Product details
Overview
NCP717CMX330TBG from onsemi is a 300 mA, fixed 3.3 V output low-dropout (LDO) regulator in XDFN-4 1.0×1.0 mm package, featuring 25 µA typical quiescent current, 22 µVRMS output noise (100 Hz–100 kHz), 155 mV typical dropout at 300 mA, ±2% output accuracy over load/line/temperature, and integrated thermal shutdown and current limiting - designed for noise-sensitive, space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the NCP717CMX330TBG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include ultra-low IQ for battery longevity, low-noise regulation for RF/analog circuits, stable operation with 1 µF ceramic output capacitor, and active output discharge (120 Ω) enabled by the EN pin.
Technical Context
The NCP717CMX330TBG employs a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling reverse-current blocking and low dropout voltage. Its adaptive ground current circuitry dynamically reduces IQ to 25 µA at no-load while maintaining regulation, critical for standby power optimization in portable systems.
It integrates an enable-controlled active output discharge path (120 Ω) that pulls VOUT to GND during shutdown - a feature confirmed for "C"-suffix variants like NCP717CMX330TBG per datasheet Section "PIN FUNCTION DESCRIPTION" and Ordering Information table. The EN pin has 180 nA internal pull-down and 56 mV hysteresis to prevent noise-induced toggling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3 V ±2% - ensures stable rail for 3.3 V logic, RF transceivers, and analog sensors without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 300 mA continuous - supports moderate-power microcontrollers, Bluetooth modules, and sensor hubs. |
| Quiescent Current | 25 µA typ. at no-load - extends battery life in always-on wearable and IoT edge nodes. |
| Dropout Voltage | 155 mV typ. at 300 mA - enables regulation from 3.455 V input, compatible with single-cell Li-ion (3.6 V nominal) or 3.6 V supply rails. |
| Output Noise | 22 µVRMS (100 Hz–100 kHz) - meets stringent noise requirements for ADC references, RF LNA biasing, and audio codecs. |
| PSRR | 70 dB at 1 kHz - suppresses switching noise from DC-DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Enable Threshold | VEN_HI = 0.9 V, VEN_LO = 0.4 V - compatible with 1.8 V/3.3 V GPIOs; internal 180 nA pull-down ensures default-off state. |
| Active Discharge | 120 Ω discharge path - rapidly discharges output capacitance (<1 ms for 1 µF) to prevent residual voltage hold-up in power sequencing. |
Pinout & Package
Package: XDFN-4 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 | Delivers 3.3 V; requires ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor to GND for stability; connects to load and feedback path. |
| 2 - GND | Power ground | Reference return for IN, OUT, and EN; EPAD must be soldered directly to this node 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 120 Ω discharge to GND. |
| 4 - IN | Input supply | Accepts 1.8–5.5 V; requires ≥1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor close to pin to suppress input ripple and transients. |
| EPAD | Thermal & electrical ground | Must be connected to PCB GND plane; primary heat conduction path - improves θJA from 250°C/W to ~120°C/W with 200 mm² copper. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6210B332MR-G | 300 mA, 3.3 V, 25 µA IQ, but no active discharge; 200 mV dropout at 300 mA; requires 2.2 µF min. COUT. | Lacks output discharge - unsuitable where fast power-down sequencing is required. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for active discharge and board space allows larger output capacitor. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCP717CMX330TBG?
The NCP717CMX330TBG has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 6 V, with recommended operating range from 1.8 V to 5.5 V. Exceeding 6 V may cause permanent damage. For reliable operation at 5.5 V input, ensure junction temperature remains ≤125°C using adequate PCB copper area per Figure 54 in the datasheet.
Does the NCP717CMX330TBG require an external resistor for enable functionality?
No, the NCP717CMX330TBG does not require an external resistor for enable functionality. It features an internal 180 nA pull-down current source on the EN pin, ensuring default-off behavior when left floating. A direct connection to IN or a GPIO suffices for control; no external biasing components are needed.
Can the NCP717CMX330TBG operate stably with a 100 nF output capacitor?
Yes, the NCP717CMX330TBG is specified to remain stable with a minimum effective output capacitance of 100 nF, though 1 µF is recommended for full safety margin across voltage, temperature, and DC bias variations. Stability is independent of ESR, but maximum ESR must be <700 mΩ per datasheet Section "Output Capacitor Selection".
What is the purpose of the exposed pad (EPAD) on the NCP717CMX330TBG package?
The EPAD on the NCP717CMX330TBG serves dual purposes: it provides the primary thermal conduction path from die to PCB (reducing θJA significantly), and it functions as an electrical ground connection. It must be soldered directly to the PCB's GND plane - not left floating - to ensure both thermal reliability and proper device operation.
How does the active output discharge function work in the NCP717CMX330TBG?
When the EN pin voltage drops below 0.4 V, the NCP717CMX330TBG disables regulation and turns on an internal 120 Ω discharge FET between OUT and GND. This actively pulls the output voltage to ground within milliseconds (e.g., <1 ms for 1 µF), preventing residual charge from interfering with power sequencing or causing back-powering of upstream circuitry.
