Product details
Overview
NCP565D2T12R4G from onsemi is a fixed-output, 1.2 V, 1.5 A low-dropout linear regulator in D2PAK-3 package. It delivers ultra-fast load transient response (≤1.0 µs), maintains 0.9 V internal reference with ±2% accuracy over −10°C to +105°C, and features thermal shutdown at 160°C and current limit of 3.3 A typical - ideal for post-regulation in server power supplies and ASIC core voltage rails.
For engineers reviewing the NCP565D2T12R4G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified electrical parameters, validated D2PAK-3 terminal mapping, confirmed automotive-grade alternatives, and design-critical thermal and stability guidance derived directly from onsemi's official datasheet Rev. 20 (June 2024).
Technical Context
The NCP565D2T12R4G integrates a precision 0.9 V bandgap reference, low-impedance output stage, and fast-response error amplifier optimized for high-current, low-voltage regulation. Its architecture supports stable operation with ceramic, tantalum, or aluminum-electrolytic output capacitors (≥1.0 µF, ESR 50 mΩ–2.5 Ω) and achieves <10 mV output deviation during 10 mA ↔ 1.5 A load steps.
Protection circuitry includes foldback current limiting (3.3 A typ), thermal shutdown (160°C), and short-circuit robustness. Input voltage range is 2.5 V to 9 V, with dropout voltage specified at 0.9 V (typ) at 1.5 A load - enabling efficient operation in tight VIN–VOUT margins common in multi-rail server and telecom systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.2 V ±2% (−10°C to +105°C); ensures stable core supply for FPGA I/O banks and ASIC logic rails. |
| Max Output Current | 1.5 A continuous; supports high-current point-of-load regulation without external pass devices. |
| Dropout Voltage | 0.9 V (typ) at 1.5 A; enables operation with only 2.1 V input for 1.2 V output - critical for battery-backed or low-VIN systems. |
| Ground Current | 1.5 mA (typ) at 1.5 A load; minimizes quiescent power loss in always-on subsystems. |
| Ripple Rejection | 85 dB (120 Hz), 75 dB (1 kHz); suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding sensitive analog or RF circuits. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 160°C junction temperature; provides fail-safe protection during sustained overload or inadequate heatsinking. |
| Output Noise | 38 µVrms (100 Hz–100 kHz, 1.2 V output); low enough for noise-sensitive analog signal chains and PLL power domains. |
Pinout & Package
D2PAK-3 (Case 936) package with exposed tab thermally and electrically connected to Ground. Compact 10.2 mm × 9.3 mm footprint, 4.7 mm height, Pb-free (G suffix), rated for 83°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance with 100 mm² copper heat spreader.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Vin | Positive input supply | Accepts 2.5 V to 9 V; must be bypassed with ≥150 µF low-ESR capacitor placed adjacent to pin for optimal transient response. |
| 2 - Ground | Power ground reference | Common return for input/output paths and thermal tab; requires low-inductance connection to PCB ground plane. |
| 3 - Vout | Regulated output | Delivers fixed 1.2 V at up to 1.5 A; output capacitor network (≥1.0 µF, ESR 50 mΩ–2.5 Ω) must be placed within 5 mm of this pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-fast transient response | ≤1.0 µs recovery time for 10 mA ↔ 1.5 A load steps - preserves voltage integrity in burst-mode digital loads. |
| Low ground current | 1.5 mA at full 1.5 A load - reduces system-level standby power by >50% vs. legacy LDOs. |
| Low-noise regulation | 38 µVrms output noise (100 Hz–100 kHz) - avoids jitter degradation in clock distribution networks. |
| Integrated protection | Current limit (3.3 A typ), thermal shutdown (160°C), and short-circuit hardening - eliminates need for external fault management circuitry. |
| Pb-free & automotive qualified | AEC-Q100 Grade 1 compliant (−40°C to +125°C ambient); suitable for industrial control and automotive infotainment power rails. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-dropout linear regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NCV565D2T12R4G | Automotive-grade variant: AEC-Q100 qualified, PPAP-capable, identical electrical specs and pinout. | Required for automotive infotainment, ADAS camera modules, and body control units needing qualification documentation. | Select NCV565D2T12R4G when automotive qualification, extended temperature validation (−40°C to +125°C ambient), or PPAP support is mandatory. |
| TPS7A4701RGWR | Lower noise (4.7 µVrms), lower max current (1 A), SOIC-20 package; no integrated thermal shutdown. | Better suited for ultra-low-noise analog signal chains (e.g., audio DACs, precision ADCs) but lacks current capability and protection for digital loads. | Choose TPS7A4701RGWR only for noise-critical analog rails where 1.5 A current and thermal protection are not required. |
Compared with NCP565D2T12R4G, NCV565D2T12R4G adds automotive qualification without sacrificing performance or footprint, while TPS7A4701RGWR trades current capacity and integrated protection for ultra-low noise - making each suitable for distinct system-level priorities: qualification rigor, power density, or analog purity.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCP565D2T12R4G?
The NCP565D2T12R4G has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 18 V, but its recommended operating input voltage range is 2.5 V to 9 V. Operation above 9 V is not characterized and may compromise long-term reliability or parametric performance. The minimum input voltage is determined by the dropout requirement: Vin ≥ Vout + Vdo = 1.2 V + 0.9 V = 2.1 V, rounded up to 2.5 V per datasheet specification.
Does the NCP565D2T12R4G require external compensation components?
No, the NCP565D2T12R4G is internally compensated and remains stable with standard output capacitors (≥1.0 µF, ESR 50 mΩ–2.5 Ω) including ceramic, tantalum, and aluminum-electrolytic types. The datasheet confirms stability without external compensation, and recommends using a 150 µF OSCON capacitor in parallel with a 10 µF OSCON for optimal transient response and AC stability.
What thermal resistance values apply to the NCP565D2T12R4G in D2PAK-3 package?
The NCP565D2T12R4G in D2PAK-3 (Case 936) has a thermal resistance of RJA = 83°C/W (junction-to-ambient) and RJP = 4°C/W (junction-to-pin), measured with a 100 mm² copper heat spreader and 1 oz copper thickness. These values assume proper PCB layout with the exposed tab soldered to a large ground plane - insufficient copper area will degrade thermal performance significantly.
Is the NCP565D2T12R4G pin-compatible with adjustable-output versions of the NCP565 family?
No, the NCP565D2T12R4G (D2PAK-3, fixed 1.2 V) is not pin-compatible with adjustable-output variants like NCP565D2TR4G (D2PAK-5), which include an ADJ pin. The D2PAK-3 package has only three pins (Vin, GND, Vout), while D2PAK-5 adds NC and ADJ pins. PCB layout and footprint must be redesigned to switch between fixed and adjustable versions.
What is the output voltage tolerance of the NCP565D2T12R4G over temperature?
The NCP565D2T12R4G guarantees a fixed 1.2 V output with ±2% tolerance over the operating junction temperature range of −10°C to +105°C, and ±3% tolerance over the extended range of −40°C to +125°C. This is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table for the 1.2 V fixed version under both temperature conditions.
