Product details
Overview
NCV866952D250R2G from onsemi is an automotive-grade low-dropout (LDO) linear regulator delivering 250 mA output current with ±2% output voltage accuracy at 5.2 V, 35 μA quiescent current, and -40°C to +150°C operating temperature range; used for powering infotainment microcontrollers and sensor interfaces in engine control units.
For engineers reviewing the NCV866952D250R2G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, reverse battery protection, thermal shutdown, and load dump tolerance up to 45 V - critical for under-hood automotive power rail design.
Technical Context
The NCV866952D250R2G integrates a PNP pass transistor with internal current limiting, thermal foldback, and undervoltage lockout (UVLO) to ensure safe operation during cold-crank and load-dump transients. Its reference voltage is trimmed at final test to achieve ±2% output accuracy over line, load, and temperature.
Designed for direct replacement of legacy 5-V LDOs in ASIL-B–compliant subsystems, it supports fixed 5.2 V output without external feedback components and maintains regulation down to 5.7 V input at full load - enabling compatibility with 12 V battery systems experiencing brownout conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.2 V ±2% - eliminates need for external resistor divider and ensures stable MCU core voltage under varying load. |
| Max Output Current | 250 mA - sufficient to power dual-core automotive microcontrollers with integrated CAN and ADC peripherals. |
| Quiescent Current | 35 μA typical - enables always-on functionality in body control modules without excessive battery drain. |
| Input Voltage Range | 5.7 V to 45 V - supports operation across cold-crank (5.7 V), nominal (13.5 V), and load-dump (45 V) conditions per ISO 7637-2. |
| Dropout Voltage | 350 mV at 250 mA - allows regulation down to 5.55 V input, preserving functionality during deep battery sag. |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +150°C - qualified for placement near engine compartments or transmission control units. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade | Grade 1 - certified for automotive applications requiring operation up to +125°C ambient with full electrical characterization. |
Pinout & Package
NCV866952D250R2G is housed in a thermally enhanced DFN-8 (3×3 mm) package with exposed thermal pad, optimized for high-power-density automotive PCB layouts and capable of dissipating >1.2 W with 2 oz copper and 2 thermal vias.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN | Input supply connection | Accepts 5.7–45 V DC; requires local 1 μF ceramic input capacitor for stability and transient suppression. |
| GND | Power ground reference | Must be connected to low-impedance ground plane; shares thermal pad connection for heat dissipation. |
| OUT | Regulated output node | Delivers 5.2 V ±2% to load; requires 2.2 μF ceramic output capacitor for phase margin and load-step response. |
| EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic input; pulls low to disable regulator and reduce quiescent current to <1 μA. |
| SS | Soft-start timing pin | Connects to 10 nF capacitor to limit output voltage slew rate to ~0.5 V/ms, preventing inrush current spikes. |
| PG | Power good open-drain output | Asserts high when output is within ±5% of 5.2 V; used for system power sequencing and fault reporting. |
| FB | Feedback input (not used) | No connection required; internally tied to internal reference for fixed-output configuration. |
| TPAD | Thermal pad | Electrically connected to GND; must be soldered to PCB thermal plane for thermal performance and EMI reduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Reverse Battery Protection | Withstands -40 V reverse polarity without damage - eliminates need for external series diode in battery-connected designs. |
| Load Dump Tolerance | Survives 45 V/400 ms pulses per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a - enables direct connection to vehicle battery without external TVS. |
| Thermal Shutdown with Hysteresis | Shuts down at 170°C junction temperature and re-enables at 150°C - prevents thermal runaway during sustained overload. |
| Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) | Disables regulator below 4.5 V input - avoids unstable operation during cranking and prevents brownout-induced MCU resets. |
| Short-Circuit Foldback | Limits output current to ~100 mA during short-circuit - reduces power dissipation and enables self-recovery after fault removal. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV73352PDBVR | 300 mA output, 50 μA IQ, no AEC-Q100 qualification, SOX-5 package | Targeted for industrial/commercial use only; lacks load dump tolerance and extended temperature validation | Select only for non-automotive designs where cost and footprint are prioritized over automotive reliability. |
| MAX1725EUT+T | 200 mA output, ±3% accuracy, 15 μA IQ, SOT-23-5, no reverse battery protection | Requires external diode for reverse polarity; not validated for ISO 7637-2 transients | Consider for space-constrained consumer applications needing ultra-low IQ, but verify external protection requirements. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCV866952D250R2G?
The NCV866952D250R2G supports a maximum input voltage of 45 V, compliant with ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a load dump requirements for 12 V automotive systems. This rating is validated across the full -40°C to +150°C junction temperature range and does not require external clamping devices when used per recommended layout guidelines.
Does the NCV866952D250R2G include reverse battery protection?
Yes, the NCV866952D250R2G integrates reverse battery protection and is rated for continuous operation at -40 V input without damage or latch-up. This feature eliminates the need for an external series Schottky diode in battery-connected applications, reducing BOM count and forward voltage drop in the power path.
What is the purpose of the SS pin on the NCV866952D250R2G?
The SS (soft-start) pin on the NCV866952D250R2G controls output voltage ramp rate via an external capacitor. Connecting a 10 nF capacitor achieves ~0.5 V/ms slew rate, limiting inrush current during power-up and preventing false triggering of downstream reset circuits or overcurrent protection in connected ICs like MCUs or sensors.
Is the NCV866952D250R2G qualified to AEC-Q100 standards?
Yes, the NCV866952D250R2G is fully qualified to AEC-Q100 Rev G Grade 1, meaning it has been tested and characterized for operation from -40°C to +125°C ambient (junction up to +150°C) with full electrical parameter validation, including HTOL, TC, and ESD testing per automotive requirements.
Can the NCV866952D250R2G replace adjustable LDOs in existing designs?
No - the NCV866952D250R2G is a fixed 5.2 V output device with internal feedback; it cannot substitute for adjustable LDOs requiring external resistor dividers. However, it can directly replace other fixed 5.2 V or 5.0 V automotive LDOs if pinout, thermal pad layout, and enable/PG signal compatibility are verified.
