NCP59744
3.0 A, Dual-Rail Very
Low-Dropout Linear
Regulator with
Programmable Soft-Start
The NCP59744 is dual−rail very low dropout voltage regulator that
is capable of providing an output current in excess of 3.0 A with a
dropout voltage of 95 mV typ. at full load current. The devices are
stable with ceramic and other low ESR output capacitors. This series
contains adjustable output voltage version with output voltage down
to 0.8 V. Internal protection features consist of built−in thermal
shutdown and output current limiting protection. User−programmable
Soft−Start and Power Good pins are available. The NCP59744 is
offered in DFN10 3x3 and QFN20 5x5 packages.

Unregulated input to the device.
Enable pin. Driving this pin high enables the regulator. Driving this pin low puts the
regulator into shutdown mode. This pin must not be left floating.
Soft−Start pin. A capacitor connected on this pin to ground sets the start−up time. If
this pin is left floating, the regulator output soft−start ramp time is typically 200
ms.
Bias input voltage for error amplifier, reference, and internal control circuits.
Power−Good (PG) is an open−drain, active−high output that indicates the status of
V
OUT
. When V
OUT
exceeds the PG trip threshold, the PG pin goes into a
high−impedance state. When V
OUT
is below this threshold the pin is driven to a
low−impedance state. A pull−up resistor from 10 kW to 1 MW should be connected
from this pin to a supply up to 5.5 V. The supply can be higher than the input voltage.
Alternatively, the PG pin can be left floating if output monitoring is not necessary.
This pin is the feedback connection to the center tap of an external resistor divider
network that sets the output voltage. This pin must not be left floating.
Regulated output voltage. It is recommended that the output capacitor
≥

3. Refer to ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS and APPLICATION INFORMATION for Safe Operating Area.
4. Thermal data are derived by thermal simulations based on methodology specified in the JEDEC JESD51 series standards. The following
assumptions are used in the simulations:
− These data were generated with only a single device at the center of a high−K (2s2p) board with 3 in x 3 in copper area which follows the
JEDEC51.7 guidelines. Top and Bottom layer 2 oz. copper, inner planes 1 oz. copper.
− DFN10: The exposed pad is connected to the PCB ground inner layer through a 3x2 thermal via array. Vias are 0.3 mm diameter, plated.
Each of top and bottom copper layers are assumed to have thermal conductivity representing 20% copper coverage.
− QFN20: The exposed pad is connected to the PCB ground inner layer through a 4x4 thermal via array. Vias are 0.3 mm diameter, plated.
Each of top and bottom copper layers has a dedicated pattern for 20% copper coverage.
5. The junction−to−ambient thermal resistance under natural convection is obtained in a simulation on a high−K board, following the JEDEC51.7
guidelines with assumptions as above, in an environment described in JESD51−2a.
6. The junction−to−board thermal resistance is simulated in an environment with a ring cold plate fixture to control the PCB temperature, as
described in JESD51−8.
7. The junction−to−case (bottom) thermal resistance is obtained by simulating a cold plate test on the IC exposed pad. Test description can
be found in the ANSI SEMI standard G30−88.
