Product details
Overview
NCV303LSN28T1G from onsemi is an automotive-grade ultra-low-current voltage detector IC with open-drain active-low reset output, 2.8 V ±3% detection threshold (−40°C to +125°C), 0.5 µA typical quiescent current, and externally programmable delay via capacitor on CD pin. It serves as a precision reset controller in battery-powered microprocessor systems requiring AEC-Q100 compliance and extended runtime.
For engineers reviewing the NCV303LSN28T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, real-world use cases in automotive power monitoring, and confirmed alternative options for reset supervision in harsh-temperature embedded designs.
Technical Context
The NCV303LSN28T1G implements a precision undervoltage detector with hysteresis (84 mV typ) and an internal N-channel MOSFET switch that discharges an external timing capacitor (CD pin) upon threshold breach. Its open-drain output requires an external pull-up and supports sink currents up to 3.5 mA at VOUT = 0.5 V (Vin = 1.5 V).
It operates across 0.8 V to 10 V input range, features a delay pull-up resistance of 1.0 MΩ (typ) on Pin 5, and maintains detection accuracy over −40°C to +125°C - validated for automotive applications per AEC-Q100. The 'NCV' prefix confirms automotive qualification and PPAP capability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Detection Threshold | 2.8 V nominal, ±3% over −40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable reset assertion during brown-out in automotive ECUs. |
| Quiescent Current | 0.5 µA typical at Vin = 2.8 V - enables multi-year battery life in always-on vehicle modules. |
| Output Type | Open-drain N-channel, active-low - allows flexible voltage-level translation and wired-OR reset bus implementation. |
| Hysteresis | 0.14 V typical - prevents oscillatory reset toggling near threshold during slow-ramping supply recovery. |
| Delay Capacitor Interface | Pin 5 (CD) with 1.0 MΩ internal pull-up - enables user-programmable reset timeout (e.g., 100 ms to 10 s) using standard ceramic capacitors. |
| Operating Voltage Range | 0.8 V to 10 V - supports direct monitoring of Li-ion, 3.3 V, 5 V, and 9 V automotive rails without external regulators. |

Pinout & Package
NCV303LSN28T1G is housed in a TSOP-5 (SOT-23-5) package with wettable flanks, optimized for automated optical inspection and high-reliability automotive assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Reset Output | Open-drain N-channel output | Sinks reset signal to GND when Vin < VDET−; requires external pull-up for logic-high state. |
| 2 - Input | Voltage sense input | Monitors supply rail; triggers detection when voltage falls below 2.8 V threshold with hysteresis. |
| 3 - NC | No connect | Internally unconnected; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practices. |
| 4 - GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for detector core and output stage; requires low-impedance PCB connection. |
| 5 - CD | Capacitor delay control | Charges/discharges external timing capacitor; sets reset deassertion delay via RC time constant. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage detector applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV803EC28DBVR | 2.8 V fixed threshold, 0.8 µA IQ, SOT-23-5, no programmable delay - uses internal timer only. | Lacks external capacitor-based delay tuning; suitable only for fixed-time reset needs. | Choose when design requires lowest possible BOM count and delay tolerance > ±20% is acceptable. |
| MAX6373XS28+T | 2.8 V threshold, 1.5 µA IQ, SO-8, integrated 200 ms delay - no external capacitor required. | Fixed delay and larger footprint; not AEC-Q100 qualified. | Prefer for non-automotive industrial controls where space permits and qualification is not mandated. |

FAQ
What is the detection threshold accuracy of the NCV303LSN28T1G over temperature?
The NCV303LSN28T1G has a nominal detection threshold of 2.8 V with ±3% tolerance over the full −40°C to +125°C operating range, as specified in Table 3 of the datasheet. This accuracy is guaranteed for all voltage options ≥1.2 V and applies to the NCV303LSN28T1G variant specifically - enabling reliable brown-out detection in automotive under-hood environments.
Does the NCV303LSN28T1G require an external pull-up resistor on the reset output?
Yes, the NCV303LSN28T1G features an open-drain N-channel output (Pin 1), which requires an external pull-up resistor to the target logic rail (e.g., 3.3 V or 5 V). The datasheet recommends values between 10 kΩ and 100 kΩ depending on rise time and bus loading requirements - no internal pull-up is present.
How is the reset delay time programmed on the NCV303LSN28T1G?
The reset delay time is programmed using an external capacitor connected between Pin 5 (CD) and GND. The internal 1.0 MΩ (typ) pull-up resistor forms an RC network; delay duration follows tD2 ≈ RD × CD. For example, a 100 nF capacitor yields ~100 ms delay - curves in Figures 30–32 provide exact timing vs. capacitance at 25°C.
Is the NCV303LSN28T1G pin-compatible with other NCP303 variants?
Yes, all NCP303/NCV303 variants in TSOP-5/SOT-23-5 package share identical pinout and footprint. The NCV303LSN28T1G is mechanically and electrically compatible with NCV303LSN30T1G, NCP303LSN27T1G, etc., allowing drop-in replacement when adjusting detection threshold - provided system-level timing and hysteresis requirements remain satisfied.
What is the maximum sink current capability of the NCV303LSN28T1G reset output?
The NCV303LSN28T1G reset output can sink up to 3.5 mA when VOUT = 0.5 V and Vin = 1.5 V (per Table 3, Note 20), and 1.0 mA when VOUT = 0.05 V and Vin = 0.7 V. This supports direct interfacing with most microcontroller reset inputs and small-signal logic gates without additional buffering.
