Product details
Overview
NCV5661MN28T2G from onsemi is an automotive-grade, fixed-output 2.8 V, 1.0 A low-dropout linear regulator in a thermally robust DFN6 3×3.3 mm package. It delivers ultra-fast load transient response (1–3 µs settling), 26 µVrms output noise without bypass capacitor, and low ground current (≤3.0 mA at full load), enabling stable power for ASIC core supplies and post-regulation in networking equipment.
For engineers reviewing the NCV5661MN28T2G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include dropout voltage ≤1.3 V at 1.0 A, AEC-Q100 qualification, Error Flag functionality, and thermal performance with RθJA = 82°C/W on 1 in² copper.
Technical Context
The NCV5661MN28T2G implements a precision 0.9 V internal reference with feedback loop architecture optimized for fast transient recovery-critical for powering digital loads with dynamic current demands. Its fixed 2.8 V output eliminates external resistor networks while retaining Enable control and Error Flag monitoring.
Thermal protection triggers at 160°C, and current limiting clamps peak output to 1.5 A. The device operates across −40°C to +150°C junction temperature and supports input voltages from 2.0 V to 9.0 V, with ripple rejection >65 dB at 1 kHz and >70 dB at 120 Hz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.8 V ±2% over −40°C to +150°C; enables direct replacement of adjustable LDOs in space-constrained designs. |
| Max Output Current | 1.0 A continuous; sufficient for FPGA I/O banks or microcontroller subsystems without derating at TJ ≤ 125°C. |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.0 V typical at 1.0 A (VIN − VOUT ≥ 1.5 V); allows operation with only 4.3 V input for 2.8 V rail. |
| Ground Current | ≤3.0 mA at 1.0 A load; independent of output current-reduces system quiescent power in always-on modules. |
| Noise (10 Hz–100 kHz) | 26 µVrms; meets low-noise requirements for analog sensor interfaces without requiring external bypass capacitors. |
| Error Flag Threshold | 88% of nominal VOUT (2.46 V); provides early warning of undervoltage before functional failure in safety-critical systems. |
| PSRR | >65 dB at 1 kHz; suppresses switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters in hybrid power architectures. |
| Enable Threshold | VEN(HI) = 1.3 V min; compatible with 1.8 V and 3.3 V logic families without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
NCV5661MN28T2G uses a Pb-free DFN6 (3.0 × 3.3 mm, 0.95 mm pitch) package with exposed thermal pad (EPAD) for enhanced heat dissipation. RθJA = 82°C/W on 1 in² copper; RθJL = 18°C/W to lead 2.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (EN) | Enable Input | Active-high logic control: tie to VIN for always-on operation; pull to GND to disable regulator and reduce IQDS to ≤300 µA. |
| 2 (VIN) | Input Supply | Accepts 2.0–9.0 V; requires 150 µF OSCON input capacitor with ≤50 mΩ ESR for optimal transient immunity. |
| 3 (GND) | Power Ground | Common return path for input/output currents and thermal pad connection; must be low-impedance plane. |
| 4 (VOUT) | Regulated Output | Delivers fixed 2.8 V ±2%; stability guaranteed with COUT ≥ 10 µF and ESR < 300 mΩ (electrolytic) or ceramic. |
| 5 (EF) | Error Flag Output | Open-drain output pulled high externally (100 kΩ to VIN); asserts low when VOUT < 2.46 V (88% of 2.8 V). |
| 6 (EPAD) | Thermal Pad | Internally connected to GND; soldered to PCB copper area for thermal conduction-mandatory for rated 1.0 A operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-fast transient response | 1–3 µs settling time enables reliable power delivery to burst-mode processors and high-speed SerDes without undershoot. |
| Low-noise operation | 26 µVrms output noise without bypass capacitor simplifies layout and reduces BOM count in noise-sensitive analog subsystems. |
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Qualified per Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C ambient) and PPAP-capable-meets automotive infotainment and ADAS module requirements. |
| Error Flag with blanking | 50 µs blanking time prevents false triggering during startup or load transients; supports fault logging and system-level diagnostics. |
| Thermally robust DFN6 | RθJL = 18°C/W to lead 2 enables 1.0 A operation with minimal PCB copper-ideal for compact industrial controllers. |
| Low ground current | 3.0 mA max at full load and 300 µA in shutdown-extends battery life in always-on telematics and gateway modules. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NCV5661MN30T2G | Fixed 3.0 V output; identical package, pinout, and specs except VOUT and EF threshold (88% of 3.0 V = 2.64 V). | Suitable where system requires 3.0 V logic interface instead of 2.8 V; no PCB change needed. | Select when migrating to 3.0 V I/O standards or replacing legacy 3.0 V regulators with same thermal profile. |
| TLD1124-1EP | 2.4 V fixed output, 1.2 A, AEC-Q100 Grade 0 (−40°C to +150°C), but lacks Error Flag and has higher ground current (5 mA). | Better suited for high-temp engine bay applications; not drop-in due to different VOUT, no EF pin, and larger dropout (1.5 V @ 1.2 A). | Choose only if 2.4 V rail is acceptable and extended temperature range outweighs loss of fault monitoring capability. |
Compared with NCV5661MN28T2G, NCV5661MN30T2G offers seamless 3.0 V compatibility with identical footprint and diagnostics, while TLD1124-1EP trades away error reporting and noise performance for wider temperature tolerance-making it a functional alternative only in non-diagnostic, high-temp contexts.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCV5661MN28T2G?
The NCV5661MN28T2G has an absolute maximum input voltage (VIN) of 18 V, but its recommended operating range is 2.0 V to 9.0 V per electrical characteristics. Exceeding 9.0 V may degrade output accuracy and increase ground current beyond spec limits, though the device remains protected up to 18 V by internal clamp structures.
Does the NCV5661MN28T2G require an external bypass capacitor for low-noise operation?
No-the NCV5661MN28T2G achieves 26 µVrms output noise (10 Hz–100 kHz) without any external bypass capacitor, thanks to its internal architecture and 0.9 V reference design. This eliminates a common BOM item and saves PCB space in noise-sensitive applications like audio codecs or ADC references.
How does the Error Flag pin on the NCV5661MN28T2G behave during startup?
The NCV5661MN28T2G incorporates a 50 µs Error Flag blanking time after enable assertion, preventing false low assertions during initial output ramp-up. Once settled, the EF pin remains high until VOUT drops below 2.46 V (88% of 2.8 V), then pulls low with <200 mV saturation voltage at 1.0 mA sink current.
Can the NCV5661MN28T2G be used in a 1.8 V input system?
No-the NCV5661MN28T2G requires a minimum input voltage of 2.0 V to maintain regulation. With a 2.8 V output, the minimum valid input is 2.0 V + VDO ≈ 3.0 V (typical dropout). At 1.8 V input, the device cannot regulate and will enter dropout or shut down depending on EN state and internal bias conditions.
What thermal performance can be expected from the NCV5661MN28T2G in a standard 4-layer PCB?
On a standard 4-layer board with 1 in² (645 mm²) of 1 oz copper connected to the EPAD, the NCV5661MN28T2G achieves RθJA = 82°C/W. At 1.0 A load with 1.0 V dropout (1.0 W dissipation), junction-to-ambient rise is ~82°C-allowing safe operation up to +68°C ambient while maintaining TJ ≤ 150°C.
