Product details
Overview
NCV8703SN18T1G from onsemi is an automotive-grade ultra-low-noise, ultra-low-quiescent-current LDO voltage regulator delivering 300 mA output at fixed 1.8 V with 180 mV typical dropout, ±2% output accuracy, and 13 µVRMS noise (100 Hz–100 kHz). It features adaptive ground current, active output discharge, and AEC-Q100 qualification for use in rear-view cameras, GPS receivers, and lane-change detectors.
For engineers reviewing the NCV8703SN18T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 12 µA quiescent current at no load, TSOP-5 package compatibility with space-constrained automotive PCBs, thermal shutdown at 160°C, and stable operation with only a 1 µF ceramic output capacitor.
Technical Context
The NCV8703SN18T1G employs a PMOS pass transistor with integrated soft-start and adaptive ground current control to maintain ultra-low IQ across light-load conditions. Its internal bandgap reference and enable logic support precise 1.8 V regulation over −40°C to +125°C junction temperature.
It integrates undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with 1.6 V turn-on threshold and 100 mV hysteresis, plus thermal shutdown with 20°C hysteresis (160°C trip, 140°C reset), ensuring robust operation in automotive power domains where input voltage can dip during cold-crank events.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8 V ±2% over load/line/temperature - ensures stable core supply for 1.8 V logic and image sensors without external feedback. |
| Quiescent Current | 12 µA typical at zero load - enables >10-year battery standby in always-on automotive modules like proximity sensors. |
| Noise Performance | 13 µVRMS (100 Hz–100 kHz) - eliminates need for external noise-bypass capacitors in RF-sensitive analog signal chains. |
| Dropout Voltage | 180 mV typical at 300 mA - supports regulation from 2.0 V input down to 1.8 V output, critical for Li-ion battery discharge tails. |
| PSRR | 68 dB at 1 kHz - suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC-DC converters feeding camera or audio subsystems. |
| Enable Threshold | VEN_HI = 0.9 V, VEN_LO = 0.4 V - compatible with 1.8 V GPIOs and provides 0.5 V hysteresis to reject noise on EN line. |
| Stability | Stable with ≥0.1 µF ceramic COUT - allows use of tiny 0402/0201 MLCCs to minimize board area in compact camera modules. |
Pinout & Package
NCV8703SN18T1G is packaged in TSOP-5 (Case 483), a 3.0 mm × 1.5 mm × 0.95 mm surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad (pin 2 GND). Pin 1 is IN, pin 2 is GND, pin 3 is EN, pin 4 is N/C, pin 5 is OUT.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2.0–5.5 V input; requires local 1 µF ceramic decoupling to suppress high-frequency noise injection. |
| 2 (GND) | Power ground reference | Die ground connected via lead frame; must be soldered to large copper pour for thermal dissipation and low-impedance return path. |
| 3 (EN) | Logic-enable control | Active-high enable: ≥0.9 V turns regulator on; ≤0.4 V forces shutdown with 120 nA supply current and active discharge. |
| 4 (N/C) | No-connect terminal | Internally unconnected; may be left floating or tied to GND for mechanical stability-no electrical function. |
| 5 (OUT) | Regulated 1.8 V output | Delivers up to 300 mA; requires 1 µF X7R/X5R ceramic capacitor placed within 2 mm for stability and transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low noise (13 µVRMS) | Enables clean power for CMOS image sensors and GPS RF front-ends without noise-bypass caps or ferrite beads. |
| Adaptive ground current | Reduces IQ to 12 µA at no load while scaling to 200 µA at 300 mA, optimizing battery life in duty-cycled automotive modules. |
| Active output discharge | Pulls OUT to GND via 320 Ω resistor during shutdown, preventing floating voltage that could disrupt downstream logic sequencing. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified | Validated for −40°C to +125°C operation with PPAP capability-meets functional safety requirements for ASIL-B systems. |
| Internal soft-start | Controls output ramp rate to limit inrush current, preventing bus droop when powering multiple LDOs simultaneously. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NCV8703MX18TCG | XDFN6 1.5×1.5 mm package (vs. TSOP-5); same electrical specs, lower thermal resistance (JA = 146°C/W vs. 241°C/W). | Better thermal performance in high-power-density layouts; requires different footprint and reflow profile. | Select when board space allows smaller footprint and thermal management demands higher power dissipation capability. |
| TPS7A0518PDBVR | 1.8 V fixed-output LDO with 25 µA IQ (vs. 12 µA), 200 mV dropout at 300 mA, and no AEC-Q100 qualification. | Not automotive-qualified; suitable for industrial or consumer portable devices but not safety-critical automotive functions. | Choose for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where AEC-Q100 is not required and slightly higher IQ is acceptable. |
Compared with NCV8703MX18TCG, the NCV8703SN18T1G offers identical regulation performance but trades thermal efficiency for legacy TSOP-5 compatibility and easier hand-soldering; versus TPS7A0518PDBVR, it delivers superior quiescent current and automotive qualification at the cost of higher unit price and tighter layout constraints.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCV8703SN18T1G?
The NCV8703SN18T1G has an absolute maximum input voltage of 6 V. However, its recommended operating input range is 2.0 V to 5.5 V. Exceeding 6 V risks permanent damage due to internal ESD structure breakdown, and operation above 5.5 V voids guaranteed performance per the datasheet's Electrical Characteristics table.
Does the NCV8703SN18T1G require an external noise-bypass capacitor?
No, the NCV8703SN18T1G does not require an external noise-bypass capacitor. Its internal architecture achieves 13 µVRMS output noise (100 Hz–100 kHz) without one, as confirmed in the Applications Information section and Figure 3–6 of the datasheet. Adding a bypass cap provides no measurable improvement and consumes unnecessary board area.
How does the active output discharge function work in the NCV8703SN18T1G?
When the EN pin is driven below 0.4 V, the NCV8703SN18T1G activates an internal 320 Ω pull-down transistor between OUT and GND. This discharges the output capacitor rapidly, ensuring VOUT falls to near-zero volts within microseconds-critical for safe power sequencing in multi-rail automotive systems.
Can the NCV8703SN18T1G operate with a 0.47 µF output capacitor?
Yes, the NCV8703SN18T1G remains stable with as little as 0.1 µF effective output capacitance. A 0.47 µF X7R ceramic capacitor meets this requirement and provides adequate phase margin, though the datasheet recommends 1 µF for optimal transient response and PSRR above 100 kHz.
What is the thermal shutdown behavior of the NCV8703SN18T1G?
The NCV8703SN18T1G triggers thermal shutdown at 160°C (typical) and resets at 140°C (typical), providing 20°C hysteresis. During shutdown, the pass transistor turns off and the device draws only 120 nA from VIN. It automatically resumes regulation once die temperature falls below the reset threshold-no external reset signal is needed.
