Product details
Overview
NCP1402SN40T1 from onsemi is a monolithic micropower PFM step-up DC-DC switching regulator designed for ultra-low-voltage battery-powered portable systems. It starts up at 0.8 V, operates down to 0.3 V, delivers up to 200 mA output current at 4.0 V (Vin = 2.0 V), achieves 85% efficiency, and integrates power MOSFET, soft-start, voltage reference, and feedback resistors - used in MP3 players, digital cameras, and handheld instruments.
For engineers reviewing the NCP1402SN40T1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include startup voltage (0.8 V), regulated output (4.0 V ±2.5%), CE-controlled shutdown (<0.3 V disable), LX pin current limit (130 mA typ), and Thin SOT-23-5 package compatibility with minimal external components.
Technical Context
The NCP1402SN40T1 implements pulse frequency modulation (PFM) control with an internal oscillator, PFM comparator, and cycle-by-cycle current limiting. Its soft-start circuit ramps output to ~1.5 V before normal regulation begins, improving startup under heavy load.
Regulation is achieved via an internal trimmed resistor divider setting VOUT = 4.0 V (±2.5%), referenced to a stable on-chip voltage reference. The CE pin enables/disables operation using a defined hysteresis window (enable ≥0.9 V, disable ≤0.3 V), with internal 10 MΩ pullup to OUT.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 4.0 V ±2.5% - factory-trimmed internal feedback network eliminates external resistor selection. |
| Startup Voltage | 0.8 V typ - enables operation from single alkaline or NiMH cell at end-of-life. |
| Hold Voltage | 0.3 V min - sustains regulation below typical battery cutoff, extending usable runtime. |
| Efficiency | 85% @ Vin = 2.0 V, VOUT = 4.0 V, IO = 70 mA - minimizes power loss in space-constrained portable designs. |
| LX Pin Current Limit | 130 mA typ - protects integrated N-channel FET and prevents inductor saturation during transients. |
| Operating Current | 55 µA typ @ VOUT = 4.0 V × 0.96 - ultra-low quiescent current preserves battery life in standby. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.6 µA typ @ VCE = 0 V - near-zero leakage when disabled via CE pin. |
| Output Ripple | Typ. 30 mV - low noise performance suitable for analog and RF subsystems. |
Pinout & Package
Package: Thin SOT-23-5 (Case 483), Pb-free, RoHS compliant, 1.6 mm × 2.9 mm footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - CE | Chip Enable input | Logic-level control: ≥0.9 V enables regulation; ≤0.3 V disables IC (0.6 µA shutdown current); floating defaults to enabled via internal 10 MΩ pullup to OUT. |
| 2 - OUT | Regulated output & supply rail | Provides 4.0 V output and powers internal circuitry; also serves as reference for CE pullup. |
| 3 - NC | No internal connection | Unbonded pin - must be left unconnected; no routing or grounding required. |
| 4 - GND | Power ground reference | Common return for input, output, and internal circuits; requires low-impedance one-point grounding per layout guidelines. |
| 5 - LX | Switch node / inductor interface | Drain of internal N-channel MOSFET; connects to external inductor and Schottky diode anode; rated for 6.0 V peak and 130 mA continuous sink. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low startup voltage | 0.8 V enables use with single-cell batteries at deep discharge, avoiding premature system shutdown. |
| Integrated feedback network | Factory-trimmed for 4.0 V output eliminates external resistors, reducing BOM count and layout area. |
| PFM control architecture | Variable-frequency operation maintains high efficiency across wide load range (1–200 mA) without external compensation. |
| Soft-start circuit | Ramps output to ~1.5 V before regulation engages, preventing inrush current and improving startup reliability under load. |
| CE-controlled shutdown | Reduces total system current to 0.6 µA, enabling long-term battery storage or host-controlled power gating. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-up regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS61200DRCT | Fixed 3.3 V output; higher 600 mA output capability; requires external feedback for 4.0 V. | Better suited for higher-current 3.3 V systems; lacks 0.8 V startup and 0.3 V hold capability. | Select if 3.3 V rail is acceptable and >200 mA peak load is required; verify startup behavior with aging batteries. |
| MAX17222ETA+T | 4.0 V output option available; 0.7 V startup; 300 mA output; uses different PFM control scheme. | Superior cold-start performance but larger 2 mm × 2 mm TDFN package; higher quiescent current (1.5 µA). | Choose when lowest possible startup voltage is critical and board space permits larger footprint; confirm ripple requirements. |
Compared with TPS61200DRCT and MAX17222ETA+T, the NCP1402SN40T1 uniquely balances ultra-low-voltage operation (0.8 V start / 0.3 V hold), precise 4.0 V output, and minimal 1.6 mm × 2.9 mm footprint - making it optimal for space- and battery-life-constrained single-cell portable designs where 200 mA peak suffices.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for the NCP1402SN40T1 to begin regulation?
The NCP1402SN40T1 has a typical minimum startup voltage of 0.8 V and can sustain regulation down to 0.3 V. This allows reliable operation from single-cell alkaline, NiMH, or Li-ion batteries even at deep discharge states. Startup voltage is temperature-dependent, with a coefficient of −1.6 mV/°C over −40°C to +85°C.
How does the CE pin function on the NCP1402SN40T1?
The CE pin on the NCP1402SN40T1 controls device enable/disable state: applying ≥0.9 V enables regulation, ≤0.3 V disables it (reducing current to 0.6 µA), and floating defaults to enabled via an internal 10 MΩ pullup to the OUT pin. Voltages between 0.3 V and 0.9 V must be avoided due to undefined hysteresis behavior.
What output capacitor value is recommended for stable operation of the NCP1402SN40T1?
A 47 µF to 68 µF low-ESR tantalum capacitor (e.g., KEMET T494D686K010AS) is recommended for the NCP1402SN40T1 output. Ceramic alternatives include two parallel 22 µF low-profile SMD units. ESR should be 0.15–0.30 Ω to maintain <30 mV ripple and ensure stability under dynamic load conditions.
Can the NCP1402SN40T1 drive a 200 mA load continuously?
Yes - the NCP1402SN40T1 is rated for up to 200 mA output current at VOUT = 4.0 V and Vin = 2.0 V, with 85% efficiency. Performance depends on external component selection: a 47 µH inductor (e.g., Sumida CD54-470L), low-VF Schottky diode (e.g., MBR0520LT1), and proper PCB layout are essential to sustain full-load operation without thermal derating.
Is the NCP1402SN40T1 RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the NCP1402SN40T1 is Pb-free and RoHS compliant, packaged in a Thin SOT-23-5 (Case 483) with matte tin lead finish. It meets JEDEC J-STD-020A moisture sensitivity level MSL 1 and is qualified for industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C ambient).
