Product details
Overview
NCP512SQ33T1G from onsemi is a fixed-output CMOS low-quiescent-current linear voltage regulator delivering 3.3 V at up to 80 mA, featuring 40 µA typical quiescent current, 180 mV dropout at 80 mA, and ±2.0% output voltage accuracy - designed for battery-powered portable electronics requiring stable low-power biasing.
For engineers reviewing the NCP512SQ33T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include ultra-low IQ, SC-88A (SOT-353) package compatibility, enable-controlled standby mode, and ceramic-capacitor stability in space-constrained handheld systems.
Technical Context
The NCP512SQ33T1G integrates a PMOS pass transistor, precision voltage reference, error amplifier, and thermal/current-limit protection - enabling stable regulation with minimal external components. Its enable input provides logic-level control (VTH = 0.3 V low / 1.3 V high), and it operates across −40 °C to +85 °C ambient without requiring minimum load or specific ESR output capacitors.
Designed for low-noise, low-dissipation operation, the device achieves 180 mV dropout at full 80 mA load and 3.3 V output, supports input voltages from 3.3 V to 6.0 V, and delivers 180 µVRMS output noise (100 Hz–100 kHz) with 1 µF ceramic output capacitance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.3 V ±2.0% - ensures reliable microcontroller core/buffer rail compliance under temperature and load variation. |
| Quiescent Current | 40 µA typical - enables multi-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes or standby circuits. |
| Dropout Voltage | 180 mV at 80 mA - allows operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0 V min) or two-cell alkaline (3.2 V min) sources. |
| Operating Temp Range | −40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for industrial-grade portable instrumentation and consumer handhelds. |
| Input Voltage Range | 0 V to 6.0 V - accommodates unregulated battery inputs with headroom for transient spikes. |
| Output Noise | 180 µVRMS (100 Hz–100 kHz) - suitable for analog front-ends and RF power management without added filtering. |
| Ripple Rejection | 50 dB at 1 kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
Pinout & Package
The NCP512SQ33T1G is housed in the SC-88A (SOT-353) surface-mount package - a 5-pin, 2.0 mm × 2.1 mm × 0.9 mm micro-miniature outline compatible with standard 0.65 mm pitch reflow processes.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Vin | Positive input supply | Accepts 0–6.0 V unregulated source; requires local 1 µF decoupling per layout guidelines. |
| 2 - GND | Power ground reference | Low-impedance return path for input/output currents; must be routed with wide copper to minimize noise coupling. |
| 3 - Enable | Logic-controlled on/off input | Pulled high to Vin for regulation; pulled low (<0.3 V) disables output and reduces IQ to ≤0.1 µA. |
| 4 - N/C | No internal connection | Unbonded pad - electrically isolated; no routing or soldering required. |
| 5 - Vout | Regulated 3.3 V output | Delivers up to 80 mA with <±2.0% accuracy; stable with 1 µF ceramic capacitor (no ESR requirement). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 40 µA typical - extends battery runtime in IoT edge sensors and wearable devices operating >1 year on coin cells. |
| Low-dropout PMOS architecture | 180 mV dropout at 80 mA - maintains regulation down to 3.48 V input for 3.3 V output, maximizing usable battery capacity. |
| Ceramic-capacitor stability | Stable with 1 µF X5R/X7R ceramics - eliminates need for tantalum or electrolytic caps, reducing BOM cost and board area. |
| Enable-controlled shutdown | Sub-µA disable current - allows system-level power sequencing and deep-sleep modes without external FETs. |
| Integrated protection | Thermal shutdown (>160 °C) and current limit (~150–400 mA) - prevents damage during overload or PCB thermal runaway. |
Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Wireless Remote Controls |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-IQ LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-3302E/MB | 4 µA IQ, 6 V max input, 250 mV dropout at 250 mA - higher current but larger SOT-23-3 package. | Preferred for higher-load designs (>100 mA) where ultra-low IQ dominates over size constraints. | Select when >250 mA output capability is needed and SC-88A footprint is not mandatory. |
| Torex XC6206P332MR-G | 1.0 µA IQ, 6.0 V max input, 350 mV dropout at 80 mA - lower IQ but higher dropout and same SC-88A package. | Better for multi-year coin-cell applications where dropout margin is less critical than standby current. | Choose when longest possible shelf life is required and input voltage remains ≥3.65 V under load. |
Compared with MCP1700T-3302E/MB and XC6206P332MR-G, the NCP512SQ33T1G offers the optimal balance of ultra-low IQ, low dropout, and micro-package size - making it ideal for space- and battery-limited 3.3 V systems where 80 mA peak load suffices.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCP512SQ33T1G?
The NCP512SQ33T1G has an absolute maximum input voltage (VIN) of 6.0 V, as specified in the Maximum Ratings table. Operation above this level risks permanent damage. For reliable 3.3 V output, the recommended input range is 3.3 V to 6.0 V - ensuring sufficient headroom for dropout while avoiding overstress conditions.
Does the NCP512SQ33T1G require an external pull-up resistor on the Enable pin?
No, the NCP512SQ33T1G does not require an external pull-up on the Enable pin. If unused, the Enable pin must be directly connected to Vin to ensure regulation. The device specifies VTH(HI) = 1.3 V minimum for turn-on, and internal biasing eliminates need for external resistors - simplifying layout and reducing component count.
Can the NCP512SQ33T1G operate with a 1 µF ceramic output capacitor?
Yes, the NCP512SQ33T1G is explicitly characterized and guaranteed stable with a 1.0 µF ceramic capacitor (X5R/X7R dielectric), as confirmed in the Applications Information section. Unlike many LDOs, it imposes no minimum ESR requirement - enabling use of low-cost, small-footprint MLCCs without risk of oscillation.
What is the thermal shutdown threshold of the NCP512SQ33T1G?
The NCP512SQ33T1G incorporates internal thermal protection that activates at approximately 160 °C junction temperature, turning off the output to prevent damage. Recovery occurs automatically once the junction cools below the hysteresis threshold (~140 °C). This feature is independent of ambient temperature and ensures robustness during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design.
Is the NCP512SQ33T1G RoHS-compliant and Pb-free?
Yes, the NCP512SQ33T1G is a Pb-free device, as explicitly stated in the Features section and confirmed by the "G" suffix and "Pb-Free Package" notation in the Ordering Information table. It complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) requirements for SC-88A packaging.
