DEFINITION OF TERMS
Dropout Voltage: The input−output voltage differential
at which the circuit ceases to regulate against further
reduction in input voltage. Measured when the output
voltage has dropped 100 mV from the nominal value
obtained at 14 V input, dropout voltage is dependent upon
load current and junction temperature.
Input Voltage: The DC voltage applied to the input
terminals with respect to ground.
Line Regulation: The change in output voltage for a
change in the input voltage. The measurement is made under
conditions of low dissipation or by using pulse techniques
such that the average chip temperature is not significantly
affected.
Load Regulation: The change in output voltage for a
change in load current at constant chip temperature.
Quiescent Current: The part of the positive input current
that does not contribute to the positive load current. The
regulator ground lead current.
Ripple Rejection: The ratio of the peak−to−peak input
ripple voltage to the peak−to−peak output ripple voltage.
Current Limit: Peak current that can be delivered to the
output.
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
VOLTAGE REFERENCE AND OUTPUT CIRCUITRY
The NCV8141 is a 5.0 V Watchdog Regulator with
protection circuitry and three logic control functions that
allow a microprocessor to control its own power supply. The
NCV8141 is designed for use in automotive, switch mode
power supply post regulator, and battery powered systems.
Basic regulator performance characteristics include a low
noise, low drift, 5.0 V ±4.0% precision output voltage with
low dropout voltage (1.25 V @ IOUT = 500 mA) and low
quiescent current (7.0 mA @ IOUT = 500 mA). On board
short circuit, thermal, and overvoltage protection make it
possible to use this regulator in particularly harsh operating
environments.
The Watchdog logic function monitors an input signal
(WDI) from the microprocessor or other signal source.
When the signal frequency goes below the externally
programmable limit, a RESET signal is generated (RESET).
Proper operation has been verified at a frequency up to 100
kHz. No abnormal RESET signals will occur with
frequencies lower than 100 kHz and the maximum
Threshold Frequency (96 Hz). An external capacitor
(CDELAY) programs the watchdog frequency limit as well as
the power on reset (POR) and RESET delay.
The RESET function is activated by any of three
conditions: the watchdog signal moves outside of its preset
limits; the output voltage drops out of regulation by more
than 4.5%; or the IC is in its power up sequence. The RESET
signal is independent of VIN and reliable down to VOUT =
1.0 V.
In conjunction with the Watchdog, the ENABLE
function controls the regulator’s power consumption. The
NCV8141’s output stage and its attendant circuitry are
enabled by setting the ENABLE lead high. The regulator
goes into sleep mode when the ENABLE lead goes low and
the watchdog signal moves outside its preset limit. This
unique combination of control functions in the NCV8141
gives the microprocessor control over its own power down
sequence: i.e. it gives the microprocessor the flexibility to
perform housekeeping functions before it powers down.
Precision Voltage Reference
The regulated output voltage depends on the precision band
gap voltage reference in the IC. By adding an error amplifier
into the feedback loop, the output voltage is maintained within
±4.0% over temperature and supply variation.
Output Stage
The composite PNP−NPN output structure (Figure 7)
provides 500 mA (min) of output current while maintaining
a low drop out voltage (1.25 V) and drawing little quiescent
current (7.0 mA).
VIN
VOUT
Figure 7. Composite Output Stage of the NCV8141
The NPN pass device prevents deep saturation of the
output stage which in turn improves the IC’s efficiency by
preventing excess current from being used and dissipated by
the IC.
Output Stage Protection
The output stage is protected against overvoltage, short
circuit and thermal runaway conditions (Figure 8).
If the input voltage rises above 30 V (e.g. load dump), the
output shuts down. This response protects the internal
circuitry and enables the IC to survive unexpected voltage
transients.
http://onsemi.com

NCV8141
ENABLE circuitry in the IC remains powered up, drawing
a quiescent current of less than 50 mA.
The Watchdog monitors the frequency of an incoming
WDI signal. If the signal falls below the WDI limit, a
frequency programmable pulse train is generated at the
RESET lead (Figure 9) until the correct Watchdog input
signal reappears at the lead (ENABLE = HIGH).
The threshold limit of the watchdog function is set by the
value of CDELAY. The limit is determined according to the
following equation for the NCV8141:
Using an emitter sense scheme, the amount of current
through the NPN pass transistor is monitored. Feedback
circuitry insures that the output current never exceeds a
preset limit.

