Product details
Overview
NCP512SQ15T1G from onsemi is a fixed-output 1.5 V CMOS low-quiescent-current linear voltage regulator in SC-88A (SOT-353) package, designed for battery-powered portable electronics. It delivers up to 80 mA output current with 40 µA typical quiescent current, 180 mV dropout at 80 mA, ±2.0% output voltage accuracy, and operates across −40 °C to +85 °C ambient temperature - ideal for cellular phone power rail regulation.
For engineers reviewing the NCP512SQ15T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include ultra-low IQ for standby power optimization, SC-88A footprint compatibility, enable-controlled shutdown, ceramic-capacitor stability, and industrial-temperature-grade LDO performance in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The NCP512SQ15T1G integrates a PMOS pass transistor, precision voltage reference, error amplifier, and thermal/overcurrent protection. Its enable input provides logic-level control (VTH(en) = 1.3 V typ. high, 0.3 V max. low), allowing system-level power sequencing without external circuitry.
Designed for use with low-ESR ceramic capacitors (≥1.0 µF), it achieves stable regulation without minimum load requirements and exhibits 50 dB ripple rejection at 1 kHz. Dropout behavior is characterized across temperature (−40 °C to +85 °C) and load (1–80 mA), with worst-case dropout of 200 mV at 80 mA per datasheet Table 3.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.5 V ±2.0% over −40 °C to +85 °C - ensures stable core/bias rail for low-voltage microcontrollers and sensors. |
| Quiescent Current | 40 µA typical (IQ) - enables multi-year battery life in always-on IoT sensor nodes. |
| Dropout Voltage | 180 mV at 80 mA, 3.0 V VOUT; 200 mV max at 80 mA, 1.5 V VOUT - supports operation from single-cell Li-ion or alkaline sources down to ~1.7 V input. |
| Output Current | 80 mA continuous - sufficient for powering RF transceivers, display drivers, or MCU peripherals in handheld instruments. |
| Enable Threshold | VTH(HI) = 1.3 V min., VTH(LO) = 0.3 V max. - compatible with 1.8 V and 3.3 V GPIOs for clean power gating. |
| Thermal Range | −40 °C to +85 °C operating ambient - validated for consumer and industrial portable equipment environments. |
| Noise & PSRR | 180 µVRMS (100 Hz–100 kHz), 50 dB ripple rejection @ 1 kHz - preserves signal integrity in analog front-ends and audio subsystems. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SC-88A (SOT-353), 5-pin surface-mount, 2.0 mm × 2.1 mm footprint, Pb-free, moisture-sensitive level 1 (MSL1).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Vin | Input power supply | Accepts 1.7 V to 6.0 V unregulated input; requires local 1.0 µF decoupling capacitor. |
| 2 - GND | Power ground reference | Low-impedance return path for input/output currents; must be routed with wide copper pour for thermal and noise control. |
| 3 - Enable | Logic-controlled ON/OFF input | Pull high to Vin to enable regulation; pull ≤0.3 V to disable and reduce IQ to 0.1 µA - enables system sleep mode. |
| 4 - N/C | No internal connection | Not bonded; must remain floating or grounded - no electrical function or thermal role. |
| 5 - Vout | Regulated output | Delivers stable 1.5 V ±2% to load; requires ≥1.0 µF ceramic output capacitor for transient stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 40 µA typical - extends battery runtime in always-on wearable sensors without compromising regulation. |
| Low-dropout PMOS architecture | 180 mV dropout at full 80 mA load - enables efficient regulation from near-dead batteries in portable medical devices. |
| Enable-controlled shutdown | Sub-µA disable current (0.1 µA max) - eliminates leakage during host MCU deep-sleep states. |
| Ceramic-capacitor compatible | Stable with 1.0 µF X5R/X7R ceramics - eliminates need for tantalum, reduces BOM cost and board area. |
| Industrial temperature range | −40 °C to +85 °C operation - qualified for deployment in outdoor handheld test equipment and automotive infotainment accessories. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-1502E/TT | 1.5 V fixed, 250 mA rating, 1.6 µA IQ, SOT-23-3 package (3-pin, no enable) | Lacks enable pin and N/C terminal; higher output current but larger footprint and no shutdown control | Select when ultra-low IQ dominates and enable functionality is unnecessary. |
| Torex XC6206P152MR-G | 1.5 V fixed, 80 mA, 1 µA IQ, SOT-25 package (5-pin, enable included), but only 450 mV dropout at 80 mA | Higher dropout limits usable input range; same enable logic but less efficient under low-VIN conditions | Select when lowest possible IQ is critical and input voltage remains >2.0 V. |
Compared with MCP1700T-1502E/TT and XC6206P152MR-G, the NCP512SQ15T1G uniquely balances ultra-low 40 µA quiescent current, integrated enable control, and low 180 mV dropout in a 5-pin SC-88A package - making it optimal for space- and battery-life-constrained portable systems requiring active power management.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCP512SQ15T1G?
The NCP512SQ15T1G has an absolute maximum input voltage (VIN) of 6.0 V, as specified in the Maximum Ratings table. Operation above this voltage risks permanent damage. For reliable 1.5 V output regulation, the recommended input range is 1.7 V to 6.0 V - ensuring sufficient headroom above dropout while maintaining thermal safety under 80 mA load.
Does the NCP512SQ15T1G require an external resistor network to set output voltage?
No, the NCP512SQ15T1G is a fixed-output regulator with internally trimmed 1.5 V reference. The "15" in the part number explicitly denotes the 1.5 V nominal output; no external feedback resistors are needed or supported. This simplifies layout, improves accuracy, and eliminates drift from external component tolerances.
Can the NCP512SQ15T1G operate without connecting the Enable pin?
Yes - the NCP512SQ15T1G will function normally if the Enable pin (Pin 3) is tied directly to Vin. This configures the device for always-on operation. Leaving Enable floating is not recommended; it must be either pulled high to Vin or actively driven low to disable the output and achieve sub-µA quiescent current.
What is the thermal resistance (RJA) of the NCP512SQ15T1G in its SC-88A package?
The datasheet specifies a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RJA) of 400 °C/W for the NCP512SQ15T1G in the SC-88A package under standard JEDEC test conditions. Actual RJA depends on PCB copper area, layer stack-up, and airflow; adding thermal vias under the exposed pad (if present) or increasing copper pour can significantly improve thermal performance.
Is the NCP512SQ15T1G RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, the NCP512SQ15T1G is a Pb-free device per the datasheet marking diagram and ordering information, and conforms to RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. onsemi's product change notification documentation confirms halogen-free status for this SC-88A packaged variant, meeting IPC-4101D/93 requirements for chlorine and bromine content.
