Product details
Overview
NCV8170AXV310T2G from onsemi is an automotive-grade CMOS low-dropout (LDO) regulator delivering 150 mA output with ultra-low quiescent current (typ. 500 nA), 3.1 V fixed output voltage, and dropout voltage of 170 mV at 150 mA. It operates from 2.2 V to 5.5 V input and features active discharge, thermal shutdown, and over-current protection - designed for always-on battery-powered modules in ADAS camera systems.
For engineers reviewing the NCV8170AXV310T2G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualification, 1% output voltage accuracy over −40°C to +125°C, stable operation with 1 µF ceramic output capacitors, and EN-controlled active discharge capability.
Technical Context
The NCV8170AXV310T2G implements a CMOS-based LDO architecture with dynamic quiescent current adjustment to maintain 500 nA IQ at no load while enabling fast transient response during load steps. Its internal pass element is optimized for low dropout and high PSRR (up to 63 dB at 1 kHz, 10 mA load).
It integrates an enable-controlled active discharge path (RLOW ≈ 100 Ω) that pulls VOUT to GND when EN is low - a critical feature for system-level power sequencing in automotive infotainment and telematics. Thermal shutdown triggers at 175°C with 25°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.1 V ±1% over −40°C to +125°C - ensures stable MCU core or sensor bias under automotive temperature extremes. |
| Max Output Current | 150 mA continuous - supports low-power microcontrollers, image sensors, and CAN transceivers in compact modules. |
| Quiescent Current | Typ. 500 nA at IOUT = 0 mA - enables >10-year battery life in keyless entry or tire pressure monitoring systems. |
| Dropout Voltage | 170 mV typ. at 150 mA - allows regulation from 3.27 V input down to 3.1 V output, maximizing usable battery range. |
| PSRR | 63 dB at 1 kHz (10 mA load) - suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC-DC converters in mixed-power-rail designs. |
| Stability | Stable with ≥1 µF X5R/X7R ceramic output capacitor - eliminates need for tantalum or electrolytic, reducing BOM cost and footprint. |
| Enable Threshold | VENH = 1.2 V min., VENL = 0.4 V max. - compatible with 1.8 V/3.3 V GPIOs and supports clean power sequencing. |
Pinout & Package
NCV8170AXV310T2G is packaged in SOT−563 (Case 463A), a 6-pin, 1.6 mm × 1.6 mm × 0.55 mm surface-mount package with exposed pad thermally connected to GND. Pin 1 is IN, Pin 2 is GND, Pin 3 is OUT, Pin 4 is NC, Pin 5 is GND, Pin 6 is EN.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input Power Supply | Accepts 2.2–5.5 V input; requires ≥1 µF ceramic decoupling to ground for stability and transient immunity. |
| 2 (GND) | Power Ground Reference | Primary ground return for input/output paths; connects internally to EPAD for thermal dissipation. |
| 3 (OUT) | Regulated Output | Delivers fixed 3.1 V ±1%; must be decoupled with ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| 4 (NC) | No Connect | Not bonded; must remain unconnected and unrouted to avoid parasitic coupling or ESD risk. |
| 5 (GND) | Secondary Ground Terminal | Provides additional low-inductance ground path; ties to same net as Pin 2 and EPAD. |
| 6 (EN) | Enable Control Input | Active-high logic input; drives internal pass FET and activates 100 Ω active discharge when pulled low. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-Low Quiescent Current | 500 nA typical enables multi-year operation from coin-cell or small Li-ion batteries in always-on modules. |
| Active Output Discharge | 100 Ω internal discharge path rapidly collapses VOUT when disabled - prevents floating rails and ensures deterministic reset timing. |
| AEC-Q100 Qualified | Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C) qualification confirms reliability for under-hood and cabin automotive applications. |
| Thermal Shutdown with Hysteresis | 175°C trip with 25°C hysteresis prevents thermal oscillation and protects against sustained overload conditions. |
| High PSRR at Low Frequencies | 63 dB at 1 kHz improves immunity to ripple from upstream buck converters powering infotainment subsystems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV73331PDBVR | 300 mA output, 350 nA IQ, no active discharge, non-automotive grade | Lacks AEC-Q100 qualification and active discharge - unsuitable for safety-critical or sequenced automotive systems | Select only for cost-sensitive industrial or consumer designs where automotive qualification is not required. |
| TPS78031QDRVRQ1 | 150 mA, 500 nA IQ, 3.1 V fixed, AEC-Q100 Grade 1, but no active discharge | Matches NCV8170AXV310T2G in accuracy, IQ, and qualification, but lacks active discharge path | Choose when system-level discharge is handled externally or unnecessary; verify sequencing requirements. |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the NCV8170AXV310T2G over temperature?
The NCV8170AXV310T2G delivers 3.1 V output with ±1% accuracy over the full automotive temperature range of −40°C to +125°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table for the 3.1 V version. This tight tolerance ensures reliable operation of voltage-sensitive components like image sensors and secure MCUs without external trimming.
Does the NCV8170AXV310T2G require an external resistor network to set output voltage?
No, the NCV8170AXV310T2G is a fixed-output LDO with factory-trimmed 3.1 V regulation. It does not use external feedback resistors - simplifying layout, reducing BOM count, and eliminating drift sources associated with resistor tolerances and temperature coefficients.
How does the active discharge function operate in the NCV8170AXV310T2G?
When the EN pin is driven below 0.4 V, the NCV8170AXV310T2G activates an internal ~100 Ω discharge path between OUT and GND, collapsing the output voltage rapidly. This prevents residual charge from interfering with downstream logic states or causing unintended wake-up events during system power-down sequences.
Can the NCV8170AXV310T2G be used with ceramic output capacitors smaller than 1 µF?
No - the NCV8170AXV310T2G is characterized and guaranteed stable only with ≥1 µF X5R or X7R ceramic output capacitors. Using smaller values risks instability, overshoot, or oscillation during load transients, especially in automotive environments with wide temperature swings.
Is the NCV8170AXV310T2G pin-compatible with other variants in the NCV8170 family?
Yes - all NCV8170 variants, including NCV8170AXV310T2G, share identical SOT−563 (Case 463A) pinout and footprint. This allows voltage-version flexibility (1.2 V to 3.6 V) without PCB redesign, provided thermal and layout constraints for the specific output current and dropout are met.
