NCP4555, NCP4586
100 mA and 150 mA CMOS
LDOs with Shutdown and
Error Output
The NCP4555 and NCP4586 are high accuracy (typically "0.5%)
CMOS upgrades for older (bipolar) low dropout regulators. Designed
specifically for battery–operated systems, the devices’ CMOS
construction eliminates wasted ground current, significantly
extending battery life. Total supply current is typically 50 µA at full
load (20 to 60 times lower than in bipolar regulators).
The devices’ key features include ultra low noise operation, very
low dropout voltage – typically 180 mV (NCP4555) and 270 mV
(NCP4586) at full load – and fast response to step changes in load. An
error output (ERROR) is asserted when the devices are
out–of–regulation (due to a low input voltage or excessive output
current). ERROR can be used as a low battery warning or as a
processor RESET signal (with the addition of an external RC

incorporate both over–temperature and over–current protection.
The NCP4555 and NCP4586 are stable with an output capacitor of
only 1.0 µF and have a maximum output current of 100 mA and
150 mA, respectively. For higher output current regulators, please see
