Product details
Overview
NCP502SQ27T2G 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, 2.0% output voltage accuracy, and 850 mV dropout (at 80 mA, TA = −40 °C to +85 °C). It serves as a power management IC in portable battery-powered systems requiring stable low-voltage rail generation.
For engineers reviewing the NCP502SQ27T2G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include ultra-low IQ for extended battery life, SC70-5 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts, thermal shutdown protection, and enable-controlled standby mode with 1.3 V/0.3 V logic thresholds.
Technical Context
The NCP502SQ27T2G integrates a PMOS pass transistor, precision voltage reference, error amplifier, and internal protection circuits (current limit, thermal shutdown) in a single die. Its architecture enables stable regulation with ceramic output capacitors as low as 1.0 µF and eliminates ESR requirements.
It operates across an input voltage range of 1.3 V to 12 V, supports industrial temperature range (−40 °C to +85 °C), and features logic-level enable control with hysteresis-turning on when Enable ≥ 1.3 V and off when Enable ≤ 0.3 V-ensuring robust noise immunity in handheld environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.7 V ±2.0% (±54 mV) over temperature and load ensures stable MCU core or sensor supply rail. |
| Quiescent Current | 40 µA typical (0.1 µA max in shutdown) minimizes battery drain during idle/sleep modes in portable devices. |
| Dropout Voltage | 850 mV at 80 mA load (TA = −40 °C to +85 °C) allows operation from single-cell Li-ion or alkaline sources down to ~3.55 V. |
| Line Regulation | 0.4 mV/V typical enables stable output despite input ripple or battery voltage sag under varying load conditions. |
| Load Regulation | 0.2 mV/mA typical maintains tight output tolerance across 1–80 mA load changes, critical for mixed-signal SoC power domains. |
| Ripple Rejection | 55 dB at 1 kHz suppresses switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at ~160 °C junction temperature, protecting against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SC70-5 (Case 419A), micro-miniature surface-mount, 1.25 mm × 1.65 mm × 0.95 mm, Pb-free, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Vin | Positive power supply input | Accepts 1.3 V to 12 V unregulated input; requires local 1.0 µF decoupling capacitor for stability and transient response. |
| 2 - GND | Power supply ground reference | Must be connected to low-impedance system ground plane; shared return path for input/output currents and internal bias. |
| 3 - Enable | Logic-controlled enable input | Pull high ≥1.3 V to activate regulator; pull low ≤0.3 V to disable (IQ drops to 0.1 µA); unused pin must tie to Vin. |
| 4 - N/C | No internal connection | Not bonded; no electrical function-PCB trace may be omitted or left floating per layout best practices. |
| 5 - Vout | Regulated output voltage | Delivers 2.7 V ±2.0% to load; requires 1.0 µF ceramic output capacitor placed adjacent to pin for optimal noise and transient performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 40 µA typical enables >1-year battery life in always-on IoT sensors powered by coin cells. |
| Ceramic capacitor compatible | Stable with 1.0 µF output capacitance and zero minimum ESR requirement simplifies BOM and reduces board area vs. tantalum alternatives. |
| Enable-controlled standby | 1.3 V/0.3 V threshold hysteresis prevents oscillation near logic transition points and supports direct GPIO interfacing. |
| Integrated protection | Current limiting and thermal shutdown prevent damage during short-circuit or high ambient temperature operation without external circuitry. |
| High output accuracy | ±2.0% initial tolerance over full temperature and load range ensures reliable operation of 2.7 V–tolerant microcontrollers and analog peripherals. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-IQ LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-2702E/TT | 250 mA output, 1.6 µA IQ, SOT-23-3 package (no enable), 600 mV dropout at 250 mA | Lacks enable control and N/C pin; higher output current but larger footprint and different pinout | Select when enable functionality is unnecessary and higher load current is required with lower IQ. |
| TLC7701QDBVRQ1 | Automotive-grade (AEC-Q100), 150 mA, 35 µA IQ, TSOP-5 package, 1.2 V enable threshold | Qualified for automotive use; tighter enable threshold spec but same SC70-5-compatible pinout as NCP502SQ27T2G | Select for automotive or harsh-environment designs requiring PPAP support and extended temperature validation. |
Compared with MCP1700T-2702E/TT, NCP502SQ27T2G provides enable control and smaller SC70-5 size but lower output current; versus TLC7701QDBVRQ1, it offers broader commercial temperature range and lower cost, though without AEC-Q100 certification.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCP502SQ27T2G?
The NCP502SQ27T2G has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 12 V. Operation above this level risks permanent damage. For reliable continuous operation, input voltage should remain within 1.3 V to 12 V, with recommended derating above 85 °C ambient to maintain safe junction temperature.
Does the NCP502SQ27T2G require an external output capacitor, and what value is recommended?
Yes, the NCP502SQ27T2G requires an external output capacitor for stability and transient performance. The datasheet specifies a minimum of 1.0 µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to the Vout pin. Larger values improve load transient response and noise rejection, and the device remains stable across ESR values from a few mΩ up to 5.0 Ω.
Can the NCP502SQ27T2G be used without connecting the Enable pin?
Yes-the Enable pin of the NCP502SQ27T2G can be left unconnected only if tied directly to Vin via a short PCB trace. The datasheet explicitly states that unused Enable pins must be connected to Vin to ensure normal operation; floating the pin may cause unpredictable behavior or failure to regulate.
What is the dropout voltage of the NCP502SQ27T2G at 80 mA and full temperature range?
The dropout voltage of the NCP502SQ27T2G is specified as 850 mV at 80 mA load current across the full operating temperature range of −40 °C to +85 °C. This value is measured when Vout drops 3.0% below nominal (i.e., to 2.619 V), ensuring regulation is maintained under worst-case thermal and load conditions.
Is the NCP502SQ27T2G pin-compatible with other variants in the NCP502 family?
Yes-all SC70-5 packaged NCP502 variants (e.g., NCP502SQ15T2G, NCP502SQ33T2G) share identical pinout, package dimensions, and thermal characteristics. Only the output voltage and marking code differ; no PCB redesign is needed when substituting between fixed-voltage versions in the SQ suffix series.
