Product details
Overview
NCV8605MN25T2G from onsemi is a fixed-output 2.5 V, 500 mA low-dropout (LDO) regulator in DFN6 3×3.3 mm package, designed for automotive and portable battery-powered systems. It delivers ±2% output voltage tolerance over −40°C to 125°C, features 170 mV typical dropout at 500 mA, 50 µVRMS output noise (10 Hz–100 kHz), and integrated thermal shutdown and current limiting. It is used in notebook computers and hard disk drivers where stable, low-noise power is critical.
For engineers reviewing the NCV8605MN25T2G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualification, absence of enable pin (distinguishing it from NCV8606), low ground current (145–180 µA), high PSRR (62 dB @ 120 Hz), and compatibility with low-ESR ceramic capacitors without stability constraints.
Technical Context
The NCV8605MN25T2G implements a CMOS-based LDO architecture with internal PNP pass transistor, delivering fixed 2.5 V output without external feedback components. Its SENSE pin is internally connected to VOUT for fixed-voltage operation, eliminating resistor divider requirements.
It integrates protection circuitry including thermal shutdown (trip at 175°C, 10°C hysteresis) and current limit (675 mA), and operates across 1.5 V to 6.0 V input range with junction temperature support up to 150°C. The device meets AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements and is Pb-free, qualified for automotive applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5 V ±2% over −40°C to 125°C ambient - ensures stable core logic or analog supply under automotive thermal stress. |
| Max Output Current | 500 mA continuous - supports mid-power microcontrollers, sensors, or interface ICs in space-constrained modules. |
| Dropout Voltage | 170 mV typical at 500 mA - enables operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0 V min) or 3.3 V rail with margin. |
| Ground Current | 145–180 µA independent of load - minimizes quiescent power loss in always-on automotive subsystems. |
| PSRR | 62 dB @ 120 Hz - suppresses ripple from switching DC/DC stages upstream, critical for ADC reference or RF bias rails. |
| Noise Voltage | 50 µVRMS (10 Hz–100 kHz) - eliminates need for external bypass capacitor, simplifying layout in noise-sensitive analog circuits. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 175°C trip with 10°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
NCV8605MN25T2G is housed in a thermally enhanced DFN6 3.0×3.3 mm package (Case 506AX) with exposed pad tied to GND for improved heat dissipation. Pin 1 and Pin 6 are both Vin inputs and must be externally shorted for full 500 mA output capability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 6 Vin | Positive power supply input | Both pins carry input current; must be connected together externally to achieve rated 500 mA output current. |
| 2 GND | Power supply ground | Primary ground return path; connects to exposed thermal pad for thermal management. |
| 3 NC | No connect | Not bonded internally; must remain unconnected - distinguishes NCV8605 from enable-equipped NCV8606. |
| 4 Vout | Regulated output voltage | Delivers fixed 2.5 V; requires ≥1 µF ceramic output capacitor placed adjacent to package for stability. |
| 5 SENSE | Output voltage sense input | Internally tied to Vout in fixed versions - no external components needed; enables accurate regulation without feedback resistors. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified | Validated for automotive ambient temperatures (−40°C to +125°C) and PPAP-capable - suitable for body control, infotainment, and ADAS submodules. |
| Low-noise operation | 50 µVRMS output noise without bypass capacitor - reduces BOM count and PCB area vs. legacy low-noise LDOs requiring external CBYPASS. |
| High PSRR | 62 dB @ 120 Hz, 55 dB @ 1 kHz - maintains clean 2.5 V supply when powered from noisy buck converter outputs. |
| Thermal & current protection | Integrated 175°C thermal shutdown and 675 mA current limit - eliminates need for external fault-handling circuitry in compact designs. |
| Low IGND | 145–180 µA ground current, load-independent - extends battery life in always-on vehicle modules such as CAN transceiver keep-alive circuits. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NCV8606MN25T2G | Same 2.5 V fixed output, but includes active-high EN pin; slightly higher ground current (150–190 µA). | Required where system-level power sequencing or standby mode control is needed. | Select NCV8606MN25T2G only if enable functionality is mandatory; NCV8605MN25T2G offers simpler routing and lower quiescent current. |
| LP8345MRE-2.5/NOPB | Pin-compatible 2.5 V LDO (TI), but lacks AEC-Q100 qualification and has higher noise (75 µVRMS) and lower PSRR (50 dB @ 120 Hz). | Suitable for industrial or consumer applications where automotive qualification is not required. | Choose LP8345MRE-2.5/NOPB for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs; NCV8605MN25T2G is preferred for automotive-grade reliability and noise performance. |
Compared with NCV8606MN25T2G, the NCV8605MN25T2G saves board space by eliminating EN trace routing and reduces standby power; versus LP8345MRE-2.5/NOPB, it delivers superior automotive qualification, lower noise, and higher PSRR - making it the optimal choice for safety-critical or noise-sensitive automotive subsystems.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for the NCV8605MN25T2G?
The NCV8605MN25T2G supports an absolute maximum input voltage of 6.5 V, with recommended operating range from 1.5 V to 6.0 V. Operation below 1.5 V is not guaranteed, and minimum input must exceed (Vout + VDO) - for 2.5 V output, this means Vin ≥ 2.67 V at 500 mA load. Exceeding 6.5 V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Does the NCV8605MN25T2G require an external enable signal?
No, the NCV8605MN25T2G does not have an enable function. Pin 3 is marked NC (no connect) and must remain unconnected. This distinguishes it from the NCV8606 variant, which uses Pin 3 as an active-high EN input. The NCV8605MN25T2G powers up automatically when valid input voltage is applied.
What output capacitor value is required for stable operation of the NCV8605MN25T2G?
The NCV8605MN25T2G requires a minimum 1.0 µF ceramic output capacitor placed adjacent to the package. Larger values (e.g., 10 µF) improve load transient response and noise rejection. Unlike many LDOs, it has no minimum ESR requirement and remains stable with low-ESR X7R/X5R ceramics - Murata GRM219R71E105K (1 µF, 25 V) is validated in the datasheet.
Is the NCV8605MN25T2G suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the NCV8605MN25T2G carries the NCV prefix indicating AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification (−40°C to +125°C ambient), PPAP capability, and unique site/control change requirements. It is explicitly intended for automotive and other high-reliability applications, with built-in thermal shutdown (175°C) and current limit (675 mA) meeting functional safety expectations for non-safety-critical subsystems.
How does the NCV8605MN25T2G compare to the LP8345 in terms of output voltage accuracy?
The NCV8605MN25T2G guarantees ±2% output voltage tolerance over all operating conditions (−40°C to +125°C, 1–500 mA load), while the LP8345 specifies ±1.5% over 0°C to +70°C only. At automotive temperatures, the NCV8605MN25T2G maintains tighter regulation - e.g., 2.45–2.55 V at 125°C - whereas LP8345 performance degrades outside its commercial temperature range, making NCV8605MN25T2G more accurate in real-world vehicle environments.
