NCV612SQ15T1G

Introduction

The NCV612SQ15T1G is a linear voltage regulator from the PMIC (Power Management Interface Circuit) family of voltage regulators. It is designed to provide a regulated output voltage of 5.0V, with a maximum current rating of 25mA. It is a low-dropout (LDO) regulator, meaning it can be used as a starting point to provide more precise control over output voltage than other types of regulators. The regulator also provides a thermal shutoff protection, which is a necessity in many applications.

Application Field

The NCV612SQ15T1G can be used in a wide range of applications. It is suitable for use in data centers and other IT applications, as it is capable of providing a reliable 5.0V voltage supply. It is also suitable for use in industrial and automotive applications, where it can be used to regulate the output voltage for circuit components, providing a reliable and consistent output. The regulator can also be used in applications where a low-noise supply is required, such as audio and audio-visuals systems. The NCV612SQ15T1G is also suitable for use in portable devices such as mobile phones, where its low power consumption makes it an ideal choice.

Working Principle

The NCV612SQ15T1G is a linear voltage regulator. It works by converting an input voltage of between 2.7V and 5.5V into a regulated 5.0V output voltage, through the use of an operational amplifier. This operational amplifier is used to sense any change in the input voltage. If the input voltage is greater than 5.0V, the amplifier will increase the gate voltage of the pass transistor, allowing more current to flow through the regulator and reducing the output voltage. Conversely, if the input voltage is lower than 5.0V, the gate voltage will be decreased and less current is allowed to pass through the regulator, which will result in an increase in output voltage.

The regulator is also equipped with a thermal shutoff protection feature. This feature is used to prevent the regulator from overheating, as excessive input voltage or current can lead to overheating, which can damage sensitive components. If the temperature of the regulator exceeds a maximum threshold, the thermal shutoff protection will shut down the regulator until it has cooled down to a safe temperature. This protection prevents the regulator from being damaged, ensuring it provides reliable and consistent output.

Conclusion

The NCV612SQ15T1G is a linear voltage regulator from the PMIC family of voltage regulators, designed to provide a regulated output voltage of 5.0V, with a maximum current rating of 25mA. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, including data centers, industrial and automotive applications, audio and audio-visual systems, and portable devices. The regulator works by converting an input voltage of between 2.7V and 5.5V into a regulated 5.0V output voltage, and is also equipped with a thermal shutoff protection feature to prevent the regulator from being damaged by excessive input voltage or current.
