Product details
Overview
NCV8502D25G from onsemi is a 2.5 V fixed-output, 150 mA automotive-grade LDO linear regulator with ±2.0% output accuracy, 0.6 V dropout at full load, 90 µA quiescent current, and integrated active RESET (with programmable delay), FLAG early-warning monitor, and fault protection. It serves as the primary power supply for microprocessors in battery-powered automotive control modules.
For engineers reviewing the NCV8502D25G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualification, −40°C to +150°C junction temperature range, 60 V peak transient tolerance, reverse-battery immunity (−15 V), and SO-8 package compatibility with automotive PCB layouts requiring high-reliability voltage regulation.
Technical Context
The NCV8502D25G implements a bandgap-referenced error amplifier driving a PNP pass transistor, enabling stable low-dropout operation. Its RESET circuit operates down to VOUT = 1.0 V and includes hysteresis (0.97×/0.98× VOUT thresholds) to prevent oscillation during brownout conditions.
The FLAG monitor uses an internal comparator referenced to 1.20 V (±0.11 V) with 20–100 mV hysteresis, while the MON input allows external threshold programming. The DELAY pin sources 2.5 µA typical current to set reset timing via an external capacitor.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.5 V ±2.0% - ensures reliable logic-level supply for 2.5 V microcontrollers across temperature and load. |
| Max Output Current | 150 mA - sufficient to power core logic and I/O of automotive MCUs without external boosting. |
| Dropout Voltage | 600 mV max at 150 mA - enables operation with VIN as low as 3.1 V while maintaining regulation. |
| Quiescent Current | 90 µA at 100 µA load - minimizes battery drain in always-on vehicle subsystems (e.g., body control modules). |
| RESET Threshold | 2.25 V to 2.35 V (low-to-high), 2.28 V to 2.30 V (high-to-low) - provides precise brownout detection with hysteresis for glitch-free MCU reset. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +150°C junction - meets under-hood automotive thermal requirements without derating. |
| Transient Immunity | +60 V peak (load dump), −15 V reverse battery - eliminates need for external TVS or polarity protection in 12 V systems. |
Pinout & Package
NCV8502D25G is housed in an SO-8 narrow-body package (Case 751-07), Pb-free, with exposed pad not present. Pin 1 is VIN; Pin 2 is MON; Pins 3–4 are NC; Pin 5 is GND; Pin 6 is RESET; Pin 7 is FLAG; Pin 8 is VOUT.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 1) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 4.5–45 V DC input; withstands 60 V transients and −15 V reverse polarity. |
| MON (Pin 2) | Monitor input | Connects to VOUT or external divider to set FLAG warning threshold; supports early brownout detection. |
| NC (Pins 3–4) | No connection | Internally unconnected; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice. |
| GND (Pin 5) | Ground reference | Primary ground return for regulator, RESET, and FLAG; requires low-impedance PCB plane connection. |
| RESET (Pin 6) | Active-low reset output | Open-collector NPN; asserts low when VOUT drops below threshold; valid down to VOUT = 1.0 V. |
| FLAG (Pin 7) | Early-warning flag output | Open-collector; pulls low when MON input crosses threshold, giving MCU time to save state before RESET. |
| VOUT (Pin 8) | Regulated output | 2.5 V ±2.0% output; supplies MCU core/I/O; requires 10 µF ceramic output capacitor for stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Qualified to Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C ambient) and validated for automotive PPAP; supports functional safety-aware designs. |
| Integrated FLAG monitor | Provides programmable early-warning signal (via MON pin) to allow MCU firmware to complete critical tasks before RESET assertion. |
| Adjustable RESET threshold | External resistor divider on RADJ (not present on D25G; fixed internally) - not applicable to this variant; RESET threshold is factory-set for 2.5 V output. |
| Robust fault protection | Includes short-circuit, thermal overload, reverse-battery (−15 V), and 60 V load-dump transient protection - reduces BOM count in automotive ECUs. |
