Product details
Overview
NCP1117DT20RK from onsemi is a 2.0 V fixed-output, low-dropout linear voltage regulator in DPAK package, delivering ≥1.0 A output current with 1.2 V max dropout at 800 mA over temperature, ±1.0% output voltage accuracy, and no minimum load requirement - used for point-of-load regulation in industrial controllers and battery chargers.
For engineers reviewing the NCP1117DT20RK datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at full load, thermal performance in DPAK with PCB copper heatsinking, line/load regulation stability under transient conditions, and compatibility with 10 µF ceramic input/output capacitors.
Technical Context
The NCP1117DT20RK employs an internal bandgap reference trimmed to ±1.0%, driving a PNP pass transistor with safe operating area (SOA) compensation and thermal shutdown activation at ~175°C. Its feedback loop is internally compensated for stability with ≥4.7 µF output capacitance and ESR between 33 mΩ and 2.2 Ω.
It operates across 3.4 V to 12 V input range for 2.0 V output, supports infinite short-circuit duration due to thermal limiting, and integrates protection against overcurrent, SOA violation, and junction overheating - all without requiring external components for basic operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.000 V (±1.0% tolerance; no minimum load required) |
| Max Dropout Voltage | 1.20 V at 800 mA (enables regulation down to Vin = 3.2 V) |
| Output Current | ≥1000 mA continuous (internally current-limited; derated above 12 V input) |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.4 V to 12 V (for 2.0 V output; absolute max 20 V) |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at ~175°C junction temperature; auto-recovery on cooling |
| Ripple Rejection | 66 dB at 120 Hz (Vin−Vout = 6.4 V, Iout = 500 mA) |
| Quiescent Current | 4.5 mA (at Vin = 12 V; enables low-noise, high-efficiency standby operation) |
Pinout & Package
DPAK package (Case 369C), surface-mount, with exposed metal tab thermally and electrically connected to Pin 2 (Output). Requires minimum PCB copper area for thermal management per Figure 22.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Ground / Adjust | Reference node for internal error amplifier; connects to system ground (no external resistor needed for fixed-output version) |
| 2 | Output | Regulated 2.0 V supply rail; heatsink tab is electrically tied to this pin |
| 3 | Input | Unregulated DC input (3.4–12 V); requires local 10 µF ceramic bypass capacitor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low dropout operation | Enables use in 3.3 V or 5 V systems powering 2.0 V logic rails with minimal headroom loss |
| ±1.0% output accuracy | Reduces need for post-regulation trimming in precision analog or ADC reference supplies |
| No minimum load requirement | Eliminates dummy load resistors in low-power sleep modes (e.g., battery-backed microcontrollers) |
| Integrated thermal shutdown | Prevents catastrophic failure during sustained overload or inadequate heatsinking |
| Pb-free DPAK package | Complies with RoHS; exposed tab enhances thermal dissipation using PCB copper as heatsink |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-output LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV1117-20CDCYR | 2.0 V output, SOT-223 package, 800 mA rated, 1.2 V dropout at 800 mA, ±2% accuracy | Lower output current rating and wider voltage tolerance; less suitable for 1 A continuous loads | Select when board space constraints favor SOT-223 and thermal budget allows lower current capability |
| LD1117S20TR | 2.0 V output, SOT-223 package, 800 mA rated, 1.1 V dropout at 800 mA, ±2% accuracy, no AEC-Q100 variant | Lacks automotive qualification and thermal shutdown robustness; limited ripple rejection (60 dB) | Acceptable for cost-sensitive consumer designs where 800 mA peak suffices and automotive compliance is not required |
Compared with TLV1117-20CDCYR and LD1117S20TR, the NCP1117DT20RK delivers higher output current (1.0 A vs. 800 mA), tighter output accuracy (±1.0% vs. ±2%), and integrated thermal shutdown - making it preferred for industrial and automotive-adjacent applications demanding reliability under sustained load and thermal stress.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for the NCP1117DT20RK?
The NCP1117DT20RK supports a maximum input voltage of 20 V absolute rating, but for reliable 2.0 V output operation, the recommended input range is 3.4 V to 12 V. Exceeding 12 V input while delivering ≥1.0 A output risks triggering thermal shutdown due to excessive power dissipation - design must ensure adequate PCB copper heatsinking per Figure 22.
Does the NCP1117DT20RK require an external capacitor on the adjust pin?
No, the NCP1117DT20RK is a fixed-output variant and does not use the adjust pin as a functional terminal - Pin 1 is internally connected to ground. Therefore, no external capacitor or resistor network is needed on Pin 1. The device only requires standard 10 µF ceramic input and output capacitors for stability and transient response.
Can the NCP1117DT20RK be used in automotive applications?
The NCP1117DT20RK itself is not AEC-Q100 qualified; however, its automotive-grade counterpart NCV1117DT20RKG is fully qualified and PPAP-capable. For non-safety-critical automotive subsystems (e.g., infotainment power rails), NCP1117DT20RK may be used with appropriate derating and thermal validation - but NCV1117DT20RKG is required for ASIL-compliant designs.
What is the thermal resistance (RJA) of the NCP1117DT20RK in typical PCB layout?
For the NCP1117DT20RK in DPAK package (Case 369C), RJA is 67 °C/W with minimum-size pad, and improves to ~30 °C/W with 1-inch square 2 oz. copper pad (per Figure 22). Actual RJA depends heavily on PCB copper area, layer count, and airflow - thermal design must validate junction temperature stays below 150°C under worst-case load and ambient conditions.
Is the NCP1117DT20RK pin-compatible with older three-terminal regulators like the LM317?
While the NCP1117DT20RK shares the same 3-pin DPAK footprint and pinout (Pin 1 = GND, Pin 2 = VOUT, Pin 3 = VIN) as LM317-based designs, it is not functionally pin-compatible because the LM317 is adjustable and requires external resistors. The NCP1117DT20RK is a fixed 2.0 V device - direct replacement requires verifying that the target application needs exactly 2.0 V and no adjustment capability.
