Product details
Overview
NCP5663DS18G from onsemi is a fixed-output, 1.8 V, 3.0 A ultra-low-dropout linear regulator in D2PAK package, featuring 1.0 V typical dropout at full load, 28 µVrms output noise without bypass capacitor, and integrated Enable and Error Flag functions - deployed in server power rails and ASIC post-regulation.
For engineers reviewing the NCP5663DS18G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include guaranteed 1.8 V ±1% accuracy over −40°C to +150°C, thermal shutdown at 160°C, low ground current (≤3.0 mA at 3.0 A), and error flag threshold at 91–97% of nominal output.
Technical Context
The NCP5663DS18G implements a bipolar-based LDO architecture with a 0.9 V internal reference, enabling stable 1.8 V output via trimmed resistor network - not adjustable externally. Its error flag pin asserts logic low when output falls below 91% of 1.8 V, requiring external 100 kΩ pull-up.
Thermal protection activates at 160°C junction temperature, and current limiting clamps peak output to 4.5 A. Input voltage range is 2.0 V to 9.0 V, with PSRR >65 dB at 1 kHz and ripple rejection >70 dB at 120 Hz - optimized for noisy intermediate bus environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8 V ±1% at TJ = 25°C; ±2% over −40°C to +150°C - ensures tight regulation for core logic supplies. |
| Max Output Current | 3.0 A continuous - supports high-current FPGA/ASIC core rails without external pass devices. |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.0 V typical at 3.0 A - enables operation from 2.8 V input to deliver 1.8 V, minimizing power loss. |
| Output Noise | 28 µVrms (10 Hz–100 kHz) - eliminates need for noise-reduction bypass capacitor in space-constrained designs. |
| Ground Current | ≤3.0 mA at 3.0 A load - remains constant across load, simplifying thermal modeling and efficiency calculation. |
| Error Flag Threshold | 91–97% of Vout - provides early warning of output sag before functional failure in mission-critical systems. |
| Enable Threshold | VEN(H) ≥1.3 V, VEN(L) ≤0.3 V - compatible with standard 1.8 V/3.3 V logic control signals. |
Pinout & Package
D2PAK-5 (Case 936A), thermally enhanced surface-mount package with exposed tab tied to GND - delivers RθJC = 5.0°C/W for high-power dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Enable | Active-high digital control input; device disabled when pulled ≤0.3 V - enables system-level power sequencing. |
| 2 | Vin | Main input supply (2.0–9.0 V); requires 150 µF OSCON input capacitor for stability and transient response. |
| 3 | Ground | Power ground reference and thermal path; tab is electrically connected to Pin 3 - must be soldered to large copper pour. |
| 4 | Vout | Regulated 1.8 V output; stable with 10–150 µF output capacitance and 50–300 mΩ ESR. |
| 5 | Error Flag | Open-collector output asserting low when Vout < 91% of 1.8 V - requires external 100 kΩ pull-up to Vin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-fast transient response | Settles within 1–3 µs during 10 mA ↔ 3.0 A load steps - maintains voltage integrity for burst-mode processors. |
| Low-noise operation | 28 µVrms without bypass cap - reduces BOM count and PCB area in compact server modules. |
| Load-independent quiescent current | ≤3.0 mA up to 3.0 A - enables accurate efficiency prediction across full load range. |
| Integrated fault signaling | Error Flag with 50 µs blanking time - prevents false triggers during benign transients while enabling real-time rail monitoring. |
| Robust thermal protection | 160°C shutdown with hysteresis - prevents catastrophic failure under sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-current LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NCV5663DS18G | AEC-Q100 qualified, automotive-grade variant with identical electrical specs and 125°C extended temp range. | Required for automotive infotainment modules; not rated for 150°C industrial operation. | Select NCV5663DS18G only when PPAP documentation and automotive qualification are mandatory. |
| TPS7A8300RGRT | 3.0 A, 1.8 V fixed LDO with 0.6 V dropout, 6.5 µVrms noise, but no error flag and 2.5 V min input. | Better noise and dropout, but lacks fault reporting - unsuitable where rail health monitoring is required. | Choose TPS7A8300RGRT for ultra-low-noise applications without error detection needs; verify input voltage compatibility. |
Compared with NCP5663DS18G, NCV5663DS18G adds automotive qualification but sacrifices 150°C operation, while TPS7A8300RGRT improves noise and dropout yet omits error flag functionality - making NCP5663DS18G the sole option combining 3.0 A, 1.8 V, error flag, and 150°C capability.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCP5663DS18G?
The NCP5663DS18G has an absolute maximum input voltage (Vin) rating of 18 V, but its recommended operating input range is 2.0 V to 9.0 V per the Electrical Characteristics table. Exceeding 9.0 V may degrade performance or reliability, even if below the 18 V absolute limit - always maintain Vin ≤9.0 V in normal operation for NCP5663DS18G.
Does the NCP5663DS18G require an external bypass capacitor to achieve its specified 28 µVrms noise performance?
No, the NCP5663DS18G achieves 28 µVrms output noise without any external bypass capacitor - a key design advantage confirmed in the Features section and Electrical Characteristics table. This eliminates BOM cost and PCB area typically needed for noise reduction, making NCP5663DS18G ideal for space-constrained server and networking modules.
How does the Error Flag pin on the NCP5663DS18G behave during normal operation and fault conditions?
During normal operation, the Error Flag pin on the NCP5663DS18G remains logic high (open-collector, pulled up externally). When output voltage drops below 91% of 1.8 V (i.e., <1.638 V), it asserts logic low with ≤200 mV saturation voltage at 1.0 mA sink current. The NCP5663DS18G includes 50 µs blanking time to suppress false triggers during fast transients.
What is the thermal resistance and maximum junction temperature specification for the NCP5663DS18G?
The NCP5663DS18G has a thermal resistance of RθJC = 5.0°C/W (junction-to-case) and RθJA = 45°C/W (junction-to-air, measured with 625 mm² copper pour). Its maximum operating junction temperature is +150°C, with thermal shutdown activated at 160°C - ensuring safe operation under sustained 3.0 A loads when properly mounted on adequate copper.
Can the NCP5663DS18G be used in automotive applications?
The NCP5663DS18G is not AEC-Q100 qualified and is intended for industrial/commercial use. For automotive applications, onsemi offers the pin-compatible NCV5663DS18G variant - which shares identical electrical specs but adds AEC-Q100 qualification, PPAP capability, and extended −40°C to +125°C operating range. Use NCP5663DS18G only in non-automotive systems.
