Product details
Overview
NCP1402SN30T1 from onsemi is a monolithic micropower PFM step-up DC-DC converter optimized for single- or dual-cell battery-powered portable equipment. It starts up at 0.8 V, operates down to 0.3 V, delivers up to 200 mA output current at 3.0 V with 85% efficiency (Vin = 2.0 V), and features integrated power MOSFET, soft-start, and chip enable control - used in handheld instruments and digital cameras.
For engineers reviewing the NCP1402SN30T1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include startup voltage (0.8 V), regulated 3.0 V ±2.5% output, ultra-low operating current (42 µA), ripple performance (typ. 30 mV), and Thin SOT-23-5 package compatibility with minimal external components.
Technical Context
The NCP1402SN30T1 implements pulse frequency modulation (PFM) with variable switching frequency, enabling high efficiency across light-to-moderate loads while maintaining stable regulation under low input voltages. Its internal architecture includes a PFM oscillator, PFM comparator, soft-start circuit, voltage reference, feedback resistors, driver, and N-channel power MOSFET with cycle-by-cycle current limiting.
It operates in continuous conduction mode with a maximum duty cycle of 78%, switch-on time of 5.5 µs (typ.), and minimum off-time of 1.45 µs (typ.). The device uses an internal VLX limiter to protect the power switch, with a typical current limit threshold of 190 mA and on-state sink current of 190 mA at VLX = 0.4 V.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-up regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for the NCP1402SN30T1 to start up?
The NCP1402SN30T1 has a typical minimum startup voltage of 0.8 V, with a maximum of 0.95 V across temperature. This allows reliable startup from nearly depleted alkaline, NiMH, or lithium primary cells. The device continues operating down to 0.3 V, enabling deep discharge utilization in battery-powered systems.
Does the NCP1402SN30T1 require external feedback resistors to set its 3.0 V output?
No, the NCP1402SN30T1 does not require external feedback resistors. Its 3.0 V output is set by an internal trimmed resistor network, achieving ±2.5% accuracy over temperature and line/load conditions. This simplifies design and reduces bill-of-materials count compared to adjustable boost converters.
How does the CE pin on the NCP1402SN30T1 behave when left unconnected?
When the CE pin of the NCP1402SN30T1 is left floating, it is pulled up internally to the OUT pin via a 10 MΩ resistor, resulting in automatic enablement. The device enters normal operation without requiring external pull-up - a key feature for simplified "always-on" portable applications.
What is the typical output ripple voltage of the NCP1402SN30T1 under load?
The NCP1402SN30T1 delivers typical output ripple voltage of 30 mV at 70 mA load with standard 47 µH inductor and 68 µF output capacitor. Ripple remains below 60 mV across full 200 mA load range, supporting noise-sensitive analog and mixed-signal circuits without additional filtering.
Can the NCP1402SN30T1 operate with only three external components?
Yes, the NCP1402SN30T1 requires only three external components for basic operation: an inductor (typically 47 µH), a Schottky diode (e.g., MBR0520LT1), and an output capacitor (e.g., 68 µF low-ESR tantalum). Input capacitor is recommended but not strictly required for minimal configurations.
