NCV8881
1.5A Automotive Buck
Regulator with Watchdog
The NCV8881 consists of a Buck switching regulator (SMPS) with
a combination SMPS output undervoltage monitor and CPU watchdog
circuit. In addition, two fixed−voltage low dropout regulator outputs
are provided, and share an LDO output voltage status output. Once
enabled, regulator operation continues until the Watchdog signal is no
longer present. The NCV8881 is intended for Automotive,
battery−connected applications that must withstand a 40 V load dump.
The switching regulator is capable of converting the typical 9 V to
19 V automotive input voltage range to outputs from 3.3 V to 8 V at a
constant switching frequency, which can be resistor programmed or
synchronized to an external clock signal. Enable input threshold and
hysteresis are programmable, with the enable input state replicated at
an open drain Ignition Buffer output. The regulators are protected by
current limiting, input overvoltage and overtemperature shutdown, as
well as SMPS short circuit shutdown.

Specific Notes on Thermal Characterization Conditions:
NOTE:
All boards are 0.062” thick FR4, 3” square, with varying amounts of copper heat spreader, in still air (free convection) conditions.
Numerical values are derived from an axisymmetric finite−element model where active die area, total die area, flag area, pad area,
and board area are equated to the actual corresponding areas.
1. 1 oz. copper, 17.2 mm2 spreader area (minimum exposed pad, not including traces which are assumed).
2. 1 oz. copper, 645 mm2 (1 in2) spreader area (includes exposed pad).
3. “Board” is defined as center of exposed pad soldered to board; this is the recommended number to be used for thermal calculations, as it
best represents the primary heat flow path and is least sensitive to board and ambient properties.

PIN FUNCTION DESCRIPTIONS

Symbol
1
IGNBUF
2
WDI
CMOS compatible Watchdog pulse input from a CPU. To be valid, the time between falling edges of this
signal must be less than the programmed Watchdog Delay.
3
RDLY
Delay programming pin for POR, BOOT and Watchdog delays. Connect a resistor between this pin and
ground.
4
RESB
This is an open drain output for resetting a CPU. RESB goes low if the WDI signal period is longer than
the programmed Watchdog delay, if VIN is above or below operating voltage, if the SMPS output is out of
regulation, or if the part is in thermal shutdown.
5
EN
Logic compatible Enable input. Once a high is received at the EN pin, the part enters a startup
sequence. Until expiration of the Soft−Start Timer, a low at the EN pin will shut off the part. Upon
expiration of the Soft−Start Timer, a low at the EN pin will shut the part off only if the SMPS output is out
of regulation, or the signal at the WDI input is not valid.
6
SYNC
Logic compatible Synchronization input. Grounding this input allows a resistor between the ROSC pin
and ground to control the switching frequency. Connecting this pin to an external clock synchronizes
switching to the rising edge of the clock.
7
ROSC
Oscillator frequency programming pin. Connect an external resistor from this pin to GND to set the
switching frequency. Leave this pin floating to operate at the default frequency of the internal oscillator.
Switching frequency is not controlled by this resistance if a clock is present at the SYNC pin, but the
resistance remains in control of the modulator ramp amplitude.

BST
Bootstrap input provides drive voltage higher than VIN to the SMPS N−channel Power Switch for
minimum switch RDS(on) and highest efficiency. For a typical application connect a 0.1 mF ceramic
capacitor from this pin to the SW pin, in close proximity to both pins.
12
SW
Switching node of the Switching Regulator. Connect the SMPS output inductor and cathode of the SMPS
freewheeling diode to this pin.
13
VIN
Input voltage from battery. Place an input filter capacitor in close proximity to this pin.
14
8P5
Output of the internal 8.5 V linear regulator. This provides regulated gate drive voltage to the SMPS
Power Switch. For a typical application connect a 4.7 mF ceramic capacitor in series with 0.5 W from this
pin to ground.

