Product details
Overview
NCV2574DW-ADJR2 from ON Semiconductor is a monolithic non-synchronous step-down (buck) DC-DC switching regulator delivering 0.5 A output current with adjustable output voltage from 1.23 V to 37 V, ±4% output voltage tolerance over line and load, and 52 kHz fixed-frequency internal oscillator. It operates from 40 V input and integrates thermal shutdown, cycle-by-cycle current limiting, and TTL-compatible shutdown control - used in industrial power supplies requiring compact, high-efficiency regulation.
For engineers reviewing the NCV2574DW-ADJR2 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 40 V max input rating, 0.5-A continuous output capability, feedback reference voltage of 1.23 V, SOIC-14 package thermal performance (RθJA = 77.1 °C/W), and compatibility with standard off-the-shelf inductors.
Technical Context
The NCV2574DW-ADJR2 implements a fixed-frequency PWM controller with internal 52-kHz oscillator, error amplifier referenced to 1.23 V, and integrated 0.5-A NPN power switch. Its non-synchronous architecture requires an external flyback diode and uses feedback voltage sensing at the FB pin to regulate output via resistor divider.
It features undervoltage lockout, thermal shutdown, and cycle-by-cycle current limiting for fault protection. The ON/OFF pin enables TTL-level shutdown with 50 μA standby current, and the device supports both continuous and discontinuous conduction modes depending on inductor value and load conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 0.5 A continuous - supports mid-power industrial loads without external current boosting |
| Input Voltage Range | Up to 40 V - suitable for 24-V and 36-V industrial bus rails with margin |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 1.23 V ±1.4% - sets precise output via external resistor divider; enables 1.23–37 V adjustment range |
| Oscillator Frequency | 52 kHz ±10% - fixed frequency simplifies EMI filtering and inductor selection |
| Output Voltage Tolerance | ±4% over line/load/temp - ensures stable regulation across operating conditions without trimming |
| Standby Quiescent Current | 50 μA typical - enables low-power shutdown mode for energy-sensitive systems |
| Saturation Voltage | 1.2 V max at 0.5 A - defines minimum dropout and impacts efficiency at low VOUT |
| Thermal Resistance (RθJA) | 77.1 °C/W (SOIC-14) - determines maximum power dissipation before thermal shutdown under natural convection |
Pinout & Package
NCV2574DW-ADJR2 is housed in a 14-pin SOIC (NPA) package measuring 8.992 mm × 7.498 mm, optimized for thermal performance and PCB layout simplicity in industrial power designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FB (Pin 3) | Feedback sense input | Connects to resistor divider midpoint; regulates output by comparing divided VOUT to 1.23 V reference |
| OUTPUT (Pin 12) | Power switch emitter | Switching node tied to inductor and diode cathode; carries pulsed 0.5-A current |
| ON/OFF (Pin 5) | Enable/disable control | TTL-compatible input: ≤1.2 V = active, ≥1.4 V = shutdown; 50 μA standby draw |
| VIN (Pin 10) | Input supply | High-side transistor collector; accepts up to 40 V; requires short, low-inductance path to CIN |
| PWR_GND (Pin 6) | Power ground | Return path for high-current switching loop; must be low-impedance connection to CIN/COUT grounds |
| SIG_GND (Pin 4) | Signal ground | Reference for internal bandgap, error amp, and logic; connect to PWR_GND at single point near IC |
| NC (Pins 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 11, 13, 14) | No internal connection | Internally unconnected but soldered to PCB for mechanical stability and thermal conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 0.5-A NPN switch | Eliminates need for external power transistor; reduces BOM count and layout complexity |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2574N-ADJ/NOPB | Same architecture, 8-pin PDIP package, RθJA = 60.4 °C/W, 45 V max input, no automotive qualification | Lower thermal resistance but larger footprint; lacks AEC-Q100 stress testing and extended temperature support | Prefer for cost-sensitive non-automotive prototypes where board space permits PDIP |
| MP1584EN-LF-Z | 40 V input, 3 A output, 1.5 MHz switching, synchronous rectification, 8-pin SOIC | Higher current and frequency enable smaller magnetics; lacks built-in current limit flag and has different shutdown polarity | Choose when scaling output current beyond 0.5 A or reducing solution size is critical; requires layout redesign |
Compared with LM2574N-ADJ/NOPB, NCV2574DW-ADJR2 offers automotive-grade reliability and SOIC-14 thermal performance; compared with MP1584EN-LF-Z, it trades higher current and frequency for simpler design, lower EMI, and proven robustness in harsh environments.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCV2574DW-ADJR2?
NCV2574DW-ADJR2 has a maximum input voltage rating of 40 V, as specified in its absolute maximum ratings table. This rating applies across the full operating temperature range and supports use in 24-V and 36-V industrial and automotive systems with transient margin. Exceeding 40 V risks permanent damage, even briefly.
Does the NCV2574DW-ADJR2 require an external diode, and what type is recommended?
Yes, NCV2574DW-ADJR2 requires an external Schottky diode connected between the OUTPUT pin and VOUT. A 3-A, 40-V Schottky diode such as the SB340 or MBR340 is recommended to minimize forward voltage drop and switching losses. The diode must handle peak currents up to 1.6 A and be placed close to the IC to reduce parasitic inductance.
How is the output voltage set on the NCV2574DW-ADJR2?
The NCV2574DW-ADJR2 uses a resistor divider from VOUT to GND, with the FB pin connected to the divider midpoint. Output voltage is calculated as VOUT = 1.23 V × (1 + R1/R2), where R2 connects FB to GND. For example, R1 = 10 kΩ and R2 = 1.24 kΩ yields ~11.3 V. The 1.23 V reference has ±1.4% initial tolerance and ±0.02%/°C drift.
Can the NCV2574DW-ADJR2 be used in a buck-boost configuration?
Yes, NCV2574DW-ADJR2 can be configured as a buck-boost (inverting) regulator by connecting the OUTPUT pin to ground and taking output from the inductor-diode junction. This requires reversing diode polarity and adjusting feedback placement. The datasheet provides Figure 20 as a validated buck-boost schematic, supporting outputs from −1.23 V to −37 V with same 0.5-A capability.
What thermal derating applies to the NCV2574DW-ADJR2 in SOIC-14 package?
With RθJA = 77.1 °C/W, NCV2574DW-ADJR2 dissipates up to 1.2 W before reaching 125°C junction temperature at 50°C ambient. At 0.5-A load and 12-V output from 24-V input, typical dissipation is ~0.6 W - well within safe limits. For >1 W dissipation, add copper pour under exposed pad (if present) or use forced airflow per JEDEC JESD51-7 guidelines.
