Product details
Overview
NCV59745AMW250TAG from onsemi is a fixed-output, dual-rail, very low dropout (VLDO) linear voltage regulator delivering up to 3.0 A output current with 105 mV typical dropout at full load, 0.25% typical output accuracy over line and load, and 6 µVRMS output noise (10 Hz–100 kHz). It features programmable soft-start, open-drain Power Good output, and is qualified for automotive applications per AEC-Q100. It powers noise-sensitive high-speed digital loads including FPGAs and SerDes in point-of-load configurations.
For engineers reviewing the NCV59745AMW250TAG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 2.50 V fixed output, QFNW20 4.0 mm × 4.0 mm wettable flank package, bias rail architecture (VBIAS = 2.2–5.5 V), PSRR of 75 dB at 1 kHz, and active output discharge capability (NCV59745A variant).
Technical Context
The NCV59745AMW250TAG uses an NMOS pass transistor architecture powered by separate VIN and VBIAS rails-enabling ultra-low dropout operation while decoupling loop stability from output capacitance selection. Its internal controller integrates undervoltage lockout (UVLO), thermal shutdown (TSD) at +165°C, and enable pin hysteresis (100 mV) with deglitch filtering.
It implements programmable soft-start via external CSS capacitor (tSS = CSS × 0.13 ms), delivers active output discharge through a 600 Ω internal resistor when EN is low (NCV59745A feature), and provides precise power sequencing via open-drain PG output with 82–96% VOUT trip threshold and 3% hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.50 V - eliminates external feedback network; ensures stable rail for I/O or core logic requiring tight tolerance. |
| Max Output Current | 3.0 A - supports high-current FPGA I/O banks or ASIC subsystems without external current boosting. |
| Dropout Voltage | 105 mV typ. at 3 A - enables regulation from VIN as low as 2.605 V, critical for battery-adjacent or multi-rail systems. |
| Output Accuracy | ±0.3% typ. over line/load/temp - guarantees timing margin integrity for high-speed interfaces like DDR or PCIe. |
| Output Noise | 6 µVRMS (10 Hz–100 kHz) - meets stringent analog/RF supply requirements for VCOs, ADCs, and imaging sensors. |
| PSRR | 75 dB at 1 kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters feeding VIN or VBIAS rails. |
| Soft-Start Time | Programmable (0.35–13 ms) via CSS capacitor - prevents inrush into large bulk capacitance (e.g., 330 µF tantalum + MLCC stacks). |
| Power Good Threshold | 88% VOUT typ. with 3% hysteresis - enables reliable power sequencing with downstream devices requiring monotonic ramp detection. |
Pinout & Package
NCV59745AMW250TAG is housed in a thermally enhanced QFNW20 (4.0 mm × 4.0 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) package with exposed thermal pad. The wettable flank design supports automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (Pins 15–17) | Main input supply rail | Accepts 0.8–5.5 V; supplies NMOS pass element; dropout defined relative to VOUT. |
| BIAS (Pin 12) | Bias supply for control circuitry | Provides 2.2–5.5 V to error amplifier, reference, and internal logic; enables independent rail optimization. |
| OUT (Pins 1, 19, 20) | Regulated output | Delivers 2.50 V @ up to 3.0 A; requires ≥10 µF effective ceramic output capacitance. |
| SNS (Pin 2) | Remote output voltage sense | Enables Kelvin sensing to compensate PCB trace IR drop; must not float. |
| PG (Pin 4) | Open-drain Power Good indicator | Signals VOUT validity; requires external 10–100 kΩ pull-up; supports system-level power sequencing. |
| EN (Pin 14) | Enable control input | Active-high logic; 1.1 V threshold with 100 mV hysteresis; deglitched for noise immunity. |
| SS (Pin 13) | Soft-start timing node | Charged by 6.2 µA internal current; external CSS capacitor sets startup ramp time. |
| GND (Pins 8, 18) | Signal and power ground | Dual GND pins reduce impedance; thermal pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane. |
| NC (Pins 3, 5–7, 9–11) | No connection | True NC pins; may be left floating or tied to GND for improved thermal conduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-rail architecture (VIN + VBIAS) | Decouples pass device drive from output regulation-enables stable operation with low-ESR ceramic capacitors and extends usable input range. |
| Active output discharge (NCV59745A) | 600 Ω internal discharge path pulls VOUT to GND during shutdown-ensures clean restart from 0 V in multi-rail sequenced systems. |
| Programmable soft-start | External CSS capacitor sets monotonic ramp time (0.35–13 ms)-prevents inrush-induced voltage droop on shared input rails. |
| High PSRR (75 dB @ 1 kHz) | Rejects noise from switching regulators feeding VIN or VBIAS-critical for powering SerDes PLLs and RF front-ends. |
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Validated for automotive temperature range (−40°C to +125°C junction) and reliability stress tests-supports ADAS and infotainment ECUs. |
| Wettable flank QFNW20 | Facilitates AOI of solder fillets on all perimeter pins-improves manufacturing yield in automotive-grade SMT lines. |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the NCV59745AMW250TAG over temperature and load?
The NCV59745AMW250TAG delivers ±0.3% typical output voltage accuracy across −40°C to +125°C junction temperature, 50 mA to 3.0 A load, and VBIAS from 2.4 V to 5.25 V. This is confirmed in Table 5 of the datasheet under "VOUT Accuracy" with min/max bounds of −1.0% to +1.0%. The tight tolerance ensures reliable operation of 2.5 V I/O standards such as SSTL and HSTL without external trimming.
Does the NCV59745AMW250TAG require an external capacitor on the SS pin for basic operation?
No-the NCV59745AMW250TAG starts up with a minimum 0.35 ms soft-start time when the SS pin is left open (no capacitor). An external CSS capacitor is optional and used only to extend soft-start duration (e.g., 10 nF yields ~1.3 ms). The device remains fully functional without it, but adding CSS improves inrush control in systems with large output capacitance.
Is the NCV59745AMW250TAG compatible with ceramic output capacitors, and what is the minimum recommended value?
Yes-the NCV59745AMW250TAG is explicitly designed for stability with ceramic output capacitors. The datasheet specifies a minimum effective capacitance of 10 µF (Table 4 and Applications Information), and confirms stability up to 1000 µF. Multiple parallel ceramics (e.g., 3×10 µF MLCCs) are supported and improve high-frequency transient response.
How does the dual-rail architecture (VIN and VBIAS) benefit system design compared to single-rail LDOs?
The dual-rail architecture allows independent optimization: VIN can be derived from a noisy, high-efficiency DC-DC converter (e.g., 3.3 V), while VBIAS is supplied from a cleaner, lower-noise source (e.g., 5.0 V LDO). This separation improves PSRR, reduces sensitivity to VIN ripple, and enables lower dropout than possible with single-rail topologies-especially critical below 3.0 V input.
What thermal performance can be expected from the NCV59745AMW250TAG in a standard 2-layer PCB layout?
In a JEDEC-standard high-K board (2 oz. copper top/bottom, 3×3 thermal via array to inner ground plane), the NCV59745AMW250TAG exhibits RθJA = 40°C/W and RθJB = 3.6°C/W (Table 3). At 3.0 A load with 2.5 V output and 3.3 V VIN, power dissipation is ~2.4 W-resulting in ~96°C rise above ambient. To stay within the +125°C max junction limit, ambient must remain ≤29°C unless enhanced cooling is applied.
