Product details
Overview
NCP5662DS25R4G from onsemi is a fixed-output, 2.5 V, 2.0 A low-dropout linear regulator in D2PAK-5 package, featuring ultra-fast load transient response (1–3 µs settling), 26 µVrms output noise without bypass capacitor, and integrated Enable and Error Flag functions. It delivers stable power for high-current ASIC core rails and post-regulation in servers and networking equipment.
For engineers reviewing the NCP5662DS25R4G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include dropout voltage ≤1.3 V at 2.0 A, ground current ≤3.0 mA under full load, error flag threshold at 91–97% of VOUT, thermal resistance RJA = 45 °C/W, and Pb-free D2PAK packaging with exposed thermal pad.
Technical Context
The NCP5662DS25R4G implements a bipolar-based LDO architecture with a 0.9 V internal reference and precision error amplifier, enabling stable 2.5 V output regulation across −40°C to +85°C ambient. Its ultra-fast transient response stems from high-gain control loop design and low-output-impedance output stage, optimized for dynamic loads up to 2.0 A.
It integrates dual protection: current limiting (3.0 A internal clamp) and thermal shutdown at 160°C, with an Error Flag (EF) pin that asserts logic-low when output falls below 91–97% of nominal 2.5 V - requiring external 100 kΩ pull-up. The Enable (EN) pin supports logic-level on/off control with 0.3 V/1.3 V thresholds.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5 V ±2% over −40°C to +150°C junction temperature, ensuring tight rail accuracy for sensitive digital cores. |
| Max Output Current | 2.0 A continuous, supporting high-power FPGA/ASIC core supplies without derating at TA ≤85°C with proper heatsinking. |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.0 V typical / 1.3 V max at 2.0 A, allowing operation with Vin as low as 3.5 V while maintaining regulation. |
| Ground Current | ≤3.0 mA at 2.0 A load, independent of output current - critical for efficiency in battery-backed or always-on systems. |
| Noise (RMS) | 26 µVrms (10 Hz–100 kHz), enabling clean power delivery to RF/analog sections without external bypass capacitor. |
| PSRR | >65 dB at 1 kHz, suppressing switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters in multi-rail power architectures. |
| Error Flag Threshold | 91–97% of VOUT (i.e., 2.275–2.425 V), providing precise undervoltage detection for system-level fault monitoring. |
Pinout & Package
D2PAK-5 (Case 936A−02) thermally enhanced package with exposed tab connected to GND; requires minimum 1 sq-in copper pour (1 oz) for RJA = 45 °C/W performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | EF (Error Flag) | Open-drain output asserting logic-low when VOUT drops below 91–97% of 2.5 V; requires external 100 kΩ pull-up to Vin. |
| 2 | Vin | Main input supply (2–9 V); pins 5 and 6 are internally tied to this node in DFN8 but not present in D2PAK - only pin 2 serves Vin here. |
| 3 & Tab | GND | Power ground and thermal path; exposed tab must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal integrity. |
| 4 | Vout | Regulated 2.5 V output; connects directly to load; layout requires short, wide trace to minimize inductance. |
| 5 | EN (Enable) | Logic-controlled on/off input; device enabled when EN ≥1.3 V, disabled when EN ≤0.3 V; float-high default if unused. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-fast transient response | 1–3 µs settling time enables stable operation under sudden 2.0 A → 10 mA load steps in CPU/GPU power domains. |
| Low-noise operation | 26 µVrms noise without bypass capacitor reduces BOM count and PCB area in space-constrained server modules. |
| Load-independent ground current | 3.0 mA max at full 2.0 A load improves light-load efficiency vs. conventional LDOs with current-proportional quiescent draw. |
| Integrated error flag | Dedicated EF pin provides system-level fault signaling without external supervision IC, simplifying power-good monitoring. |
| Thermal robustness | RJC = 5.0 °C/W and RJL = 7.0 °C/W enable >3 W dissipation capability with minimal heatsink in D2PAK package. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS7A8300RGRT | 2.5 V fixed, 3 A output, 0.6 V dropout, but higher ground current (1.2 mA typ at no load, rising with load) and no error flag. | Lacks EF pin; better suited for ultra-low-dropout needs where fault signaling is handled externally. | Choose TPS7A8300RGRT only if <0.8 V dropout is mandatory and EF functionality is redundant in system architecture. |
| MCP1826T-2502E/OT | 2.5 V fixed, 2 A, DFN-8 package, 1.2 V dropout, no EF pin, 65 dB PSRR, but 10 µVrms noise (lower than NCP5662DS25R4G). | Smaller footprint, lower noise, but lacks integrated fault reporting and has higher thermal resistance (RJA ≈ 120 °C/W). | Select MCP1826T-2502E/OT for compact consumer designs where board space is constrained and EF is unnecessary. |
Compared with TPS7A8300RGRT and MCP1826T-2502E/OT, the NCP5662DS25R4G uniquely combines error flag signaling, ultra-fast transient response, and D2PAK thermal performance - making it optimal for industrial and telecom systems requiring both reliability and real-time fault awareness.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCP5662DS25R4G?
The NCP5662DS25R4G has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 18 V. However, its recommended operating input range is 2 V to 9 V - with minimum Vin determined by dropout voltage: Vin ≥ VOUT + VDO (≥3.5 V at 2.0 A). Exceeding 9 V may increase power dissipation beyond safe limits without adequate heatsinking.
Does the NCP5662DS25R4G require an external bypass capacitor to achieve its specified 26 µVrms noise performance?
No, the NCP5662DS25R4G achieves 26 µVrms output noise (10 Hz–100 kHz) without any external bypass capacitor - a key design advantage confirmed in the datasheet's Electrical Characteristics table and Typical Characteristics Figure 16. This eliminates BOM cost and PCB area typically needed for noise reduction.
How does the Error Flag (EF) pin on the NCP5662DS25R4G behave during startup and fault conditions?
The EF pin on the NCP5662DS25R4G is an open-drain output that remains high-impedance until regulation is achieved. Once VOUT reaches ≥97% of 2.5 V, EF goes high (via external pull-up). If VOUT drops below 91% of 2.5 V - due to overload, short, or input collapse - EF pulls low within 50 µs blanking time, signaling fault to host controller.
Can the NCP5662DS25R4G be used in automotive applications?
The NCP5662DS25R4G is not AEC-Q100 qualified; for automotive use, the pin-compatible NCV5662DS25R4G (with NCV prefix) is specified - it shares identical electrical specs but adds PPAP capability, unique site controls, and extended −40°C to +125°C operating range. NCP5662DS25R4G is rated for −40°C to +85°C and intended for industrial/commercial systems.
What thermal design guidance applies to the NCP5662DS25R4G in D2PAK package?
For the NCP5662DS25R4G in D2PAK, thermal design requires soldering the exposed tab to a minimum 1 sq-in copper area (1 oz thickness) to achieve RJA = 45 °C/W. Without this, RJA degrades significantly. Power dissipation must stay below PD = (150°C − TA) / 45 °C/W; at 85°C ambient, max continuous PD ≈ 1.44 W - sufficient for ~1.1 A at 1.3 V dropout.
