Product details
Overview
NCV317LBZG 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 programmable output range, internal thermal overload protection, and short-circuit current limiting - used in automotive body control modules for stable low-power bias supply generation.
For engineers reviewing the NCV317LBZG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified package mapping (TO-92), confirmed electrical specs (VREF = 1.25 V, IADJ = 50–100 μA, RLINE ≤ 0.07 %/V), and automotive-grade qualification details critical for AEC-Q100-compliant designs.
Technical Context
The NCV317LBZG implements a bandgap reference-based feedback loop with adjustable output via two external resistors, enabling precise voltage setting without trimming. Its floating operation supports high-side regulation and input-to-output differential up to 40 V.
It integrates safe-area compensation for the output transistor, thermal shutdown triggered at TJ ≥ +150 °C (typical), and current limiting that holds IO ≤ 200 mA under short-circuit conditions while maintaining stability across 0 °C to +125 °C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 100 mA continuous (200 mA peak); sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and interface ICs in automotive sub-systems. |
| Reference Voltage | 1.25 V ±50 mV; sets minimum output voltage and defines resistor-divider ratio accuracy for target VOUT. |
| Line Regulation | ≤ 0.07 %/V (VI−VO = 3–40 V); ensures stable output despite battery voltage fluctuations in vehicle systems. |
| Load Regulation | ≤ 70 mV (10–100 mA, VOUT ≤ 5 V); maintains tight voltage tolerance under dynamic load changes typical in ECU peripherals. |
| Adjust Pin Current | 50–100 μA; enables use of high-value resistor dividers to minimize quiescent current in always-on circuits. |
| Thermal Shutdown Threshold | ≥ +150 °C junction temperature; protects device during sustained overload or poor heatsinking in enclosed modules. |
| Ripple Rejection | 66–80 dB (120 Hz, with 10 μF CADJ); suppresses alternator ripple and switching noise in automotive power rails. |
Pinout & Package
NCV317LBZG is housed in a TO-92 plastic package with straight leads, rated for operation from −40 °C to +125 °C ambient and qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Adj | Feedback reference node | Connects to resistor divider midpoint; senses 1.25 V reference to regulate output; low IADJ minimizes divider error. |
| 2 - Output | Regulated voltage source | Delivers stabilized output; requires local 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor for high-frequency stability per datasheet recommendation. |
| 3 - Input | Unregulated DC input | Accepts 2.5 V to 40 V input; must maintain ≥3 V headroom above VOUT for regulation; bypassed with ≥10 μF electrolytic. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (−40 °C to +125 °C ambient); validated for under-hood and body electronics deployment. |
| Internal short-circuit protection | Limits output current to ≤200 mA during fault; prevents catastrophic failure and enables auto-recovery after fault removal. |
| Thermal overload protection | Shuts down output when junction exceeds ~150 °C; resumes operation after cooldown - no latch-up or manual reset required. |
| Output transistor safe-area compensation | Prevents secondary breakdown during transient overloads; allows reliable operation even with marginal heatsinking in space-constrained modules. |
| Floating operation capability | Enables high-side configuration (e.g., reverse-battery protection circuits) without requiring ground-referenced input. |
Applications
| Body Control Module Power | Instrument Cluster Bias 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 | Commercial-grade (0 °C to +125 °C), non-AEC-Q100; identical pinout, same electrical specs except TJ max = +125 °C (not junction-limited shutdown). | Not qualified for automotive use; suitable only for industrial or consumer applications where temperature and reliability requirements are less stringent. | Select LM317LZ only for non-automotive designs; NCV317LBZG is mandatory for AEC-Q100-compliant systems. |
| TLV1117-33CDCYR | Fixed 3.3 V output, SOT-223 package, lower dropout (1.2 V), higher PSRR (70 dB @ 1 kHz), but no adjustability and 800 mA output. | Used where fixed voltage and higher current are needed; lacks programmability and TO-92 form factor for legacy board compatibility. | Choose TLV1117-33CDCYR for new designs needing 3.3 V at >100 mA; retain NCV317LBZG when adjustable output or TO-92 footprint is required. |
Compared with LM317LZ and TLV1117-33CDCYR, the NCV317LBZG uniquely combines AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, TO-92 through-hole compatibility, and full 1.2–37 V adjustability - making it the only option for retrofitting or upgrading legacy automotive linear regulator positions requiring qualification and flexibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum input-output voltage differential supported by the NCV317LBZG?
The NCV317LBZG supports a maximum input-output voltage differential of 40 V, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings. This allows operation with input voltages up to 40 V above the set output voltage - essential for handling load-dump transients in automotive 12 V systems. The NCV317LBZG maintains regulation and protection functionality within this limit, provided power dissipation remains within safe operating area.
Does the NCV317LBZG require an output capacitor for stability?
Yes, the NCV317LBZG requires a minimum 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor at the output pin to ensure high-frequency stability and prevent oscillation. This is explicitly recommended in the ON Semiconductor datasheet. Larger values (e.g., 1–10 μF) improve transient response and ripple suppression but do not replace the mandatory ceramic capacitor. The NCV317LBZG will not operate reliably without proper output capacitance.
Is the NCV317LBZG pin-compatible with standard LM317L variants?
Yes, the NCV317LBZG uses the same TO-92 package and identical pinout (Pin 1 = Adj, Pin 2 = Output, Pin 3 = Input) as LM317LZ and other LM317L family members. This enables direct mechanical and electrical replacement in existing designs - provided the application requires automotive qualification, which the NCV317LBZG provides and standard LM317L parts do not.
What is the minimum load current required for regulation in the NCV317LBZG?
The NCV317LBZG requires a minimum load current of 3.5 mA to 10 mA (depending on input-output differential) to maintain regulation, as specified in its Electrical Characteristics table under IL(MIN). This ensures the internal reference and pass transistor remain biased correctly. Below this threshold, output voltage may drift or regulation may be lost - a key design consideration for ultra-low-power standby circuits using the NCV317LBZG.
How does the NCV317LBZG handle thermal overload conditions?
The NCV317LBZG features internal thermal overload protection that disables the output when junction temperature exceeds approximately +150 °C. It automatically recovers once the die cools below the hysteresis threshold (~135 °C), with no latch-up or external reset required. This behavior is fully characterized and guaranteed across the −40 °C to +125 °C ambient range, making the NCV317LBZG suitable for unventilated automotive enclosures where thermal margin is limited.
