Product details
Overview
NCP2860DM277R2 from onsemi is a fixed-output, 2.77 V, 300 mA low-noise low-dropout linear regulator in Micro8 package, featuring 60 µVRMS output noise (10 Hz–100 kHz), 150 mV dropout at full load, and integrated FAULT indicator for audio amplifier power supply applications.
For engineers reviewing the NCP2860DM277R2 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include ultra-low noise performance, thermal shutdown with 30°C hysteresis, 10 nA shutdown current, and SET-pin-grounded configuration for precise 2.77 V output.
Technical Context
The NCP2860DM277R2 uses an internal P-channel MOSFET pass transistor enabling near-zero gate drive current and ultra-low quiescent current. Its transconductance error amplifier provides stable regulation without external compensation.
It integrates fault detection that monitors input-output differential voltage relative to load current, pulling the open-drain FAULT pin low when dropout conditions occur. Shutdown is controlled via a dedicated STDWN pin with hysteresis (0.63 V to 2.65 V threshold) and sub-100 nA bias current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.77 V ±40 mV over −25°C to +85°C; set by internal resistor divider with SET pin grounded. |
| Max Output Current | 300 mA continuous; short-circuit limited to 465 mA typical, with 220 mA startup current limiting. |
| Dropout Voltage | 150 mV at 300 mA load; enables operation from 3.0 V input down to 2.92 V while maintaining regulation. |
| Output Noise | 60 µVRMS (10 Hz–100 kHz); optimized for sensitive analog audio stages requiring clean DC bias. |
| PSRR | 60 dB at 1 kHz; suppresses ripple from noisy battery or switching supply inputs in portable systems. |
| Shutdown Current | 10 nA typical; preserves battery life in always-on or sleep-mode handheld devices. |
| Thermal Protection | Shuts down at 170°C junction temperature with 30°C hysteresis; prevents permanent damage during sustained overload. |
Pinout & Package
Package: Micro8 (Case 846A), Pb-free, surface-mount, 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm footprint with exposed thermal pad.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4 - OUT | Regulated output | Main power rail; requires ≥2.2 µF low-ESR capacitor for stability and noise filtering. |
| 2 - IN | Input supply | Accepts 3.0–6.0 V input; bypassed with 2.2 µF capacitor to suppress high-frequency noise. |
| 3 - GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal blocks; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 5 - SET | Output voltage configuration | Must be grounded (≤0.2 V) for 2.77 V fixed output; floating or unconnected not allowed. |
| 6 - N.C. | No-connect | Internally unused; must remain unconnected and unbonded on PCB. |
| 7 - STDWN | Enable/disable control | Active-low logic input; <0.63 V = shutdown (10 nA IQ), >2.65 V = active; hysteresis prevents chatter. |
| 8 - FAULT | Fault status indicator | Open-drain output; pulled low during dropout or thermal fault; requires external pull-up to OUT or VIN. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-noise regulation | 60 µVRMS output noise enables direct powering of Class AB audio amplifiers without additional filtering. |
| Integrated fault reporting | Open-drain FAULT pin provides real-time dropout detection, simplifying system-level monitoring and diagnostics. |
| Ultra-low shutdown current | 10 nA quiescent draw extends battery runtime in cellular phones and handheld instruments during standby. |
| Thermal protection with hysteresis | 170°C trip point + 30°C hysteresis ensures safe recovery after overload without oscillation or latch-up. |
| Soft-start behavior | 60 µs typical startup time limits inrush current into large output capacitors, preventing input rail sag. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-noise LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6210B277MR-G | 2.77 V fixed, 300 mA, 45 µVRMS noise, but no FAULT pin or thermal hysteresis; 250 mV dropout at 300 mA. | Lacks fault reporting and tighter thermal protection; suitable only where system-level monitoring replaces FAULT functionality. | Choose when lowest possible noise is critical and FAULT signaling is handled externally. |
| Diodes Inc. AP2204K-2.8TRG1 | 2.8 V nominal (±2%), 300 mA, 120 µVRMS noise, no FAULT, no thermal hysteresis, 350 mV dropout at 300 mA. | Higher noise and dropout; lacks both FAULT and thermal hysteresis; rated for industrial temp only (−40°C to +85°C). | Acceptable for cost-sensitive non-audio applications where 2.8 V tolerance and relaxed noise specs are acceptable. |
Compared with NCP2860DM277R2, the XC6210B277MR-G offers lower noise but sacrifices fault visibility and thermal safety margin, while the AP2204K-2.8TRG1 trades noise, dropout, and protection features for lower unit cost in less demanding applications.

FAQ
What is the correct configuration for the SET pin on the NCP2860DM277R2?
The SET pin on the NCP2860DM277R2 must be grounded (≤0.2 V) to enable its fixed 2.77 V output. Leaving it floating or connecting it to any other voltage invalidates regulation and may cause instability. The internal resistor divider is factory-trimmed for this exact configuration, and no external resistors are required or recommended for the NCP2860DM277R2 variant.
Does the NCP2860DM277R2 require an external compensation capacitor?
No, the NCP2860DM277R2 does not require an external compensation capacitor. Its transconductance error amplifier and internal P-channel MOSFET pass element are designed for unconditional stability with standard 2.2 µF ceramic output capacitors (ESR < 0.5 Ω). Adding extra capacitance or altering ESR outside the specified range may degrade transient response or induce oscillation.
How does the FAULT pin function on the NCP2860DM277R2?
The FAULT pin on the NCP2860DM277R2 is an open-drain output that pulls low when the device detects dropout (insufficient input-output differential) or thermal fault. During normal operation or shutdown, it remains high-impedance. A pull-up resistor (typically 100 kΩ to OUT or VIN) is required to generate a valid logic-high signal; the pin sinks up to 2 mA when active.
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCP2860DM277R2?
The absolute maximum input voltage for the NCP2860DM277R2 is +6.0 V. However, the recommended operating range is 3.0 V to 6.0 V for reliable regulation at full 300 mA load. Operation below 3.0 V risks dropout-e.g., at 2.92 V input, the device cannot maintain 2.77 V output under 300 mA load due to its 150 mV dropout specification.
Can the NCP2860DM277R2 be used in automotive applications?
The NCP2860DM277R2 is specified for −25°C to +85°C ambient operation and is not AEC-Q200 qualified. While it functions within standard automotive cabin temperature ranges, onsemi does not certify or guarantee its reliability for automotive use. For automotive-grade deployment, consult onsemi's AEC-Q200-compliant LDO portfolio-such as the NCV8170 series-instead of the NCP2860DM277R2.