Description
This open drain output is pulled low whenever the EN signal is latched and a low level is recognized at
the EN input.
Battery return, and ground reference for output voltages.
Switching Regulator Error Amplifier output for tailoring SMPS transient response with external
compensation components.
Feedback input pin to program Switching Regulator output voltage, and detect a low or shorted SMPS
output condition.
This open drain output is pulled low if either the 5P0 or 8P5 output is out of regulation.
Output of the internal 5 V linear regulator. For a typical application connect a 4.7 mF ceramic capacitor in
series with 0.5 W from this pin to ground.
Solder this to a low thermal impedance path for cooling.

reset, and the LDOs are shut off. Upon dropping below the
VOVSTT threshold, the LDOs will powerup and the SMPS
will begin a soft−start sequence regardless of the state of the
EN signal.
VIN is the power supply input for all NCV8881 functions.
Prior to the appearance of a valid high at the Enable input
(EN pin), VIN voltage above the VSTRT threshold produces
a low level at the Reset output (RESB).
STATE DIAGRAM
INPUT UNDERVOLTAGE SHUTDOWN
Figure 41 shows the State Diagram for the NCV8881.
States within numbered ellipses have common responses
(such as to input overvoltage and high temperature
shutdown) which force an exit from all states within.
An Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) circuit monitors the
voltage at the VIN pin. If the voltage is below the VSTP
threshold it pulls RESB low, inhibits switching, and shuts
down the LDOs.
INPUT OVERVOLTAGE SHUTDOWN
If input voltage is above the VOVSTP threshold, RESB is
pulled low, switching is inhibited, the Soft−start circuit is

ENABLE (EN PIN)
After VIN rises above VSTRT, EN below VENSTHL will
maintain a standby mode which keeps the switching
regulator, Watchdog Circuit, and LDO outputs off, and
minimizes supply current. In this state the RESB output is
low. A high logic level at the EN input activates all functions.
Upon EN exceeding VENSTHH, 5P0 and 8P5 voltages are
established, followed by soft−start of the switching

regulator. Once either the 5P0 or 8P5 LDO reaches
regulation, EN dropping below VENSTHL has no effect until
the SS Timer expires. Thereafter, if the SMPS output voltage
is out of regulation, or WDI pulse period exceeds the
Watchdog Delay time tWD, EN below VENSTHL puts the
part in standby mode.

Figure 44. Enable Input Hysteresis Mechanism
When the EN pin is below VENSTHL, RHYST is in
parallel with RPDOWN making the internal resistance from
the EN pin to ground lower than when the EN pin is above
VENSTHH. This produces hysteresis in the Enable function
when there is resistance between the source of the Enable
signal and the EN pin. A resistive divider from the Enable
signal source to the EN pin (Figure 44) allows a wide range
of activation/deactivation voltages. Note that this divider is
also used in conjunction with an internal zener clamp to keep
the EN pin voltage below the maximum voltage rating when
battery is the enable signal. Given the lowest voltage that
must enable the part VIHMIN, and the highest voltage that
must disable the part VILMAX the divider resistor values
are:
R1 = 0.7874 * (VILMAX – 1.27)/(0.0005556 * 1/R2) [kW]
[R2 in kW]
R2 = 1800*(1.2283 * VILMAX − VIHMIN )/( VIHMIN –
86.823 * VILMAX + 108.7) [kW]

