Product details
Overview
NCV1117DT20RKG from onsemi is an automotive-grade, low-dropout linear voltage regulator delivering a fixed 2.0 V output at up to 1.0 A, with 1.2 V max dropout at 800 mA over temperature, ±1.0% output voltage accuracy, and integrated thermal shutdown, current limiting, and safe operating area protection. It serves as a point-of-load regulator in battery-powered automotive control modules requiring stable low-voltage rail generation.
For engineers reviewing the NCV1117DT20RKG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualification, DPAK package thermal performance, 20 V absolute maximum input voltage, no minimum load requirement, and compatibility with ceramic output capacitors down to 4.7 µF.
Technical Context
The NCV1117DT20RKG implements a bandgap-referenced error amplifier driving a PNP pass transistor, enabling low dropout operation without external compensation. Its internal 1.25 V reference is trimmed to ±1.0%, and regulation is maintained across −40°C to +125°C ambient temperature.
Protection circuitry includes foldback current limiting that reduces output current under short-circuit conditions, thermal shutdown activation at ~175°C junction temperature, and safe operating area (SOA) compensation to prevent secondary breakdown during transient overload events.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCV1117DT20RKG?
The NCV1117DT20RKG has an absolute maximum input voltage of 20 V, but its recommended operating input range is 2.9 V to 12 V for the 2.0 V fixed-output version. Exceeding 12 V may reduce output current capability to ≤1.0 A per datasheet Note 3, and sustained operation above 12 V requires careful thermal design due to increased power dissipation in the NCV1117DT20RKG.
Does the NCV1117DT20RKG require an external output capacitor, and what type is recommended?
Yes, the NCV1117DT20RKG requires a minimum 4.7 µF output capacitor with ESR between 33 mΩ and 2.2 Ω for stability. Ceramic, tantalum, or aluminum electrolytic types are acceptable if they meet these specifications across the full −40°C to +125°C operating range. The NCV1117DT20RKG remains stable with low-ESR ceramic capacitors, simplifying layout and reducing board space.
Is the NCV1117DT20RKG pin-compatible with older regulators like the LM317?
No-the NCV1117DT20RKG is not pin-compatible with the LM317. While the NCP1117 family (commercial variant) is pin-compatible with the LM317, the NCV1117DT20RKG uses a DPAK-3 package with Pin 1 = Ground, Pin 2 = Output, Pin 3 = Input, whereas the LM317 uses TO-220 or SOT-223 with Pin 1 = Adjust, Pin 2 = Output, Pin 3 = Input. This difference means direct replacement requires PCB redesign.
What thermal performance can be expected from the NCV1117DT20RKG in a typical DPAK layout?
In a standard 2.0 oz copper PCB with a 25 mm² copper pad connected to the exposed tab (Pin 2), the NCV1117DT20RKG achieves a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RJA) of 67°C/W. At 50°C ambient and 1.0 A load with 5 V input, power dissipation is ~3 W, resulting in ~201°C estimated junction temperature-exceeding safe limits. Thus, the NCV1117DT20RKG requires ≥500 mm² copper pour or external heatsinking to maintain TJ < 150°C under full load.
How does the NCV1117DT20RKG handle short-circuit conditions?
The NCV1117DT20RKG employs foldback current limiting: under short-circuit, output current drops to ~200–300 mA (vs. normal 1.0 A), reducing power dissipation and enabling safe operation until fault clears. Combined with thermal shutdown at ~175°C, this dual-protection scheme prevents damage during sustained shorts. Recovery is automatic once temperature falls below hysteresis threshold-no reset required for the NCV1117DT20RKG.
