Product details
Overview
NCP502SN34T1G from onsemi is a fixed-output, low-quiescent-current CMOS linear voltage regulator delivering 3.4 V at up to 80 mA output current 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 down to 1.0 µF, and features enable control with 1.3 V (turn-on) and 0.3 V (turn-off) thresholds - ideal for battery-powered handheld instruments requiring stable low-power bias.
For engineers reviewing the NCP502SN34T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include dropout voltage (850 mV @ 80 mA), thermal protection, SC70-5/TSOP-5 package compatibility, and industrial temperature range compliance without external compensation.
Technical Context
The NCP502SN34T1G implements a PMOS-based LDO architecture with internal voltage reference, error amplifier, and thermal shutdown circuitry. Its enable input provides logic-level control of output regulation, and it operates stably with low-ESR ceramic capacitors as small as 1.0 µF on both input and output.
Designed for portable systems, it achieves ultra-low ground current (40 µA typ.) while maintaining 0.2 mV/mA load regulation and 0.4 mV/V line regulation. Dropout voltage is specified at 850 mV under full 80 mA load and across the full operating temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.4 V ±2.0% - tightly regulated supply for 3.3 V–3.4 V logic rails and analog sensors |
| Max Output Current | 80 mA - sufficient for microcontrollers, RF front-ends, and sensor signal chains in compact devices |
| Quiescent Current | 40 µA typical - enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring applications |
| Dropout Voltage | 850 mV @ 80 mA - allows operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0 V min) or two-cell alkaline (3.2 V min) |
| Input Voltage Range | Up to 12 V - supports wide-input designs including USB-powered and adapter-fed systems |
| Operating Temp | −40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for industrial and consumer-grade embedded environments |
| Ripple Rejection | 55 dB @ 1 kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters |
| Output Noise | 180 µVrms (100 Hz–100 kHz) - suitable for noise-sensitive analog circuits like ADC references |
Pinout & Package
Package: TSOP-5 (SOT-23-5, Case 483), Pb-free, surface-mount. Pin 4 is Vout; Pin 1 is Vin; Pin 2 is GND; Pin 3 is Enable; Pin 4 is Vout; Pin 5 is N/C (no internal connection).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Vin | Positive power supply input - must be ≥ (3.4 V + dropout) and ≤ 12 V; decoupled with ≥1.0 µF ceramic capacitor |
| 2 | GND | Power ground reference - requires low-impedance PCB trace to minimize noise coupling and thermal resistance |
| 3 | Enable | Logic-controlled ON/OFF input - pulled high to Vin for operation; pulled low (<0.3 V) disables output and reduces IQ to 0.1 µA |
| 4 | Vout | Regulated 3.4 V output - connects directly to load; requires ≥1.0 µF ceramic capacitor for stability and transient response |
| 5 | N/C | No internal connection - may be left unconnected or grounded; no electrical function or thermal role |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 40 µA typical - extends battery runtime in always-on IoT nodes and wearables |
| Stable with ceramic capacitors | 1.0 µF minimum output capacitance - eliminates need for costly tantalum or aluminum electrolytics |
| Integrated thermal shutdown | Activates at ~160 °C - prevents damage during overload or poor PCB thermal design |
| High output accuracy | ±2.0% over temp and load - ensures reliable operation of precision analog and digital peripherals |
| Low dropout voltage | 850 mV @ 80 mA - maximizes usable battery voltage range in space-constrained portable designs |
| Enable threshold control | 1.3 V turn-on / 0.3 V turn-off - compatible with standard GPIOs and open-drain controllers |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-3402E/TT | 300 mA max output, 1.6 µA IQ, SOT-23-3 (no enable) | Lacks enable pin and thermal shutdown; higher output current but lower accuracy (±2.5%) | Choose when ultra-low IQ dominates and enable control is unnecessary |
| TPS70634QDBVRQ1 | 150 mA, 1.7 µA IQ, automotive AEC-Q100 Grade 3, SOT-23-5 with enable | Higher cost, wider temp range (−40 °C to +125 °C), tighter accuracy (±1.5%), but larger dropout (1.1 V @ 150 mA) | Choose for automotive-grade reliability where 3.4 V rail must survive engine-bay thermal stress |
Compared with MCP1700T-3402E/TT and TPS70634QDBVRQ1, the NCP502SN34T1G offers balanced performance: moderate IQ (40 µA), integrated enable and thermal protection, and optimized dropout for 3.4 V loads - making it ideal for cost-sensitive industrial and portable consumer designs where full automotive qualification is not required.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCP502SN34T1G?
The NCP502SN34T1G has an absolute maximum input voltage of 12 V, as specified in the Maximum Ratings table. Operation above this voltage risks permanent damage. For reliable long-term use, keep Vin ≤ 12 V and ensure transient spikes are clamped below this limit using appropriate input protection.
Does the NCP502SN34T1G require an external capacitor on its output?
Yes, the NCP502SN34T1G requires a minimum 1.0 µF ceramic capacitor on the Vout pin for stability and transient response. The datasheet confirms it is stable with low-ESR ceramics and does not require specific ESR ranges - unlike older LDOs - simplifying layout and reducing BOM cost.
Can the NCP502SN34T1G be used in automotive applications?
The NCP502SN34T1G is rated for −40 °C to +85 °C and is not AEC-Q100 qualified. For automotive use, select the NCV502SN34T1G variant instead - it shares identical electrical specs but adds AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualification and PPAP capability per the ordering table.
What is the dropout voltage of the NCP502SN34T1G at 80 mA load?
The dropout voltage of the NCP502SN34T1G is 850 mV at 80 mA load and across the full operating temperature range (−40 °C to +85 °C), measured when Vout drops 3.0% below nominal. This allows operation from inputs as low as 4.25 V while maintaining regulation.
Is Pin 5 of the NCP502SN34T1G electrically connected internally?
No, Pin 5 of the NCP502SN34T1G is labeled N/C (No Connection) and has no internal connection. It may be left floating or tied to ground for mechanical stability, but it serves no electrical function and contributes no thermal path or signal integrity benefit.
