Product details
Overview
NCP502SQ34T1G from onsemi is a fixed-output, low-quiescent-current CMOS linear voltage regulator delivering 3.4 V at up to 80 mA with ultra-low 40 µA typical quiescent current, housed in the SC70-5 (SOT-353) package. It features PMOS pass transistor architecture, ±2.0% output voltage accuracy over temperature, and operates across −40 °C to +85 °C for portable battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the NCP502SQ34T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 80 mA (max 850 mV), enable threshold compatibility (1.3 V high / 0.3 V low), thermal performance in SC70-5 (RJA = 400 °C/W), and ceramic capacitor stability (1.0 µF input/output).
Technical Context
The NCP502SQ34T1G implements a PMOS-based LDO topology with internal voltage reference, error amplifier, and protection circuits including current limit and thermal shutdown. Its enable logic is active-high with defined turn-on/turn-off thresholds, and it requires no minimum load or specific ESR output capacitors.
Designed for low-noise, low-power operation, it achieves 55 dB ripple rejection at 1 kHz and 180 µVrms output noise (100 Hz–100 kHz). Dropout voltage is specified at 3.4 V output with 3% regulation loss, and line/load regulation are tightly controlled at 0.4 mV/V and 0.2 mV/mA respectively.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.4 V ±2.0% - stable regulation across −40 °C to +85 °C and 1.0–80 mA load. |
| Quiescent Current | 40 µA typical - enables multi-year battery life in always-on sensor or standby circuits. |
| Dropout Voltage | 850 mV max at 80 mA - supports operation with input as low as 4.25 V while maintaining 3.4 V output. |
| Ripple Rejection | 55 dB at 1 kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding the LDO. |
| Output Noise | 180 µVrms (100 Hz–100 kHz) - suitable for noise-sensitive analog rails (e.g., ADC references, RF bias). |
| Enable Threshold | 1.3 V (high), 0.3 V (low) - compatible with 1.8 V/3.3 V GPIO without level-shifting. |
| Thermal Resistance | 400 °C/W (SC70-5) - requires minimal PCB copper area for thermal management at ≤250 mW dissipation. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SC70-5 (SOT-353), 1.25 mm × 1.65 mm × 0.95 mm, Pb-free, moisture-sensitive level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Vin | Positive input supply rail; accepts 1.3 V to 12 V, must be ≥ Vout + dropout for regulation. |
| 2 | GND | Power ground reference; requires low-impedance connection to minimize noise and dropout error. |
| 3 | Enable | Active-high digital control; pulls device into ultra-low-IQ shutdown (<0.1 µA) when <0.3 V. |
| 4 | N/C | No internal connection; PCB trace may be omitted or left floating - no electrical function. |
| 5 | Vout | Regulated 3.4 V output; stable with 1.0 µF ceramic capacitor; no ESR requirement. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 40 µA typical - extends battery runtime in IoT sensors and wearables without sacrificing regulation. |
| Ceramic capacitor compatibility | Stable with 1.0 µF X5R/X7R ceramics - eliminates need for costly tantalum or aluminum electrolytics. |
| High accuracy output | ±2.0% over full temperature and load range - reduces margining requirements in precision power domains. |
| Integrated protection | Current limit and thermal shutdown - prevents damage during short-circuit or overload without external components. |
| Low-noise regulation | 180 µVrms broadband noise - avoids signal integrity degradation in audio, RF, and precision analog subsystems. |

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 | 3.4 V output, 250 mA rating, 1.6 µA quiescent current, SOT-23-3 package (no enable pin) | Lacks enable control and has higher max output current; better for simpler, always-on designs | Select when ultra-low IQ is critical and enable functionality is unnecessary. |
| Torex XC6206P342MR-G | 3.4 V output, 250 mA rating, 1 µA quiescent current, SOT-25 package (enable pin included) | Lower IQ but higher dropout (1.1 V @ 250 mA); not rated for automotive temp range | Prefer for ultra-long-life battery applications where dropout margin allows. |
Compared with MCP1700T-3402E/TT and XC6206P342MR-G, the NCP502SQ34T1G offers balanced trade-offs: moderate IQ (40 µA), integrated enable, industrial temperature range, and proven ceramic-capacitor stability - making it optimal for cost- and size-constrained portable electronics requiring design flexibility and reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for the NCP502SQ34T1G?
The NCP502SQ34T1G supports an absolute maximum input voltage of 12 V, as specified in the Maximum Ratings table. Operation above this level risks permanent damage. For reliable regulation at 3.4 V output, input must exceed 4.25 V (3.4 V + 850 mV dropout) - typical use cases apply 4.5 V to 6.0 V inputs to ensure margin across temperature and load.
Does the NCP502SQ34T1G require an external pull-up resistor on the Enable pin?
No, the NCP502SQ34T1G does not require an external pull-up on the Enable pin. When unused, the datasheet explicitly states that Enable should be connected directly to Vin to ensure default operation. The internal logic is designed for direct tie-to-rail use, eliminating BOM cost and board space for discrete resistors.
Can the NCP502SQ34T1G be used with ceramic capacitors smaller than 1.0 µF?
The NCP502SQ34T1G is characterized and guaranteed stable with 1.0 µF ceramic capacitors (X5R/X7R), and the datasheet does not validate stability below this value. Using smaller capacitance may compromise transient response and noise performance; therefore, 1.0 µF is the minimum recommended value for robust design across all conditions.
Is the NCP502SQ34T1G RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, the NCP502SQ34T1G is a Pb-free device per the datasheet marking note ("= Pb-Free Package") and complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. onsemi confirms halogen-free status for this part family in its material declarations - chlorine and bromine content are below 900 ppm each, meeting IPC-4101D requirements.
What is the thermal shutdown trigger temperature for the NCP502SQ34T1G?
The NCP502SQ34T1G incorporates thermal protection that activates at approximately 160 °C junction temperature, as stated in the Definitions section. Once triggered, the regulator shuts down output until junction temperature falls below the hysteresis threshold (~140 °C), preventing permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design.
