Product details
Overview
NCP500SN30T1 from onsemi is a fixed-output, low-noise, low-dropout linear regulator delivering 150 mA with 3.0 V output, ultra-low dropout (170 mV at 150 mA), 2.5% output accuracy, and no external bypass capacitor required - ideal for noise-sensitive RF and portable battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the NCP500SN30T1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at full load, enable logic compatibility down to 1.0 V, RMS noise performance (50 µV, 10 Hz–100 kHz), thermal shutdown behavior, and TSOP-5 package footprint compatibility.
Technical Context
The NCP500SN30T1 uses a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout and fast 20 µs enable turn-on time. It integrates current limit, thermal shutdown, and precision voltage reference without requiring external compensation.
Designed for ceramic-capacitor stability, it operates across 1.8 V–6.0 V input with 1.0 µF minimum input/output capacitance and achieves 62 dB ripple rejection at 1 kHz - critical for post-regulation in SMPS systems and analog signal chains.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.0 V ±2.5% (2.925–3.075 V over −40°C to +85°C, 1–150 mA load) |
| Max Output Current | 150 mA continuous; short-circuit protected with infinite duration rating |
| Dropout Voltage | 170 mV at 150 mA (measured at Vout −2.0%), enabling operation with Vin as low as 3.17 V |
| Noise Performance | 50 µV RMS (10 Hz–100 kHz, no bypass capacitor required) |
| Enable Threshold | Logic-high turn-on at ≥0.9 V; logic-low turn-off at ≤0.15 V - compatible with 1.0 V logic systems |
| Quiescent Current | 185 µA typical at 150 mA load and 0.9 V enable; 0.01 µA in shutdown |
| Ripple Rejection | 62 dB at 1 kHz (Vin = Vout + 1.0 V + 0.5 Vpp, Io = 60 mA) |
Pinout & Package
Package: TSOP-5 (Case 483), 5-pin surface-mount, Pb-free, 2.0 mm × 2.5 mm footprint with exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Vin | Positive power supply input; supports 1.8–6.0 V; requires 1.0 µF ceramic decoupling close to pin |
| 2 | GND | Power ground reference; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling |
| 3 | Enable | Active-high digital control; driven directly by 1.0 V logic; tie to Vin if unused |
| 4 | Vout | Regulated 3.0 V output; stable with ≥1.0 µF ceramic capacitor; no ESR requirement |
| 5 | N/C | No internal connection; left floating or grounded per layout best practice (no electrical function) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 170 mV @ 150 mA enables single-cell Li-ion (3.0 V nominal) and 3.3 V rail post-regulation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-noise LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-3002E/TT | 250 mA rated, 175 mV dropout at 250 mA, 65 µV RMS noise, SOT-23-5 package | Higher max current but larger dropout at 150 mA; requires 1.0 µF ceramic output cap | Preferred when >150 mA margin or SOT-23 layout reuse is needed; not pin-compatible with TSOP-5 |
| TLC7603-30IDBVR | 200 mA rated, 220 mV dropout at 150 mA, 40 µV RMS noise, 62 dB PSRR, SOT-23-5 | Lower noise but higher dropout; tighter 1% initial accuracy; no enable pin | Selected for ultra-low-noise priority where enable control is unnecessary and PCB space allows SOT-23-5 |
Compared with MCP1700T-3002E/TT and TLC7603-30IDBVR, the NCP500SN30T1 offers the lowest dropout at 150 mA and integrated enable functionality in TSOP-5 - making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-voltage-sensitive designs requiring dynamic power control.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for NCP500SN30T1?
The absolute maximum input voltage for NCP500SN30T1 is 6.0 V. Operation above this level risks permanent damage. For reliable 3.0 V output, minimum input is 3.17 V (3.0 V + 170 mV dropout); recommended operating range is 3.3 V to 5.5 V to maintain margin across temperature and load.
Does NCP500SN30T1 require an external bypass capacitor?
No, NCP500SN30T1 does not require an external noise bypass capacitor. Its internal low-noise architecture delivers 50 µV RMS noise (10 Hz–100 kHz) without one - reducing BOM count, PCB area, and startup delay versus traditional LDOs.
What is the thermal shutdown threshold of NCP500SN30T1?
NCP500SN30T1 features internal thermal shutdown that activates at approximately 160°C junction temperature. Once triggered, the device disables output until junction temperature falls below the hysteresis threshold (~140°C), protecting against sustained overloads or poor PCB thermal design.
Can NCP500SN30T1 be used with 1.0 V logic enable signals?
Yes, NCP500SN30T1 supports direct interface with 1.0 V logic: its enable threshold is guaranteed ≥0.9 V for turn-on and ≤0.15 V for turn-off, providing robust noise margin and eliminating need for level-shifting circuitry in ultra-low-voltage systems.
Is NCP500SN30T1 compatible with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, NCP500SN30T1 is fully stable with ceramic output capacitors ≥1.0 µF and zero minimum ESR requirement. This eliminates reliance on tantalum or aluminum electrolytic caps, improving reliability, temperature stability, and transient response in portable designs.
