Product details
Overview
NCP301LSN16T1 from onsemi is an ultra-low-quiescent-current voltage detector IC designed as a reset controller for portable microprocessor systems. It features a 1.6 V ±2.0% undervoltage detection threshold, 0.08 V typical hysteresis, 0.45 µA typical supply current at 1.5 V input, open-drain N-channel active-low reset output, and operates from −40°C to +125°C over 0.8–10 V supply range.
For engineers reviewing the NCP301LSN16T1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this device is selected for battery-powered MCU reset supervision where sub-µA quiescent current, precise 1.6 V threshold stability across temperature, and open-drain compatibility with external pull-up networks are critical design requirements.
Technical Context
The NCP301LSN16T1 implements a precision bandgap-based comparator with internal hysteresis to prevent oscillation near the 1.6 V detection threshold. Its open-drain N-channel output requires an external pull-up resistor and sinks up to 2.0 mA at VOUT = 0.5 V when Vin = 1.5 V.
It operates across a wide input voltage range (0.8 V to 10 V) while maintaining <0.5 µA typical quiescent current - enabling use in energy-constrained applications such as coin-cell–powered IoT sensors and wearables where long-term battery life is essential.

Applications
| Microprocessor Reset Supervision | Low-Battery Detection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitoring 1.8 V core supply of an ARM Cortex-M0+ microcontroller in a wireless sensor node. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage detector asserting active-low reset signal when supply drops below 1.6 V, holding MCU in reset until stable recovery.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage detector applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV803EB16DBVR | 0.9–6.0 V supply; 1.6 V threshold ±1.5%; 0.5 µA max IQ; SOT-23-5 package | Higher accuracy but no AEC-Q100 qualification; lacks extended 125°C operation | Select for cost-sensitive consumer designs requiring tighter threshold tolerance |
| MAX809SEUR+T | 2.5–5.5 V supply; 1.63 V threshold ±2.5%; 1.2 µA max IQ; SOT-23-3 package | Lower quiescent current not guaranteed below 2.5 V; only 3-pin package limits flexibility | Select when board space is constrained and supply stays above 2.5 V |
Compared with TLV803EB16DBVR and MAX809SEUR+T, the NCP301LSN16T1 delivers superior wide-input-voltage operation (0.8–10 V), guaranteed −40°C to +125°C performance, and automotive-grade process consistency - making it optimal for industrial and automotive reset supervision where environmental robustness is non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the exact detection threshold voltage of the NCP301LSN16T1?
The NCP301LSN16T1 has a nominal detection threshold of 1.60 V, with ±2.0% accuracy at +25°C and ±3% over the full −40°C to +125°C operating temperature range. This value is specified as VDET− in the Electrical Characteristics table and applies to the "L" suffix active-low variant. The threshold is factory-trimmed and does not require external calibration.
Does the NCP301LSN16T1 require an external pull-up resistor on its reset output?
Yes, the NCP301LSN16T1 features an open-drain N-channel output (Pin 1) and requires an external pull-up resistor to define the high-state voltage level. Typical values range from 10 kΩ to 100 kΩ, depending on rise time and bus loading requirements. No internal pull-up is present - omission will result in undefined reset state.
What is the maximum supply voltage the NCP301LSN16T1 can monitor?
The NCP301LSN16T1 supports an input voltage range of 0.8 V to 10 V on Pin 2 (Input). Its absolute maximum rating is 12 V, but continuous operation above 10 V is not characterized or guaranteed. For 12 V battery monitoring, a resistive divider is required to scale the input within the 0.8–10 V operating window.
How does hysteresis improve system reliability in the NCP301LSN16T1?
The NCP301LSN16T1 incorporates 0.080 V typical hysteresis between its upper (VDET+) and lower (VDET−) thresholds. This prevents rapid toggling of the reset output during slow or noisy supply recoveries - for example, when a buck converter ramps up gradually - ensuring clean, glitch-free reset assertion and release.
Is the NCP301LSN16T1 suitable for automotive applications?
While the NCP301LSN16T1 itself is not AEC-Q100 certified, it shares identical die, process, and characterization with the NCV301LSN16T1 (automotive-grade variant). Its −40°C to +125°C guaranteed operation, 10 V max input rating, and robust ESD protection (2000 V HBM) make it suitable for non-safety-critical automotive subsystems where full qualification is not mandated.
