Product details
Overview
NCV317LBDG from ON Semiconductor is a 3-terminal, adjustable positive-voltage linear regulator delivering up to 100 mA output current with 1.2 V to 37 V adjustable output range, internal thermal overload protection, and short-circuit current limiting-used in automotive power supplies requiring AEC-Q100 qualification.
For engineers reviewing the NCV317LBDG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified package mapping (TO-92), confirmed electrical parameters (VREF = 1.25 V, IADJ = 50–100 µA, line regulation ≤ 0.07 %/V), thermal performance (TJ = −40°C to +125°C), and automotive-grade reliability context.
Technical Context
The NCV317LBDG implements a bandgap-referenced error amplifier driving an NPN pass transistor, with integrated safe-area compensation and current-limit foldback. Its floating operation supports high-side or series-pass configurations in systems where input voltage exceeds ground-referenced control logic.
Designed for automotive environments, it features guaranteed operation across −40°C to +125°C junction temperature, meets AEC-Q100 Grade 1 stress testing, and includes internal thermal shutdown triggered at TJ ≥ 160°C with hysteresis for recovery.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 100 mA max - sufficient for biasing sensors, microcontrollers, and analog circuitry without external boost |
| Reference Voltage | 1.25 V ±50 mV - sets precision of output adjustment via R1/R2 divider; enables stable 3.3 V, 5 V, or custom rails |
| Line Regulation | ≤ 0.07 %/V - maintains output stability despite automotive battery fluctuations (9 V–16 V nominal, up to 40 V transients) |
| Load Regulation | ≤ 70 mV (VO ≤ 5 V) - ensures consistent voltage under dynamic load steps typical in ECU subsystems |
| Junction Temp Range | −40°C to +125°C - validated for under-hood placement per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements |
| Ripple Rejection | 65 dB (no CADJ), 80 dB (with 10 µF CADJ) - suppresses alternator ripple and switching noise in mixed-signal domains |
| Adjust Pin Current | 50–100 µA - enables high-resistance feedback networks minimizing quiescent current in always-on modules |
Pinout & Package
NCV317LBDG is housed in a 3-lead TO-92 plastic package with straight leads (JEDEC TO-92 variant), rated for 625 mW power dissipation at TA = 25°C and designed for through-hole mounting on automotive PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Adjust (Adj) | Reference node for feedback network | Connects to voltage divider midpoint; 50–100 µA bias current flows here-must be isolated from noisy nodes |
| 2 - Output (Out) | Regulated output terminal | Delivers stabilized voltage; requires local 1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor for stability and transient response |
| 3 - Input (In) | Unregulated input supply connection | Accepts 2.5 V to 40 V differential; must include ≥10 µF bulk capacitance to handle load dump transients |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified - validated for use in engine control, body electronics, and ADAS power domains |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Triggers at TJ ≥ 160°C and resets ~15°C below - prevents latch-up during sustained overload or poor heatsinking |
| Safe operating area (SOA) compensation | Internal circuitry limits power dissipation vs. VIN–VOUT - eliminates need for external SOA protection in most automotive loads |
| Low adjustment pin current | 50–100 µA - allows >100 kΩ feedback resistors, reducing divider power loss in battery-backed modules |
| Floating operation capability | Supports high-side configuration - enables use as current source or negative regulator when referenced to non-ground potential |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) Sensor Bias | Body Control Module (BCM) Microcontroller Supply |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar adjustable positive linear regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM317LZ | Non-automotive grade; rated for 0°C to +125°C only; no AEC-Q100 qualification; same TO-92 package and pinout | Intended for commercial/industrial use; not validated for automotive vibration, temperature cycling, or HTOL stress | Select LM317LZ only for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where AEC-Q100 compliance is unnecessary |
| TLV1117LV33 | Fixed 3.3 V output; 800 mA output current; SOT-223 package; lower dropout (600 mV); no adjustable option | Used where fixed low-voltage rail and higher current are required; incompatible for adjustable-output or TO-92 footprint designs | Choose TLV1117LV33 only when fixed 3.3 V and >100 mA are needed-and board layout allows SOT-223 replacement |
Compared with LM317LZ and TLV1117LV33, the NCV317LBDG uniquely combines automotive qualification, adjustable output, TO-92 compatibility, and proven thermal robustness for under-hood deployment-making it irreplaceable in AEC-Q100-compliant adjustable-regulator roles.

FAQ
What is the maximum input-to-output voltage differential supported by the NCV317LBDG?
The NCV317LBDG supports a maximum input-output voltage differential (VIN − VOUT) of 40 V. This rating enables operation across full automotive battery transients-including load dump events-while maintaining regulation. The device must be operated within its power dissipation limit (PD ≤ 625 mW at TA = 25°C), so higher differentials require derating based on ambient temperature and heatsinking. This specification is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the official NCV317LBDG datasheet.
Does the NCV317LBDG require an output capacitor for stability?
Yes, the NCV317LBDG requires a minimum 1 µF ceramic capacitor at the output pin for stability and transient response. The datasheet specifies that a 1 µF X7R or better dielectric is recommended, placed as close as possible to the output and ground pins. Omitting this capacitor may cause oscillation or poor load-step recovery. This requirement applies regardless of whether the device is used in fixed or adjustable configurations-and is distinct from the optional 10 µF capacitor on the adjust pin used to improve ripple rejection. The NCV317LBDG's internal compensation relies on this external output capacitance.
Is the NCV317LBDG pin-compatible with standard LM317L variants?
Yes, the NCV317LBDG is pin-compatible with LM317LZ and LM317LZX in the TO-92 package: Pin 1 is Adjust, Pin 2 is Output, and Pin 3 is Input. However, it is not pin-compatible with SOIC-packaged variants (e.g., LM317LM) due to differing pin counts and layouts. While mechanical and electrical pinout matches the TO-92 family, users must verify PCB footprint tolerances-NCV317LBDG uses the standard TO-92 straight-lead form factor defined in JEDEC TO-92. No PCB changes are required when replacing LM317LZ with NCV317LBDG in existing automotive designs.
What is the typical adjustment pin current (IADJ) for the NCV317LBDG, and why does it matter?
The typical adjustment pin current (IADJ) for the NCV317LBDG is 75 µA, with a guaranteed range of 50–100 µA across temperature and process. This low, stable current enables high-value feedback resistors (e.g., 2.4 kΩ + 3.9 kΩ for 5 V), minimizing power loss in always-on circuits like vehicle security modules. Because IADJ flows through the lower resistor (R1), accurate output voltage calculation must include its contribution: VOUT = 1.25 V × (1 + R2/R1) + IADJ × R2. Ignoring IADJ introduces error-especially with R2 > 10 kΩ-so the NCV317LBDG's tightly specified IADJ improves design predictability.
How does the NCV317LBDG handle short-circuit conditions?
The NCV317LBDG incorporates internal short-circuit current limiting with foldback characteristics: output current is limited to approximately 50–100 mA under short-circuit, decreasing further as input-output differential increases. Combined with thermal shutdown (triggering at ~160°C junction temperature), this protects the device during sustained faults such as solder bridges or wiring errors. Unlike basic current limiting, the foldback reduces power dissipation during shorts-preventing thermal runaway. This behavior is inherent to the IC's architecture and requires no external components. The NCV317LBDG will automatically recover once fault and temperature normalize, making it suitable for unattended automotive subsystems.
