Product details
Overview
NCV8605MN50T2G from onsemi is a fixed-output 5.0 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 dropout at 500 mA, 62 dB PSRR at 120 Hz, and 50 µVRMS output noise (10 Hz–100 kHz), enabling stable power for sensitive analog and digital circuits in notebook computers and hard disk drivers.
For engineers reviewing the NCV8605MN50T2G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, real-world application mappings, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and packaging differences - all aligned to AEC-Q100 automotive qualification requirements.
Technical Context
The NCV8605MN50T2G integrates a PMOS pass transistor with internal current limiting (675 mA), thermal shutdown (175°C), and an overshoot clamp circuit active during load transients. Its ground current remains constant at 145–180 µA across full load (1–500 mA), independent of output current - a key advantage over NMOS-based LDOs.
Unlike the enable-equipped NCV8606 variant, NCV8605MN50T2G has no EN pin (Pin 3 is NC); its operation is always-on when input voltage is applied. The SENSE/ADJ pin (Pin 5) connects directly to the output capacitor for fixed-voltage regulation, ensuring tight feedback loop stability without external resistors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0 V ±2% over −40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable logic-level supply for microcontrollers and sensors without external adjustment. |
| Max Output Current | 500 mA continuous - supports moderate-power subsystems like USB PHYs or display bias rails in automotive infotainment. |
| Dropout Voltage | 170 mV at 500 mA - enables operation from 5.17 V input, critical for battery-powered systems with declining voltage profiles. |
| PSRR | 62 dB @ 120 Hz - suppresses ripple from switching DC-DC stages upstream, preserving signal integrity in ADC reference paths. |
| Output Noise | 50 µVRMS (10 Hz–100 kHz) - eliminates need for external bypass capacitors, reducing BOM count and PCB area. |
| Ground Current | 145–180 µA, load-independent - minimizes quiescent power loss in always-on automotive modules (e.g., CAN wake-up circuits). |
| Thermal Shutdown | 175°C with 10°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking in sealed enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
NCV8605MN50T2G uses the DFN6 3.0×3.3 mm, 0.95 mm pitch package (Case 506AX) with exposed thermal pad connected to GND. Pin 1 and Pin 6 are both Vin inputs and must be externally shorted for full 500 mA capability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 6 | Vin | Dual input pins requiring external connection - reduces trace resistance and improves thermal performance under high current. |
| 2 | GND | Power ground return path; ties to exposed EPAD for enhanced thermal dissipation (RθJC = 18°C/W). |
| 3 | NC | No-connect - not internally bonded; must remain unconnected per datasheet to avoid parasitic coupling. |
| 4 | Vout | Regulated 5.0 V output - requires ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin for transient stability. |
| 5 | SENSE/ADJ | Feedback node - for fixed versions, directly tied to Vout capacitor to close regulation loop with minimal trace inductance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C ambient) - certified for automotive body control modules and ADAS sensor power rails. |
| Low-noise operation | 50 µVRMS without bypass cap - enables direct powering of RF front-ends and precision op-amps without added filtering. |
| Enhanced ESD robustness | 4 kV HBM / 200 V MM - withstands handling and board-level ESD events in manufacturing and field environments. |
| Stable with ceramic caps only | No minimum ESR requirement - supports low-cost, small-footprint 0805 X7R capacitors (e.g., GRM219R71E105K). |
| Thermal foldback protection | 175°C shutdown + 10°C hysteresis - prevents latch-up during sustained overload while allowing safe recovery after cooling. |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module | Notebook Computer Core Logic Rail |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NCV8606MN50T2G | Same 5.0 V fixed output, but includes active-high EN pin (Pin 3); higher enable threshold (0.9 V) and 12 µs enable time. | Required where system-level power sequencing or standby mode is needed; incompatible if board lacks EN routing. | Select NCV8606MN50T2G only when explicit enable control is required; otherwise NCV8605MN50T2G offers simpler layout and lower cost. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for NCV8605MN50T2G?
The absolute maximum input voltage for NCV8605MN50T2G is 6.5 V, but the recommended operating range is 1.5 V to 6.0 V. For reliable 5.0 V regulation at 500 mA, minimum input must be at least 5.17 V (5.0 V + 170 mV dropout). Operation below 1.5 V is not supported due to internal bias constraints.
Does NCV8605MN50T2G require an external resistor network for 5.0 V output?
No, NCV8605MN50T2G is a fixed-output variant - its 5.0 V regulation is achieved internally, and Pin 5 (SENSE/ADJ) must be connected directly to the output capacitor. External resistors are only required for adjustable versions like NCV8605MNADJT2G, not for NCV8605MN50T2G.
Is NCV8605MN50T2G pin-compatible with NCV8606MN50T2G?
No, NCV8605MN50T2G and NCV8606MN50T2G are not pin-compatible: Pin 3 is NC in NCV8605MN50T2G but serves as active-high EN in NCV8606MN50T2G. Using them interchangeably without board revision will result in either unintended enable behavior or floating EN node failure.
What thermal performance can be expected from NCV8605MN50T2G on a standard PCB?
When soldered on 645 mm² of 1 oz copper on FR4, NCV8605MN50T2G achieves RθJA = 75°C/W. At 500 mA and 5.17 V input, power dissipation is ~85 mW, resulting in <10°C junction-to-ambient rise - well within the 125°C max operating limit even at 85°C ambient.
Can NCV8605MN50T2G be used in non-automotive applications?
Yes, NCV8605MN50T2G is fully functional in industrial and computing applications, though its AEC-Q100 qualification and PPAP capability make it especially valuable where long-term reliability, extended temperature operation (−40°C to +125°C), and supply chain traceability are required - such as in medical or aerospace-adjacent systems.