IGNITION BUFFER
8P5 OUTPUT
The Ignition Buffer output IGNBUF reports the EN pin
voltage level (high or low) detected by the EN input circuitry
when the EN signal is latched. The NCV8881 will pull the
IGNBUF output low if the Enable signal is low, and release
the IGNBUF output if the Enable signal is high. The
IGNBUF output is an open drain device which requires an
external pullup resistor to a logic supply. IGNBUF is no
longer controlled by EN when EN transitions low if the EN
signal is not latched.
The regulated voltage provided by the 8P5 output is used
to power the internal gate drive circuitry, but can also
provide current to modest external circuit loads that can
tolerate significant spike noise at the SMPS switching
frequency.
CURRENT LIMIT
8P5 output current is limited above the specified output
current capability in order to limit inrush current at turn−on
and also minimize power dissipation in the event of an
output short circuit.
THERMAL SHUTDOWN
A thermal shutdown circuit will inhibit switching, reset
the Soft−start circuit, and power down the 5P0 and 8P5
outputs if internal die temperature exceeds a safe level.
Operation is automatically restored when die temperature
has dropped below the thermal restart threshold regardless
of the state of the EN signal.
Either the 8P5 output voltage must exceed V8UVSTT or the
5P0 output voltage must exceed V5UVSTT before the SMPS
will begin soft−start. The LDOMON output will be pulled
low if the 8P5 output voltage is below V8UVSTP.
5P0 OUTPUT
OUTPUT OVERVOLTAGE CLAMP
OUTPUT UNDERVOLTAGE MONITOR
If current is forced into the 8P5 output, a clamp will limit
the voltage in order to protect the gate driver circuit from
excessive voltage.
CURRENT LIMIT
5P0 output current is limited above the specified output
current capability in order to limit inrush current at turn−on
and also minimize power dissipation in the event of an
output short circuit.
STABILITY CONSIDERATIONS
The output capacitor helps determine three main
performance characteristics of a linear regulator: starting
delay, load transient response, and loop stability. The
optimum capacitor type and value will depend on these three
characteristics, as well as cost, availability, size and
temperature constraints. Tantalum, aluminum electrolytic,
film, and ceramic are all acceptable capacitor types for most
applications. Values of 1 mF or more work in many cases,
however attention must be paid to the Equivalent Series
Resistance (ESR). Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are the
least expensive solution but both the value and ESR of this
type of capacitor change considerably at low temperatures
(−25°C or −40°C). The capacitor manufacturer’s data sheet
must be consulted for this information. Stability under all
load and temperature conditions is guaranteed by a capacitor
value greater than or equal to 4.7 mF and ESR between 0.2 W
and 5 W.
OUTPUT UNDERVOLTAGE MONITOR
Either the 5P0 output voltage must exceed V5UVSTT or the
8P5 output voltage must exceed V8UVSTT before the SMPS
will begin soft−start. If the output is below V5UVSTP, the
LDOMON output will be pulled low.
STABILITY CONSIDERATIONS
The output capacitor helps determine three main
performance characteristics of a linear regulator: starting
delay, load transient response, and loop stability. The
optimum capacitor type and value will depend on these three
characteristics, as well as cost, availability, size and
temperature constraints. Tantalum, aluminum electrolytic,
film, and ceramic are all acceptable capacitor types for most
applications. Values of 1 mF or more work in many cases,
however attention must be paid to the Equivalent Series
Resistance (ESR). Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are the
least expensive solution but both the value and ESR of this
type of capacitor change considerably at low temperatures
(−25°C or −40°C). The capacitor manufacturer’s data sheet
must be consulted for this information. Stability under all
load and temperature conditions is guaranteed by a capacitor
value greater than or equal to 4.7 mF and ESR between 0.2
and 5 W.
Besides powering external loads, the 5P0 output can be
used to provide a regulated voltage to an ROSC pullup
resistor as a convenient way to decrease the factory−set
switching frequency.
SMPS OPERATION
LDO OUTPUT UNDERVOLTAGE MONITOR
Besides requiring the input voltage to be above VSTRT
and the EN input to be above VENSTHH, either the 5P0
output voltage must exceed V5UVSTT or the 8P5 output
voltage must exceed V8UVSTT before the SMPS will begin
soft−start.

conditions, and after one of the LDO outputs reaches

overloading the input supply.
programmed switching frequency should be no higher than
the highest synchronization frequency if synchronization is
used.
VOLTAGE REFERENCE
SMPS SYNCHRONIZATION
An internal, temperature compensated Bandgap voltage
reference provides the SMPS Error Amplifier and the 5P0
and 8P5 linear regulators with a stable, precision reference
voltage.
Applying a clock signal to the SYNC pin will cause power
switch turn−on edges to coincide with rising edges of the
applied clock signal. When synchronization will be
significantly higher than the default frequency, an ROSC
resistor which sets the internal oscillator frequency at (but
no higher than) the synchronization frequency can be used
to maintain the switching frequency approximately the same
as the synchronization frequency in the absence of the
SYNC signal.
Besides controlling the switching frequency, the ROSC
resistor controls the internal ramp slope, and can be used to
adjust the gain of the pulse width modulator.
A steady low or high SYNC input will restore SMPS
operation to the factory−set default or ROSC programmed
frequency after the De−synchronization delay.
SMPS ERROR AMPLIFIER
The error amplifier is an operational amplifier. The
Voltage Mode control method employed by the NCV8881
requires Type III compensation for optimum regulator
response to load and line transients.
The output voltage of the error amplifier controls the duty
cycle of the power switch by controlling the moment at
which the power switch shuts off (power switch turn−ons
occur at a fixed rate).
SMPS OSCILLATOR
With no connections to the ROSC or SYNC pins, the
NCV8881 switching frequency will be the factory−set
default frequency fOSC of the internal oscillator.
OUTPUT VOLTAGE REGULATION MONITOR
When the FB voltage is below VFBMONL, RESB is pulled
low, and the POR, BOOT and Watchdog Delays are
initialized. When FB voltage exceeds VFBMONH the POR
Delay begins to time out. If, when the FB voltage is below
VFBMONL, the Soft−Start Timer has expired and the EN
input is low, the NCV8881 will completely shut off (see
Figures 46 through 48).
ROSC SMPS FREQUENCY CONTROL
Connection of a resistor between the ROSC pin and
ground will raise the switching frequency above the
factory−set default according to the following equation.

