Product details
Overview
NCP500SN30T2G from onsemi is a fixed-output, low-noise, low-dropout linear regulator delivering 3.0 V at up to 150 mA. It features an ultra-low dropout voltage of 170 mV at full load, 50 µVRMS output noise (10 Hz–100 kHz, no bypass capacitor), and fast 20 µs enable turn-on time. Designed for noise-sensitive RF and analog circuits in portable battery-powered systems, it operates from 1.8 V to 6.0 V input and supports direct 1.0 V logic enable.
For engineers reviewing the NCP500SN30T2G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include dropout performance at 150 mA, RMS noise without external bypass, thermal shutdown behavior, TSOP-5 package compatibility, and AEC-Q100 qualification status for automotive use cases.
Technical Context
The NCP500SN30T2G uses a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout and eliminating the need for an external noise-bypass capacitor. Its internal error amplifier maintains ±2.5% output accuracy over −40°C to +85°C and load currents from 1 mA to 150 mA.
Enable functionality is implemented with a logic-compatible threshold (0.9 V high, 0.15 V low) and sub-100 nA bias current, allowing direct interfacing with low-voltage microcontrollers. Thermal shutdown activates at ~160°C, and current limit protects against sustained short-circuit conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.0 V ±2.5% (guaranteed over −40°C to +85°C, 1–150 mA load) |
| Max Output Current | 150 mA continuous (with thermal derating above ambient) |
| Dropout Voltage | 170 mV at 150 mA (enables regulation down to Vin = 3.17 V) |
| Output Noise | 50 µVRMS, 10 Hz–100 kHz (no external bypass capacitor required) |
| Enable Threshold | 0.9 V (logic high turn-on), 0.15 V (logic low turn-off) |
| Quiescent Current | 185 µA typical at 150 mA load (low ground current improves efficiency in standby) |
| Ripple Rejection | 62 dB at 1 kHz (suppresses switching noise from upstream SMPS) |
Pinout & Package
Package: TSOP-5 (Case 483), 5-pin surface-mount plastic package, 2.8 mm × 2.9 mm × 1.1 mm profile, Pb-free and RoHS compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Vin | Positive input supply (1.8–6.0 V); requires 1.0 µF ceramic decoupling close to pin |
| 2 | GND | Power ground reference; low-impedance connection critical for noise performance |
| 3 | Enable | Active-high digital control; driven directly by 1.0 V logic; float or tie to Vin if unused |
| 4 | Vout | Regulated 3.0 V output; minimum 1.0 µF ceramic capacitor required for stability |
| 5 | N/C | No internal connection; must remain unconnected per datasheet |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 170 mV @ 150 mA enables operation from single Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V) with margin |
| Noise suppression | 50 µVRMS without bypass capacitor simplifies BOM and layout for RF/analog stages |
| Fast enable response | 20 µs turn-on time supports dynamic power sequencing in multi-rail systems |
| Low-voltage enable | 0.9 V logic-high threshold interfaces directly with 1.0 V I/O domains (e.g., modern SoCs) |
| Thermal & current protection | Internal shutdown at ~160°C and current limiting prevent damage during fault conditions |

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/MB | 300 mA rating, higher quiescent current (2.5 µA vs. 185 µA), SOT-23-5 package | Lacks AEC-Q100 qualification; not recommended for automotive camera modules | Preferred where higher output current is needed and automotive qualification is unnecessary |
| TLC7703IPW | 3.3 V fixed output only; 200 mA rating; requires external bypass capacitor for low noise | Higher noise floor (120 µVRMS) limits use in VCO/PLL supply rails | Consider only when 3.3 V output is mandatory and board space allows extra capacitor |
Compared with MCP1700T-3002E/MB and TLC7703IPW, the NCP500SN30T2G delivers superior noise performance without external components, tighter output accuracy, and automotive qualification-making it optimal for space-constrained, noise-sensitive, and safety-relevant designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for NCP500SN30T2G?
The absolute maximum input voltage for NCP500SN30T2G is 6.0 V, as specified in the Maximum Ratings table. Operation above this level risks permanent device damage. For reliable long-term use, input should be kept ≤6.0 V under all conditions including transient spikes, and derated for thermal considerations at high ambient temperatures.
Does NCP500SN30T2G require an external bypass capacitor for low-noise operation?
No, the NCP500SN30T2G achieves 50 µVRMS output noise (10 Hz–100 kHz) without any external bypass capacitor due to its integrated low-noise architecture. This eliminates BOM cost, PCB area, and potential startup delay issues associated with traditional LDOs requiring external bypass caps.
Is NCP500SN30T2G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the NCP500SN30T2G carries the NCV prefix variant designation and is AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade 3: −40°C to +85°C). It supports PPAP documentation and is suitable for automotive camera modules, infotainment power rails, and other non-safety-critical vehicle subsystems.
What is the thermal shutdown threshold for NCP500SN30T2G?
The NCP500SN30T2G incorporates internal thermal shutdown that activates at approximately 160°C junction temperature. Once triggered, the regulator disables output until junction temperature falls below the hysteresis threshold (~140°C), protecting against sustained overtemperature conditions during overload or poor heatsinking.
Can NCP500SN30T2G be used with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, the NCP500SN30T2G is fully stable with ceramic output capacitors as low as 1.0 µF and does not require minimum ESR. Ceramic capacitors are recommended for their low ESL, compact size, and superior high-frequency noise filtering-especially beneficial in RF and portable applications.
