Product details
Overview
NCP59151MN30TYG from onsemi is a 3.0 V fixed-output, 1.5 A very low-dropout (VLDO) linear regulator in DFN8-4×4 package, featuring 300 mV typical dropout at full load, logic-compatible enable input, and open-collector error flag output - deployed for FPGA core voltage regulation, post-regulation in switching supplies, and industrial point-of-load applications.
For engineers reviewing the NCP59151MN30TYG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include its 3.0 V fixed output with ±2% accuracy over temperature, 125°C junction rating, ceramic-capacitor stability, thermal shutdown, reverse current protection, and compatibility with compact PCB layouts requiring high power density.
Technical Context
The NCP59151MN30TYG implements a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout and fast transient response. Its internal reference is trimmed to 1.24 V for fixed-output variants, with feedback routed internally to the SENSE pin (Pin 7), eliminating external resistor networks.
It integrates CMOS/TTL-compatible EN control (1.8 V threshold), active-low open-drain FLG output with 95% VOUT fault detection threshold and 2% hysteresis, and robust protection including current limiting (2.0–3.0 A), thermal shutdown, and reverse output current blocking up to 6.5 V (VOUT–VIN).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.0 V ±2% over −40°C to +125°C; enables direct replacement of legacy 3.0 V LDOs without external feedback components. |
| Max Output Current | 1.5 A continuous; supports high-current digital loads like FPGAs and DSPs without derating under typical thermal conditions. |
| Dropout Voltage | 300 mV typical at 1.5 A; allows operation with VIN as low as 3.3 V, critical for battery-powered or multi-rail systems. |
| Ground Current | 40–80 mA at 1.5 A load; minimizes total system power loss compared to older LDO architectures. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.24 V to 13.5 V; accommodates wide-input industrial supplies while maintaining regulation down to near-VOUT. |
| PSRR @ 100 kHz | ≥60 dB at 0.5 A; suppresses high-frequency switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters in hybrid power architectures. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Active at TJ ≥125°C; protects against sustained overload or inadequate heatsinking in enclosed enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
DFN8-4×4 package (Case 488AF), 0.8 mm pitch, exposed thermal pad (EP) connected to GND; 2.0 oz copper area ≥500 mm² required for RJA = 75°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | EN | CMOS/TTL-compatible enable input; logic high ≥1.8 V enables regulation, low ≤0.8 V places device in microamp shutdown. |
| 2 | VIN | Main input supply rail; accepts 2.24–13.5 V and powers both internal circuitry and output load. |
| 3 | GND | Power ground reference; ties to EP for optimal thermal conduction and noise immunity. |
| 4 | VOUT | Regulated 3.0 V output; capable of sourcing 1.5 A with <1.0% load regulation across full current range. |
| 5 | NC | No internal connection; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practices. |
| 6 | FLG | Open-collector error flag; sinks up to 5 mA when VOUT drops below 95% of nominal (2.85 V), indicating fault condition. |
| 7 | SENSE | Internal feedback node for fixed-output version; connects directly to VOUT for precision regulation without external resistors. |
| 8 | NC | No internal connection; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practices. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ceramic capacitor stability | Stable with ≥47 µF X7R/X5R ceramic output capacitor; eliminates need for electrolytic or tantalum, reducing board area and improving reliability. |
| Fast transient response | Sub-500 µs startup time and <200 µs/V output voltage slew rate; maintains tight regulation during FPGA/DSP dynamic load steps. |
| Reverse output current protection | Blocks reverse current flow when VOUT > VIN (up to 6.5 V differential); prevents backup battery discharge in dual-supply systems. |
| Low ground current | 60 mA typical at 1.5 A load; improves efficiency in high-current, low-VIN applications where IGND × VIN dominates losses. |
| AEC-Q100 qualified variant available | NCV59151MN30TYG meets automotive Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C) with PPAP capability; same pinout and electrical specs as NCP59151MN30TYG. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MIC29150-3.0WT | Same 3.0 V/1.5 A rating but higher 450 mV dropout; requires larger output capacitor (100 µF min) and lacks integrated error flag. | Legacy design support only; not recommended for new designs due to inferior transient response and no AEC-Q100 option. | Select NCP59151MN30TYG for lower dropout, faster response, and automotive-grade availability. |
| TLD1113-30-1 | 3.0 V/1.5 A automotive LDO with integrated watchdog timer; higher quiescent current (120 µA vs. 5 µA shutdown) and no enable pin. | Targeted at ASIL-B safety-critical subsystems; adds functional safety features unnecessary for general-purpose regulation. | Choose NCP59151MN30TYG when enable control, error flag, and minimal BOM count are prioritized over watchdog functionality. |
Compared with MIC29150-3.0WT and TLD1113-30-1, the NCP59151MN30TYG delivers superior power efficiency via lower dropout and ground current, offers flexible system-level fault signaling with FLG, and provides seamless migration path to automotive-grade NCV59151MN30TYG without layout change.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for NCP59151MN30TYG to regulate 3.0 V output?
The NCP59151MN30TYG requires a minimum input voltage of 2.24 V to operate, but to maintain regulation at full 1.5 A load, VIN must exceed VOUT by at least the dropout voltage - 300 mV typical, so 3.3 V is recommended. Below 3.3 V, output current capability decreases progressively per the dropout vs. load curve in Figure 4 of the datasheet.
Does NCP59151MN30TYG require an external feedback resistor network?
No, the NCP59151MN30TYG is a fixed-output 3.0 V regulator with internal feedback connected to the SENSE pin (Pin 7). Unlike adjustable versions such as NCP59152, it does not require external resistors - simplifying layout and improving accuracy by eliminating resistor tolerance and thermal drift effects.
How is thermal performance affected when using NCP59151MN30TYG on a standard 2-layer PCB?
On a standard 2-layer PCB with 500 mm² of 2.0 oz copper connected to the exposed pad, the NCP59151MN30TYG achieves RJA = 75°C/W. At 1.5 A and 3.3 V input, power dissipation is ~450 mW, resulting in ~34°C rise above ambient - well within the 125°C junction limit. Adding thermal vias under the EP further improves performance.
Can NCP59151MN30TYG be used in automotive applications?
Yes - the pin-compatible NCV59151MN30TYG variant is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified (−40°C to +125°C) and PPAP capable. While NCP59151MN30TYG itself is not automotive-qualified, its identical electrical specs and footprint allow direct substitution during prototyping, with seamless transition to NCV59151MN30TYG for production.
What is the purpose of the NC pins on NCP59151MN30TYG?
Pins 5 and 8 of the NCP59151MN30TYG are No-Connect terminals with no internal bond wire or circuit connection. They may be left floating or tied to GND for mechanical stability and improved thermal conduction - but must never be connected to any active signal or voltage source to avoid unintended coupling or ESD paths.
