Product details
Overview
NCP552SQ25T1 from onsemi is a fixed-output 2.5 V, 80 mA CMOS low-IQ NOCAP linear regulator in SC82-AB (SC70-4) package, featuring 2.8 µA typical quiescent current, ±2.0% output voltage accuracy, and an enable pin for ON/OFF control-designed for battery-powered portable devices requiring ultra-low standby power.
For engineers reviewing the NCP552SQ25T1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 80 mA (max 800 mV), operation without output capacitor, industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), and compatibility with low-ESR ceramic decoupling.
Technical Context
The NCP552SQ25T1 integrates a PMOS pass transistor, precision voltage reference, error amplifier, and thermal/overcurrent protection circuits. Its NOCAP architecture eliminates mandatory output capacitance, enabling stable regulation with only input decoupling (≥1.0 µF).
Enable functionality is implemented as a logic-controlled shutdown input with 1.3 V turn-on threshold and 0.3 V turn-off threshold; unused Enable must be tied to Vin. Dropout voltage is specified at 3.0% output deviation under full load across −40°C to +125°C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.5 V ±2.0% (ensures stable rail for 2.5 V logic or analog circuitry) |
| Quiescent Current | 2.8 µA typical (enables multi-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes) |
| Max Output Current | 80 mA (supports low-power microcontrollers, RF transceivers, and sensors) |
| Dropout Voltage | 800 mV max at 80 mA (allows operation down to Vin = 3.3 V for 2.5 V output) |
| Line Regulation | 4.5 mV/V (minimizes output variation during battery voltage sag) |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C (suitable for consumer and industrial ambient environments) |
| Input Voltage Range | Up to 12 V (supports single-cell Li-ion, dual-cell alkaline, or USB-powered systems) |
Pinout & Package
The NCP552SQ25T1 is housed in the SC82-AB (SC70-4) surface-mount package-1.8 mm × 1.15 mm footprint, 0.9 mm height, 4-pin configuration with 0.65 mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Power supply ground reference; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling |
| 2 | Vin | Positive input supply; requires ≥1.0 µF ceramic decoupling placed adjacent to pin |
| 3 | Vout | Regulated 2.5 V output; stable without output capacitor but benefits from ≥0.1 µF for transient response |
| 4 | Enable | Active-high enable control; pulls low to disable regulator (IQ drops to 0.1 µA); tie to Vin if unused |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| NOCAP operation | Stable regulation with no mandatory output capacitor-reduces BOM count and board space |
| Ultra-low IQ | 2.8 µA typical enables >10-year battery life in 10 µA average-load applications |
| Enable pin | Logic-compatible ON/OFF control with defined 1.3 V/0.3 V thresholds-no external pull-up needed |
| Thermal shutdown | Internal protection activates at ~160°C junction temperature-prevents damage during overload or poor heatsinking |
| Pb-free packaging | RoHS-compliant SC82-AB package supports lead-free reflow assembly per J-STD-020 |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCP552SQ25T1?
The NCP552SQ25T1 has a maximum input voltage rating of 12 V, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Operation above this voltage risks permanent device damage. For reliable 2.5 V output regulation, input should remain within 2.5 V + dropout (≤3.3 V at 80 mA) up to 12 V, with thermal limits observed at higher differentials.
Does the NCP552SQ25T1 require an output capacitor to function?
No, the NCP552SQ25T1 is designed as a NOCAP regulator and operates stably without an output capacitor. However, adding ≥0.1 µF ceramic capacitance improves load transient response and noise rejection-especially beneficial in systems with pulsed loads like RF transceivers or digital sensors.
What is the enable pin behavior of the NCP552SQ25T1?
The NCP552SQ25T1 enable pin is active-high: pulling it ≥1.3 V turns the regulator ON; pulling it ≤0.3 V disables output and reduces quiescent current to 0.1 µA. If unused, the pin must be tied directly to Vin-floating or capacitive coupling may cause erratic operation or increased leakage.
What is the dropout voltage specification for the NCP552SQ25T1 at full load?
At 80 mA output current and −40°C to +125°C junction temperature, the NCP552SQ25T1 has a maximum dropout voltage of 800 mV-defined as the Vin–Vout differential at which output drops 3.0% below nominal 2.5 V. This allows operation from a 3.3 V supply while maintaining regulation across temperature and load.
Is the NCP552SQ25T1 suitable for automotive applications?
The NCP552SQ25T1 is rated for −40°C to +85°C ambient operation and is not AEC-Q200 qualified. For automotive use, the pin-compatible NCV553SQ25T1 variant is specified for −40°C to +125°C and qualified for automotive applications-offering identical electrical performance with enhanced temperature and reliability validation.
