplifiers and precision ADC references |
| PSRR | 70 dB at 1 kHz; suppresses switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters |
| 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 |

Pinout & Package
XDFN4 1.0 × 1.0 mm, 0.65 mm pitch, exposed pad (EPAD) thermally connected to GND. RoHS-compliant, Pb-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - OUT | Regulated output | Delivers stable 3.2 V; requires ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor to GND for stability |
| 2 - GND | Power ground | Reference node for regulation; EPAD must be soldered to large PCB ground plane for thermal performance |
| 3 - EN | Enable control | Logic input: >0.9 V enables regulator; <0.4 V disables and activates 120 Ω discharge path |
| 4 - IN | Input supply | Accepts 1.8–5.5 V; requires ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor close to pin for transient immunity |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6210B322MR-G | 300 mA, 3.2 V fixed, 25 µA IQ, but no active discharge; SOT-25 package (2.9 × 2.8 mm) | Lacks output discharge; larger footprint; lower thermal performance (RJA ≈ 280°C/W vs. 250°C/W) | Select when board space permits larger package and discharge is handled externally. |
| Richtek RT9080-32PU | 300 mA, 3.2 V fixed, 30 µA IQ, 25 µVRMS noise, active discharge (200 Ω), same XDFN1010-4 package | Higher IQ (30 µA), slightly higher noise, 200 Ω discharge vs. 120 Ω - slower discharge time | Choose for second-source flexibility with near-identical form, fit, and function in compact designs. |
Compared with XC6210B322MR-G and RT9080-32PU, the NCP717CMX320TCG offers the lowest active discharge resistance (120 Ω), fastest discharge speed, and best thermal resistance in the smallest footprint - critical for wearables and hearing aids where rapid power-state transitions and thermal headroom are constrained.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the NCP717CMX320TCG over temperature and load?
The NCP717CMX320TCG maintains ±2% output voltage accuracy across −40°C to +125°C junction temperature, 0–300 mA load, and input voltage from 3.7 V to 5.5 V. This is verified per Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the datasheet, with min/max values specified at temperature extremes.
Does the NCP717CMX320TCG require an external capacitor on the EN pin for noise immunity?
No - the NCP717CMX320TCG includes built-in 56 mV hysteresis and deglitch timing in the EN block, eliminating need for external RC filtering. The internal 180 nA pull-down also ensures reliable default-off behavior when EN is left floating, as confirmed in the Applications Information section (page 13).
Can the NCP717CMX320TCG operate with a 0.47 µF output capacitor?
No - the NCP717CMX320TCG requires a minimum of 1.0 µF ceramic output capacitor for guaranteed stability, as stated in both Features and Applications Information (pages 1 and 13). Using 0.47 µF risks oscillation or poor transient response, especially under load steps.
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCP717CMX320TCG?
The absolute maximum input voltage for the NCP717CMX320TCG is 6 V, per Absolute Maximum Ratings (page 2). For continuous operation, the recommended maximum is 5.5 V - exceeding this may cause permanent damage or degraded reliability.
How does the active output discharge function work in the NCP717CMX320TCG?
When EN falls below 0.4 V, the NCP717CMX320TCG disables the pass transistor and turns on an internal 120 Ω discharge FET between OUT and GND. This actively pulls the output voltage to ground within ~1 ms for a 1 µF capacitor, preventing floating nodes and ensuring deterministic power-down sequencing - a feature exclusive to 'C'-suffix variants like NCP717CMX320TCG.
