Product details
Overview
NCP502SQ27T1G from onsemi is a fixed-output, low-quiescent-current CMOS linear voltage regulator delivering 2.7 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 features PMOS pass transistor architecture, ultra-low dropout (850 mV at 80 mA), and integrated thermal/overcurrent protection - optimized for battery-powered handheld instruments and portable consumer electronics.
For engineers reviewing the NCP502SQ27T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its SC70-5 package footprint, enable threshold compatibility (1.3 V high / 0.3 V low), ceramic capacitor stability, and industrial temperature range without requiring external compensation.
Technical Context
The NCP502SQ27T1G implements a PMOS-based LDO architecture with internal voltage reference, error amplifier, and protection circuitry - enabling stable regulation with minimal headroom. Its enable input controls device state via logic-level thresholds, and it operates without minimum load or ESR constraints on the output capacitor.
Designed for low-noise, low-power systems, the device achieves 55 dB ripple rejection at 1 kHz and 180 µVRMS output noise (100 Hz–100 kHz). Dropout voltage remains ≤850 mV across full temperature and load range (−40 °C to +85 °C, 0–80 mA), supporting operation from single-cell Li-ion or multi-cell alkaline sources.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.7 V ±2.0% at 10 mA, maintained across −40 °C to +85 °C ambient - ensures stable MCU core or sensor bias under battery discharge. |
| Quiescent Current | 40 µA typical (Enable = Vin); 0.1 µA in shutdown - extends battery life in always-on monitoring circuits. |
| Dropout Voltage | 850 mV max at 80 mA and full temperature range - allows regulation from 3.55 V input down to end-of-life battery voltages. |
| Line Regulation | 0.4 mV/V typical - minimizes output drift during input supply fluctuations (e.g., USB port variation or battery sag). |
| Load Regulation | 0.2 mV/mA typical - maintains tight voltage control across dynamic load steps (e.g., RF transmit bursts). |
| Ripple Rejection | 55 dB at 1 kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Output Noise | 180 µVRMS (100 Hz–100 kHz) - suitable for noise-sensitive analog sensors and ADC references. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SC70-5 (Case 419A), micro-miniature surface-mount, 1.25 mm × 1.65 mm × 0.95 mm profile - enables high-density PCB layouts in space-constrained portable designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Vin | Positive power supply input | Accepts 2.7 V to 12 V input; must be decoupled with ≥1.0 µF ceramic capacitor near pin for transient stability. |
| 2 - GND | Power ground reference | Low-impedance return path for both input and output currents; requires solid copper pour to minimize noise coupling. |
| 3 - Enable | Logic-controlled on/off input | Active-high enable (1.3 V threshold); pull to Vin for always-on operation or drive low for <0.1 µA shutdown current. |
| 4 - N/C | No internal connection | Not bonded internally; PCB trace may be omitted or left floating - no electrical function or thermal impact. |
| 5 - Vout | Regulated output voltage | Delivers 2.7 V ±2.0% to load; supports ceramic or tantalum output capacitors ≥1.0 µF with ESR up to 5 Ω. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 40 µA typical operating current enables >1-year battery life in 10 µA average-load IoT endpoints. |
| Ceramic capacitor compatible | Stable with 1.0 µF X5R/X7R ceramics - eliminates need for costly tantalum or aluminum electrolytics. |
| Thermal & current protection | Internal foldback current limit and thermal shutdown at ~160 °C prevent damage during overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Industrial temperature range | Specified from −40 °C to +85 °C - supports deployment in automotive cabins, outdoor meters, and industrial handhelds. |
| Low output voltage option | 2.7 V output matches common low-voltage MCU I/O rails and sensor supply requirements without external dividers. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-2702E/TT | 250 mA output, 1.6 µA quiescent current, SOT-23-3 package (no enable) | Lacks enable control and thermal shutdown; higher output current but larger dropout (600 mV @ 250 mA) | Choose when ultra-low IQ dominates and enable/shutdown is unnecessary; verify thermal margin at 80 mA in SOT-23-3. |
| Torex XC6206P272MR-G | 150 mA output, 1 µA IQ, SOT-25 package with enable, ±2% accuracy | Higher max current and lower IQ, but 1.2 V min input limits use below 3.9 V input; no automotive qualification | Prefer for longer battery life in new designs where input stays >3.9 V; not suitable for wide-input or automotive-grade use. |
Compared with MCP1700T-2702E/TT and XC6206P272MR-G, the NCP502SQ27T1G offers balanced trade-offs: robust enable functionality, guaranteed thermal protection, and validated performance down to 2.7 V input - making it optimal for legacy-compatible, safety-aware portable designs where pin count and reliability outweigh raw IQ minimization.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCP502SQ27T1G?
The NCP502SQ27T1G has an absolute maximum input voltage of 12 V, as specified in the Maximum Ratings table. Operation above this level risks permanent damage. For reliable long-term use, design input voltage to remain within 2.7 V to 12 V, with recommended derating for thermal management at high load currents.
Does the NCP502SQ27T1G require an external output capacitor, and what type is recommended?
Yes, the NCP502SQ27T1G requires a minimum 1.0 µF output capacitor for stability. Ceramic X5R or X7R types (e.g., TDK C1608X5R1A105K) are explicitly qualified and preferred due to low ESR and size efficiency. Tantalum capacitors are also supported, but ceramic offers superior transient response and reliability in portable applications.
Can the NCP502SQ27T1G be used without connecting the Enable pin?
Yes - if the Enable function is unused, the NCP502SQ27T1G datasheet specifies that the Enable pin must be connected directly to Vin to ensure normal operation. Leaving it floating may cause unpredictable behavior or oscillation due to noise coupling into the high-impedance input.
What is the dropout voltage of the NCP502SQ27T1G at 80 mA and 85 °C?
The dropout voltage of the NCP502SQ27T1G is 850 mV maximum at 80 mA load and across the full operating temperature range (−40 °C to +85 °C), as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Dropout Voltage" for 2.7 V–2.9 V output variants. This value is measured when Vout drops 3.0% below nominal.
Is the NCP502SQ27T1G RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the NCP502SQ27T1G is a Pb-Free device, as stated in the Features section and confirmed in the Ordering Information table (suffix "G" denotes Pb-Free packaging). It complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level MSL3 for reflow compatibility.
