Product details
Overview
NCV317BD2TG from onsemi is an automotive-grade adjustable positive voltage regulator delivering up to 1.5 A across 1.2 V to 37 V output range, featuring internal thermal shutdown, current limiting, and safe-area compensation. It operates in floating configuration for high-voltage applications and requires only two external resistors for output programming - used in engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the NCV317BD2TG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include its −55°C to +150°C operating junction temperature, D2PAK−3 package with heatsink-connected pin 2, 1.25 V reference voltage tolerance (±0.05 V), and AEC−Q100 qualification for automotive systems requiring robust overtemperature and short-circuit resilience.
Technical Context
The NCV317BD2TG implements a floating 3-terminal linear regulator architecture with a precision 1.25 V bandgap reference between output and adjust terminals. Its feedback loop uses constant-current programming via R1–R2 divider, where IAdj is tightly controlled below 100 µA to minimize error contribution.
Thermal protection triggers at 180°C junction temperature, and safe-area compensation dynamically adjusts biasing under high power dissipation to prevent second breakdown. The device supports both local regulation and precision current regulation modes by grounding R2 or connecting it to load return.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 1.5 A maximum - sufficient to power microcontrollers, sensors, and analog front-ends in automotive ECUs without external pass transistors. |
| Output Voltage Range | 1.2 V to 37 V - programmable via resistor divider; enables single-part support for multiple rail voltages (e.g., 3.3 V, 5 V, 12 V) in vehicle subsystems. |
| Reference Voltage | 1.25 V (typ), ±0.05 V (min/max) - defines regulation accuracy baseline; directly impacts output tolerance when using standard 1% resistors. |
| Line Regulation | 0.01–0.04 %/V - ensures stable output despite battery voltage fluctuations (9 V–16 V nominal, up to 36 V during load dump). |
| Load Regulation | 5 mV (VO ≤ 5 V) or 0.5 % VO (VO ≥ 5 V) - maintains tight voltage control across full load range, critical for ADC reference stability. |
| Junction Temp Range | −55°C to +150°C - meets AEC−Q100 Grade 0 requirements for under-hood and transmission-control applications. |
| Ripple Rejection | 66 dB (no CAdj), 80 dB (with 10 µF CAdj) at 120 Hz - suppresses alternator ripple and switching noise in mixed-signal automotive modules. |
Pinout & Package
D2PAK−3 (Case 936) surface-mount package with exposed heatsink tab electrically connected to Pin 2 (VOUT). Requires minimum 5.08 mm × 5.08 mm copper pad for thermal performance; heatsink surface must be soldered to PCB ground plane or dedicated thermal layer.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Adjust | Reference node input | Connects to voltage divider midpoint; senses 1.25 V reference; low IAdj (≤100 µA) minimizes divider current error. |
| 2 - VOUT | Regulated output terminal | Primary power delivery node; also connects to heatsink tab - must be routed with low-impedance trace and adequate copper area for thermal management. |
| 3 - VIN | Unregulated input supply | Accepts 2.5 V to 40 V differential; requires 0.1 µF ceramic input bypass capacitor placed within 5 mm of pin for EMI suppression. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automotive qualification | AEC−Q100 Grade 0 qualified and PPAP capable - validated for production use in safety-critical vehicle systems. |
| Thermal shutdown | 180°C trip point with hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking in confined enclosures. |
| Safe-area compensation | Integrated circuit-level protection against secondary breakdown - enables reliable operation at high VIN–VOUT differentials (up to 40 V) without external SOA limiting. |
| Adjust pin current control | IAdj ≤ 100 µA, ΔIAdj ≤ 5 µA over full operating range - allows use of high-value resistors (e.g., 240 Ω / 1.65 kΩ) without significant output error. |
| Floating operation | No ground reference required - supports high-side regulation, battery monitoring circuits, and negative-input configurations (e.g., reverse-battery protection interfaces). |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) Power Supply | ADAS Camera Module Bias |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar adjustable positive voltage regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM317BD2TG | Same pinout and electrical specs, but −40°C to +125°C rating (not AEC−Q100 qualified); no PPAP support. | Suitable for industrial or commercial systems without automotive qualification mandates. | Select LM317BD2TG only if AEC−Q100 compliance and extended temperature validation are not required. |
| TLV1117-33CDR | Fixed 3.3 V output, 800 mA max, SOT-223 package; lower dropout (1.2 V), no adjust pin. | Limited to single-rail applications; lacks programmability and current capability for multi-voltage designs. | Choose TLV1117-33CDR only when fixed 3.3 V output and compact footprint outweigh need for adjustability and 1.5 A drive. |
Compared with LM317BD2TG, the NCV317BD2TG adds automotive qualification and extended temperature margin at identical cost and layout; versus TLV1117-33CDR, it trades fixed-output simplicity for full programmability and higher current, enabling fewer SKUs across diverse vehicle subsystems.

FAQ
What is the maximum input-to-output voltage differential supported by the NCV317BD2TG?
NCV317BD2TG supports a maximum input-to-output voltage differential of 40 V DC. This rating allows operation with automotive battery inputs up to 36 V (including load dump) while regulating down to 1.2 V output. Exceeding 40 V differential risks permanent damage, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the official datasheet.
Does the NCV317BD2TG require an input bypass capacitor, and what value is recommended?
Yes, the NCV317BD2TG requires a 0.1 µF ceramic input bypass capacitor (CIN) placed within 5 mm of the VIN and GND pins. This capacitor reduces sensitivity to input line impedance and suppresses high-frequency noise from upstream sources like switching regulators or alternators - a requirement confirmed in Figure 1 and Applications Information section of the NCV317BD2TG datasheet.
How does the heatsink tab connection work on the NCV317BD2TG D2PAK−3 package?
On the NCV317BD2TG in D2PAK−3 (Case 936) package, the exposed heatsink surface is electrically connected to Pin 2 (VOUT). This means the thermal pad must be soldered to a PCB copper area tied to the regulated output net - not to system ground - to avoid shorting or violating safe operating area. Mechanical mounting to chassis ground is acceptable only if galvanically isolated.
Can the NCV317BD2TG be used as a precision current regulator, and how is it configured?
Yes, the NCV317BD2TG can be configured as a precision current regulator by connecting a fixed resistor between the Adjust and Output pins. With IAdj held below 100 µA and VREF = 1.25 V, output current equals 1.25 V / RSET. For example, a 1.25 Ω resistor delivers 1.0 A ±5% - a method explicitly detailed in Figure 26 and Applications Information section of the NCV317BD2TG datasheet.
Is the NCV317BD2TG pin-compatible with the standard LM317 in D2PAK−3 package?
Yes, the NCV317BD2TG is pin-compatible with LM317BD2TG and LM317D2TG in the D2PAK−3 package - same pin 1 (Adjust), pin 2 (VOUT), pin 3 (VIN) arrangement and mechanical outline. However, NCV317BD2TG adds automotive qualification, extended temperature range (−55°C to +150°C), and tighter long-term stability (0.3%/1kHrs), making it a drop-in replacement where AEC−Q100 compliance is required.