The RESET function is activated when the Watchdog
frequency signal is below the watchdog threshold
(Figure 9), when the regulator is in its power up state
(Figure 10) or when VOUT drops below VOUT −4.5% for
more than 2.0 ms (Figure 11)
If the Watchdog signal falls outside of the preset voltage
or below the frequency threshold, a frequency
programmable pulse train is generated at the RESET lead
(Figure 9) until the correct Watchdog input signal reappears
at the lead. The duration of the RESET pulse is determined
by CDELAY according to the following equation:
Should the junction temperature of the power device
exceed 180°C (typ), the power transistor is turned off.
Thermal shutdown is an effective means to prevent die
overheating since the power transistor is the principle heat
source in the IC.

If an undervoltage condition exists, the voltage on the
RESET lead goes low and the delay capacitor, CDELAY, is
discharged. RESET remains low until output is in
regulation, the voltage on CDELAY exceeds the upper
threshold and the Watchdog input signal is valid (Figures 10
and 11). The delay after the output is in regulation is:

RESET is operational down to VOUT = 1.0 V. Both RESET
and its delay are governed by comparators with hysteresis to
avoid undesirable oscillations.
As long as ENABLE is high or ENABLE is low and the
Watchdog signal is normal, VOUT will be at 5.0 V (typ). If
ENABLE is low and the frequency of the Watchdog input

APPLICATION NOTES
With a capacitor tolerance of ±10%:
NCV8141 DESIGN EXAMPLE
The NCV8141 with its unique integration of linear
regulator and control features: RESET, ENABLE and
WATCHDOG, provides a single IC solution for a
microprocessor power supply. The reset delay, reset
duration and watchdog frequency limit are all determined by
a single capacitor. For a particular microprocessor the
overriding requirement is usually the reset delay (also
known as power on reset). The capacitor is chosen to meet
this requirement and the reset duration and watchdog
frequency follow.
The reset delay is given by:

ENERGY CONSERVATION AND SMART FEATURES
Energy conservation is another benefit of using a
regulator with integrated microprocessor control features.
Using the NCV8141 as indicated in Figure 13, the
microprocessor can control its own power down sequence.
The momentary contact switch quickly charges C1 through
R1.
When the voltage across C1 reaches 3.95 V ( the enable
threshold), the output switches on and VOUT rises to 5.0 V.
After a delay period determined by CDelay, a frequency
programmable reset pulse train is generated at the reset
output. The pulse train continues until the correct watchdog
signal appears at the WDI lead. C1 is now left to discharge
through the input impedance of the enable lead
(approximately 150 kW) and the enable signal disappears.
The output voltage remains at 5.0 V as long as the NCV8141
continues to receive the correct watchdog signal.
The microprocessor can power itself down by terminating
its watchdog signal. When the microprocessor finishes its
housekeeping or power down software routine, it stops
sending a watchdog signal. In response, the regulator
generates a reset signal and goes into a sleep mode where
VOUT drops to 0 V, shutting down the microprocessor.
Closest standard value is 0.82 mF.
Minimum and maximum delays using 0.82 mF are 220 ms
and 586 ms.
The duration of the reset pulse is given by:
CDELAY
This has a tolerance of ±50% due to the IC, and ±10% due
to the capacitor.
The duration of the reset pulse ranges from 3.69 ms to
13.5 ms.
The watchdog signal can be expressed as a frequency or
time. From a programmers point of view, time is more useful
since they must ensure that a watchdog signal is issued
consistently several times per second.
The watchdog time is given by:

