# Introduction to the NCV1117DT50RKG Product Series
## 1. Overview
The NCV1117DT50RKG is a highly reliable and efficient voltage regulator product series that plays a crucial role in a wide range of electronic applications. These voltage regulators are designed to provide a stable and precise output voltage, ensuring the proper functioning of various electronic components and systems.
## 2. Key Features
### 2.1 Voltage Regulation
- **Precise Output Voltage**: The NCV1117DT50RKG is capable of delivering a fixed output voltage of 5.0V with high accuracy. This precise voltage regulation is essential for powering sensitive electronic devices such as microcontrollers, sensors, and communication modules, which require a stable power supply to operate correctly.
- **Low Dropout Voltage**: It has a low dropout voltage, which means it can maintain a stable output voltage even when the input voltage is only slightly higher than the output voltage. This feature is particularly useful in battery - powered applications, as it allows the regulator to continue providing a stable output as the battery voltage gradually decreases.
### 2.2 Current Handling
- **High Output Current**: The series can handle a relatively high output current, typically up to a certain specified limit. This makes it suitable for powering multiple components or devices simultaneously, such as in a small - scale electronic system or a module with multiple integrated circuits.
- **Over - Current Protection**: To safeguard the regulator and the connected load, the NCV1117DT50RKG is equipped with over - current protection. In case of a short - circuit or excessive current draw, the regulator will automatically limit the output current to prevent damage.
### 2.3 Thermal Performance
- **Thermal Shutdown Protection**: The product has built - in thermal shutdown protection. When the temperature of the regulator exceeds a certain threshold due to high power dissipation or environmental factors, the regulator will shut down to prevent overheating and potential damage.
- **Low Power Dissipation**: It is designed to have low power dissipation, which helps in reducing heat generation and improving overall energy efficiency. This is beneficial for applications where power consumption is a concern, such as in portable devices.
### 2.4 Package and Mounting
- **Compact Package**: The NCV1117DT50RKG comes in a compact and industry - standard package, which makes it easy to integrate into various printed circuit board (PCB) designs. The small form factor is especially advantageous for space - constrained applications.
- **Surface - Mount Technology (SMT) Compatibility**: It is compatible with surface - mount technology, allowing for automated assembly processes. This not only reduces manufacturing costs but also improves the reliability of the PCB assembly.
## 3. Applications
### 3.1 Consumer Electronics
- **Smartphones and Tablets**: In these devices, the NCV1117DT50RKG can be used to power various subsystems such as the display driver, audio amplifier, and sensor modules. Its stable output voltage ensures the proper functioning of these components, resulting in a better user experience.
- **Wearable Devices**: Wearable devices like smartwatches and fitness trackers require a compact and efficient voltage regulator. The NCV1117DT50RKG's small size and low power consumption make it an ideal choice for powering the microcontroller, sensors, and wireless communication modules in these devices.
### 3.2 Industrial Electronics
- **Industrial Control Systems**: In industrial control systems, where reliability is of utmost importance, the NCV1117DT50RKG can be used to power control boards, sensors, and actuators. Its over - current and thermal protection features ensure the long - term stability and safety of the system.
