Product details
Overview
NCP303LSN42T1G from onsemi is an ultra-low-quiescent-current voltage detector IC with open-drain active-low reset output, 4.2 V detection threshold (±3% over −40°C to +125°C), externally programmable delay via capacitor on CD pin, and operation from 0.8 V to 10 V supply. It serves as a precision reset controller in battery-powered microprocessor systems requiring extended runtime and reliable power-fail detection.
For engineers reviewing the NCP303LSN42T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 4.2 V undervoltage threshold accuracy, 0.5 µA typical quiescent current at 0.8 V input, −40°C to +125°C automotive-grade temperature range, and compatibility with external delay capacitors for configurable reset hold time.
Technical Context
The NCP303LSN42T1G integrates a precision bandgap-based voltage detector with hysteresis (VHYS = 0.126 V typ) and a dedicated CD pin that drives an internal N-channel MOSFET to discharge/charge an external capacitor-enabling programmable reset assertion and release delays. Its open-drain output requires an external pull-up for logic-level compatibility.
It operates across a wide input voltage range (0.8–10 V), maintains sub-1 µA supply current below 1 V input, and delivers 1.0–3.5 mA N-channel sink capability at VOUT = 0.5 V and VIN = 1.5 V. The device is AEC-Q100 qualified (NCV prefix variants) and RoHS compliant.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Detection Threshold | 4.2 V ±3% over −40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable reset assertion when main supply drops below nominal 4.2 V rail (e.g., Li-ion battery discharge). |
| Quiescent Current | 0.25 µA typ at VIN = 0.7 V - enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring applications. |
| Operating Voltage Range | 0.8 V to 10 V - supports direct connection to low-voltage battery rails (e.g., single-cell LiFePO₄) and higher intermediate supplies. |
| Output Type | Open-drain N-channel, active-low - allows flexible pull-up voltage selection (e.g., 1.8 V, 3.3 V, or 5 V) and wired-OR reset bus implementation. |
| Hysteresis | 0.126 V typ - prevents oscillatory reset toggling during slow or noisy supply recovery near threshold. |
| CD Pin Pullup Resistance | 1.0 MΩ typ - sets RC time constant with external capacitor to define precise reset release delay (tD2). |
| Temperature Range | −40°C to +125°C - validated for under-hood automotive, industrial control, and high-reliability embedded systems. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TSOP-5 / SOT-23-5 (Case 483), surface-mount, 5-pin plastic package with 0.95 mm pitch and 1.6 mm × 2.9 mm footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Reset Output (open-drain) | Active-low reset signal; must be pulled up externally; sinks up to 3.5 mA at 0.5 V drop. |
| 2 | Input (VIN) | Main supply voltage sensing node; detects undervoltage condition relative to 4.2 V threshold. |
| 3 | No Connect (N.C.) | Internally unused; must be left floating or grounded per layout best practice (no electrical function). |
| 4 | GND | Analog and digital ground reference; connects to system common return path. |
| 5 | CD (Capacitor Delay) | Controls reset release timing; internal 1 MΩ pullup charges external capacitor after undervoltage recovery. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 0.25 µA typical at 0.7 V input - minimizes standby power loss in battery-critical designs. |
| Programmable reset release delay | Configurable via external capacitor on CD pin (e.g., 0.1 µF → ~100 ms tD2) - eliminates need for discrete RC timers. |
| High-threshold accuracy | ±3% over full temperature range - ensures consistent reset behavior across environmental extremes. |
| Wide supply voltage operation | 0.8 V to 10 V - supports direct monitoring of primary battery, LDO outputs, or DC-DC converter rails. |
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q100 qualified (via NCV-series variants); RoHS and Pb-free - suitable for Tier-1 automotive subsystems. |
Applications
| Microprocessor Reset Control | Li-ion Battery Undervoltage Protection |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage detector applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV803EB29DBZR | Fixed 2.93 V threshold, no programmable delay, SOT-23-3 package (3 pins), 0.5 µA IQ | Lacks CD pin delay functionality; suited only for simple reset without timing control | Select when minimal BOM count and fixed threshold suffice; not suitable for NCP303LSN42T1G's 4.2 V or delay requirements |
| MAX6375XR29+T | 2.93 V threshold, built-in 200 ms delay, SOT-23-5, 1.6 µA IQ, no external CD capacitor | Fixed internal delay limits flexibility; higher quiescent current reduces battery life | Choose for drop-in replacement where 200 ms fixed delay is acceptable and 4.2 V threshold is not required |
Compared with TLV803EB29DBZR and MAX6375XR29+T, the NCP303LSN42T1G uniquely combines 4.2 V precision detection, ultra-low 0.25 µA quiescent current, and fully programmable delay-making it optimal for long-life, high-accuracy battery supervision where timing must scale with system requirements.

FAQ
What is the exact detection threshold voltage of the NCP303LSN42T1G?
The NCP303LSN42T1G has a nominal detection threshold of 4.2 V, specified as 4.116 V (min) to 4.284 V (max) at +25°C, and guaranteed within ±3% (i.e., 4.074 V to 4.326 V) over the full −40°C to +125°C operating temperature range. This tolerance ensures reliable reset activation across automotive and industrial environments.
Does the NCP303LSN42T1G require an external pull-up resistor on its reset output?
Yes, the NCP303LSN42T1G features an open-drain N-channel output (Pin 1), which requires an external pull-up resistor to a defined logic voltage (e.g., 3.3 V or 5 V). The value is selected based on rise time and bus loading; typical values range from 10 kΩ to 100 kΩ. Without this resistor, the reset signal cannot achieve a valid high state.
How is the reset release delay programmed on the NCP303LSN42T1G?
The reset release delay (tD2) is programmed using an external capacitor connected between Pin 5 (CD) and GND. The internal 1.0 MΩ (typ) pullup resistor forms an RC network; for example, a 0.1 µF capacitor yields ~100 ms delay. Delay vs. capacitance curves are provided in Figures 30–32 of the datasheet, and temperature variation is characterized in Figure 35.
What is the minimum supply voltage required for the NCP303LSN42T1G to operate correctly?
The NCP303LSN42T1G operates down to 0.8 V input voltage (Pin 2), with functional specifications guaranteed from 0.8 V to 10 V. At 0.7 V input, the device remains powered but may not assert reset reliably; the absolute minimum operating voltage is 0.55 V (typ) at −40°C to +85°C ambient, per Electrical Characteristics Table on page 3.
Is the NCP303LSN42T1G suitable for automotive applications?
While the NCP303LSN42T1G itself is not AEC-Q100 qualified, it belongs to the NCP303 series whose NCV-prefix variants (e.g., NCV303LSN42T1G) are explicitly AEC-Q100 qualified and PPAP capable. For automotive use, specify the NCV version; the NCP303LSN42T1G is rated for −40°C to +125°C and shares identical electrical specs, making it suitable for non-safety-critical automotive subsystems pending qualification alignment.
