Product details
Overview
NCV3064PG from onsemi is an automotive-grade monolithic switching regulator IC designed for step-down, step-up, and voltage-inverting DC-DC converter applications. It integrates a 1.5 A Darlington output switch, 150 kHz oscillator, precision 1.25 V reference (±1.5%), cycle-by-cycle current limiting, and logic-level ON/OFF shutdown control. It operates from 3.0 V to 40 V input and supports high-power LED lighting and battery charger systems.
For engineers reviewing the NCV3064PG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include its −40 °C to +125 °C operating junction temperature range, thermal shutdown at 160 °C with 10 °C hysteresis, 100 µA standby current in OFF mode, and SOIC-8 package compatibility with standard PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The NCV3064PG implements a hysteretic, gated-oscillator DC-DC controller architecture with internal comparator, temperature-compensated 1.25 V reference, and active current-limit circuitry. Its oscillator frequency (110–190 kHz) is set by an external timing capacitor (CT), and output switching is controlled via a Darlington transistor pair with collector-emitter saturation voltage ≤1.3 V at 1.0 A.
Current limiting is achieved via peak-sense voltage monitoring (VIPK = 165–235 mV) at the Ipk pin, enabling cycle-by-cycle protection. The ON/OFF pin provides TTL-compatible logic control (VIH ≥2.4 V, VIL ≤0.8 V) to disable switching and reduce supply current to ≤100 µA, while internal thermal shutdown activates at TJ = 160 °C with automatic recovery at ~150 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.0 V to 40 V - supports wide-input industrial and automotive battery systems without pre-regulation |
| Output Switch Current | 1.5 A - enables direct drive of medium-power converters without external MOSFETs in many designs |
| Oscillator Frequency | 150 kHz typical (110–190 kHz) - balances efficiency, EMI, and passive component size for cost-sensitive applications |
| Reference Voltage | 1.25 V ±1.5% - ensures tight output regulation across temperature and line variations |
| Standby Current | 100 µA max - minimizes quiescent drain in always-on automotive modules during sleep mode |
| Operating Junction Temp | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood and engine-control unit environments per AEC-Q100 requirements |
| Thermal Shutdown Threshold | 160 °C with 10 °C hysteresis - prevents catastrophic failure while allowing safe auto-recovery after transient overload |
Pinout & Package
NCV3064PG is packaged in Pb-free SOIC-8 (Case 751), with exposed pad not present. Pin 4 is GND and serves as the thermal and electrical reference for all internal circuits.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SWC) | Switch Collector | Collector of internal Darlington transistor; connects to inductor/rectifier node in buck/boost/inverting topologies |
| 2 (SWE) | Switch Emitter | Emiter of internal Darlington transistor; ties to GND in buck, to input in boost, or to output in inverting configurations |
| 3 (CT) | Timing Capacitor | Oscillator timing node; CT value sets switching frequency and controls duty-cycle ratio (typ. 6:1 charge/discharge current) |
| 4 (GND) | Ground | Common return for all internal circuits and external feedback/sense paths; must be low-impedance PCB plane |
| 5 (COMP) | Comparator Inverting Input | Feedback node for output voltage regulation; connected to resistor divider from VOUT to set regulated output |
| 6 (VCC) | Voltage Supply | Primary power input (3–40 V); powers internal bias, oscillator, and gate driver; bypass capacitor required |
| 7 (Ipk) | Peak Current Sense | Monitors voltage drop across external sense resistor (RSC) to trigger cycle-by-cycle current limit at 200 mV threshold |
| 8 (ON/OFF) | Enable/Shutdown Control | Logic-level input: HIGH ≥2.4 V enables operation; LOW ≤0.8 V or floating disables switching and reduces ICC to ≤100 µA |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automotive qualification | NCV prefix indicates AEC-Q100 compliance and enhanced process control for automotive use cases |
| Integrated Darlington switch | 1.5 A rated switch eliminates need for external transistor in many 5–24 V output designs |
| Adjustable output voltage | Regulated via external resistor divider on COMP pin - supports any output from ~1.25 V up to VCC − VSWCE |
| Cycle-by-cycle current limiting | Prevents switch overcurrent during startup, short-circuit, or overload without requiring external protection circuitry |
| Low-power shutdown mode | Reduces total system standby consumption - critical for always-on vehicle modules meeting ISO 16750-2 quiescent current limits |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar switching regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NCV3063DR2G | Lower 1.0 A switch current; identical pinout and functional block diagram; same −40 °C to +125 °C rating | Suitable only for <1 W output applications; cannot support 1.5 A peak loads without derating or external FET | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs current demand and thermal margin is sufficient for target load |
| NCP3064DR2G | Commercial-grade version (0 °C to +70 °C); otherwise identical electrical specs, pinout, and SOIC-8 footprint | Not qualified for automotive or extended-temperature industrial use; lacks NCV-specific process controls and test screening | Choose for consumer or non-safety-critical embedded systems where ambient temperature remains below 70 °C |
Compared with NCV3064PG, NCV3063DR2G offers lower cost but reduced current capability, while NCP3064DR2G provides identical performance in non-automotive environments at lower qualification cost - making NCV3064PG the sole choice for AEC-Q100-compliant designs requiring full 1.5 A output.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCV3064PG?
The NCV3064PG has an absolute maximum VCC rating of 42 V, with recommended continuous operation up to 40 V. This allows robust operation in 24 V industrial systems and 12 V automotive applications subject to load dump transients. Exceeding 42 V risks permanent damage to the internal Darlington switch and oscillator circuitry, as confirmed in the Maximum Ratings table on page 3 of the datasheet.
Does the NCV3064PG support voltage-inverting topology?
Yes, the NCV3064PG explicitly supports voltage-inverting configurations, as documented in Figure 24 and the Applications section (page 9). In this mode, the internal Darlington switch operates in common-collector configuration, with SWC tied to input, SWE to output, and GND referenced to the inverted output rail - enabling generation of negative voltages from positive inputs without additional ICs.
What is the purpose of the CT pin on the NCV3064PG?
The CT (Timing Capacitor) pin on the NCV3064PG sets the oscillator frequency and controls the duty-cycle ratio via an external capacitor. A 2.2 nF capacitor yields ~150 kHz operation; values from 1 nF to 20 nF adjust frequency between ~110 kHz and ~190 kHz. The internal 1:6 charge/discharge current ratio fixes maximum duty cycle at ~85.7%, as detailed in the Operating Description section (page 7).
How does the ON/OFF pin function in the NCV3064PG?
The ON/OFF pin on the NCV3064PG provides logic-level shutdown: pulling it to ≥2.4 V (TTL HIGH) enables normal operation, while ≤0.8 V (TTL LOW) or leaving it floating disables switching and reduces supply current to ≤100 µA. This feature enables PWM dimming control in LED drivers and ignition-synchronized power gating in automotive modules, as described in the ON/OFF Feature section (page 4).
Is thermal shutdown active in the NCV3064PG, and what is its threshold?
Yes, the NCV3064PG includes internal thermal shutdown that activates at a junction temperature of 160 °C (typical), with 10 °C hysteresis. When triggered, the output switch is disabled until junction temperature falls to ~150 °C, preventing catastrophic failure during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. This behavior is verified in the Thermal Characteristic table (page 3) and Operating Description (page 8).
