Product details
Overview
NCP3064BMNTXG from onsemi is a monolithic DC-DC switching regulator IC supporting buck, boost, and inverting topologies with an internal 1.5 A Darlington output switch, 150 kHz oscillator, 1.25 V ±1.5% reference, and logic-level ON/OFF shutdown control. It operates from 3.0 V to 40 V input and delivers regulated outputs for cost-sensitive industrial and consumer power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the NCP3064BMNTXG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its adjustable output voltage range, cycle-by-cycle current limiting at 200 mV sense threshold, thermal shutdown at 160 °C, standby current under 100 µA, and DFN-8 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The NCP3064BMNTXG implements a hysteretic, gated-oscillator architecture where output regulation is achieved by enabling/disabling switch conduction per oscillator cycle based on feedback comparator output - eliminating need for external loop compensation. Its timing capacitor (Pin 3) sets oscillator frequency via a 1:6 charge/discharge current ratio, yielding typical 150 kHz operation with 2.2 nF CT.
Current limiting is enforced via a dedicated Ipk Sense comparator (Pin 7) monitoring voltage across an external sense resistor; conduction terminates when sensed voltage exceeds 200 mV (typ), providing cycle-by-cycle protection. Thermal shutdown activates at 160 °C with 10 °C hysteresis, disabling the Darlington switch until junction temperature falls to ~150 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.0 V to 40 V - supports wide-input industrial and automotive battery-supplied systems without pre-regulation. |
| Switch Current Rating | 1.5 A peak - enables direct drive of medium-power converters without external MOSFETs in many applications. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 150 kHz (typ) - balances efficiency and component size; programmable via external CT capacitor. |
| Reference Voltage | 1.25 V ±1.5% - provides stable feedback threshold for precise output voltage setting with external resistor divider. |
| Current Limit Threshold | 200 mV (typ) at Pin 7 - defines peak switch current as IPK = 0.2 V / RSENSE, enabling accurate overcurrent protection. |
| Standby Current | <100 µA at TJ = 25 °C - ensures ultra-low quiescent consumption during shutdown mode. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 160 °C activation with 10 °C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking without latch-up. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DFN-8 (4 mm × 4 mm, 0.8 mm pitch, exposed thermal pad); RoHS-compliant, Pb-free; case 488AF.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Switch Collector | Collector of internal Darlington transistor | High-side switching node; connects to inductor/transformer primary in buck/boost/inverting topologies. |
| 2 - Switch Emitter | Emiter of internal Darlington transistor | Return path for switch current; tied to GND in buck configuration, to input in boost/inverting. |
| 3 - Timing Capacitor | Oscillator timing input | Controls switching frequency via external capacitor; charge/discharge current ratio sets duty cycle limit. |
| 4 - GND | Ground reference for all internal circuits | Must connect to low-impedance system ground; EP pad (exposed thermal pad) must also be tied to GND for thermal performance. |
| 5 - Comparator Inverting Input | Inverting input of feedback error amplifier | Connects to resistor divider from output; compares against 1.25 V reference to regulate output voltage. |
| 6 - VCC | Power supply input | Supplies internal circuitry; must be bypassed with ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor near pin. |
| 7 - Ipk Sense | Peak current sense input | Monitors voltage drop across external sense resistor; triggers cycle-by-cycle current limit when >200 mV. |
| 8 - ON/OFF | Logic-controlled enable/disable input | Pull ≤0.8 V or float to disable (standby); pull ≥2.4 V to enable; compatible with TTL/CMOS logic levels. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable Output Topology Support | Enables step-down (buck), step-up (boost), and voltage-inverting configurations using same IC and minimal external components. |
| Internal 1.5 A Darlington Switch | Eliminates need for external power transistor in sub-1.5 A applications, reducing BOM count and layout complexity. |
