Product details
Overview
NCP3063BMNTXG from onsemi is a monolithic step-up/down/inverting switching regulator IC featuring an integrated 1.5 A Darlington output switch, 150 kHz oscillator, 1.25 V ±1.5% precision reference, cycle-by-cycle current limiting, and thermal shutdown with 10°C hysteresis. It operates from 0–40 V input and supports buck, boost, and inverting topologies in compact DFN-8 packaging - ideal for space-constrained battery chargers and LED lighting drivers.
For engineers reviewing the NCP3063BMNTXG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 1.5 A switch current rating, 1.25 V reference accuracy, thermal shutdown threshold (160°C), timing capacitor-based frequency control, and compatibility with external MOSFETs for higher-power boost/buck designs.
Technical Context
The NCP3063BMNTXG implements a hysteretic, gated-oscillator DC-DC control architecture that eliminates need for loop compensation. Its internal comparator compares feedback voltage against a 1.25 V reference, while the oscillator's timing capacitor (Pin 3) sets frequency via charge/discharge current ratio (6:1 typical), enabling stable operation across input ranges from 0 to 40 V.
Current limiting is enforced via peak-sense comparator monitoring voltage across an external sense resistor (RSC), triggering switch turn-off when VIPK exceeds 200 mV. Thermal protection disables the switch at 160°C junction temperature and re-enables it at ≤150°C, providing robust fault recovery without external circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 0 V to +40 V - supports wide-input industrial and automotive supply rails without pre-regulation. |
| Switch Current Rating | 1.5 A continuous - enables direct drive of medium-power converters without external transistors in many applications. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 150 kHz typical (110–190 kHz range) - balances EMI, efficiency, and component size for cost-sensitive designs. |
| Reference Voltage | 1.25 V ±1.5% - ensures tight output regulation stability over temperature and line variations. |
| Current Sense Threshold | 200 mV ±35 mV - sets precise overcurrent limit via external RSC, enabling predictable short-circuit protection. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 160°C activation with 10°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Package Type | DFN-8 (4 mm × 4 mm, 0.8 mm pitch) with exposed pad - provides low thermal resistance (RJA = 80°C/W) for high-power density layouts. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DFN-8 (Case 488AF), 4 mm × 4 mm body, 0.8 mm pitch, exposed thermal pad (must be connected to GND).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Switch Collector (SWC) | Darlington switch collector terminal | Connects to inductor/diode node in buck/boost; handles full switched current up to 1.5 A. |
| 2 - Switch Emitter (SWE) | Darlington switch emitter terminal | Return path for switch current; used as gate-drive reference in external transistor configurations. |
| 3 - Timing Capacitor (TCAP) | Oscillator timing input | Controls switching frequency via external capacitor; voltage swing limited to −0.2 V to +1.4 V. |
| 4 - GND | Ground reference for all internal circuits | Primary return for power, logic, and thermal pad; must be low-impedance connection for stability. |
| 5 - Comparator Inverting Input (COMP) | Feedback voltage input | Compares divided output voltage against 1.25 V reference to regulate output level. |
| 6 - VCC | Supply voltage input | Power source for internal circuitry; accepts 0–40 V, with supply current ≤7 mA under load. |
| 7 - Ipk Sense (IPK) | Peak current sense input | Monitors voltage drop across external sense resistor to enforce cycle-by-cycle current limiting. |
| 8 - N.C. | No-connect terminal | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - no external connection permitted. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Step-up/down/inverting topology support | Single IC replaces multiple converter types - reduces BOM count and design time for multi-rail systems. |
| Internal 1.5 A Darlington switch | Eliminates need for external power transistor in ≤1.5 A applications, simplifying layout and lowering cost. |
| 150 kHz fixed-frequency oscillator | Enables predictable EMI filtering and consistent inductor sizing across production units. |
| 1.25 V ±1.5% precision reference | Ensures ±1.5% output voltage accuracy without trimming, critical for regulated LED or sensor supplies. |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Prevents thermal runaway by disabling switch at 160°C and re-enabling only after cooling to ≤150°C. |
| Pb-free DFN-8 package | Meets RoHS requirements and supports automated reflow assembly with enhanced thermal performance. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar switching regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NCP3063DR2G | SOIC-8 package (RJA = 180°C/W), same electrical specs, no exposed thermal pad | Preferred for prototyping or low-power applications where thermal dissipation is less critical | Select when board space allows larger footprint and thermal management uses PCB copper rather than pad soldering. |
| NCV3063MNTXG | Automotive-grade variant (−40°C to +125°C operating range), identical DFN-8 package and pinout | Required for AEC-Q100-compliant automotive modules and extended-temperature industrial controls | Choose for automotive battery systems or harsh-environment equipment where extended temperature qualification is mandatory. |
Compared with NCP3063BMNTXG, the NCP3063DR2G trades thermal performance for ease of hand-soldering and test, while the NCV3063MNTXG adds automotive qualification without altering footprint or functionality - making both viable alternatives depending on thermal, manufacturability, or compliance needs.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the NCP3063BMNTXG?
The NCP3063BMNTXG supports an absolute maximum input voltage of +40 V on the VCC pin (Pin 6) and Darlington switch collector (Pin 1). Operation above this rating risks permanent device damage. The recommended operating range remains 0–40 V, with stable regulation demonstrated from 5 V to 36 V in published buck/boost demos.
Can the NCP3063BMNTXG be used in inverting voltage applications?
Yes, the NCP3063BMNTXG is explicitly designed for inverting topologies. Figure 22 in the datasheet shows a validated −12 V @ 100 mA inverting converter using NCP3063BMNTXG with 22 µH inductor, 1N5819 diode, and 470 µF/35 V output capacitor - achieving 49.8% efficiency and <300 mVpp ripple.
How does the thermal shutdown feature work in the NCP3063BMNTXG?
The NCP3063BMNTXG integrates a thermal shutdown circuit that disables the internal Darlington switch when junction temperature reaches 160°C. It remains off until temperature falls to ≤150°C due to 10°C hysteresis - preventing oscillation and enabling safe cooldown before resuming operation. This protects against sustained overload or inadequate heatsinking.
What is the purpose of the exposed pad on the NCP3063BMNTXG DFN-8 package?
The exposed pad on the NCP3063BMNTXG must be soldered to a GND plane to serve two functions: (1) provide low-thermal-resistance path (RJA = 80°C/W) for heat dissipation, and (2) stabilize internal ground references. Leaving it unconnected degrades thermal performance and may cause regulation instability or premature thermal shutdown.
Is the NCP3063BMNTXG pin-compatible with the legacy MC34063A?
No, the NCP3063BMNTXG is not pin-compatible with MC34063A. While functionally similar, NCP3063BMNTXG uses an 8-pin DFN layout with different pin assignments (e.g., Pin 3 = TCAP, Pin 4 = GND, Pin 8 = N.C.), whereas MC34063A uses 8-pin DIP/SOIC with Pin 3 = CT, Pin 4 = GND, Pin 5 = VOUT. Board redesign is required for migration.
