Product details
Overview
NCP2860DMADJR2G from onsemi is an adjustable-output, 300 mA low-noise, low-dropout linear regulator in Micro8 package, delivering 1.25 V to 5.80 V output with 60 µVrms noise (10 Hz–100 kHz), 150 mV dropout at 300 mA, and integrated FAULT indicator - designed for audio amplifier drivers and noise-sensitive portable power rails.
For engineers reviewing the NCP2860DMADJR2G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include programmable output voltage range, ultra-low shutdown current (10 nA), thermal/short-circuit protection, PSRR of 60 dB @ 1 kHz, and Micro8 footprint compatibility with space-constrained handheld designs.
Technical Context
The NCP2860DMADJR2G uses a P-channel MOSFET pass device enabling near-zero gate drive current and sub-µA quiescent operation during regulation. Its transconductance error amplifier maintains output stability without external compensation, while the SET pin accepts resistor-divider feedback to program output voltage via internal 1.244 V reference.
Fault detection monitors input-to-output differential voltage relative to load current, pulling the open-drain FAULT pin low when dropout conditions threaten regulation. Shutdown mode disables bias circuitry and reduces total supply current to 10 nA, with hysteresis-enabled STDWN pin threshold (0.63 V to 2.65 V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage Range | 1.25 V to 5.80 V - programmable via external resistor divider on SET pin |
| Max Output Current | 300 mA - sufficient for audio amplifiers and RF front-end biasing |
| Dropout Voltage | 150 mV @ 300 mA - enables operation from 3.0 V input to 2.77 V output rail |
| Output Noise | 60 µVrms (10 Hz–100 kHz) - preserves signal integrity in analog audio paths |
| PSRR | 60 dB @ 1 kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters |
| Shutdown Current | 10 nA - extends battery life in always-on portable systems |
| Thermal Shutdown | 170°C threshold 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 0.65 mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4 - OUT | Regulated output node | Delivers stable voltage; requires ≥2.2 µF low-ESR capacitor for stability |
| 2 - IN | Input power supply connection | Accepts 3.0–6.0 V; bypassed with 2.2 µF capacitor to reduce ripple |
| 3 - GND | Analog and power ground reference | Common return path for feedback, bias, and load current |
| 5 - SET | Feedback reference input | Connects to resistor divider to set output; leakage ≤200 nA minimizes programming error |
| 6 - N.C. | No-connect terminal | Not internally bonded; must remain unconnected per datasheet |
| 7 - STDWN | Active-low enable/shutdown control | Pull low to enter 10 nA shutdown; hysteresis prevents chatter near threshold |
| 8 - FAULT | Open-drain fault indicator | Sinks current when dropout occurs; requires external pull-up for logic-level signaling |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar adjustable-output LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TSP53025DRVR | Fixed 2.5 V output only; 200 mA max; 35 µVrms noise; no FAULT pin | Lacks programmability and fault reporting; suited for non-critical fixed-rail use | Select only if output voltage is fixed and fault monitoring is unnecessary |
| MCP1826T-ADJ/DC | 300 mA; 45 µVrms noise; no FAULT pin; 250 mV dropout @ 300 mA | Higher dropout limits usable input range; missing fault diagnostics for predictive maintenance | Prefer when lower noise is critical but fault awareness is not required |
Compared with NCP2860DMADJR2G, TSP53025DRVR offers lower noise but sacrifices adjustability and system-level fault visibility, while MCP1826T-ADJ/DC provides similar current capability but lacks integrated fault indication and has higher dropout - making NCP2860DMADJR2G optimal for compact, diagnostic-aware audio and portable designs.

FAQ
What output voltage range does the NCP2860DMADJR2G support?
The NCP2860DMADJR2G supports an adjustable output voltage range from 1.25 V to 5.80 V, set by an external resistor divider connected to the SET pin. Its internal reference voltage is 1.244 V (typ), and the formula VOUT = 1.244 × (1 + R1/R2) applies, with leakage current correction recommended for high-impedance dividers. This makes NCP2860DMADJR2G suitable for diverse rail requirements across portable electronics.
How does the FAULT pin function on the NCP2860DMADJR2G?
The FAULT pin on the NCP2860DMADJR2G is an open-drain output that pulls low when the input-to-output differential voltage drops below the dynamic dropout threshold - indicating imminent regulation loss. During normal operation or shutdown, it remains high-impedance. An external pull-up resistor (typically 100 kΩ) is required to generate a logic-high signal. This feature enables real-time health monitoring in systems using NCP2860DMADJR2G.
What is the dropout voltage specification for the NCP2860DMADJR2G at full load?
The NCP2860DMADJR2G exhibits a dropout voltage of 150 mV (typ) at 300 mA load current, defined as the minimum VIN−VOUT difference needed to maintain regulation. At lighter loads (1 mA), dropout drops to 0.6 mV. This low dropout enables efficient operation from 3.0 V inputs down to 2.77 V outputs - a key advantage of NCP2860DMADJR2G in single-cell Li-ion applications.
Does the NCP2860DMADJR2G require external compensation components?
No, the NCP2860DMADJR2G does not require external compensation components. Its transconductance error amplifier and internal P-channel MOSFET pass device are designed for unconditional stability with standard 2.2 µF ceramic output capacitors (ESR < 0.5 Ω). This simplifies layout and reduces BOM count - a verified design feature confirmed in the NCP2860DMADJR2G datasheet's "Regulation" section.
What protection features are integrated into the NCP2860DMADJR2G?
The NCP2860DMADJR2G integrates thermal overload protection (170°C trip with 30°C hysteresis), short-circuit current limiting (465 mA typical), and foldback current limiting during startup (220 mA). It also features a dedicated FAULT pin for dropout detection and an active-low STDWN pin with hysteresis for controlled shutdown. These protections ensure robust operation of NCP2860DMADJR2G in unpredictable load and thermal environments.
