Npct750 Datasheet [upd] May 2026

Nuvoton NPCT750 is a hardware-based Trusted Platform Module (TPM) that implements the

  1. Input and Output Capacitors: Place CIN and COUT as close as possible to the respective pins. The ground return path should be short and direct to the IC’s GND pin.
  2. Kelvin Sense for Feedback: In adjustable mode, connect the feedback resistor divider directly to the VOUT pin (or the output capacitor’s positive terminal), not to the load side. This avoids IR drop errors.
  3. Ground Plane: Use a solid ground plane under the NPCT750. For packages with an exposed pad (e.g., DFN-8), solder the pad to the ground plane for optimal heat sinking.
  4. Noise Bypass: The bypass capacitor (if used) should be a high-quality NPO/C0G ceramic or film capacitor placed within 5mm of the BYP pin.
  5. Thermal Vias: For high current (near 750mA) operation, use an array of thermal vias under the IC’s thermal pad to conduct heat away to inner or bottom layer copper.
  • Noise Performance: With a mere 4.17 µVRMS output noise (10 Hz to 100 kHz), this chip is a beast. If you are building a high-end audio DAC or a sensitive ADC reference voltage, this is the go-to component. It effectively acts as a "DC battery."
  • PSRR (Power Supply Rejection Ratio): It offers 72 dB of PSRR at 60 Hz, meaning it crushes line noise from your wall wart or main supply. This is crucial for clean power.
  • Adjustability: The A version allows for adjustable output via external resistors, offering flexibility that fixed regulators don't.
  • Wide Input Range: Supports up to 20V input, making it versatile for various rail voltages (up to about 18V output due to dropout).
