Product details
Overview
NCV890100PDR2G from onsemi is an AEC-Q100 qualified automotive buck switching regulator with internal N-channel power switch, 2 MHz fixed-frequency operation, 4.5 V to 36 V input range, and 1.2 A output capability. It delivers stable 3.3 V or 5 V outputs for driver information systems while operating above the AM band to avoid EMI filters.
For engineers reviewing the NCV890100PDR2G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its wettable-flank DFN8 package, ±1.75% output voltage tolerance, 1.4 ms internal soft-start, VIN frequency foldback (18.4 V threshold), and thermal shutdown with 150 °C activation.
Technical Context
The NCV890100PDR2G implements current-mode control with integrated slope compensation optimized for a 4.7 µH inductor, enabling stable operation at duty cycles >50%. Its oscillator features automatic frequency foldback-reducing switching frequency from 2 MHz to 500 kHz when VIN exceeds 18.4 V-to maintain regulation under high-input transients like load dump.
It integrates a bootstrap gate driver (DRV pin regulated to 3.3 V) and monitors FB for precharge detection (35 mV threshold) before soft-start initiation. Protection includes cycle-by-cycle peak current limit (1.4 A min), short-circuit foldback (400–600 kHz), and thermal shutdown with 20 °C hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 36 V - supports full automotive battery range including cold-crank (4.5 V) and load dump (40 V withstand) |
| Output Current | 1.2 A continuous - sufficient for infotainment SoCs and display power rails |
| Switching Frequency | 2 MHz (typ.) - places fundamental noise above AM band (1.6–3.0 MHz), eliminating need for bulky EMI filters |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±1.75% - ensures tight regulation for sensitive audio and vision system analog supplies |
| Enable Input Logic | TTL-compatible, direct-battery-tieable - simplifies system-level power sequencing without level-shifting |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150 °C activation with 20 °C hysteresis - prevents latch-up during sustained overload or poor heatsinking |
| Quiescent Current (enabled) | 3 mA - enables low-power always-on subsystems without excessive battery drain |
Pinout & Package
NCV890100PDR2G uses a wettable-flank DFN8 (3 mm × 3 mm, 0.65 mm pitch, Case 506BY) with exposed thermal pad electrically connected to GND. The package supports automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder joints and provides low thermal resistance (50 °C/W junction-to-ambient on 4-layer PCB).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 1) | Main input supply connection | Accepts 4.5–36 V; requires local ceramic input capacitor to minimize high-frequency ripple and EMI |
| DRV (Pin 2) | Internal gate driver output | Supplies regulated 3.3 V to external bootstrap capacitor; UVLO thresholds ensure reliable high-side FET turn-on |
| GND (Pin 3) | Power and signal ground reference | Must be tied to exposed pad; forms low-inductance return path for switch node current and improves thermal dissipation |
| EN (Pin 4) | Logic-level enable input | Active-high; 2 V min logic high allows direct connection to battery or MCU GPIO without pull-up |
| COMP (Pin 5) | Error amplifier output | Connects to RC network for loop compensation; transconductance (0.6–1.5 mS) sets bandwidth and phase margin |
| FB (Pin 6) | Feedback voltage sense input | Monitors output via resistor divider; 0.8 V reference enables adjustable outputs down to 0.8 V |
| BST (Pin 7) | Bootstrap supply input | Charges external capacitor to generate gate drive voltage >VIN for low RDS(on) operation |
| SW (Pin 8) | Power switch node | Connects to inductor and freewheeling diode cathode; high dv/dt demands tight layout to reduce EMI |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wettable Flanks DFN8 | Enables AOI-capable solder joint inspection and improves reliability in automotive thermal cycling |
| 2 MHz Free-running Oscillator | Eliminates external timing components and avoids AM band interference without added filtering cost |
| Frequency Foldback (18.4 V threshold) | Maintains regulation during 24 V system transients by halving switching frequency to preserve minimum off-time |
| Output Precharge Detection (35 mV threshold) | Prevents false start by verifying SW node discharge before soft-start, avoiding bootstrap capacitor stress |
| 1.4 ms Internal Soft-Start | Controls inrush current into output capacitors, preventing input brownout and protecting downstream loads |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 Qualified | Validated for −40 °C to +125 °C ambient operation with PPAP documentation support for automotive OEMs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPQ4420AGL-A-Z | 2.2 MHz switching, 2 A output, no integrated BST diode; requires external bootstrap diode | Higher current capability but lacks precharge detection and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 validation | Preferred for non-automotive industrial designs needing >1.2 A; not drop-in for NCV890100PDR2G due to different pinout and protection set |
| TPS54202HDDCR | 2.5 MHz, 2 A, integrated MOSFETs, but only rated to 17 V input and not AEC-Q100 qualified | Lacks load-dump tolerance and automotive temperature range; suited for consumer-grade infotainment accessories | Consider for cost-sensitive non-safety applications where 36 V input and Grade 1 qualification are unnecessary |
Compared with MPQ4420AGL-A-Z and TPS54202HDDCR, the NCV890100PDR2G uniquely combines AEC-Q100 Grade 1 compliance, 36 V input rating with 40 V transient tolerance, and integrated precharge detection-making it the only option qualified for front-camera and instrument cluster primary power in production vehicles.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the NCV890100PDR2G can withstand during load dump events?
The NCV890100PDR2G is specified to withstand up to 40 V on the VIN pin during automotive load dump transients, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This rating is validated per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a and ensures reliable operation without external clamping in 12 V and 24 V vehicle architectures.
Does the NCV890100PDR2G require an external bootstrap diode?
No, the NCV890100PDR2G does not require an external bootstrap diode. Its internal DRV pin provides a regulated 3.3 V supply to charge the external bootstrap capacitor (CBST), and the IC integrates all necessary gate drive circuitry for the internal N-channel power switch.
What is the purpose of the FB pin's precharge detection function in the NCV890100PDR2G?
The FB pin precharge detection in the NCV890100PDR2G monitors for residual output voltage before initiating soft-start. If the FB voltage exceeds 35 mV (VSSEN), startup is delayed until the output discharges-preventing damage to the bootstrap capacitor and ensuring safe initial gate drive voltage establishment.
Can the NCV890100PDR2G operate with a 4.7 µH inductor and all-ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, the NCV890100PDR2G is explicitly optimized for a 4.7 µH inductor and all-ceramic output filter capacitors, as stated in the datasheet's DESIGN METHODOLOGY section. This combination enables compact, low-ripple, EMI-efficient designs without electrolytic or tantalum components.
Is the NCV890100PDR2G pin-compatible with other devices in the NCV890xxx family?
No, the NCV890100PDR2G is not pin-compatible with other NCV890xxx variants such as NCV890200. Pin assignments-including COMP, FB, and BST-are identical across the family, but the NCV890100PDR2G has unique internal compensation and current-limit settings; substitution requires validation of loop stability and protection behavior.
