Product details
Overview
NCP561SN15T1 from onsemi is a fixed 1.5 V, 150 mA CMOS low-dropout linear regulator in TSOP-5 package, featuring 3.0 µA typical quiescent current, 170 mV dropout at full load, and ±2.0% output voltage accuracy - designed for battery-powered handheld instruments requiring ultra-low standby power.
For engineers reviewing the NCP561SN15T1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 150 mA, thermal shutdown behavior, enable threshold compatibility with 1.8 V logic, and ceramic capacitor stability with ≥1.0 µF output capacitance.
Technical Context
The NCP561SN15T1 integrates a PMOS pass transistor, precision voltage reference, error amplifier, and protection circuitry (current limit and thermal shutdown) in a single die. Its ultralow IQ enables multi-week operation in coin-cell–powered devices without compromising regulation performance.
It operates across –40°C to +85°C ambient, supports input voltages up to 6.0 V, and maintains regulation down to VIN = VOUT + 130 mV (at 150 mA, 25°C), with ground current rising only to 4.0 µA under full load - confirming true low-IQ LDO architecture.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.5 V ±2.0% (ensures stable core supply for 1.5 V logic or analog sensors) |
| Max Output Current | 150 mA (supports moderate-power microcontrollers or RF front-ends) |
| Dropout Voltage | 170 mV at 150 mA (enables >1.67 V battery operation down to near end-of-life) |
| Quiescent Current | 3.0 µA typical (extends shelf life and runtime in always-on sensor nodes) |
| Enable Threshold | VTH(HI) = 1.3 V, VTH(LO) = 0.2 V (compatible with 1.8 V GPIO without level-shifting) |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at ~160°C junction (protects against PCB overheating during sustained overload) |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C (qualified for industrial portable equipment environments) |
Pinout & Package
Package: TSOP-5 (3.00 × 1.50 × 0.95 mm, 0.95 mm pitch, surface-mount).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VIN | Positive input supply | Accepts 1.67–6.0 V; must be decoupled with ≥1.0 µF ceramic capacitor close to pin |
| 2 - GND | Power ground reference | Low-impedance return path essential for noise immunity and thermal dissipation |
| 3 - Enable | Logic-controlled ON/OFF input | Pull ≥1.3 V to enable; pull ≤0.2 V to disable (ultra-low leakage in shutdown mode) |
| 4 - N/C | No internal connection | Must remain unconnected; no routing or soldering required |
| 5 - VOUT | Regulated 1.5 V output | Stable under 150 mA load; requires ≥1.0 µF output capacitor for transient stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultralow quiescent current | 3.0 µA typical enables >1-year battery life in intermittent-sensing applications |
| PMOS pass element | Eliminates reverse-current path and supports zero-load ground current |
| Ceramic-capacitor compatible | Stable with 1.0 µF–10 µF X5R/X7R ceramics - no ESR requirement simplifies BOM |
| Integrated thermal shutdown | Auto-recovery after cooldown prevents latch-up during thermal overload events |
| Industrial temperature range | Validated operation from –40°C to +85°C ensures reliability in outdoor or automotive cabin environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-IQ LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-1502E/TT | 2.0 µA IQ, 6 V max input, same 1.5 V output and TSOT-23-5 package | Lacks enable pin; requires external logic for shutdown control | Choose when board space is constrained and enable functionality is unnecessary |
| Torex XC6206P152MR-G | 1.0 µA IQ, SOT-23-5, but only 100 mA output and no thermal shutdown | Lower current capability and missing overtemperature protection limit use in high-ambient environments | Prefer for ultra-long-life button-cell applications where 100 mA suffices and thermal risk is negligible |
Compared with MCP1700T-1502E/TT and XC6206P152MR-G, the NCP561SN15T1 uniquely combines 150 mA output, integrated enable, thermal shutdown, and 3.0 µA IQ in TSOP-5 - making it optimal for industrial handhelds needing robustness and moderate current.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCP561SN15T1?
The NCP561SN15T1 has an absolute maximum input voltage of 6.0 V. Exceeding this rating may cause permanent damage. For reliable operation, VIN should remain within 1.67 V (VOUT + dropout) to 6.0 V, with recommended derating above 5.5 V in high-temperature environments to maintain thermal margin.
Does the NCP561SN15T1 require an external resistor network to set output voltage?
No, the NCP561SN15T1 is a fixed-output regulator with internally trimmed 1.5 V reference. No external resistors are needed - the output voltage is factory-set and guaranteed within ±2.0% over temperature and load, simplifying layout and reducing BOM count.
Can the NCP561SN15T1 be used with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, the NCP561SN15T1 is explicitly designed for ceramic output capacitors. It remains stable with 1.0 µF to 10 µF X5R or X7R types and imposes no minimum ESR requirement - eliminating the need for bulkier tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors.
What happens to the NCP561SN15T1 when the Enable pin is left floating?
The Enable pin must not be left floating. If unused, it must be tied directly to VIN per datasheet guidance. A floating Enable pin may result in unpredictable startup behavior or partial conduction due to internal leakage paths, risking erratic output or increased quiescent current in the NCP561SN15T1.
Is the NCP561SN15T1 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the NCP561SN15T1 is RoHS-compliant and offered in Pb-free packaging. The "G" suffix variant (NCP561SN15T1G) explicitly denotes lead-free construction, while the base part NCP561SN15T1 also meets J-STD-609 Category 1 moisture sensitivity and IPC/JEDEC standard requirements for lead-free assembly.
