Historical Stock Chart
2 Years : From Jun 2011 to Jun 2013
ON Semiconductor (Nasdaq: ONNN),
a premier supplier of high performance silicon solutions for energy
efficient electronics, has announced two new low
dropout (LDO) voltage regulator ICs. Building on the company’s
market-leading power management portfolio for automotive applications,
the new devices are ideal for use in audio and infotainment systems,
instrument cluster, navigation and satellite radio.
The new NCV47700
and NCV47701
LDOs feature an output diagnostic pin CSO that can be used to detect
open and shorted loads. Using a resistor connected to the CSO provides
an adjustable output current level between 10 milliamperes (mA) and 350
mA with ±10% accuracy. Tying the ADJ pin to ground configures the
NCV47700 and NCV47701 to be a current limited high-side switch. High
peak input voltage tolerance and reverse input voltage protection, as
well as overcurrent and overtemperature protection functions are all
included to safeguard against the effects of the harsh operating
conditions typical of automotive applications. An integrated current
sense feature negates the need to implement a discrete solution that
would use more board space and raise the total component count.
Adjustable output voltage versions of the devices are available; these
cover the 5 volt (V) to 20 V range, with ± 6% accuracy for the NCV47700
and ± 3% accuracy for the NCV47701. Both new LDO voltage regulator ICs
have a junction operating temperature range of -40 ⁰C to +150 ⁰C, that
matches or exceeds the specifications stipulated by the automotive
industry.
“These feature-packed LDOs are differentiated from alternative market
offerings by integrated current sensing functionality and an array of
protection mechanisms,” said Jim Alvernaz, director of the Automotive
product division at ON Semiconductor. “The devices enable electronic
design engineers to implement power management subsystem diagnostics,
without the employment of a discrete current measurement circuit or
additional protection components. This leads to improved power
regulation in the audio/infotainment systems, instrumentation clusters
and navigation systems found in modern vehicles.”
Packaging and Pricing
The NCV47700 is offered in a SOIC−8 package and priced at $0.72 per unit
in 2,500 unit quantities, while the NCV47701 is offered in SOIC−8
package and priced at $0.77 per unit in 2,500 unit quantities.