STABILITY CONSIDERATIONS
Step 4: Maintain the worst case load conditions set in
Step 3 and vary the input voltage until the oscillations
increase. This point represents the worst case input voltage
conditions.
Step 5: If the capacitor is adequate, repeat Steps 3 and 4
with the next smaller valued capacitor. A smaller capacitor
will usually cost less and occupy less board space. If the
output oscillates within the range of expected operating
conditions, repeat Steps 3 and 4 with the next larger standard
capacitor value.
Step 6: Test the load transient response by switching in
various loads at several frequencies to simulate its real
working environment. Vary the ESR to reduce ringing.
Step 7: Increase the temperature to the highest specified
operating temperature. Vary the load current as instructed in
Step 5 to test for any oscillations.
Once the minimum capacitor value with the maximum
ESR is found, a safety factor should be added to allow for the
tolerance of the capacitor and any variations in regulator
performance. Most good quality aluminum electrolytic
capacitors have a tolerance of ± 20% so the minimum value
found should be increased by at least 50% to allow for this
tolerance plus the variation which will occur at low
temperatures. The ESR of the capacitor should be less than
50% of the maximum allowable ESR found in Step 3 above.
The output or compensation capacitor C2 in Figure 14
helps determine three main characteristics of a linear
regulator: startup delay, load transient response and loop
stability.
The capacitor value and type should be based on cost,
availability, size and temperature constraints. An aluminum
electrolytic capacitor is the least expensive solution, but, if
the circuit operates at low temperatures (−25°C to −40°C),
both the value and ESR of the capacitor will vary
considerably. The capacitor manufacturers data sheet
usually provides this information.
The value for the output capacitor C2 shown in Figure 14
should work for most applications, however it is not
necessarily the optimized solution.
To determine an acceptable value for C2 for a particular
application, start with a tantalum capacitor of the
recommended value and work towards a less expensive
alternative part.
Step 1: Place the completed circuit with a tantalum
capacitor of the recommended value in an environmental
chamber at the lowest specified operating temperature and
monitor the outputs with an oscilloscope. A decade box
connected in series with the capacitor will simulate the
higher ESR of an aluminum capacitor. Leave the decade box
outside the chamber, the small resistance added by the
longer leads is negligible.
Step 2: With the input voltage at its maximum value,
increase the load current slowly from zero to full load while
observing the output for any oscillations. If no oscillations
are observed, the capacitor is large enough to ensure a stable
design under steady state conditions.
Step 3: Increase the ESR of the capacitor from zero using
the decade box and vary the load current until oscillations
appear. Record the values of load current and ESR that cause
the greatest oscillation. This represents the worst case load
conditions for the regulator at low temperature.

OUTPUT LINEAR REGULATOR
The maximum power dissipation for a single output
regulator (Figure 15) is:
PD(max) + NJVIN(max) * VOUT(min)NjIOUT(max) ) VIN(max)IQ
where:
VIN(max) is the maximum input voltage,
VOUT(min) is the minimum output voltage,
IOUT(max) is the maximum output current for the
application, and

In some cases, none of the packages will be sufficient to
dissipate the heat generated by the IC, and an external
heatsink will be required.
IQ is the quiescent current the regulator consumes at
IOUT(max).

A heatsink effectively increases the surface area of the
package to improve the flow of heat away from the IC and
into the surrounding air.
Each material in the heat flow path between the IC and the
outside environment will have a thermal resistance. Like
series electrical resistances, these resistances are summed to
determine the value of RqJA.

where:
RqJC = the junction−to−case thermal resistance,
RqCS = the case−to−heatsink thermal resistance, and
RqSA = the heatsink−to−ambient thermal resistance.
RqJC appears in the package section of the data sheet. Like
RqJA, it too is a function of package type. RqCS and RqSA are
functions of the package type, heatsink and the interface
between them. These values appear in heatsink data sheets
of heatsink manufacturers.
Once the value of PD(max) is known, the maximum
permissible value of RqJA can be calculated:
RqJA +
150°C * TA

The value of RqJA can then be compared with those in the
package section of the data sheet. Those packages with
RqJA’s less than the calculated value in Equation 2 will keep
the die temperature below 150°C.