| Low-noise micropower operation | 90 µA IQ at light load enables >10-year battery life in always-on telematics modules with infrequent wake-up cycles. |
Applications
| Body Control Module (BCM) | Engine Control Unit (ECU) Subsystem |
|---|---|

Use Value: FLAG output alerts ECU firmware 20+ ms before RESET, allowing safe shutdown of sensor sampling and flash write operations. |
| Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) Camera ECU | Automotive Infotainment Power Sequencing |
Use Scenario: Powers image signal processor (ISP) I/O banks requiring clean, stable 2.5 V supply in rear-view camera module. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-noise, low-IQ LDO with EMC-optimized design; RESET coordinates ISP initialization with main SoC boot sequence. Use Value: 150 mA output and 0.6 V dropout support operation from 3.3 V intermediate rail, reducing heat generation in compact sealed housings. | Use Scenario: Provides controlled 2.5 V enable signal and timed RESET to audio DSP during ignition-on power-up sequence. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Sequencing element: DELAY pin sets 10–100 ms reset hold-off via external capacitor; FLAG monitors pre-reset voltage margin. Use Value: Programmable DELAY ensures audio subsystem powers up only after main processor and memory are fully initialized, preventing bus contention. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV73325PDBVR | 300 mA output, 170 mV dropout at 300 mA, no RESET/FLAG, SOT-23-5 package | Lacks integrated monitoring and reset functions; requires external supervisor IC for brownout handling | Choose for higher current needs where system-level supervision already exists and space-constrained layouts favor SOT-23 |
| TPS7B6725QPWPRQ1 | 200 mA output, 300 mV dropout, integrated watchdog timer, same SO-8 package, AEC-Q100 Grade 1 | Includes watchdog but no FLAG early-warning function; RESET threshold fixed at 92% of VOUT | Prefer when system requires watchdog timeout recovery but can accept reduced early-warning capability versus NCV8502D25G |
Compared with TLV73325PDBVR and TPS7B6725QPWPRQ1, the NCV8502D25G uniquely combines 2.5 V precision regulation, automotive-grade transient robustness, and dual-stage brownout signaling (FLAG + RESET) in a single SO-8 footprint-enabling simpler, more reliable power management in cost-sensitive automotive control units.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for NCV8502D25G to maintain regulation?
The NCV8502D25G maintains 2.5 V regulation with a minimum input voltage of 3.1 V, based on its maximum 600 mV dropout voltage at 150 mA load. Below this, output voltage drops linearly with input; the device remains functional but exits regulation. Input must also stay within absolute maximum ratings (−15 V to 48 V).
Does NCV8502D25G require an external capacitor on the DELAY pin?
No - the NCV8502D25G does not use a DELAY pin. That pin is present only on adjustable-output variants (e.g., NCV8502DADJG). The fixed 2.5 V version (NCV8502D25G) integrates a fixed-delay RESET function; no external capacitor is needed or supported for timing adjustment.
Can the FLAG output of NCV8502D25G drive a standard CMOS input directly?
Yes - the FLAG pin is an open-collector NPN output rated for 1.0 mA sink current. When pulled up to 2.5 V or 3.3 V with a 10 kΩ resistor, it delivers clean logic-low (≤0.4 V) and logic-high (>2.0 V) levels compatible with standard CMOS inputs, including those of automotive microcontrollers.
Is NCV8502D25G pin-compatible with other parts in the NCV8502 family?
Yes - all SO-8 variants in the NCV8502 family (including NCV8502D25G, NCV8502D33G, and NCV8502DADJG) share identical pinouts and footprints. However, internal connections differ: fixed-output versions route RADJ/DELAY to internal logic, while adjustable versions expose VADJ and require external feedback. Swapping requires verifying external circuit compatibility.
What is the thermal resistance (RJA) of NCV8502D25G in SO-8 package?
The SO-8 package of NCV8502D25G has a specified junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RJA) of 165°C/W under standard JEDEC test conditions (single-layer 1 in² copper pad). Actual RJA improves significantly with PCB copper area - adding a 200 mm² exposed pad beneath the package reduces RJA to ~90°C/W.
