Product details
Overview
NCP512SQ28T1G from onsemi is a fixed-output CMOS low-quiescent-current linear voltage regulator delivering 2.8 V at up to 80 mA, featuring 40 µA typical quiescent current, 200 mV dropout at 80 mA, and ±2.0% output voltage accuracy - designed for battery-powered portable electronics requiring stable low-power rail generation.
For engineers reviewing the NCP512SQ28T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include ultra-low IQ, SC-88A (SOT-353) package compatibility, enable-controlled standby mode, ceramic capacitor stability, and industrial −40 °C to +85 °C operation.
Technical Context
The NCP512SQ28T1G integrates a PMOS pass transistor, precision voltage reference, error amplifier, and thermal/current-limit protection in a single die. Its enable input provides logic-level control of output regulation, with threshold voltages of 1.3 V (turn-on) and 0.3 V (turn-off).
It operates with input voltages from 0 V to 6.0 V and maintains regulation down to a 200 mV dropout at full 80 mA load for the 2.8 V variant. Output noise is 180 µVRMS (100 Hz–100 kHz), and ripple rejection reaches 50 dB at 1 kHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.8 V ±2.0% - tightly regulated rail suitable for MCU core or sensor analog supply without external feedback. |
| Quiescent Current | 40 µA typical - enables multi-year battery life in always-on IoT sensors and wearables. |
| Dropout Voltage | 200 mV at 80 mA - allows operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0 V min) or two-cell alkaline (3.2 V min) with margin. |
| Enable Threshold | 1.3 V (high), 0.3 V (low) - compatible with 1.8 V/3.3 V GPIO without level-shifting. |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for industrial and consumer portable equipment environments. |
| Package | SC-88A (SOT-353), 5-pin surface-mount - 2.0 × 2.1 mm footprint ideal for space-constrained handheld PCBs. |
| Stability | Compatible with ≥1.0 µF ceramic output capacitors - eliminates need for tantalum or high-ESR parts. |
Pinout & Package
SC-88A (SOT-353) 5-pin surface-mount package with 0.65 mm pitch; moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1, Pb-free, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Vin | Positive input supply - accepts 0–6.0 V; must be decoupled with ≥1.0 µF ceramic capacitor near pin. |
| 2 | GND | Power ground reference - requires low-impedance PCB plane connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 3 | Enable | Active-high digital control - pulls low to disable output (IQ < 0.1 µA); tie to Vin if unused. |
| 4 | N/C | No internal connection - left unconnected; no routing or soldering required. |
| 5 | Vout | Regulated 2.8 V output - drives load up to 80 mA; requires ≥1.0 µF ceramic output capacitor. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 40 µA typical - extends battery runtime in sleep-mode applications such as remote controls and BLE sensors. |
| Low dropout architecture | 200 mV at 80 mA - enables efficient use of declining battery voltage without premature brownout. |
| Enable-controlled shutdown | Sub-µA standby current when disabled - supports system-level power gating for firmware-controlled power sequencing. |
| Ceramic capacitor compatibility | Stable with 1.0 µF X5R/X7R ceramics - reduces BOM cost and board area vs. tantalum alternatives. |
| Integrated protection | Thermal shutdown (≈160 °C) and current limit - prevents damage during overload or ambient temperature excursions. |
Applications
| Wearable Health Monitor | Industrial Wireless Sensor Node |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-2802E/TT | 350 mV dropout at 250 mA; 1.6 µA IQ; SOT-23-3 package (no enable) | Lacks enable pin and has higher dropout - unsuitable for tight-input-margin or controlled-standby designs. | Choose only if enable function is unnecessary and board layout accommodates larger SOT-23 footprint. |
| TNIV280M33X | 250 mV dropout at 150 mA; 2.5 µA IQ; SC-70-5 package; no enable pin | Same package but no enable functionality - requires external MOSFET for shutdown control. | Select when ultra-low IQ dominates over integrated enable, and discrete gate control is acceptable. |
Compared with MCP1700T-2802E/TT and TNIV280M33X, the NCP512SQ28T1G uniquely combines SC-88A footprint, integrated enable, 40 µA IQ, and 200 mV dropout - making it optimal for compact, battery-gated, low-voltage portable systems where all three attributes are required simultaneously.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCP512SQ28T1G?
The NCP512SQ28T1G supports an absolute maximum input voltage of 6.0 V. Exceeding this rating may cause permanent damage. For reliable operation with 2.8 V output, recommended input range is 3.0 V to 5.5 V to maintain sufficient dropout margin and thermal safety under 80 mA load.
Does the NCP512SQ28T1G require an external pull-up resistor on the Enable pin?
No, the NCP512SQ28T1G does not require an external pull-up on the Enable pin. When unused, the Enable pin must be directly connected to Vin to ensure regulation. Internal circuitry does not provide pull-up; leaving it floating may result in undefined output state or increased leakage current.
Can the NCP512SQ28T1G operate with a 1.0 µF ceramic output capacitor?
Yes, the NCP512SQ28T1G is explicitly characterized and stabilized for use with ≥1.0 µF ceramic capacitors (X5R/X7R dielectrics). This eliminates ESR dependency and simplifies layout - unlike older LDOs requiring minimum ESR or tantalum capacitors.
What is the thermal shutdown trigger temperature for the NCP512SQ28T1G?
The NCP512SQ28T1G incorporates thermal protection that activates at approximately 160 °C junction temperature, disabling the output until the die cools below the hysteresis threshold. This safeguard prevents irreversible damage during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design.
Is the NCP512SQ28T1G pin-compatible with other variants in the NCP512 family?
Yes, all NCP512 variants including NCP512SQ28T1G share identical SC-88A (SOT-353) pinout and package dimensions. Voltage variants differ only in internal resistor network - enabling drop-in replacement across 1.3 V to 5.0 V outputs without PCB redesign.
