Product details
Overview
NCP511SN33T1 from onsemi is a fixed-output, CMOS low-dropout linear regulator delivering 3.3 V at up to 150 mA with ultra-low 40 µA quiescent current and 100 mV dropout at 100 mA. It integrates PMOS pass transistor, thermal shutdown, current limit, and enable control - designed for battery-powered portable electronics requiring stable low-power voltage regulation.
For engineers reviewing the NCP511SN33T1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include output accuracy (±2.0%), TSOP-5 package compatibility, enable logic threshold (0.3 V / 1.3 V), ceramic capacitor stability (≥1.0 µF), and industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The NCP511SN33T1 uses a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling low dropout and near-zero ground current increase under load. Its internal error amplifier compares a precision voltage reference against feedback from the regulated 3.3 V output, driving the pass element to maintain regulation across line (Vin = 4.3 V to 6.0 V) and load (1 mA to 150 mA) variations.
Enable functionality is implemented as a digital input with defined logic thresholds (VTH(HI) = 1.3 V, VTH(LO) = 0.3 V); when pulled low, the device enters standby with <0.1 µA quiescent current. Thermal shutdown activates at ~160°C, and current limit is internally set to ~800 mA for 3.3 V variants.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.3 V ±2.0% (1.0 mA to 150 mA, −40°C to +85°C) - ensures stable MCU core or sensor rail within tight tolerance. |
| Max Input Voltage | 6.0 V - supports single-cell Li-ion (4.2 V) or dual-cell alkaline (3.2 V) with margin for ripple. |
| Dropout Voltage | 100 mV at 100 mA - enables regulation down to Vin = 3.4 V, critical for battery end-of-life operation. |
| Quiescent Current | 40 µA typical (IOUT = 1–150 mA) - extends battery life in always-on monitoring circuits. |
| Line Regulation | 1.0 mV/V (1.5–4.4 V input range) - minimizes output drift during battery discharge or supply ripple. |
| Ripple Rejection | 50 dB at 1 kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding the LDO. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at ~160°C - protects device during overload or poor PCB thermal design without external circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
The NCP511SN33T1 is housed in a 5-pin 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 (0–6.0 V); must be decoupled with ≥1.0 µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| 2 | GND | Power ground reference; requires low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling and ground bounce. |
| 3 | Enable | Digital control input; logic high (>1.3 V) enables regulation, logic low (<0.3 V) disables output and reduces IQ to <0.1 µA. |
| 4 | N/C | No internal connection; must remain unconnected or floating - not tied to any potential. |
| 5 | Vout | Regulated 3.3 V output; requires ≥1.0 µF output capacitor (ceramic or tantalum) for stability and transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 40 µA typical under full 150 mA load - enables multi-year battery life in IoT sensors. |
| Low dropout voltage | 100 mV at 100 mA - sustains regulation through deep battery discharge in handheld devices. |
| High output accuracy | ±2.0% over temperature and load - eliminates need for post-regulation trimming in precision analog subsystems. |
| Stable with ceramic capacitors | Minimum 1.0 µF output capacitance - reduces BOM cost and board area vs. electrolytic/tantalum alternatives. |
| Integrated protection | Current limit (~800 mA) and thermal shutdown - prevents damage during short-circuit or thermal overload without external components. |

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-3302E/MB | 250 mA output, 1.6 µA IQ, SOT-23-5 package - lower quiescent current but higher dropout (600 mV @ 250 mA). | Better for ultra-low-power sleep modes; less suitable for high-current bursts or low-Vin battery operation. | Choose MCP1700T-3302E/MB if standby current dominates design; choose NCP511SN33T1 for better dropout and thermal robustness at 150 mA. |
| TPS70633DBVR | 200 mA output, 1.7 µA IQ, 170 mV dropout @ 150 mA, active-high enable - lower IQ but higher dropout and tighter layout constraints. | Preferred for space-limited designs needing lowest possible IQ; less tolerant of low-input-voltage brownout conditions. | Choose TPS70633DBVR for minimal IQ in compact layouts; choose NCP511SN33T1 for superior dropout performance and proven TSOP-5 thermal reliability. |
Compared with MCP1700T-3302E/MB and TPS70633DBVR, the NCP511SN33T1 offers the best balance of ultra-low dropout (100 mV), moderate quiescent current (40 µA), and industrial temperature rating - making it optimal for battery-powered systems where both runtime and voltage headroom are constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCP511SN33T1?
The NCP511SN33T1 has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 6.0 V. Operation above this level risks permanent damage. For inputs exceeding 6.0 V, an external pre-regulator (e.g., resistive divider or additional LDO) must be used - as documented in Figure 22 of the official datasheet. The NCP511SN33T1 itself must never be exposed to >6.0 V on its Vin pin.
Does the NCP511SN33T1 require an external pull-up on the Enable pin?
No, the NCP511SN33T1 does not require an external pull-up on the Enable pin. If unused, the Enable pin must be connected directly to Vin to ensure the device remains enabled. Leaving Enable floating may cause erratic behavior due to noise susceptibility. The internal logic thresholds (0.3 V low, 1.3 V high) are designed for direct MCU GPIO interfacing without external biasing.
Can the NCP511SN33T1 operate stably with a 0.47 µF ceramic output capacitor?
No - the NCP511SN33T1 requires a minimum output capacitance of 1.0 µF for guaranteed stability, as specified in the datasheet. Using 0.47 µF may result in oscillation or degraded transient response, especially under load steps. Ceramic capacitors ≥1.0 µF (X5R/X7R, ≤3.0 Ω ESR) are fully supported and recommended for optimal noise and load regulation performance.
What is the thermal shutdown threshold temperature for the NCP511SN33T1?
The NCP511SN33T1 features internal thermal shutdown that activates at approximately 160°C junction temperature, as stated in the "Thermal Protection" section of the datasheet. Once triggered, the device disables output until junction temperature falls below the hysteresis threshold (~140°C). This protection operates independently of load or input conditions and requires no external components.
Is the NCP511SN33T1 pin-compatible with other NCP511 variants like NCP511SN30T1?
Yes - all NCP511 variants (e.g., NCP511SN30T1, NCP511SN28T1, NCP511SN33T1) share identical TSOP-5 pinout, package dimensions, and electrical interface. Only the nominal output voltage differs. This allows drop-in replacement across voltage options without PCB redesign, provided the application can tolerate the specific output voltage and associated load regulation behavior.
