Product details
Overview
NCP561SN33T1 from onsemi is a fixed 3.3 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 stable low-power voltage regulation.
For engineers reviewing the NCP561SN33T1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include ultralow IQ, ceramic-capacitor compatibility (≥1.0 µF), enable-controlled standby mode, thermal shutdown protection, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The NCP561SN33T1 integrates a PMOS pass transistor with internal voltage reference, error amplifier, current limit, and thermal shutdown circuitry - enabling stable regulation without external compensation. Its enable input supports logic-level control (VTH(H) = 1.3 V, VTH(L) = 0.2 V) and must be tied to VIN if unused.
Dropout voltage is specified at 130 mV (typ) / 200 mV (max) at 150 mA and 3.3 V output, with line regulation ≤20 mV over 4.5–5.0 V input range and load regulation ≤60 mV across 10–150 mA. Output noise is 60 µVRMS (20 Hz–100 kHz).
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCP561SN33T1?
The NCP561SN33T1 has an absolute maximum input voltage of 6.0 V. Exceeding this rating may cause permanent damage. For reliable operation, the recommended input range is 3.43 V to 6.0 V - ensuring dropout margin while staying within safe operating limits. The NCP561SN33T1 datasheet specifies that operation above 6.0 V requires external pre-regulation, such as the circuit shown in Figure 17.
Does the NCP561SN33T1 require an external output capacitor, and what type is recommended?
Yes, the NCP561SN33T1 requires a minimum 1.0 µF output capacitor for stability. Ceramic capacitors (X5R/X7R dielectrics) are fully supported and preferred due to low ESR and compact size - examples include TDK C2012X5R1C105K or C1608X5R1A105K. Tantalum capacitors are also acceptable. The NCP561SN33T1 does not require minimum ESR, unlike older LDO architectures.
How does the enable pin function on the NCP561SN33T1, and what happens if it's left unconnected?
The enable pin on the NCP561SN33T1 is active-high: pulling it ≥1.3 V turns the regulator on, while pulling it ≤0.2 V disables output and reduces quiescent current to <3.0 µA. If unused, the pin must be tied directly to VIN - floating the enable pin may cause erratic startup or oscillation. The NCP561SN33T1 internal circuitry does not include a pull-up or pull-down resistor on this pin.
What is the thermal shutdown threshold and behavior of the NCP561SN33T1?
The NCP561SN33T1 incorporates an internal thermal shutdown circuit that activates at approximately 160°C junction temperature. When triggered, the device disables output and halts regulation until junction temperature falls below the hysteresis threshold (~140°C). This protects against sustained overloads or poor PCB thermal design. The NCP561SN33T1's RJA is 250°C/W, so proper copper pour under the TSOP-5 exposed pad is essential for >100 mA continuous operation.
Is the NCP561SN33T1 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the NCP561SN33T1 is RoHS-compliant and available in Pb-free packaging. The "G" suffix variant (NCP561SN33T1G) explicitly denotes Pb-free construction per JEDEC J-STD-609. Standard NCP561SN33T1 units shipped after April 2024 also meet Pb-free requirements, as confirmed in onsemi's packaging documentation (BRD8011/D) and mechanical outline 98ARB18753C.
