Product details
Overview
NCP553SQ25T1G from onsemi is a fixed-output, NOCAP low-dropout linear regulator delivering 2.5 V at up to 80 mA with ultra-low 2.8 µA quiescent current, housed in SC82-AB (SC70-4) package. It operates without an output capacitor, supports input voltages up to 12 V, and maintains ±2.0% output accuracy across −40 °C to +85 °C - ideal for battery-powered portable instrumentation requiring minimal standby power.
For engineers reviewing the NCP553SQ25T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 80 mA (750 mV typ.), thermal shutdown at 160 °C, no-capacitor stability, and Pb-free SC82-AB packaging compatible with space-constrained handheld designs.
Technical Context
The NCP553SQ25T1G integrates a PMOS pass transistor, precision voltage reference, error amplifier, and protection circuitry (current limit and thermal shutdown). Its NOCAP architecture eliminates mandatory output capacitance, relying instead on internal compensation for stability with ceramic or tantalum input capacitors as low as 0.1 µF.
It features an enable pin (pin 3 per marking diagram) that places the device into low-power standby when pulled low; unused, it must be tied to Vin. Dropout voltage is specified at Vout −3.0% under load, with line regulation of 2.0–4.5 mV/V and load regulation of 0.3–0.8 mV/mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5 V ±2.0% over −40 °C to +85 °C - ensures stable rail for low-voltage microcontrollers and sensors. |
| Quiescent Current | 2.8 µA typical at Iout = 1 mA - enables multi-year battery life in always-on IoT endpoints. |
| Max Output Current | 80 mA continuous - sufficient for powering RF transceivers, ADCs, or small logic subsystems. |
| Dropout Voltage | 750 mV typical at 80 mA - allows operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0 V min) or two-cell alkaline (3.2 V min). |
| Input Voltage Range | Up to 12 V - supports wide-input industrial or automotive accessory rails with margin. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at ~160 °C - protects against PCB-level overheating during sustained high-load or poor heatsinking conditions. |
| No-Capacitor Operation | Validated stable without output capacitor - reduces BOM count and board area in ultra-compact wearables. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SC82-AB (SC70-4), Pb-free, 1.8 × 1.15 mm footprint, 0.4 mm max height - optimized for high-density portable PCB layouts.
| 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 local 1.0 µF decoupling capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| 3 | Vout | Regulated 2.5 V output; stable without external capacitor but benefits from 0.1–10 µF ceramic for transient response. |
| 4 | N/C | No internal connection - left unconnected; not usable as thermal pad or auxiliary terminal. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low IQ | 2.8 µA typical enables >10-year battery life in coin-cell–powered remote sensors. |
| NOCAPE architecture | Eliminates mandatory output capacitor - cuts BOM cost and saves 0.5–1.0 mm² PCB area per regulator. |
| ±2.0% output accuracy | Meets tight tolerance requirements for analog front-ends and reference-sensitive ADCs. |
| Industrial temperature range | −40 °C to +85 °C operation validated - suitable for outdoor consumer electronics and industrial handhelds. |
| Pb-free SC82-AB package | RoHS-compliant, reflow-compatible surface-mount package with 0.65 mm pitch - supports automated assembly. |
Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | Wireless Remote Controls |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Continuous glucose monitor using coin-cell battery and low-power BLE SoC. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary 2.5 V LDO supplying sensor bias and MCU core voltage. Use Value: 2.8 µA quiescent current extends battery life beyond 3 years; NOCAP design avoids capacitor aging drift affecting calibration stability. |
Use Scenario: Infrared remote with motion-activated wake-up and sub-100 µA sleep current. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Always-on 2.5 V rail for IR receiver and wake-up logic. Use Value: Enables reliable cold-start from depleted batteries down to 2.7 V input; 750 mV dropout ensures regulation until battery reaches 2.25 V. |
| Handheld Test Meters | Smart Home Doorbell Cameras |
Use Scenario: Battery-powered multimeter with LCD display and auto-ranging ADC. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision 2.5 V reference and analog supply for 16-bit SAR ADC. Use Value: ±2.0% output accuracy and <100 ppm/°C TC ensure measurement repeatability across operating temperature range. |

Use Value: Thermal shutdown at 160 °C prevents failure during summer ambient exposure inside plastic enclosures. |
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-2502E/TT | 2.5 V, 250 mA, 1.6 µA IQ, SOT-23-3 - higher current but no enable pin; requires output capacitor. | Not suitable where NOCAP operation or enable control is required; better for higher-load sensor nodes. | Select if >80 mA output or lower IQ is critical, and board layout permits added capacitor. |
| TPS78025DRVR | 2.5 V, 150 mA, 500 nA IQ, WSON-6 - ultra-low IQ but larger package and mandatory 1 µF output cap. | Preferred for ultra-long-life applications where 500 nA IQ outweighs capacitor and footprint penalties. | Choose only when nanoscale IQ dominates design priority and space constraints allow WSON-6. |
Compared with MCP1700T-2502E/TT and TPS78025DRVR, the NCP553SQ25T1G uniquely combines NOCAP operation, integrated enable, and SC70-4 footprint - making it optimal for size- and capacitor-constrained 2.5 V rails where 80 mA suffices.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCP553SQ25T1G?
The NCP553SQ25T1G has an absolute maximum input voltage of 12 V, as specified in the Maximum Ratings table. Operation above this level risks permanent damage. For reliable long-term use, maintain Vin ≤ 12 V with appropriate derating for thermal conditions - especially when delivering 80 mA near ambient temperature limits.
Does the NCP553SQ25T1G require an output capacitor to function?
No, the NCP553SQ25T1G is explicitly designed for NOCAP operation and remains stable without any output capacitor. However, adding a 0.1–10 µF ceramic capacitor improves load transient response and noise rejection - particularly beneficial in systems with pulsed loads like RF transceivers or digital sensors.
What is the dropout voltage of the NCP553SQ25T1G at full load?
At 80 mA output current and −40 °C to +125 °C junction temperature, the NCP553SQ25T1G exhibits a typical dropout voltage of 750 mV and a maximum of 1200 mV (measured at Vout −3.0%). This allows regulation from inputs as low as 3.25 V while delivering 2.5 V, supporting single-cell Li-ion and two-cell alkaline sources.
Is the NCP553SQ25T1G pin-compatible with other variants in the NCP553 family?
Yes - all NCP553 variants (e.g., NCP553SQ28T1G, NCP553SQ33T1G) share identical SC82-AB (SC70-4) pinout and footprint. Only the output voltage and top-side marking differ; no PCB redesign is needed when swapping between fixed-voltage versions within the same temperature grade.
What does the "SQ" suffix indicate in NCP553SQ25T1G?
The "SQ" suffix denotes the SC82-AB (SC70-4) package variant per onsemi's ordering nomenclature. It confirms the device uses the micro-miniature 4-pin surface-mount package with GND–Vin–Vout–N/C pin configuration, Pb-free finish, and tape-and-reel packaging (3,000 units per reel).