WATCHDOG
Watchdog Delay period is initiated. Otherwise the
NCV8881 enters another POR Delay period and the RESB
pin is pulled low, while the SMPS and LDO outputs continue
to regulate. If EN is low when the Watchdog Delay expires
(no falling edge has occurred at the WDI input), RESB is
pulled low and the NCV8881 shuts off all power outputs
(SMPS and LDOs) and minimizes supply current.
In order to ensure that WDI pulses keep RESB from being
pulled low, they must never occur further apart than the
minimum specified tWD. However, RESB is not guaranteed
to be pulled low unless pulses occur further apart than the
maximum specified tWD.
Removal of other conditions that cause RESB to go low
(VIN > VOVSTP, temperature > TTSD, and SMPS output
voltage low) also initiate POR and BOOT Delays prior to
resumption of WDI monitoring.
Figures 52 through 57 illustrate the action of RESB and
the POR, BOOT, and Watchdog Delays during start−up and
shutdown.
The Watchdog Delay is internally limited to a maximum
value proportional to the switching period in case the
resistance at the RDLY pin becomes excessively high, such
as would occur if the path from the RDLY pin through the
RDLY resistance becomes an open circuit.
WATCHDOG FUNCTION
The Watchdog function monitors the WDI input to check
that WDI pulses arrive more frequently than the
programmed minimum rate. Monitoring commences after
two sequential time periods (the POR and BOOT Delays)
which start when the SMPS output reaches regulation. After
these initial time periods, time between WDI falling edges
exceeding the Watchdog Delay indicates abnormal
microcontroller activity, and the NCV8881 responds by
pulling the open drain RESB output low. A single external
resistor from the RDLY pin to ground programs the POR,
BOOT and Watchdog Delays.
When enabled and upon the SMPS output reaching
regulation, the NCV8881 enters the POR Delay period
tPOR, during which the RESB pin is held low. When the
POR Delay expires, the NCV8881 enters the BOOT Delay
period tBD during which the RESB output is allowed to be
pulled up by the external resistance. When the BOOT Delay
expires, the Watchdog circuit begins monitoring the WDI
pin for a falling edge (from a microprocessor or other signal
source). If a falling edge arrives before the Watchdog Delay
period tWD expires, RESB remains high and a new

requirements. Tantalum, Aluminum or Polymer
Electrolytic, capacitors can be used. Ceramic capacitors
should have series resistance added to be within the
recommended ESR range. There are many capacitor
vendors which supply automotive rated parts that fall within
these ranges. For example, the SUNCON EP−series
Aluminum Electrolytic capacitors are well suited well for
automotive radio applications.
The primary input capacitor should be a ceramic of at least
4.7 mF placed between the VIN pin and the ground terminal
of the SMPS freewheeling diode in order to reduce input
voltage perturbations present when the NCV8881 SMPS is
heavily loaded. A secondary 0.1 mF ceramic capacitor
positioned as closely as possible between the VIN and GND
pins of the NCV8881 provides greater reduction of input
perturbations than further increasing the value of the
primary ceramic capacitor, and can be more effectively
positioned than the larger 4.7 mF capacitor without
compromising PCB thermal conductivity.
Setting the SMPS Output Voltage
To set the output voltage of the switching regulator, use
the following equation:
V SWOUT + V REF
LDO Output Capacitor Selection
The LDOs have been compensated to work with output
capacitors above 3.3 mF having an ESR from 200 mW up to
5 W over the full range of output current and temperature.
Lower capacitance and ESR can be used for lighter load

the necessary capacitance, at the expense of higher ripple
current.
In continuous conduction mode, the peak−to−peak ripple
current is calculated using the following equation:
of input offset current error, it is customary to calculate R1
with R2 set at 1 kW.
SMPS Snubber
A resistor and ceramic capacitor must be connected in
series between the SW pin and ground. Typical values are
10 W and 1 nF.
I PP + T SW
The freewheeling diode in the SMPS provides the
inductor current path when the power switch turns off, and
is sometimes referred to as the commutation diode. The
diode peak inverse voltage must exceed the maximum
operating input voltage in order to accommodate any higher
peak voltage produced by switchnode ringing. The peak
conducting current is determined by the internal current
limit. The average diode current can be calculated from the
output current IOUT, the input voltage VIN and the output
voltage VSWOUT by:

