Product details
Overview
NCP502SN50T1G from onsemi is a fixed-output, low-quiescent-current CMOS linear voltage regulator delivering 5.0 V at up to 80 mA with 40 µA typical quiescent current, 2.0% output voltage accuracy, and 600 mV dropout (at 80 mA, 5.0 V output). It operates across −40 °C to +85 °C and is housed in the TSOP-5 (SOT-23-5) package, targeting battery-powered portable electronics requiring stable, ultra-low-power regulation.
For engineers reviewing the NCP502SN50T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include its 5.0 V fixed output, enable-controlled standby mode, ceramic-capacitor compatibility, and thermal-limited power dissipation in compact surface-mount form.
Technical Context
The NCP502SN50T1G integrates a PMOS pass transistor, precision voltage reference, error amplifier, and protection circuitry (current limit, thermal shutdown) in a single monolithic IC. Its enable input features logic-high threshold of 1.3 V and logic-low threshold of 0.3 V, supporting direct microcontroller interface without level-shifting.
Designed for low-noise, low-ESR ceramic output capacitors (≥1.0 µF), it achieves 55 dB ripple rejection at 1 kHz and 180 µVRMS output noise (100 Hz–100 kHz). Dropout voltage remains stable across temperature (−40 °C to +85 °C) and load (1–80 mA), with typical values of 600 mV at full load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0 V ±2.0% - ensures stable supply for 5 V logic, sensors, or analog circuitry without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 80 mA - sufficient for low-power microcontrollers, RF modules, or sensor interfaces in portable devices. |
| Quiescent Current | 40 µA typical - enables multi-year battery life in always-on or intermittently active applications. |
| Dropout Voltage | 600 mV at 80 mA - allows operation from as low as 5.6 V input while maintaining regulation. |
| Line Regulation | 0.4 mV/V - minimizes output variation when input voltage fluctuates (e.g., discharging Li-ion battery). |
| Load Regulation | 0.2 mV/mA - maintains tight output stability across dynamic load changes (e.g., MCU sleep-to-active transitions). |
| Ripple Rejection | 55 dB at 1 kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding the LDO. |
| Operating Temp Range | −40 °C to +85 °C - supports industrial and consumer-grade deployment without derating. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TSOP-5 (SOT-23-5), 3.0 mm × 1.5 mm × 0.95 mm, Pb-free, surface-mount.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Vin | Positive input supply | Accepts 5.6 V to 12 V input; must be decoupled with ≥1.0 µF ceramic capacitor near the pin. |
| 2 - GND | Power ground reference | Low-impedance return path for input/output currents; requires solid PCB ground plane connection. |
| 3 - Enable | Active-high enable control | Pull ≥1.3 V to activate regulator; pull ≤0.3 V to disable (reducing IQ to <0.1 µA); tie to Vin if unused. |
| 4 - N/C | No internal connection | Not bonded internally; PCB trace may be omitted or left floating-no electrical function. |
| 5 - Vout | Regulated output | Delivers stable 5.0 V; requires ≥1.0 µF ceramic output capacitor placed adjacent to pin for stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 40 µA typical - extends battery runtime in IoT sensors and wearables where standby dominates duty cycle. |
| Ceramic capacitor compatibility | Stable with 1.0 µF+ X5R/X7R ceramics - eliminates need for costly tantalum or aluminum electrolytics. |
| Enable-controlled shutdown | Logic-compatible thresholds (1.3 V high / 0.3 V low) - enables direct GPIO control from 1.8 V or 3.3 V MCUs. |
| Thermal shutdown protection | Activates at ~160 °C junction temperature - prevents permanent damage during overload or poor heatsinking. |
| High PSRR at audio frequencies | 55 dB @ 1 kHz - effectively filters noise from shared power rails in mixed-signal handheld systems. |
| Precision output accuracy | ±2.0% over temp and load - ensures reliable operation of ADC references, comparators, and digital I/O without calibration. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-5002E/TT | Same 5.0 V output, 250 mA max, but higher 1.6 µA quiescent current; SOT-23-3 (no enable pin) | Lacks enable control; suited for always-on, higher-current loads where pin count is constrained | Select when enable functionality is unnecessary and >80 mA output is required. |
| TPS70650DBVR | 5.0 V output, 150 mA, 1 µA quiescent current, enable pin, but requires minimum 2.2 µF output capacitance | Higher output capacitance requirement increases BOM cost and board area vs. NCP502SN50T1G's 1.0 µF | Select when ultra-low IQ (<1 µA) is critical and ceramic capacitor size/cost is secondary. |
Compared with MCP1700T-5002E/TT and TPS70650DBVR, the NCP502SN50T1G uniquely balances ultra-low IQ (40 µA), integrated enable, minimal 1.0 µF ceramic capacitor support, and industry-standard TSOP-5 footprint-making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-sensitive designs needing controlled power sequencing.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCP502SN50T1G?
The NCP502SN50T1G has an absolute maximum input voltage of 12 V, as specified in the Maximum Ratings table. Operation above this voltage risks permanent device damage. For reliable 5.0 V regulation, the recommended input range is 5.6 V (5.0 V + dropout) to 12 V, with thermal limits applying at higher loads and ambient temperatures.
Does the NCP502SN50T1G require an external resistor network to set the output voltage?
No, the NCP502SN50T1G is a fixed-output regulator with factory-trimmed 5.0 V output. It contains internal resistors and does not support adjustable output via external feedback components. This simplifies design and improves accuracy versus adjustable LDOs requiring external resistor matching.
Can the NCP502SN50T1G operate with a 1.0 µF ceramic output capacitor?
Yes, the NCP502SN50T1G is explicitly designed and characterized for stability with 1.0 µF ceramic capacitors (X5R/X7R dielectrics), as confirmed in the Applications Information section. Larger values improve transient response and noise suppression but are not required for basic regulation.
What is the thermal resistance (RJA) of the NCP502SN50T1G in its TSOP-5 package?
The NCP502SN50T1G in the TSOP-5 (Case 483) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RJA) of 205 °C/W under standard test conditions (1 oz copper, 100 mm² pad). This value assumes a specific PCB layout; actual thermal performance depends on copper area, layer count, and airflow.
Is the NCP502SN50T1G pin-compatible with other variants in the NCP502 family?
Yes, all NCP502 variants-including NCP502SN35T1G, NCP502SN36T1G, and NCP502SN50T1G-share identical TSOP-5 pinout and package dimensions. Only the output voltage and marking code differ; no PCB redesign is needed when substituting between voltage options within the same suffix family.
