Product details
Overview
NCV8502PDWADJR2G from onsemi is an automotive-grade adjustable-output LDO linear regulator delivering 150 mA with ±2.0% output accuracy, 0.6 V max dropout at full load, and integrated active RESET (with programmable delay), FLAG early-warning monitor, and fault protection including +60 V transient tolerance and −15 V reverse-battery immunity. It serves as a primary power supply and system supervisor in engine control units and body electronics.
For engineers reviewing the NCV8502PDWADJR2G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its adjustable output voltage range (1.25–10 V), low 50 µA quiescent current at light load, operation down to 1.0 V output for valid RESET assertion, and SOW-16 exposed-pad package optimized for thermal performance in automotive under-hood environments.
Technical Context
The NCV8502PDWADJR2G implements a bandgap-referenced error amplifier with unity-gain feedback via the VADJ pin, enabling precise output adjustment using an external resistor divider. Its RESET circuit operates independently of regulation status and remains functional down to VOUT = 1.0 V, ensuring reliable microprocessor reset signaling even during brownout conditions.
It integrates three supervisory functions: a DELAY capacitor-programmable reset timer, a FLAG open-collector comparator with 1.20 V typical MON threshold and 20–100 mV hysteresis, and a reset-adjust input (RADJ) allowing threshold reduction below default levels. All functions are AEC-Q100 qualified and designed for EMC robustness in 12 V/24 V automotive systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 150 mA maximum continuous - supports mid-power MCU cores and peripheral ICs without external pass devices. |
| Output Accuracy | ±2.0% over temperature and load - ensures stable logic supply within processor VDD tolerance bands. |
| Dropout Voltage | 600 mV max at 150 mA - enables operation with VIN as low as VOUT + 0.6 V, critical for cold-crank scenarios. |
| Quiescent Current | 50 µA typical at 100 µA load - extends battery life in always-on vehicle modules like door controllers. |
| RESET Threshold | Programmable via RADJ; default 97–98% of VOUT - provides precise undervoltage detection aligned with system-level reset requirements. |
| FLAG Threshold | 1.20 V typical on MON pin with 20–100 mV hysteresis - delivers deterministic early warning before RESET activation. |
| Transient Tolerance | +60 V peak (load dump), −15 V reverse battery - meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a/b and reverse-polarity test requirements. |
Pinout & Package
SOW-16 wide-body SOIC with exposed thermal pad (Case 751AG), optimized for high-power dissipation in automotive under-hood applications. Junction-to-case thermal resistance is 15 °C/W, enabling >1 W continuous power handling with proper PCB copper area.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input voltage supply | Accepts 4.5–45 V DC; withstands +60 V transients and −15 V reverse polarity. |
| MON | Monitor input | Connects to resistor divider for programmable FLAG trip point; default ties to VOUT for fixed 1.20 V reference. |
| RADJ | Reset adjust input | External resistor divider lowers RESET threshold below default 97–98% of VOUT; grounded for nominal setting. |
| DELAY | Reset timing capacitor node | Sinks/supplies charge current (2.5 µA typ.) to set RESET delay time; discharges fully after reset violation. |
| GND | Ground reference | All GND pins must be connected to common ground plane; exposed pad is electrically tied to GND for thermal conduction. |
| RESET | Active-low reset output | Open-collector NPN; asserts low when VOUT drops below threshold; valid down to VOUT = 1.0 V. |
| FLAG | Early-warning output | Open-collector NPN; pulls low when MON voltage falls below threshold, giving MCU time to save state before RESET. |
| VOUT | Regulated output | Adjustable 1.25–10 V via VADJ feedback; ±2.0% accuracy ensures compliance with MCU I/O voltage specs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable Output Voltage | 1.25 V to 10 V via external resistor divider on VADJ - eliminates need for multiple fixed-voltage SKUs in multi-rail designs. |
| Programmable RESET Delay | Capacitor-controlled timing (e.g., 23.8 ms with 33 nF) - allows configurable reset hold-off to meet processor boot timing requirements. |
| Early Warning FLAG | 1.20 V MON threshold with 20–100 mV hysteresis - provides deterministic pre-reset signal enabling graceful MCU shutdown and data preservation. |
| AEC-Q100 Qualified | Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C junction) - certified for engine compartment and transmission control module deployment. |
| Robust Fault Protection | +60 V transient, −15 V reverse battery, short-circuit, and thermal shutdown - reduces need for external protection components in cost-sensitive modules. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator with reset and monitor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NCV8501PDWADJR2G | 50 mA output current, identical pinout and feature set - lower current capability only. | Suitable for ultra-low-power modules (e.g., smart sensors) where 150 mA headroom is unnecessary. | Select when total system load < 40 mA and board space/thermal budget is constrained. |
| TLV70733PDQNR | 3.3 V fixed output, 300 mA rating, no RESET/FLAG features, smaller 6-pin WSON package. | Applicable where only basic LDO functionality is needed and supervisory signals are handled externally. | Choose for non-automotive, cost-sensitive consumer applications lacking reset/monitor requirements. |
Compared with NCV8502PDWADJR2G, the NCV8501PDWADJR2G offers identical supervision features at reduced current capacity, while the TLV70733PDQNR trades integrated monitoring for higher output current and smaller footprint - neither provides drop-in replacement due to differing current ratings, supervision integration, or automotive qualification.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for NCV8502PDWADJR2G to regulate a 3.3 V output?
The NCV8502PDWADJR2G requires VIN ≥ VOUT + dropout voltage. With a max dropout of 600 mV at 150 mA, it regulates 3.3 V output down to VIN = 3.9 V. At light loads, dropout drops to 150 mV, enabling regulation from 3.45 V. This supports cold-crank operation in 12 V systems where battery voltage dips to ~6 V.
How is the output voltage adjusted on the NCV8502PDWADJR2G?
The NCV8502PDWADJR2G uses a resistor divider from VOUT to the VADJ pin to set output voltage. The internal reference is 1.28 V (typical), so VOUT = 1.28 × (1 + R1/R2). For example, R1 = 15 kΩ and R2 = 5.1 kΩ yields ≈5.0 V. The VADJ pin draws ≤0.5 µA, minimizing divider current error.
Can the NCV8502PDWADJR2G be used in non-automotive applications?
Yes, the NCV8502PDWADJR2G is fully functional in industrial and medical applications requiring high reliability, wide temperature range (−40°C to +125°C), and robust fault protection. Its AEC-Q100 qualification adds margin but is not a barrier to use outside automotive - many customers deploy it in railway, energy, and avionics systems.
What is the purpose of the MON pin on the NCV8502PDWADJR2G?
The MON pin on the NCV8502PDWADJR2G is the input to the FLAG early-warning comparator. When voltage at MON falls below 1.20 V (typical), FLAG pulls low to alert the microcontroller of impending RESET. It can be tied directly to VOUT for fixed threshold or biased via resistor divider to customize the warning point relative to system needs.
Does the NCV8502PDWADJR2G require an external capacitor on the DELAY pin?
Yes, the DELAY pin requires an external capacitor to set the RESET delay time. The device sources ~2.5 µA into the capacitor during power-up or recovery; delay time is calculated as tDELAY = CDELAY × (VDT − VDL) / ICHARGE. For example, a 33 nF capacitor yields ~23.8 ms delay using typical values (VDT = 1.8 V, VDL = 0 V, ICHARGE = 2.5 µA).
