NCP59749
3.0 A, Dual-Rail Very
Low‐Dropout Linear
Regulator with
Programmable Soft‐Start
The NCP59749 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 120 mV typ. at full load current. The devices are
stable with ceramic and any other type of output capacitor
≥
2.2
mF.
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 NCP59749 is available in QFN20 5x5 package.

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. A small capacitor (total typical capacitance
≥
2.2
mF,
ceramic) is needed from
this pin to ground to assure stability.

Stresses exceeding those listed in the Maximum Ratings table may damage the device. If any of these limits are exceeded, device functionality
should not be assumed, damage may occur and reliability may be affected.
1. Refer to ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS and APPLICATION INFORMATION for Safe Operating Area.
2. This device series incorporates ESD protection and is tested by the following methods:
ESD Human Body Model tested per EIA/JESD22-A114

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:
−
This data was 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.
−
The exposed pad is connected to the PCB ground 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−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.
