Product details
Overview
NCP511SN28T1G from onsemi is a fixed-output, low-dropout linear voltage regulator delivering 2.8 V at up to 150 mA with 40 µA typical quiescent current and 100 mV dropout at 100 mA - designed for battery-powered portable electronics requiring ultra-low power consumption and stable low-voltage rail generation.
For engineers reviewing the NCP511SN28T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its TSOP-5 package footprint, enable-controlled standby mode, ±2.0% output accuracy over −40°C to +85°C, compatibility with 1.0 µF ceramic output capacitors, and thermal shutdown protection.
Technical Context
The NCP511SN28T1G integrates a PMOS pass transistor, precision voltage reference, error amplifier, and protection circuitry (current limit and thermal shutdown) in a single monolithic IC. Its architecture enables stable regulation with minimal external components and no ESR requirements on the output capacitor.
It operates from 2.8 V to 6.0 V input, supports logic-level enable control (1.3 V turn-on threshold), and maintains regulation under load transients up to 150 mA while rejecting 50 dB of 1 kHz ripple - all within an industrial temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.8 V ±2.0% (ensures stable core/peripheral supply for 2.8 V–biased microcontrollers and sensors) |
| Max Output Current | 150 mA (supports moderate-power RF modules, display drivers, and sensor signal chains) |
| Dropout Voltage | 100 mV at 100 mA (enables operation down to Vin = 2.9 V, extending battery life in single-cell Li-ion or alkaline systems) |
| Quiescent Current | 40 µA typical (minimizes standby drain in always-on IoT nodes and wearables) |
| Input Voltage Range | 0 to 6.0 V (compatible with unregulated battery inputs, including up to 4× alkaline or 2S LiFePO₄) |
| Accuracy vs Temp | ±2.0% from −40°C to +85°C (guarantees consistent performance across automotive cabin and industrial environments) |
| Ripple Rejection | 50 dB at 1 kHz (suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding the LDO) |
Pinout & Package
The NCP511SN28T1G is housed in a Pb-free TSOP-5 surface-mount package (3.00 × 1.50 × 0.95 mm, 0.95 mm pitch), optimized for space-constrained portable designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Vin | Positive input supply - accepts 0–6.0 V; requires local 1.0 µF decoupling capacitor |
| 2 | GND | Power ground reference - must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling |
| 3 | Enable | Active-high digital control - pulls low to disable regulator (IQ drops to 0.1 µA); connect to Vin if unused |
| 4 | N/C | No internal connection - left floating or grounded; no electrical function |
| 5 | Vout | Regulated 2.8 V output - supports 1.0–10 µF ceramic/tantalum capacitors without stability concerns |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 40 µA typical - extends shelf life and runtime in battery-backed memory and real-time clocks |
| Low dropout voltage | 100 mV at 100 mA - enables use with aging batteries or low-headroom input sources |
| Enable control with logic threshold | 1.3 V turn-on / 0.3 V turn-off - compatible with 1.8 V and 3.3 V GPIOs without level-shifting |
| Thermal shutdown protection | Activates at ~160°C - prevents damage during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design |
| Stable with 1.0 µF ceramic output cap | No minimum ESR requirement - simplifies BOM and reduces cost vs. traditional LDOs needing tantalum |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-dropout linear regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-2802E/TT | 250 mA max output, 1.6 µA IQ, SOT-23-5 package, no enable pin | Lacks enable control; better for always-on ultra-low-IQ apps but less flexible for power sequencing | Choose when lowest possible quiescent current is critical and enable functionality is unnecessary. |
| TPS7A0528PDBVR | 200 mA max output, 25 µA IQ, 0.5 V dropout at 100 mA, SOT-23-5, integrated enable | Lower dropout and IQ, but tighter input voltage min (1.4 V) limits battery depth-of-discharge utilization | Prefer when higher efficiency at light loads and lower dropout are needed, and input stays ≥1.4 V. |
Compared with MCP1700T-2802E/TT and TPS7A0528PDBVR, the NCP511SN28T1G offers balanced trade-offs: mid-range IQ with robust enable control, wider input range (0–6.0 V), and proven thermal protection - making it ideal for cost-sensitive, thermally variable portable designs where flexibility and reliability outweigh extreme ultra-low-power demands.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCP511SN28T1G?
The NCP511SN28T1G has an absolute maximum input voltage of 6.0 V. Exceeding this rating risks permanent damage. For applications with higher input voltages (e.g., 12 V automotive), an external pre-regulator stage is required - as documented in Figure 22 of the official datasheet. The device is not internally rated for operation above 6.0 V under any condition.
Does the NCP511SN28T1G require a minimum output capacitor, and what type is recommended?
Yes - the NCP511SN28T1G requires a minimum 1.0 µF output capacitor, and ceramic capacitors are explicitly recommended and fully supported. Unlike many older LDOs, it imposes no minimum ESR requirement, enabling use of low-ESR MLCCs for improved transient response and reduced board area. Larger values (up to 10 µF) further enhance load transient suppression.
How does the enable pin function on the NCP511SN28T1G, and what happens when it is left unconnected?
The Enable pin on the NCP511SN28T1G is active-high with a 1.3 V typical turn-on threshold. When pulled low (<0.3 V), the device enters ultra-low-power standby (IQ ≈ 0.1 µA). If unused, the datasheet specifies that Enable must be tied directly to Vin - floating the pin is not permitted and may cause erratic behavior or increased leakage.
Is the NCP511SN28T1G suitable for automotive applications?
The NCP511SN28T1G itself is not automotive-qualified; however, its pin-compatible variant NCV511SN28T1G carries the NCV prefix, is AEC-Q100 qualified, and supports PPAP documentation. For automotive cabin modules requiring 2.8 V regulation, the NCV511SN28T1G is the designated qualified version - the NCP511SN28T1G is intended for industrial and consumer applications.
What thermal protection features does the NCP511SN28T1G include?
The NCP511SN28T1G incorporates internal thermal shutdown that activates at approximately 160°C junction temperature. Once triggered, the regulator disables output until junction temperature falls below the hysteresis threshold (~140°C), preventing irreversible damage during sustained overload or inadequate PCB heat sinking. This feature is fully integrated and requires no external components.
