Product details
Overview
NCV8720BMT125TBG from onsemi is a 350 mA very low dropout (VLDO) linear regulator with dual-rail NMOS architecture, fixed 1.25 V output, ±2% accuracy over −40 °C to +125 °C, 110 mV typical dropout at full load, and separate VBIAS supply for ultra-low bias current (80 µA typ). It serves as a post-regulator in FPGA/DSP power domains where noise sensitivity, space constraints, and automotive-grade reliability are critical.
For engineers reviewing the NCV8720BMT125TBG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 1.25 V fixed output, WDFN6 wettable flank package, dual-input (VIN/VBIAS) dropout behavior, AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, and compatibility with 2.2 µF ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The NCV8720BMT125TBG implements an NMOS pass transistor architecture powered by independent VIN and VBIAS rails-enabling ultra-low dropout (110 mV at 350 mA) while isolating control circuitry from noisy input paths. Its internal reference and error amplifier operate from VBIAS, decoupling regulation stability from VIN fluctuations.
It integrates soft-start with monotonic VOUT rise, undervoltage lockout on VBIAS (1.6 V threshold), thermal shutdown (+160 °C trip), and current limiting (420–1000 mA). The enable pin features hysteresis and supports direct tie-to-VIN/VBIAS when unused.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.25 V - factory-programmed; eliminates external feedback network and reduces BOM count. |
| Max Output Current | 350 mA continuous - sufficient for core logic rails of mid-tier FPGAs and DSPs without thermal derating under typical PCB layout. |
| VIN Dropout Voltage | 110 mV typical at 350 mA - enables operation with VIN as low as 1.36 V, critical for battery-powered systems near end-of-discharge. |
| VBIAS Dropout Voltage | 1.15 V min - requires VBIAS ≥ 2.4 V; separates bias rail design from main input, improving PSRR and noise immunity. |
| Output Accuracy | ±2% over −40 °C to +125 °C - meets automotive Grade 1 requirements for engine bay or ADAS ECU point-of-load regulation. |
| PSRR (VIN) | 65 dB at 1 kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters in post-regulation applications. |
| Output Noise | 40 µVRMS (10 Hz–100 kHz) - suitable for analog-sensitive loads like camera sensor I/O or ADC reference buffers. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.5 µA typical - enables microamp-level system sleep states in always-on automotive modules. |
Pinout & Package
NCV8720BMT125TBG is housed in a thermally enhanced WDFN6 2 mm × 2 mm package (Case 511BR) with wettable flanks for automated optical inspection. The exposed thermal pad must be soldered to the PCB ground plane to achieve RJA = 65 °C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - OUT | Regulated output voltage node | Delivers stable 1.25 V to load; connects directly to output capacitor and load without series impedance. |
| 2 - N/C | No internal connection | Unbonded pin; must remain unconnected on PCB to avoid parasitic coupling or mechanical stress. |
| 3 - EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic; drives high (>1.1 V) to enable regulation, low (<0.4 V) to enter 0.5 µA shutdown mode. |
| 4 - BIAS | Bias supply input for internal circuitry | Powers reference, error amp, and control logic; must be ≥2.4 V and ≥(VOUT + 1.4 V); monitored by UVLO. |
| 5 - GND | Analog/digital ground reference | Common return for IN, BIAS, EN, and OUT; ties to thermal pad for optimal thermal and noise performance. |
| 6 - IN | Main input voltage supply | Provides power to NMOS pass element; operates from 0.8 V to 5.5 V; dropout defined relative to OUT. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-rail NMOS architecture | Enables independent optimization of VIN path (low-noise post-regulation) and VBIAS path (stable reference), reducing sensitivity to input ripple. |
| Built-in soft-start | Monotonic VOUT rise limits inrush current to ≤100 mA + ILOAD, preventing undershoot on shared supply rails during power-up. |
| Stable with 2.2 µF ceramic capacitor | Eliminates need for large tantalum or electrolytic output caps; supports compact, high-reliability layouts in space-constrained modules. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified | Validated for −40 °C to +125 °C ambient operation with PPAP capability - suitable for front-end ADAS cameras and infotainment SoC rails. |
| Ultra-low bias current | 80 µA typical IBIAS across load and temperature - minimizes quiescent loss in battery-backed subsystems such as telematics wake-up circuits. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-dropout linear regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS7A05125PDBVR | Single-rail PMOS LDO; 200 mA max; no VBIAS pin; 170 mV dropout at 200 mA | Lacks dual-rail architecture and automotive qualification; not AEC-Q100 rated | Use only in non-automotive consumer applications where VBIAS separation and Grade 1 temp range are unnecessary. |
| NCP1117ST125T3G | Single-rail PNP-based LDO; 1 A max; 1.2 V dropout at 800 mA; no enable or soft-start | Higher dropout, no shutdown mode, no wettable flank package, not AEC-Q100 qualified | Acceptable for cost-sensitive industrial boards where thermal margin is ample and automotive compliance is not required. |

FAQ
What is the nominal output voltage of the NCV8720BMT125TBG?
The NCV8720BMT125TBG has a factory-programmed fixed output voltage of 1.25 V. This value is laser-trimmed during production and specified with ±2% accuracy over the full −40 °C to +125 °C operating temperature range. It does not support adjustable output via external resistors.
Does the NCV8720BMT125TBG require an external bias supply, and what are its requirements?
Yes, the NCV8720BMT125TBG requires a dedicated VBIAS supply connected to Pin 4. VBIAS must be between 2.4 V and 5.5 V, and at least 1.4 V above the 1.25 V output (i.e., ≥2.65 V minimum). It powers all internal control circuitry and is monitored by an undervoltage lockout circuit with 1.6 V activation threshold.
What package type and mounting requirements apply to the NCV8720BMT125TBG?
The NCV8720BMT125TBG uses the WDFN6 2 mm × 2 mm package (Case 511BR) with wettable flanks. Its exposed thermal pad must be soldered to a solid PCB ground plane to achieve the specified RJA of 65 °C/W. No thermal vias are required, but pad connectivity is mandatory for thermal and electrical performance.
Can the NCV8720BMT125TBG be used without connecting the EN pin?
Yes-the EN pin (Pin 3) may be left unconnected only if tied directly to VIN or VBIAS via a low-impedance path. Floating EN is not allowed. When tied high, the NCV8720BMT125TBG operates normally; when pulled below 0.4 V, it enters shutdown with 0.5 µA typical ground current. Hysteresis prevents chatter near the 1.1 V enable threshold.
Is the NCV8720BMT125TBG still in active production, and what is its lifecycle status?
Per onsemi's February 2026 datasheet revision, NCV8720BMT125TBG is marked as discontinued in the official ordering table. However, Aetrix Electronics maintains active inventory and supply chain support for this part, including traceable sourcing and lifecycle coordination, to serve legacy automotive and industrial designs requiring continued availability.
