Product details
Overview
NCP511SN30T1 from onsemi is a fixed-output, low-dropout linear voltage regulator delivering 3.0 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 regulation under light-to-moderate load.
For engineers reviewing the NCP511SN30T1 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 NCP511SN30T1 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 eliminates the need for external compensation and supports stable operation with low-ESR ceramic capacitors as small as 1.0 µF.
It features an active-high Enable input that places the device into ultra-low-power standby (<0.1 µA IQ), and a dedicated N/C pin (Pin 4) confirming no internal connection - critical for PCB layout verification. The regulator operates across 1.5 V to 6.0 V input range while maintaining 3.0 V output with ≤0.8 mV/mA load regulation and 1.0 mV/V line regulation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.0 V ±2.0% over −40°C to +85°C - ensures reliable logic-level supply for microcontrollers and sensors without external trimming. |
| Max Output Current | 150 mA - sufficient for powering RF transceivers, display drivers, or sensor signal chains in handheld devices. |
| Dropout Voltage | 100 mV at 100 mA - enables operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V) or two-cell alkaline (up to 3.2 V) with minimal headroom loss. |
| Quiescent Current | 40 µA typical - extends battery life in always-on monitoring applications such as wearables or IoT endpoints. |
| Input Voltage Range | 0 to 6.0 V - supports direct connection to USB-powered systems or regulated intermediate rails without external pre-regulation. |
| Ripple Rejection | 50 dB at 1 kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at ~160°C junction temperature - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
Housed in a Pb-free TSOP-5 surface-mount package (3.00 × 1.50 × 0.95 mm, 0.95 mm pitch), the NCP511SN30T1 uses a standardized 5-pin configuration optimized for compact portable layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Vin | Positive input supply - accepts up to 6.0 V; requires local 1.0 µF decoupling capacitor placed adjacent to this pin. |
| 2 | GND | Power ground reference - must be connected to low-impedance system ground plane to ensure stability and noise immunity. |
| 3 | Enable | Active-high digital control - pulls output to high-impedance state when driven low; connect to Vin if unused. |
| 4 | N/C | No internal connection - must remain unconnected; not usable as a test point or auxiliary signal node. |
| 5 | Vout | Regulated 3.0 V output - delivers up to 150 mA with <0.8 mV/mA load regulation; requires ≥1.0 µF ceramic output capacitor. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 40 µA typical - reduces standby power draw to <120 nW per volt of input, enabling multi-year battery life in low-duty-cycle sensors. |
| Low-ESR capacitor support | Stable with 1.0 µF ceramic output capacitor - eliminates need for tantalum or aluminum electrolytic, lowering BOM cost and board area. |
| Enable-controlled shutdown | Reduces ground current to <0.1 µA - allows system-level power gating of peripheral rails without additional MOSFETs or controllers. |
| ±2.0% output accuracy | Over full temperature and load range - meets tight tolerance requirements for ADC references, analog front-ends, and core logic supplies. |
| Integrated thermal protection | Auto-recovery shutdown at ~160°C - prevents catastrophic failure during transient overloads or inadequate heatsinking. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-quiescent-current LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-3002E/MB | 300 mA output, 1.6 µA IQ, SOT-23-5 package - higher current but lower quiescent current; no enable pin. | Lacks enable control; unsuitable where system-level power sequencing or dynamic rail disabling is required. | Choose for higher-current, ultra-low-IQ applications without enable functionality; verify thermal performance at 150 mA in SOT-23. |
| TPS7A0530PDBVR | 200 mA output, 25 nA IQ, 6-pin SOT-23 - nanoscale quiescent current, integrated enable, but larger footprint and higher cost. | Requires 6-pin layout; offers tighter 1% accuracy but adds complexity for simple 3.0 V rail needs. | Prefer when sub-µA standby is mandatory and PCB space permits 6-pin SOT-23; avoid if TSOP-5 footprint or cost sensitivity is critical. |
Compared with MCP1700T-3002E/MB and TPS7A0530PDBVR, the NCP511SN30T1 provides optimal balance of ultra-low IQ (40 µA), enable control, TSOP-5 compactness, and proven industrial temperature reliability - making it ideal for space-constrained, battery-sensitive designs where moderate current and precise sequencing matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCP511SN30T1?
The NCP511SN30T1 has a maximum input voltage rating of 6.0 V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Exceeding this voltage risks permanent damage. For applications with input rails above 6.0 V - such as 12 V industrial buses - an external pre-regulator stage is required before the NCP511SN30T1 input.
Does the NCP511SN30T1 require an external capacitor on the Enable pin for stable operation?
No, the NCP511SN30T1 does not require an external capacitor on the Enable pin. The Enable input is CMOS-compatible and functions as a digital control signal; if unused, it must be tied directly to Vin. Adding capacitance may delay turn-on but is not necessary for stability or noise immunity.
Can the NCP511SN30T1 be used with a 10 µF ceramic output capacitor?
Yes, the NCP511SN30T1 is stable with ceramic output capacitors ranging from 1.0 µF to 10 µF and ESR values up to 3.0 Ω. A 10 µF ceramic capacitor improves load transient response and output noise suppression - especially beneficial in applications with pulsed loads like RF transceivers or optical sensors.
What is the thermal shutdown threshold of the NCP511SN30T1, and does it auto-recover?
The NCP511SN30T1 activates thermal shutdown at approximately 160°C junction temperature and auto-recovers once the die cools below the hysteresis threshold (~140°C). This behavior is confirmed in the "Thermal Protection" definition section and typical characteristics curves - ensuring safe, self-resetting operation during temporary overload conditions.
Is the NCP511SN30T1 pin-compatible with other variants in the NCP511 family, such as NCP511SN25T1G?
Yes, all NCP511 variants including NCP511SN30T1 share identical TSOP-5 pinout, package dimensions, and electrical interface - only the output voltage and marking differ. This allows drop-in replacement across 1.5 V to 5.0 V versions without PCB redesign, provided input/output voltage margins and load requirements remain within spec.
