Product details
Overview
NCP502SN33T1G from onsemi is a fixed-output, low-quiescent-current CMOS linear voltage regulator delivering 3.3 V at up to 80 mA with 40 µA typical quiescent current and ±2.0% output voltage accuracy over −40 °C to +85 °C. It uses a PMOS pass transistor, supports ceramic output capacitors as low as 1.0 µF, and features enable control with 1.3 V (high) / 0.3 V (low) thresholds - ideal for battery-powered handheld instruments requiring stable, ultra-low-power regulation.
For engineers reviewing the NCP502SN33T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 80 mA (850 mV max), thermal shutdown protection, SC70-5/TSOP-5 package compatibility, and industrial temperature range compliance without external compensation.
Technical Context
The NCP502SN33T1G implements a PMOS-based LDO architecture with internal voltage reference, error amplifier, and protection circuits including current limit and thermal shutdown (trip ~160 °C). Its enable input allows precise system-level power sequencing, and it operates stably with low-ESR ceramic capacitors down to 1.0 µF.
Designed for portable applications, it achieves 55 dB ripple rejection at 1 kHz and 180 µVRMS output noise (100 Hz–100 kHz), while maintaining load regulation of ≤0.8 mV/mA and line regulation of ≤3.0 mV/V - all without requiring minimum load current or specific ESR constraints.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.3 V ±2.0% (ensures reliable 3.3 V logic rail tolerance for microcontrollers and sensors) |
| Max Output Current | 80 mA (supports low-power peripherals like BLE radios, display drivers, and sensor interfaces) |
| Quiescent Current | 40 µA typical (enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring devices) |
| Dropout Voltage | 850 mV max at 80 mA (allows operation from single-cell Li-ion or two-cell alkaline inputs) |
| Operating Temp Range | −40 °C to +85 °C (meets industrial-grade environmental requirements) |
| Ripple Rejection | 55 dB at 1 kHz (suppresses switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters) |
| Thermal Shutdown | ~160 °C (prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design) |
Pinout & Package
Package: TSOP-5 (SOT-23-5, Case 483), Pb-free, 3.00 × 1.50 × 0.95 mm body height 0.95 mm, pin pitch 0.95 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Vin | Positive power supply input | Accepts 1.3 V to 12 V input; must be decoupled with ≥1.0 µF capacitor near pin |
| 2 - GND | Power supply ground | Reference node for regulation and enable threshold; requires low-impedance PCB trace |
| 3 - Enable | Active-high enable control | Pull ≥1.3 V to activate regulator; pull ≤0.3 V to disable (IQ drops to 0.1 µA) |
| 4 - N/C | No internal connection | Not bonded; may be left floating or grounded - no electrical function |
| 5 - Vout | Regulated output voltage | Delivers stable 3.3 V; requires ≥1.0 µF ceramic capacitor directly at pin for stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 40 µA typical enables >10-year battery life in coin-cell–powered IoT endpoints |
| Ceramic-capacitor compatible | Stable with 1.0 µF–10 µF X5R/X7R ceramics - eliminates need for costly tantalum or aluminum electrolytics |
| Enable-controlled shutdown | Reduces ground current to 0.1 µA when disabled - critical for deep-sleep MCU modes |
| ±2.0% output accuracy | Guaranteed across temp/load ensures reliable ADC reference and I/O voltage margining |
| Thermal and current protection | Internally limits fault energy - no external foldback or shutdown circuitry required |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-3302E/MB | 300 mA max output, 1.6 µA IQ, SOT-23-3 package (no enable, no N/C) | Lacks enable control and thermal shutdown; suited only for non-critical, low-current loads | Select when ultra-low IQ dominates and enable/shutdown is unnecessary |
| TPS7A0533PDBVR | 200 mA max, 25 µA IQ, 1.4 V min Vin, SOT-23-5 with enable and active-low reset | Lower dropout (175 mV @ 100 mA), but higher cost and tighter layout sensitivity | Select when <200 mV dropout is mandatory and board space permits larger die size |
Compared with MCP1700T-3302E/MB and TPS7A0533PDBVR, the NCP502SN33T1G offers balanced performance: sufficient 80 mA drive, robust 850 mV dropout headroom, integrated thermal/current protection, and proven ceramic-capacitor stability - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, battery-constrained industrial and medical edge devices where reliability trumps marginal IQ reduction.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCP502SN33T1G?
The NCP502SN33T1G has an absolute maximum input voltage (Vin) rating of 12 V, as specified in the Maximum Ratings table. Operation above this level risks permanent damage. For reliable 3.3 V output, input should remain ≥4.15 V (3.3 V + 850 mV dropout) under full 80 mA load, and derating is recommended above 85 °C ambient.
Does the NCP502SN33T1G require an external capacitor on the enable pin?
No, the NCP502SN33T1G does not require an external capacitor on the enable pin. The enable input is CMOS-compatible with high impedance; it functions correctly with direct connection to a GPIO or resistor divider. Adding capacitance may slow turn-on/off response and is unnecessary unless intentional soft-start behavior is needed - which is not supported by the device's internal design.
Can the NCP502SN33T1G be used with a 10 µF ceramic output capacitor?
Yes, the NCP502SN33T1G is explicitly designed for stability with ceramic output capacitors ranging from 1.0 µF to 10 µF, including X5R and X7R dielectrics. Larger values improve load transient response and noise filtering but do not affect loop stability - unlike older LDOs requiring minimum ESR, this device imposes no ESR constraints.
Is the NCP502SN33T1G pin-compatible with the NCP502SN33T2G?
No, the NCP502SN33T1G (TSOP-5 package) and NCP502SN33T2G (SC70-5 package) share identical electrical specifications and pin functions but differ in physical package dimensions, pin pitch (0.95 mm vs. 0.65 mm), and thermal resistance (205 °C/W vs. 400 °C/W). They are not mechanically interchangeable without PCB redesign.
What is the purpose of Pin 4 (N/C) on the NCP502SN33T1G?
Pin 4 on the NCP502SN33T1G is a true no-connect (N/C) terminal with no internal bond wire or circuit connection. It may be left unconnected, tied to ground, or routed as a keep-out zone - none affects device operation. This pin exists for mechanical symmetry in the TSOP-5 mold and simplifies automated assembly handling; it carries zero electrical function.
