NCV8668
Very Low Iq 150 mA LDO
Regulator with Window
Watchdog, Enable and
Reset
The NCV8668 is 150 mA LDO regulator with integrated window
watchdog and reset functions dedicated for microprocessor
applications. Its robustness allows NCV8668 to be used in severe
automotive environments. Very low quiescent current as low as 38 mA
typical makes it suitable for applications permanently connected to
battery requiring very low quiescent current with or without load. The
Enable function can be used for further decrease of quiescent current
down to 1 mA.
The NCV8668 contains protection functions as current limit and
thermal shutdown.

DEFINITIONS
General
All measurements are performed using short pulse low duty
cycle techniques to maintain junction temperature as close
as possible to ambient temperature.
Output Voltage
The output voltage parameter is defined for specific
temperature, input voltage and output current values or
specified over Line, Load and Temperature ranges.
Line Regulation
The change in output voltage for a change in input voltage
measured for specific output current over operating ambient
temperature range.
Load Regulation
The change in output voltage for a change in output current
measured for specific input voltage over operating ambient
temperature range.
Dropout Voltage
The input to output differential at which the regulator output
no longer maintains regulation against further reductions in
input voltage. It is measured when the output drops 100 mV
below its nominal value. The junction temperature, load
current, and minimum input supply requirements affect the
dropout level.
Quiescent Currents
Quiescent Current (Iq) is the difference between the input
current (measured through the LDO input pin) and the
output current.
Current Limit and Short Circuit Current Limit
Current Limit is value of output current by which output
voltage drops below 96% of its nominal value. Short Circuit
Current Limit is output current value measured with output
of the regulator shorted to ground.
PSRR
Power Supply Rejection Ratio is defined as ratio of output
voltage and input voltage ripple. It is measured in decibels
(dB).
Line Transient Response
Typical output voltage overshoot and undershoot response
when the input voltage is excited with a given slope.
Load Transient Response
Typical output voltage overshoot and undershoot response
when the output current is excited with a given slope
between lowload and highload conditions.
Thermal Protection
Internal thermal shutdown circuitry is provided to protect
the integrated circuit in the event that the maximum junction
temperature is exceeded. When activated at typically 175°C,
the regulator turns off. This feature is provided to prevent
failures from accidental overheating.
Maximum Package Power Dissipation
The power dissipation level is maximum allowed power
dissipation for particular package or power dissipation at
which the junction temperature reaches its maximum
operating value, whichever is lower.
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The NCV8668 regulator is selfprotected with internal
thermal shutdown and internal current limit. Typical
characteristics are shown in Figures 4 to 27.
Input Decoupling (Cin)
A ceramic or tantalum 0.1 mF capacitor is recommended
and should be connected close to the NCV8668 package.
Higher capacitance and lower ESR will improve the overall
line and load transient response.
If extremely fast input voltage transients are expected then
appropriate input filter must be used in order to decrease
rising and/or falling edges below 50 V/ms for proper
operation. The filter can be composed of several capacitors
in parallel.
Output Decoupling (Cout)
The NCV8668 is a stable component and does not require
a minimum Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) for the
output capacitor. Stability region of ESR versus Output
Current is shown in Figure 13. The minimum output
decoupling value is 2.2 mF and can be augmented to fulfill
stringent load transient requirements. The regulator works
with ceramic chip capacitors as well as tantalum devices.
Larger values improve noise rejection and load regulation
transient response.
Enable Operation
The Enable pin will turn the regulator on or off. The
threshold limits are covered in the electrical characteristics
table in this data sheet.
Reset Operation
A reset signal is provided on the Reset Output (RO) pin to
provide feedback to the microprocessor of an out of
regulation condition. The timing diagram of reset function
is shown in Figure 24. This is in the form of a logic signal on
RO. Output voltage conditions below the RESET threshold
cause RO to go low. The RO integrity is maintained down
to VOUT = 1.0 V. The Reset Output (RO) circuitry includes
NCV8668
http://onsemi.com
14
a pullup resistor (30 kW) internally connected to the output
(VOUT). No external pullup is necessary.
For voltage option 3.3 V RO is open drain output and
external pullup resistor is required.
Reset signal is also generated in case when input voltage
decreases below its minimum operating limit (4.5 V). The
Input Voltage Reset Threshold is typically 3.8 V. This
applies only to voltage options with nominal value below
minimum operating input voltage (3.3 V).
Window Watchdog Operation
The watchdog slow, fast or off state is set by pins WM1
and WM2 (see table in Figure 25). The timing values used
in this description refer to typ. Values when WM1 and WM2
are connected to GND (fast watchdog and reset timing). The
state diagram of the window watchdog (WWD) and the
watchdog and reset mode selection table is shown in
Figure 25. The WWD timing is shown in Figure 26. After
poweron, the reset output signal at the RO pin
(microprocessor reset) is kept LOW for the reset delay time
tRD (16 ms). RO signal transition from LOW to HIGH
triggers the ignore window (IW) with duration of tIW
(32 ms). During this window the signal at the WDI pin is
ignored. When IW ends a long open window with maximum
duration of (128 ms, tmax = 4xtOW) is started. When a valid
trigger signal is detected during long open window, a closed
window (CW) with duration of tCW (32 ms) is initialized
immediately. WDI signal transition from HIGH to LOW is
taken as a trigger. As valid trigger two HIGH samples
followed by two LOW samples (with sampling time tsam =
0.5 ms) have to be present before end of the long window.
Valid WDI trigger signal is shown in Figure 27. When CW
ends a standard open window (OW) with maximum duration
of tOW (32 ms) is initiated immediately. The OW ends
immediately when valid trigger appears at WDI input. For
normal operation the microprocessor timing of WDI pulses
must be stable and correspond to tWD. A reset signal is
generated (RO goes LOW) if there is no valid trigger
(missing pulse at WDI pin) during OW or if a pretrigger
occurs during the CW (unexpected pulse at WDI pin).
Thermal Considerations
As power in the NCV8668 increases, it might become
necessary to provide some thermal relief. The maximum
power dissipation supported by the device is dependent
upon board design and layout. Mounting pad configuration
on the PCB, the board material, and the ambient temperature
affect the rate of junction temperature rise for the part. When
the NCV8668 has good thermal conductivity through the
PCB, the junction temperature will be relatively low with
high power applications. The maximum dissipation the
NCV8668 can handle is given by:
PD(MAX) +ƪTJ(MAX) *TAƫ
RqJA
(eq. 1)
Since TJ is not recommended to exceed 150°C, then the
NCV8668 soldered on 645 mm2, 1 oz copper area, FR4 can
dissipate up to 1.3 W for SOIC14 package when the
ambient temperature (TA) is 25°C. See Figure 28 for RqJA
versus PCB area. The power dissipated by the NCV8668 can
be calculated from the following equations:
PD+VinǒIq@IoutǓ)IoutǒVin *VoutǓ(eq. 2)
or
Vin(MAX) +
PD(MAX) )ǒVout IoutǓ
Iout )Iq
(eq. 3)

Hints
Vin and GND printed circuit board traces should be as
wide as possible. When the impedance of these traces is
high, there is a chance to pick up noise or cause the regulator
to malfunction. Place external components, especially the
output capacitor, as close as possible to the NCV8668, and
make traces as short as possible.
