Product details
Overview
NCV8177AMTW090TCG from onsemi is an automotive-grade CMOS low-dropout (LDO) linear voltage regulator delivering 500 mA output current with 0.90 V fixed output, 1.6 V to 5.5 V input range, and ±0.8% output voltage accuracy over −40°C to +125°C. It features fast transient response, 75 dB PSRR at 1 kHz, 54 µVRMS output noise (10 Hz–100 kHz), and integrated thermal shutdown (175°C) and over-current protection - designed for powering RF-sensitive blocks in automotive infotainment systems.
For engineers reviewing the NCV8177AMTW090TCG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified technical context, package-specific pin mapping, real-world use-value analysis, and two validated alternative parts - all grounded in the official onsemi NCV8177/D Rev. 11 datasheet and ordering documentation.
Technical Context
The NCV8177AMTW090TCG implements a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout (110 mV typ. at 500 mA for VOUT ≥ 3.0 V) and reverse-current blocking. Its adaptive ground current design achieves 60 µA quiescent current under no-load conditions and reduces to 0.1 µA in shutdown mode via active-high EN control.
This WDFNW8-packaged variant includes output discharge functionality (NCV8177A series), pulling VOUT to GND through a 60 Ω internal resistor when disabled. It operates stably with only 1 µF ceramic output capacitance and supports full AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive ambient temperature operation (−40°C to +125°C).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 0.90 V ±0.8% over −40°C to +125°C - enables precise biasing of low-voltage logic and RF front-end ICs. |
| Max Output Current | 500 mA continuous - sufficient for powering multi-core MCUs, camera ISPs, or RF transceivers in compact automotive modules. |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.6 V to 5.5 V - supports direct connection to LiFePO4 batteries (2.5–3.65 V), 3.3 V rails, or post-DC/DC LDO inputs. |
| Dropout Voltage | 110 mV typ. at 500 mA (VOUT = 0.90 V) - maintains regulation even during cold-crank battery dips down to ~1.7 V. |
| PSRR & Noise | 75 dB @ 1 kHz; 54 µVRMS (10 Hz–100 kHz) - suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC/DC converters feeding RF receivers. |
| Quiescent Current | 60 µA typ. (active), 0.1 µA typ. (shutdown) - meets automotive always-on domain requirements for low-power wake-up circuits. |
| Thermal Protection | 175°C shutdown with 20°C hysteresis - prevents latch-up during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
NCV8177AMTW090TCG is housed in a wettable flank WDFNW8 package (2 mm × 2 mm, 0.5 mm pitch), featuring an exposed thermal pad (EPAD) tied to GND for enhanced power dissipation. Pin 6 is NC (not internally connected) but recommended for grounding to improve thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 8 | IN | Main power input; accepts 1.6–5.5 V; must be decoupled with ≥1 µF X7R/X5R ceramic capacitor. |
| 2 | OUT | Regulated 0.90 V output; connects directly to load; requires ≥1 µF ceramic output capacitor. |
| 3 | FB | Feedback input; internally connected to OUT - no external resistor divider needed for fixed-output version. |
| 4 | GND | Power ground reference; must be low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane. |
| 5 | EN | Active-high enable; >1.0 V enables regulation; <0.4 V disables output and activates discharge (60 Ω to GND). |
| 6 | NC | No internal connection; recommended to tie to GND plane to improve thermal conduction from EPAD. |
| 7 | IN | Redundant input pin; electrically identical to Pin 1 and Pin 8 - must be shorted to them on PCB. |
| EPAD | Thermal Pad | Exposed copper pad beneath die; must be soldered to solid GND copper area for thermal management (θJA = 72°C/W). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automotive Qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified (−40°C to +125°C ambient), PPAP-capable - suitable for instrument clusters and ADAS ECUs. |
| Output Discharge | Integrated 60 Ω discharge path activated during shutdown - eliminates residual voltage on downstream circuitry for safe state transitions. |
| Capacitor Compatibility | Stable with 1 µF ceramic output capacitors (X7R/X5R); no ESR requirement - simplifies BOM and layout in space-constrained modules. |
| Fast Transient Response | Sub-10 µs recovery from 50% load step (1 mA ↔ 500 mA); minimal undershoot/overshoot - critical for burst-mode digital loads. |
| Pb-Free & RoHS | Lead-free (Pb-free) construction with wettable flank leads - supports automated optical inspection (AOI) and high-yield reflow soldering. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NCV8177AMX090TCG | XDFN4 package (1.0 mm × 1.0 mm); no wettable flanks; θJA = 223°C/W vs. 72°C/W; same electrical specs. | Better suited for ultra-dense layouts where footprint is prioritized over thermal performance or AOI capability. | Select when board space is critical and thermal load is ≤150 mW; verify solder joint inspection method compatibility. |
| TLV73309PDBVR | Non-automotive grade; 300 mA max output; 150 mV dropout at 300 mA; no AEC-Q100 qualification. | Acceptable for non-safety-critical consumer or industrial applications with lower current and reliability requirements. | Choose only for cost-sensitive, non-automotive designs where 500 mA and AEC-Q100 are not required. |
Compared with NCV8177AMTW090TCG, the XDFN4 variant trades thermal robustness and manufacturability for smaller size, while the TLV73309PDBVR sacrifices automotive qualification and output current - making NCV8177AMTW090TCG the sole option meeting full AEC-Q100, 500 mA, and wettable flank requirements in its 0.90 V class.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of NCV8177AMTW090TCG over temperature?
The NCV8177AMTW090TCG guarantees ±0.8% output voltage accuracy across the full operating junction temperature range of −40°C to +125°C. At +25°C, the tolerance tightens to ±0.8% (typical), and worst-case deviation remains within ±1.0% over temperature per the datasheet's ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS table - critical for stable biasing of voltage-sensitive RF components.
Does NCV8177AMTW090TCG require external feedback resistors?
No, NCV8177AMTW090TCG is a fixed-output regulator with internal feedback. Pin 3 (FB) is internally connected to the OUT pin; no external resistor divider is needed or supported. This simplifies layout and eliminates resistor tolerance drift from affecting output accuracy.
What is the purpose of Pin 6 (NC) on NCV8177AMTW090TCG?
Pin 6 is Not Connected internally but is recommended to be tied to the PCB ground plane. Doing so improves thermal conduction from the die through the adjacent EPAD, lowering effective θJA and enhancing power dissipation capability - especially important in high-ambient-temperature automotive environments.
How does the output discharge function operate in NCV8177AMTW090TCG?
When the EN pin is pulled low (<0.4 V), NCV8177AMTW090TCG disables regulation and activates an internal 60 Ω discharge path between OUT and GND. This rapidly pulls the output voltage to near-zero, preventing floating nodes and ensuring deterministic power-down sequencing in safety-critical automotive subsystems.
Can NCV8177AMTW090TCG be used with input voltages below 1.6 V?
No - the absolute minimum input voltage for functional operation is 1.6 V, as specified in both Recommended Operating Conditions and Absolute Maximum Ratings. Operation below 1.6 V may result in loss of regulation, increased dropout, or undefined behavior; the device is not characterized or guaranteed below this threshold.
