Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number suffix matches the required package type and temperature rating. Confirm AEC-Q100 qualification status if automotive compliance is mandatory. Ensure the ordering code corresponds to the exact output voltage variant needed for the design.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Selection Notes

Select this component when ultra-low standby power is critical for extending battery life. The integrated active discharge helps reduce system power consumption during sleep modes. Verify that the input voltage remains within the specified operating range for stable regulation.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Part Context

This device belongs to the NCV8170 series of linear regulators from onsemi. The series offers various fixed output voltages ranging from 1.2 V to 3.6 V. The 'NCV' prefix indicates automotive-grade qualification, while the 'MX' suffix denotes the XDFN4 surface-mount package.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Replacement Considerations

Other variants within the NCV8170 series may serve as substitutes if different output voltages are acceptable. Non-automotive versions like the NCP170 share similar electrical characteristics but lack specific automotive qualification requirements.
