Product details
Overview
NCP170BXV280T2G from onsemi is a CMOS low-dropout (LDO) regulator designed for ultra-low-power portable battery applications, delivering 2.8 V output at up to 150 mA with 500 nA typical quiescent current, 210 mV typical dropout at full load, ±1% output voltage accuracy, and stable operation with 1 µF ceramic capacitors.
For engineers reviewing the NCP170BXV280T2G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified electrical specs, package mapping to XDFN4 (1 × 1 mm), EN-controlled enable functionality, thermal shutdown behavior, and real-world use cases in space-constrained, long-life battery systems.
Technical Context
The NCP170BXV280T2G integrates a PMOS pass transistor enabling ultra-low IQ operation and fast transient response via dynamic boost circuitry. Its EN pin supports active-high logic control with 1.2 V threshold and sub-10 nA input leakage, allowing precise system-level power sequencing.
It operates across 2.2 V–5.5 V input range and maintains regulation down to 210 mV dropout at 150 mA (VOUT = 2.8 V), with built-in over-current protection, thermal shutdown at 175 °C, and hysteresis of 25 °C - all validated per AEC-Q100 stress test standards.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.8 V ±1% over −40°C to +85°C - ensures stable core/sensor rail under temperature variation |
| Max Output Current | 150 mA - sufficient for microcontrollers, image sensors, and RF transceivers in compact devices |
| Quiescent Current | 0.5 µA typical - extends battery life in always-on or sleep-mode IoT endpoints |
| Dropout Voltage | 210 mV typical at 150 mA - enables operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0 V min) or two-cell alkaline |
| PSRR @ 1 kHz | 40 dB at 150 mA - suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC-DC converters |
| Output Noise | 125 µVRMS (100 Hz–1 MHz) - suitable for noise-sensitive analog/RF supply domains |
| Enable Threshold | VENH = 1.2 V, VENL = 0.4 V - compatible with 1.8 V and 3.3 V GPIO without level-shifting |
Pinout & Package
Package: XDFN4 (1 mm × 1 mm, 0.4 mm height), case 711AJ, Pb-free and RoHS compliant. Exposed pad internally connected to GND for thermal performance.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCP170BXV280T2G?
The NCP170BXV280T2G has an absolute maximum input voltage of 6.0 V. Operation above this level risks permanent damage. The recommended operating input range is 2.2 V to 5.5 V, which aligns with common battery chemistries including single-cell Li-ion, LiFePO₄, and dual-cell alkaline. Always observe derating guidelines in high-temperature environments.
Does the NCP170BXV280T2G require an external capacitor on the EN pin?
No, the NCP170BXV280T2G does not require an external capacitor on the EN pin. Its EN input draws only ≤10 nA leakage current and features clean threshold hysteresis (VENH = 1.2 V, VENL = 0.4 V), allowing direct connection to standard GPIO outputs. Adding capacitance may slow enable/disable timing and is unnecessary for noise immunity in typical layouts.
Can the NCP170BXV280T2G be used with ceramic output capacitors smaller than 1 µF?
No - the NCP170BXV280T2G is specified and characterized for stability with ≥1 µF ceramic output capacitance. Using smaller values may cause oscillation or degraded transient response. The datasheet explicitly validates performance with 1 µF X5R/X7R ceramics; lower values invalidate the guaranteed PSRR, noise, and load regulation specs.
What is the thermal resistance (RJA) of the NCP170BXV280T2G in its XDFN4 package?
The NCP170BXV280T2G in the XDFN4 (1 mm × 1 mm) package has a junction-to-air thermal resistance (RJA) of 250 °C/W, as measured per JEDEC JESD51-2. This value assumes standard 2-layer PCB with no thermal vias. Adding 4–6 thermal vias under the EPAD reduces RJA by ~30–40%, improving power handling capability in continuous 150 mA operation.
Is the NCP170BXV280T2G pin-compatible with other variants in the NCP170 family?
Yes - all NCP170 variants (including NCP170BXV280T2G, NCP170BXV330T2G, etc.) share identical XDFN4 pinout and footprint. Output voltage is laser-trimmed during manufacturing; no external resistors or configuration pins are required. This enables single PCB design reuse across multiple voltage options with only BOM change.