Mechanical and electrical considerations, as well as cost
influence the selection of an output inductor. From a
mechanical perspective, smaller inductor values generally
correspond to smaller physical size. Since the inductor is
often one of the largest components in SMPS system, a
minimum inductor value is particularly important in
space−constrained applications. From an electrical
perspective, smaller inductor values correspond to faster
transient response. The maximum current slew rate through
the output inductor for a buck regulator is given by:

(eq. 4)
The output capacitor is a basic component for the fast
response of the power supply. In fact, during load transient,
it supplies the current to the load for first few microseconds,
where after the controller recognizes the load transient and
proceeds to increase the duty cycle. Neglecting the effect of
the ESL, the output voltage has a first drop due to the ESR
of the capacitor.

Where TSW is the switching period. From this equation it
is clear that the ripple current increases as L decreases,
emphasizing the trade−off between dynamic response and

in the range between 10 mH and 22 mH. There are many
magnetic component suppliers providing energy storage

or TOKO DSH104C series inductors, which are
recommended for the automotive radio applications.

A lower ESR produces a lower DV during load transient.
In addition, a lower ESR produces a lower output voltage

Where, DMAX is the maximum duty cycle value, which is
90%. Although the ESR effect is not in phase with the
discharging of the output voltage, DVSWOUT(ESR) can be
added to DVSWOUT(CHARGE) to give a rough indication of
the maximum DVSWOUT during a transient condition.
Simulation can also help determine the maximum
DVSWOUT; however, it will ultimately have to be verified
with the actual load since the ESL effect is dependent on
layout and the actual load’s di/dt.
(eq. 3)
Where IL is the inductor current, L is the output inductance,
and VL is the voltage drop across the inductor.
This equation indicates that larger inductor values limit
the regulator’s ability to slew current through the output
inductor in response to output load transients.
Consequently, output capacitors must supply sufficient
charge to maintain regulation while the inductor current
“catches up” to the load. This results in larger values of
output capacitance to maintain tight output voltage
regulation. In contrast, smaller values of inductance increase
the regulator’s maximum achievable slew rate and decrease
SMPS Input Capacitor Selection
Besides voltage rating, a primary consideration for
selecting the input capacitor is input RMS current rating.

Another consideration for the value of the input capacitor
is the ability to supply enough input charge to satisfy sudden

upon maximum load step) without an unacceptable drop in
input voltage. This is sometimes important when the input

crossover frequency cannot exceed 1/2 FSW and the phase
margin has to be greater than 0° at crossover. However, a
SMPS operating towards these absolutes will experience
severe ringing before it dampens out.
To achieve the above goals, the following guidelines
should be adopted.
− Place wZ1 at half the resonance of wLC
− Place wZ2 at or around wLC
− Place wP1 at wESR
− Place wP2 at half the switching frequency
Performing these calculations will take some amount of
iteration and bench testing is needed to verify results.
ON Semiconductor has developed a tool to speed up the
design process tremendously with great ease and accuracy.
This tool can be downloaded by following the link below:
http://www.onsemi.com/pub/Collateral/COMPCALC.ZIP
To reiterate, there are 3 primary goals to compensating.
Goal 1 is to have a high a unity gain bandwidth (UGB) that
is greater than 1/10 the switching frequency FSW, but less
than 1/2 the switching frequency. UGB is also known as the
crossover frequency. This is the point where the loop gain =
0 dB or a gain of 1. In the plot above, the UGB is the point
where the red line crosses the TBD axis. Goal 2 is to have the
loop gain cross 0 dB with a −20 dB/decade slope also known
as a −1 slope. Goal 3 is to achieve over 45° of phase margin
when the gain crosses 0 dB. These are just goals. Sometimes
the crossover frequency is reduced below 1/10 FSW in order
to meet goal 3.
Conversely, some designs will push the crossover
frequency as high as it can (as long as it is below 1/2 FSW)
with a reduced phase margin of 30° in order to get a faster
transient response. The only two absolutes are that the
