Product details
Overview
NCV4274ADT33RKG from onsemi is an automotive-grade, 2% accurate, 3.3 V fixed-output linear voltage regulator in DPAK package, delivering up to 400 mA output current with 500 mV max dropout at 250 mA, 150 µA quiescent current at 1 mA load, and AEC-Q100 qualification - used for powering microcontrollers and sensors in engine control units and body electronics.
For engineers reviewing the NCV4274ADT33RKG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include ±2% output accuracy over −40°C to +150°C, reverse-battery and load-dump transient tolerance (−42 V / +60 V), thermal shutdown at 165–210°C, and low-quiescent-current operation in battery-sensitive systems.
Technical Context
The NCV4274ADT33RKG employs a PNP pass transistor architecture with precision bandgap reference and error amplifier feedback, enabling stable regulation under low-input-voltage conditions via saturation control. Its design integrates internal current limiting, thermal overload protection, and fault signaling through safe operating area monitoring.
It operates across input voltages from 4.5 V to 40 V, supports output capacitor ESR ranges down to 0.1 Ω (for 2.5 V version) or 2.5 Ω (for 3.3 V/5.0 V/8.5 V versions), and maintains stability with ≥2.2 µF ceramic or electrolytic output capacitance - critical for automotive cold-crank and load-dump immunity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.3 V ±2% (guaranteed over −40°C to +150°C junction temperature) |
| Max Output Current | 400 mA - sufficient to power dual-core automotive MCUs or multiple CAN transceivers |
| Dropout Voltage | ≤500 mV at 250 mA load - enables operation during 6 V cold-crank battery conditions |
| Quiescent Current | 150 µA at 1 mA load - minimizes standby power loss in always-on vehicle modules |
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 40 V - covers full automotive battery range including 24 V commercial vehicles |
| Fault Protection | Reverse-battery (−42 V), load dump (+60 V), short-circuit, and thermal shutdown - meets ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a requirements |
| Thermal Shutdown | 165°C to 210°C (design-guaranteed) - prevents die damage during sustained overload |
Pinout & Package
DPAK (TO-252-3) package: thermally enhanced surface-mount outline with exposed tab (pin 2/4) for PCB heat sinking; footprint compatible with JEDEC MS-012AC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Input) | Regulator input supply | Connect directly to bulk input capacitor (≥100 nF ceramic) to suppress high-frequency noise and line transients |
| 2,4 (Ground) | Power ground return path | Exposed tab serves as primary thermal and electrical ground - must be soldered to ≥5 mm² copper pour for RθJA ≤70°C/W |
| 3 (Output) | Regulated 3.3 V output | Requires ≥10 µF output capacitor (low-ESR aluminum or ceramic) for load-transient stability and startup delay control |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified | Validated for −40°C to +125°C ambient (150°C junction), supporting under-hood deployment without derating |
| Pb-free and RoHS compliant | Meets J-STD-020C MSL1 reflow profile (peak 265°C), suitable for lead-free SMT assembly |
| Load-dump survivability | Withstands +60 V transients per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a - eliminates need for external TVS in most ECU designs |
| Reverse-battery protection | Operates safely at −42 V input - prevents latch-up and gate oxide damage during battery misconnection |
| Low-temperature stability | Maintains ±2% output accuracy down to −40°C - enables reliable cold-start operation in northern climates |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Body Control Module (BCM) |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Powers 32-bit ARM-based MCU, CAN FD transceiver, and analog sensor interface in gasoline/diesel engine management system. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary 3.3 V domain regulator supplying core logic, communication peripherals, and ADC reference. Use Value: 500 mV dropout ensures uninterrupted operation during 6–7 V cold-crank events; ±2% accuracy guarantees consistent ADC conversion and PWM timing. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: System-level 3.3 V rail generator with watchdog reset coordination and wake-up signal conditioning. Use Value: 150 µA quiescent current extends battery life during 14-day sleep mode; −42 V reverse-battery tolerance prevents field returns from service errors. |
| Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) Camera ECU | Telematics Control Unit (TCU) |
Use Scenario: Provides clean 3.3 V bias to image signal processor (ISP), MIPI CSI-2 serializer, and real-time clock in front-facing ADAS camera.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Always-on power source maintaining RTC, secure boot, and cellular keep-alive functions during ignition-off states. Use Value: Guaranteed operation at 125°C ambient enables placement near LTE power amplifier; +60 V load-dump rating avoids external clamping diodes. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar linear regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NCV8664DT33RKG | 3.3 V ±2%, 500 mA output, 450 mV dropout at 250 mA, higher IQ (250 µA @ 1 mA) | Higher current capability but less optimized for ultra-low-IQ sleep modes | Select when >400 mA peak load or lower dropout is required; verify thermal margin with RθJA = 65°C/W (DPAK) |
| TLE4274G33 | 3.3 V ±2%, 400 mA, 600 mV dropout at 250 mA, no reverse-battery protection | Lacks −42 V reverse-battery rating - requires external protection diode | Choose only in cost-sensitive non-safety-critical modules where reverse-battery risk is mitigated externally |
Compared with NCV4274ADT33RKG, NCV8664DT33RKG offers higher output current but increased quiescent draw, while TLE4274G33 lacks integrated reverse-battery protection - making NCV4274ADT33RKG the optimal choice for robust, drop-in replacement in AEC-Q100-compliant ECUs requiring full fault coverage.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for NCV4274ADT33RKG?
The NCV4274ADT33RKG has an absolute maximum input voltage of 45 V, with continuous operating input voltage specified from 4.5 V to 40 V. It withstands transient peaks up to +60 V relative to ground per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a, making it suitable for 12 V and 24 V automotive systems with load-dump events.
Does NCV4274ADT33RKG require an external capacitor on the input pin?
Yes, the NCV4274ADT33RKG requires a minimum 100 nF ceramic capacitor placed directly between pin 1 (Input) and pins 2/4 (Ground). This input capacitor stabilizes the regulator against line reactance and damps potential oscillations caused by PCB trace inductance - omission risks instability during fast load transients.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of NCV4274ADT33RKG in its DPAK package?
The NCV4274ADT33RKG in DPAK (Case 369C) has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 70°C/W when mounted on a minimal footprint FR4 board with standard copper layers. Achieving this value requires soldering the exposed tab (pins 2/4) to ≥5 mm² of 1 oz copper to ensure effective heat conduction away from the die.
Can NCV4274ADT33RKG operate with a 2.2 µF output capacitor?
Yes, the NCV4274ADT33RKG guarantees stability with a 2.2 µF output capacitor and ESR ≤2.5 Ω across its operating temperature range. The datasheet confirms stable operation at this minimum value for 3.3 V, 5.0 V, and 8.5 V versions - though 10 µF is recommended for improved load-transient response in automotive applications.
Is NCV4274ADT33RKG pin-compatible with other NCV4274 variants in DPAK?
Yes, all NCV4274x DTxxRKG variants (e.g., NCV4274ADT50RKG, NCV4274DT33RKG) share identical DPAK-3 pinout: pin 1 = Input, pins 2/4 = Ground, pin 3 = Output. Voltage accuracy (±2% vs ±4%) and output voltage (3.3 V, 5.0 V, etc.) are the only functional differences - enabling direct substitution within same-voltage families.