| 150 kHz Fixed-Frequency Oscillator | Provides predictable EMI profile and simplifies filter design; frequency settable via single CT capacitor. |
| 1.25 V ±1.5% Precision Reference | Ensures tight output voltage regulation across temperature and line variations without trimming. |
| Logic-Level ON/OFF Control | Supports direct interface with microcontrollers or logic gates; <100 µA shutdown current extends battery life. |
| Cycle-by-Cycle Current Limiting | Prevents switch destruction during short-circuit or overload by terminating each conduction cycle independently. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar switching regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC34063ADR2G | Lower max switch current (1.5 A vs. 1.5 A), but slower 100 kHz oscillator; no integrated thermal shutdown; wider VCC tolerance (−0.3 V to 40 V). | Less suitable for high-frequency or thermally constrained designs; requires external thermal protection circuitry. | Choose MC34063ADR2G only if legacy compatibility or lower cost is critical and thermal margin is ample. |
| NCP3063MNTXG | Same family, but 100 kHz oscillator (vs. 150 kHz); identical pinout and feature set except frequency and thermal shutdown threshold (150 °C vs. 160 °C). | Acceptable for lower-frequency designs where smaller inductors are not needed; slightly reduced thermal safety margin. | Select NCP3063MNTXG when board space allows larger magnetics and thermal derating is verified. |
Compared with MC34063ADR2G and NCP3063MNTXG, the NCP3064BMNTXG offers higher switching frequency for smaller passive components, tighter reference accuracy (±1.5% vs. ±2%), and superior thermal protection - making it preferable for new designs demanding density, precision, and robustness.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCP3064BMNTXG?
The NCP3064BMNTXG supports a maximum input voltage of 40 V on the VCC pin (Pin 6) and Switch Collector pin (Pin 1), with absolute maximum ratings specified from −0.3 V to 42 V. Operation beyond 40 V risks permanent damage. The device is rated for continuous operation from 3.0 V to 40 V, making it suitable for 12 V, 24 V, and 36 V industrial and automotive systems. Always observe derating guidelines per ambient temperature and PCB thermal design.
Does the NCP3064BMNTXG require external compensation components?
No, the NCP3064BMNTXG does not require external compensation components. Its hysteretic, gated-oscillator architecture eliminates the need for dominant-pole loop compensation, enabling stable operation with only basic external components: inductor, diode, timing capacitor, feedback resistors, and input/output capacitors. This simplifies design, reduces BOM count, and improves reliability - confirmed in Figures 16–24 of the official datasheet where no compensation network appears in any reference schematic.
Can the NCP3064BMNTXG be used in a synchronous rectification configuration?
No, the NCP3064BMNTXG cannot be used in synchronous rectification configurations. It integrates only a single Darlington switch (NPN-based) and lacks complementary gate-drive outputs or timing control for external synchronous MOSFETs. Rectification must be performed using an external Schottky or fast-recovery diode, as shown in all reference schematics (Figures 16, 20, 24). For synchronous operation, consider onsemi's newer NCP3170 or NCP3021 families.
What is the thermal resistance of the NCP3064BMNTXG in its DFN-8 package?
The NCP3064BMNTXG in DFN-8 (case 488AF) has a thermal resistance of RJA = 78 °C/W and RJC = 14 °C/W, measured with 1 oz copper and 1 in² copper area per JEDEC standards. These values assume proper soldering of the exposed thermal pad (Pin 4 EP) directly to a solid GND plane. Failure to connect the EP pad degrades thermal performance significantly - RJA may exceed 120 °C/W in non-optimized layouts.
How does the ON/OFF pin function in the NCP3064BMNTXG?
The ON/OFF pin (Pin 8) of the NCP3064BMNTXG enables logic-level shutdown: pulling it ≤0.8 V (or leaving it floating) disables switching and reduces supply current to <100 µA; pulling it ≥2.4 V enables normal operation. It is TTL/CMOS compatible and supports PWM dimming up to 1 kHz. The pin must never exceed 25 V, and series resistance (e.g., 10 kΩ) is recommended if driven from a higher-voltage source to limit input current and shift threshold safely.
