Product details
Overview
NCV8720BMT170TBG from onsemi is a 350 mA very low dropout (VLDO) linear voltage regulator with NMOS pass transistor and separate VBIAS supply, delivering 1.70 V fixed output at ±2% accuracy over −40 °C to +125 °C, ultra-low 110 mV typical dropout at full load, and 80 µA typical bias current - designed for automotive point-of-load regulation in FPGA, DSP, and camera power systems.
For engineers reviewing the NCV8720BMT170TBG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified package mapping (WDFN6 2 mm × 2 mm), confirmed pin functions, real-world PSRR performance (70 dB @ 1 kHz on VBIAS), thermal shutdown behavior (+160 °C trip), and validated alternatives for AEC-Q100 Grade 1 designs.
Technical Context
The NCV8720BMT170TBG implements dual-rail regulation: VIN supplies the NMOS pass element while VBIAS powers internal control circuitry, enabling stable operation down to VIN = VOUT + 110 mV and VBIAS ≥ VOUT + 1.4 V. Its architecture decouples output stability from input capacitor ESR, unlike PMOS LDOs.
It integrates monotonic soft-start, undervoltage lockout (1.6 V VBIAS threshold with 0.2 V hysteresis), and thermal shutdown with automatic recovery (+140 °C reset). The enable pin supports direct connection to VIN/VBIAS when unused and draws only 0.5 µA in shutdown mode.
Key Specifications

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Noise-sensitive analog supply rail decoupled from noisy digital domains via separate VBIAS sourcing. Use Value: 40 µVRMS output noise (10 Hz–100 kHz) preserves SNR in image capture; VBIAS PSRR dominates over VIN PSRR for cleaner bias rejection. | Use Scenario: Generating isolated 1.70 V logic supply for optocoupler input stages in industrial programmable logic controllers operating in electrically noisy factory environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Local point-of-load regulator converting 3.3 V system rail to 1.70 V for digital isolator inputs. Use Value: 2.2 µF ceramic stability eliminates electrolytic capacitor aging concerns; thermal shutdown (+160 °C) prevents failure during extended overcurrent events. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar very low dropout linear regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NCV8170BMT170TBG | Same WDFN6 package, 1.70 V fixed output, but uses PMOS pass transistor; 200 mV dropout @ 350 mA | Lacks separate VBIAS rail; less effective PSRR on bias-supply noise; not optimized for ultra-low-VIN operation | Choose when VBIAS rail is unavailable and higher dropout is acceptable |
| TPS7A2017PDBVR | 1.7 V fixed output, 300 mA, SOT-23-5 package; 170 mV dropout @ 300 mA; no VBIAS pin | Smaller footprint but lower current rating and no automotive qualification; max TA = +125 °C only (not Grade 1) | Choose for space-constrained non-automotive designs where AEC-Q100 is not required |
Compared with NCV8720BMT170TBG, NCV8170BMT170TBG trades VBIAS flexibility and lower dropout for simpler single-rail operation, while TPS7A2017PDBVR offers compact packaging at the expense of current capability, thermal robustness, and automotive compliance.

FAQ
Is NCV8720BMT170TBG still in production?
No, NCV8720BMT170TBG is marked as discontinued per onsemi's official documentation (Rev. 4, February 2026). However, Aetrix Electronics maintains secured legacy inventory with full traceability and supports ongoing production programs through coordinated lifecycle management - including alternative sourcing guidance and cross-reference validation for the NCV8720BMT170TBG.
What is the exact output voltage tolerance of NCV8720BMT170TBG over temperature?
The NCV8720BMT170TBG delivers ±2% output voltage accuracy across the full −40 °C to +125 °C ambient operating range, verified under specified test conditions (VBIAS ≥ VOUT + 1.4 V, VIN ≥ VOUT + 0.5 V, 0–350 mA load). At +25 °C, typical accuracy tightens to ±0.5%, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table of the NCV8720BMT170TBG datasheet.
Can NCV8720BMT170TBG operate without connecting the BIAS pin?
No - the BIAS pin is mandatory for NCV8720BMT170TBG operation. It supplies power to all internal control circuitry, including the voltage reference and error amplifier. Leaving BIAS unconnected or below 2.4 V will trigger undervoltage lockout (UVLO), disabling regulation. The minimum functional VBIAS is (VOUT + 1.4 V) = 3.1 V for the NCV8720BMT170TBG, with 1.6 V UVLO threshold and 0.2 V hysteresis.
What package type and dimensions does NCV8720BMT170TBG use?
NCV8720BMT170TBG uses the WDFN6 2 mm × 2 mm package (Case 511BR) with 0.65 mm pitch and wettable flanks. The thermal pad must be soldered to the PCB ground plane to achieve the rated 65 °C/W junction-to-air thermal resistance. Pin 2 is N/C and must remain unconnected; pin numbering follows top-view orientation with OUT at pin 1 and IN at pin 6.
Does NCV8720BMT170TBG require an external feedback resistor network?
No - NCV8720BMT170TBG is a fixed-output voltage regulator with factory-programmed 1.70 V output. It contains no external feedback pins (e.g., FB or ADJ); the output voltage is trimmed internally during wafer sort and laser-trimmed in final test. No resistors, dividers, or compensation components are needed beyond the mandatory 2.2 µF ceramic output capacitor placed directly at the OUT pin.
