Product details
Overview
NCP1086D2T-33R4G from onsemi is a 3.3 V fixed-output, 1.5 A low-dropout linear regulator in D2PAK-3 package, featuring ±1.5% output voltage accuracy over temperature, 1.05 V typical dropout at full load, thermal shutdown, and current limiting. It serves as a post-regulator for microprocessor power supplies where stable low-voltage operation and fast transient response are critical.
For engineers reviewing the NCP1086D2T-33R4G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include dropout voltage at 1.5 A, thermal shutdown threshold (150–210°C), GND/VOUT/VIN pin configuration, and compatibility with tantalum output capacitors for stability in high-current load transients.
Technical Context
The NCP1086D2T-33R4G implements a composite PNP-NPN pass transistor architecture optimized for low dropout and fast loop response. Its internal bandgap reference and error amplifier maintain regulation across input differentials from 2.0 V to 3.7 V, with ripple rejection of 80 dB at 120 Hz under 1.5 A load.
Thermal shutdown is 100% functionally tested with 25°C hysteresis, and current limit is active above 1.6 A at junction temperatures ≥25°C. The device requires no external compensation but mandates a minimum 22 µF tantalum output capacitor for stability and optimal transient performance.

| Load Regulation | 0.04% typical (maintains tight voltage under dynamic load steps) |
| Ripple Rejection | 80 dB @ 120 Hz, 1.5 A (suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters) |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150–210°C activation range with 25°C hysteresis (prevents latch-up during sustained overload) |
Pinout & Package
D2PAK-3 package (Case 418AB), thermally enhanced surface-mount outline with exposed thermal pad; tab connected to VOUT for direct heatsinking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for internal circuitry and feedback path; must be low-impedance connection to minimize load regulation error |
| 2 | VOUT | Regulated 3.3 V output; also electrically tied to metal tab for thermal conduction and PCB heatsinking |
| 3 | VIN | Input supply pin; accepts up to 7.0 V differential relative to VOUT; requires ≥10 µF input capacitance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low Dropout Architecture | 1.05 V typical at 1.5 A enables efficient 3.3 V regulation from 5 V rails without excessive power loss |
| Fast Transient Response | Sub-10 µs recovery from 750 mA → 1500 mA load step minimizes undershoot in processor supply domains |
| Integrated Protection | Current limit (1.6–3.1 A) and thermal shutdown (150–210°C) prevent destruction during fault conditions |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-output LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1086CT-3.3#PBF | Pin-compatible but higher 1.3 V typical dropout at 1.5 A; 1.5% output tolerance same; thermal shutdown at 165°C (no hysteresis specified) | Same TO-220/D2PAK footprint; less efficient at low VIN−VOUT differentials | Select when legacy LT1086 design reuse is required and 0.25 V higher dropout is acceptable |
| TSP50033DR | 3.3 V fixed, 1.5 A, but 1.2 V typical dropout; no thermal hysteresis; requires 10 µF ceramic + 1 µF ceramic output cap | Smaller SOT-223 package; not pin-compatible; faster transient but lower PSRR (65 dB @ 120 Hz) | Select for space-constrained designs where thermal hysteresis is non-critical and board area is premium |
Compared with LT1086CT-3.3#PBF and TSP50033DR, the NCP1086D2T-33R4G delivers superior dropout performance (1.05 V vs. 1.3 V/1.2 V), guaranteed thermal hysteresis (25°C), and higher ripple rejection (80 dB), making it optimal for thermally demanding, noise-sensitive 3.3 V microprocessor and FPGA applications where stability and efficiency are prioritized over footprint size.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage differential for NCP1086D2T-33R4G?
The NCP1086D2T-33R4G has an absolute maximum VIN−VOUT differential of 7.0 V. Exceeding this risks permanent damage, even if the absolute VIN remains within safe limits. This specification governs safe operation during startup, line transients, and short-circuit conditions - not steady-state regulation. The device is rated for continuous operation with VIN−VOUT between 2.0 V and 3.7 V per its fixed-output electrical characteristics table.
Does NCP1086D2T-33R4G require an external capacitor for stability?
Yes, the NCP1086D2T-33R4G requires a minimum 22 µF tantalum output capacitor for guaranteed stability and optimal transient response. Ceramic capacitors alone are not recommended due to near-zero ESR, which can cause oscillation. The datasheet specifies that aluminum electrolytic or tantalum types provide appropriate ESR for loop compensation; using 22 µF tantalum meets all stability, startup, and load-step requirements for the NCP1086D2T-33R4G across its full operating range.
What is the thermal resistance junction-to-case (RJC) for NCP1086D2T-33R4G?
The thermal resistance junction-to-case (RJC) for NCP1086D2T-33R4G is 3.5°C/W, as specified in the Package Thermal Data table for the D2PAK-3 package. This value is critical for heatsink sizing calculations and reflects the intrinsic thermal path from the silicon die to the exposed metal tab (VOUT). When designing thermal management, RJC must be combined with case-to-heatsink (RCS) and heatsink-to-ambient (RSA) resistances to determine total RJA and ensure TJ remains ≤150°C under worst-case power dissipation.
Is NCP1086D2T-33R4G pin-compatible with other regulators in the NCP1086 family?
Yes, the NCP1086D2T-33R4G shares identical pinout (GND/VOUT/VIN) and package (D2PAK-3) with all other D2PAK variants in the NCP1086 family, including adjustable versions like NCP1086D2T-ADJR4G. However, it is not pin-compatible with SOT-223 or TO-220 variants due to differing pin assignments and physical outlines. Pin compatibility is strictly limited to same-package-type members of the NCP1086 series.
What protection features does NCP1086D2T-33R4G include?
The NCP1086D2T-33R4G integrates two primary protection features: current limiting (1.6–3.1 A activation range) and thermal shutdown (150–210°C trip range with 25°C hysteresis). Both are 100% functionally tested in production. Current limit responds to overloads before thermal stress accumulates, while thermal shutdown provides fail-safe cutoff during sustained overheating. Neither feature requires external components - they are fully self-contained within the NCP1086D2T-33R4G die.
