Product details
Overview
NCP511SN50T1G from onsemi is a fixed-output, low-dropout linear voltage regulator delivering 5.0 V at up to 150 mA with ultra-low quiescent current (40 µA typical), 100 mV dropout at 100 mA, and ±2.0% output voltage accuracy - designed for battery-powered portable instrumentation requiring stable low-power biasing.
For engineers reviewing the NCP511SN50T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include dropout performance at light-to-moderate load, thermal shutdown behavior, enable threshold compatibility with 1.3 V logic high, and TSOP-5 footprint suitability for space-constrained handheld designs.
Technical Context
The NCP511SN50T1G integrates a PMOS pass transistor, precision voltage reference, error amplifier, and protection circuitry (current limit and thermal shutdown) in a single monolithic IC. It operates from 5.3 V to 6.0 V input (for 5.0 V output), with internal regulation maintaining output within ±2.0% across −40°C to +85°C ambient.
Enable control is active-high with 1.3 V turn-on threshold and 0.3 V turn-off threshold; pin 4 is no-connect (N/C). Ground pin current includes both quiescent and load-dependent components, enabling accurate power budgeting in ultra-low-power systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.0 V ±2.0% (1.455–5.100 V over temperature and load) |
| Max Output Current | 150 mA (guaranteed with ≥3% output drop margin) |
| Dropout Voltage | 75 mV typical at 100 mA (enables operation with Vin as low as 5.075 V) |
| Quiescent Current | 40 µA typical (enables >1-year battery life in 1 µA standby systems) |
| Line Regulation | 1.0 mV/V (ensures <10 mV output shift over full 5.3–6.0 V input range) |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at ~160°C junction (protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design) |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C (industrial-grade rating; not automotive-qualified) |
Pinout & Package
The NCP511SN50T1G is housed in a Pb-free TSOP-5 surface-mount package (3.00 × 1.50 × 0.95 mm, 0.95 mm pitch), optimized for compact portable layouts and compatible with standard reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Vin | Positive input supply (max 6.0 V); requires 1.0 µF ceramic decoupling adjacent to pin) |
| 2 | GND | Power ground reference; carries total input current (IOUT + IQ) |
| 3 | Enable | Active-high digital control (1.3 V min logic high); tie to Vin if unused |
| 4 | N/C | No internal connection - must remain unconnected per datasheet |
| 5 | Vout | Regulated 5.0 V output; requires ≥1.0 µF ceramic capacitor (low-ESR preferred) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 40 µA typical enables multi-year battery life in always-on sensors and meters |
| Low dropout at full load | 75 mV at 100 mA allows operation from single Li-ion cell (≥5.075 V) or 5 V rail with minimal headroom |
| Stable with ceramic capacitors | Zero ESR requirement eliminates need for tantalum; supports 1.0–10 µF ceramic output caps |
| Integrated protection | Current limit (800 mA typ) and thermal shutdown prevent damage during fault conditions |
| Precision output accuracy | ±2.0% over temperature ensures reliable logic-level compliance for 5 V microcontrollers and analog front-ends |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-5002E/TT | 250 mA max output, 1.6 µA quiescent current, SOT-23-3 package (no enable) | Lacks enable control and thermal shutdown; better for ultra-low-IQ but less robust under fault | Choose when lowest possible standby current is critical and enable/control is handled externally |
| TLS850B2TE/V33 | 500 mA output, integrated watchdog, AEC-Q100 Grade 2, PG-SCT595-5 package | Automotive-qualified with supervision features; higher cost and larger footprint | Choose only for automotive or safety-critical industrial systems requiring reset supervision |
Compared with MCP1700T-5002E/TT, the NCP511SN50T1G provides enable control and thermal protection at lower cost; versus TLS850B2TE/V33, it offers smaller size and lower price but lacks watchdog and automotive qualification.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for the NCP511SN50T1G?
The NCP511SN50T1G has an absolute maximum input voltage of 6.0 V. Operation above this level risks permanent damage. For reliable 5.0 V output, minimum recommended input is 5.075 V (to accommodate 75 mV dropout at 100 mA), and typical operating range is 5.3 V to 6.0 V.
Does the NCP511SN50T1G require an external capacitor on the Enable pin?
No, the NCP511SN50T1G does not require an external capacitor on the Enable pin. The Enable input is CMOS-compatible with 1.3 V logic-high threshold and 0.3 V logic-low threshold. If unused, it must be tied directly to Vin per datasheet guidance - adding capacitance may cause unintended delay or instability.
Can the NCP511SN50T1G be used with a 10 µF ceramic output capacitor?
Yes, the NCP511SN50T1G is stable with ceramic output capacitors ranging from 1.0 µF to 10 µF, including 10 µF X7R types. Larger values improve load transient response and noise rejection without compromising stability - no ESR requirements apply.
Is the NCP511SN50T1G qualified for automotive applications?
No, the NCP511SN50T1G is not automotive-qualified. It is rated for industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and carries no AEC-Q100 certification. For automotive use, select the NCV511SN50T1G variant, which is AEC-Q100 qualified and PPAP capable.
What is the thermal resistance (RJA) of the NCP511SN50T1G in its TSOP-5 package?
The NCP511SN50T1G has a specified thermal resistance of 250°C/W (junction-to-ambient, RJA) in the TSOP-5 package under standard JEDEC test conditions. Actual RJA depends heavily on PCB copper area and layout; doubling the thermal pad copper can reduce RJA by ~30–50°C/W.
