Product details
Overview
NCV8187AMTWADJTAG from onsemi is an automotive-grade adjustable LDO linear voltage regulator delivering up to 1.2 A output current with 30 µA typical quiescent current, ±2% output voltage accuracy over full load/line/temperature, and 75 dB PSRR at 1 kHz. It features Power Good open-drain output, thermal shutdown, current limiting, soft-start, and active output discharge - designed for power rail stabilization in infotainment systems and robotic vision modules.
For engineers reviewing the NCV8187AMTWADJTAG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its WDFNW6 2×2 mm wettable flank package, ADJ feedback architecture supporting 0.8 V–5.2 V output, low-noise (15 µVRMS) performance, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive use.
Technical Context
The NCV8187AMTWADJTAG implements a precision bandgap reference (0.8 V nominal) with external resistor divider feedback via the ADJ pin, enabling programmable output voltages from 0.8 V to 5.2 V. Its internal error amplifier drives a PMOS pass transistor with integrated soft-start circuitry to limit inrush current during enable transitions.
Power Good functionality uses an internal comparator monitoring regulated output voltage against 92% (rising) and 80% (falling) thresholds, asserting open-drain PG low when VOUT deviates beyond those limits. Thermal shutdown activates at 170°C with 15°C hysteresis, and current limiting protects against overload and short-circuit conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 1.2 A max - supports high-current digital loads like SoC cores and image sensors without external boost stages |
| Quiescent Current | 30 µA typ. - enables always-on subsystems in automotive body control modules with minimal battery drain |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±2% over full load/line/temperature - ensures reliable logic-level compliance for 1.8 V/3.3 V I/O rails |
| PSRR | 75 dB at 1 kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters feeding sensitive analog circuits |
| Dropout Voltage | 150 mV typ. at 3.3 V output / 1.2 A - allows operation from low-headroom sources such as partially discharged 3.7 V Li-ion batteries |
| Output Noise | 15 µVRMS (10 Hz–100 kHz) - meets low-noise requirements for ADC reference supplies and RF front-end biasing |
| Enable Threshold | VEN_HI = 0.9 V min., VEN_LO = 0.3 V max. - compatible with standard 1.8 V/3.3 V GPIO outputs without level-shifting |
Pinout & Package
NCV8187AMTWADJTAG is packaged in a WDFNW6 2×2 mm wettable flank (WF) leadless package with exposed thermal pad, optimized for automated optical inspection (AOI) and improved solder joint reliability in automotive applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN | Input supply connection | Accepts 1.5–5.5 V input; requires ≥1 µF ceramic decoupling capacitor to GND for stability and transient response |
| OUT | Regulated output node | Delivers adjustable output (0.8–5.2 V); requires ≥10 µF ceramic capacitor to GND for loop stability and noise filtering |
| GND | Power ground reference | Primary return path for input/output currents; must be connected directly to PCB thermal pad for optimal thermal performance |
| EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic input; drives regulator ON above 0.9 V, OFF below 0.3 V; draws ≤100 nA when high |
| ADJ | Feedback voltage input | Connects to resistor divider from OUT to GND; sets output voltage per VOUT = VREF(1 + R1/R2), where VREF = 0.8 V |
| PG | Power Good open-drain output | Asserts low when VOUT is within 80–92% of target; requires external 10–100 kΩ pull-up to VOUT or VIN |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV73318PDBVR | Fixed 1.8 V output; 300 mA max; 40 µA IQ; SOT-23-5 package | Limited to single-voltage applications; lacks PG output and adjustable capability | Choose for cost-sensitive, low-current non-automotive designs where footprint and simplicity outweigh programmability |
| NCP114AMX180TCG | Fixed 1.8 V; 300 mA; 25 µA IQ; DFN6 2×2 mm; no PG or active discharge | No power sequencing support; not AEC-Q100 qualified; lower current rating | Select for industrial or consumer portable devices needing ultra-low IQ but no automotive qualification or system-level monitoring |
Compared with TLV73318PDBVR and NCP114AMX180TCG, the NCV8187AMTWADJTAG provides higher output current (1.2 A vs. ≤300 mA), automotive qualification, Power Good signaling, and full adjustability - making it uniquely suited for safety-critical, multi-rail automotive subsystems requiring robust power management.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for NCV8187AMTWADJTAG to regulate a 3.3 V output?
The NCV8187AMTWADJTAG requires a minimum input voltage of 3.45 V to maintain regulation at 3.3 V output, based on its maximum dropout voltage of 150 mV at that condition. At 1.2 A load and 150°C junction temperature, dropout may rise to 220 mV, so 3.52 V input is recommended for worst-case margin. Input voltage must remain within the 1.5–5.5 V operating range specified in the datasheet.
How does the ADJ pin function in NCV8187AMTWADJTAG, and what resistor values are recommended?
The ADJ pin on NCV8187AMTWADJTAG connects to the feedback node of an external resistor divider between OUT and GND, setting output voltage per VOUT = 0.8 V × (1 + R1/R2). To minimize accuracy error from ADJ pin bias current (~300 nA), onsemi recommends R1 and R2 values below 500 kΩ. For example, a 1.8 V output uses R1 = 120 kΩ and R2 = 96 kΩ.
Does NCV8187AMTWADJTAG support active output discharge, and how is it implemented?
Yes, NCV8187AMTWADJTAG includes active output discharge with a typical resistance of 120 Ω between OUT and GND when disabled (EN = low). This feature rapidly discharges output capacitance, preventing back-powering of downstream ICs and ensuring safe power-down sequencing in multi-rail systems - critical for automotive microcontroller reset integrity.
What is the purpose of the Power Good (PG) output on NCV8187AMTWADJTAG, and how should it be connected?
The PG output on NCV8187AMTWADJTAG is an open-drain signal that goes low when VOUT falls below 80% or rises above 92% of its target value. It requires an external 10–100 kΩ pull-up resistor - connected to either VOUT (for accurate sequencing) or VIN (for wider voltage compatibility). PG enables MCU-based power monitoring and fault detection in safety-critical applications.
Is NCV8187AMTWADJTAG qualified for automotive applications, and what standards does it meet?
Yes, NCV8187AMTWADJTAG carries the NCV prefix indicating automotive qualification and is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified (−40°C to +125°C ambient). It is PPAP-capable and manufactured in onsemi's IATF 16949-certified facilities. The device also complies with RoHS, Pb-free, and halogen-free requirements per JEDEC J-STD-020 and JESD22-A114/A115 ESD standards.
