Product details
Overview
NCV5661MN30T2G from onsemi is an automotive-grade, fixed-output 3.0 V, 1.0 A ultra-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), low ground current (≤3.0 mA at 1.0 A), and 26 µVrms output noise without bypass capacitor - ideal for post-regulation in ASIC power supplies and networking equipment.
For engineers reviewing the NCV5661MN30T2G 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, thermal shutdown at 160°C, and compatibility with low-ESR ceramic output capacitors ≥10 µF.
Technical Context
The NCV5661MN30T2G integrates a 0.9 V internal reference and precision error amplifier to regulate fixed 3.0 V output with ±1% accuracy at 25°C. Its architecture supports fast transient recovery via low-output-impedance pass element and independent ground current design - maintaining 1.3–3.0 mA quiescent current across full 10 mA–1.0 A load range.
It features active Enable control (logic-high threshold ≥1.3 V), open-drain Error Flag (active-low at ≤88% of nominal VOUT, blanked for 50 µs), thermal shutdown (160°C), and internal current limiting (1.5 A peak). The device operates from 2.0 V to 9.0 V input and is qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C TJ).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.0 V ±1% at 25°C; ±1.5% over −20°C to +125°C - ensures stable core logic supply under thermal stress. |
| Max Output Current | 1.0 A continuous - sufficient for high-current FPGA I/O banks or multi-core SoC domains. |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.0 V typical, 1.3 V max at 1.0 A - enables operation with only 4.3 V input, critical for 5 V rail post-regulation. |
| Ground Current | ≤3.0 mA at 1.0 A load - minimizes system standby power loss in always-on automotive modules. |
| Noise (10 Hz–100 kHz) | 26 µVrms - eliminates need for external bypass capacitor, reducing BOM count and PCB area. |
| PSRR | ≥65 dB at 1 kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters in mixed-signal systems. |
| Error Flag Threshold | 88% of VOUT (≤2.64 V) - provides early undervoltage detection before downstream logic fails. |
Pinout & Package
NCV5661MN30T2G uses a Pb-free, thermally enhanced DFN6 (3.0 × 3.3 mm, 0.95 mm pitch) package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 6). The package supports 18°C/W junction-to-lead thermal resistance with 1 in² copper area, enabling 1.0 A operation without heatsink in ambient ≤85°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (EN) | Enable Input | Active-high digital control: ≥1.3 V enables regulation; ≤0.3 V disables output and reduces ground current to 300 µA. |
| 2 (VIN) | Input Supply | Accepts 2.0–9.0 V; requires 150 µF low-ESR OSCON input capacitor if source > few inches away. |
| 3 (GND) | Power Ground | Common return for VIN, VOUT, and thermal pad; must be connected to large copper pour for thermal performance. |
| 4 (VOUT) | Regulated Output | Delivers fixed 3.0 V; stable with ≥10 µF ceramic output capacitor (ESR < 300 mΩ). |
| 5 (EF) | Error Flag Output | Open-drain output; requires external 100 kΩ pull-up to VIN; asserts low when VOUT drops ≤2.64 V. |
| 6 (EPAD) | Thermal Pad | Internally connected to GND; must be soldered to ≥1 in² PCB copper for thermal conduction and EMI reduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-fast transient response | 1–3 µs settling time - maintains regulation during sudden 10 mA ↔ 1.0 A load steps in CPU burst modes. |
| Low-noise operation | 26 µVrms without bypass cap - simplifies layout and avoids capacitor aging/reliability concerns in automotive life cycles. |
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C TJ) - certified for engine control units, ADAS domain controllers, and infotainment power rails. |
| Integrated safety functions | Thermal shutdown (160°C), current limit (1.5 A), and Error Flag - enable fail-safe behavior without external monitoring circuitry. |
| Load-independent ground current | ≤3.0 mA up to 1.0 A - enables accurate battery-life estimation in always-on telematics modules. |
Applications
| Automotive Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Industrial PLC I/O Module |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NCV8170DS330T2G | 3.3 V fixed output, 500 mA max, DFN6 package, no Error Flag | Lacks fault reporting; lower current rating limits use to low-power MCUs or sensors | Select when 3.3 V output and cost sensitivity outweigh need for 1.0 A capacity or error monitoring. |
| TLD5098EL | 3.0 V fixed, 1.2 A, integrated watchdog timer, HTSSOP-16 package | Includes system-level safety features (watchdog, windowed reset) but larger footprint and higher BOM cost | Prefer for ASIL-B automotive applications requiring functional safety beyond basic LDO protection. |
Compared with NCV5661MN30T2G, NCV8170DS330T2G offers lower cost and smaller solution size but sacrifices current capability and fault visibility; TLD5098EL adds functional safety overhead unsuitable for cost-sensitive non-ASIL designs where NCV5661MN30T2G's AEC-Q100 compliance and Error Flag provide optimal balance.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCV5661MN30T2G?
The NCV5661MN30T2G has an absolute maximum input voltage (VIN) of 18 V, but its recommended operating range is 2.0 V to 9.0 V. Operation above 9.0 V increases power dissipation and thermal stress without functional benefit, as the device is optimized for post-regulation from standard 5 V or 3.3 V intermediate rails.
Does the NCV5661MN30T2G require an external bypass capacitor for low-noise operation?
No, the NCV5661MN30T2G achieves 26 µVrms output noise (10 Hz–100 kHz) without any external bypass capacitor. This is enabled by its internal low-noise architecture and 0.9 V reference design - reducing bill-of-materials cost and PCB space while improving reliability in automotive and industrial deployments.
How does the Error Flag function on the NCV5661MN30T2G behave during startup and fault conditions?
The NCV5661MN30T2G Error Flag (Pin 5) is an open-drain output that remains high-impedance until VOUT reaches regulation. Once active, it pulls low when VOUT drops below 88% of nominal (≤2.64 V) and includes a 50 µs blanking time to ignore startup transients. A 100 kΩ pull-up resistor to VIN is required for proper logic-level signaling.
What thermal performance can be expected from the NCV5661MN30T2G in a standard 1 oz copper PCB layout?
With 1 in² of 1 oz copper connected to the exposed thermal pad (Pin 6), the NCV5661MN30T2G achieves RθJL = 18°C/W. At 1.0 A load and 4.3 V input (1.3 V dropout), power dissipation is ~1.3 W - resulting in ~23°C junction-to-ambient rise above board temperature, enabling reliable operation up to +85°C ambient without forced air or heatsink.
Is the NCV5661MN30T2G pin-compatible with other members of the NCV5661 family?
Yes, all NCV5661 variants in the DFN6 package - including NCV5661MN12T2G (1.2 V), NCV5661MN15T2G (1.5 V), and NCV5661MN33T2G (3.3 V) - share identical pinout, package dimensions, and thermal pad layout. Only the output voltage and Error Flag threshold differ, allowing drop-in replacement across voltage options in existing PCB designs.
