Product details
Overview
NCP600SN250T1G from onsemi is a fixed-output 2.5 V, 150 mA low-dropout (LDO) linear regulator in TSOP-5 package, featuring 150 mV dropout at full load, ±2% output voltage tolerance over −40 °C to +125 °C, and 50 µVrms output noise - designed for noise-sensitive portable battery-powered systems including RF front-ends and camera modules.
For engineers reviewing the NCP600SN250T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include guaranteed 2.5 V output accuracy under load/temperature variation, fast 15 µs enable turn-on time, thermal shutdown at 175 °C, compatibility with low-ESR ceramic capacitors, and Pb-free TSOP-5 packaging suitable for space-constrained handheld instrumentation.
Technical Context
The NCP600SN250T1G implements a PNP pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout and stable operation with 1.0 µF ceramic input/output capacitors. Its internal bandgap reference and error amplifier maintain regulation across input voltages from 1.75 V to 6.0 V and output currents up to 150 mA.
It integrates enable-controlled sleep mode (IDIS ≤ 1.0 µA), thermal shutdown with 10 °C hysteresis, current limiting (~550 mA typical short-circuit current), and an overshoot clamp circuit active during load transients - all without requiring external compensation components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5 V ±2% over −40 °C to +125 °C and 1–150 mA load - ensures stable core supply for 2.5 V logic and analog circuits without trimming. |
| Dropout Voltage | 100 mV typical / 150 mV max at 150 mA - enables operation from 2.6 V input, critical for single-cell Li-ion or dual-cell alkaline systems. |
| Ground Current | 140 µA typical at 150 mA load - minimizes quiescent power loss in always-on subsystems like sensor wake-up paths. |
| PSRR | 62 dB @ 120 Hz, 55 dB @ 1 kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters in mixed-signal applications. |
| Output Noise | 50 µVrms (10 Hz–100 kHz) - meets low-noise requirements for VCO biasing, ADC reference supplies, and RF LNA stages. |
| Enable Threshold | VTH(HI) = 0.9 V min, VTH(LO) = 0.4 V max - compatible with 1.8 V/3.3 V GPIOs and supports direct tie-to-VIN for always-on use. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at 175 °C with 10 °C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design without latch-up. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TSOP-5 (Case 483), 3.00 × 1.50 × 0.95 mm, Pb-free, surface-mount. Exposed pad not present - thermal path relies on copper traces connected to GND pins.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VIN | Positive power supply input | Accepts 1.75–6.0 V; requires local 1.0 µF ceramic decoupling; trace width impacts noise immunity and thermal rise. |
| 2 - GND | Power ground and substrate reference | Primary return path for input/output current; must connect to low-impedance system ground plane to ensure stability and PSRR. |
| 3 - ENABLE | Logic-controlled enable input | Pull ≥0.9 V to activate regulator; pull ≤0.4 V to enter <1.0 µA disable state; tie to VIN if unused. |
| 4 - VOUT | Regulated 2.5 V output | Delivers up to 150 mA; requires 1.0 µF ceramic output capacitor placed adjacent to pin for transient response and stability. |
| 5 - NC | No connection (fixed-voltage version) | Not bonded internally; no PCB trace or component should connect to this pin - avoids unintended parasitic coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 100 mV typical at 150 mA - extends battery runtime in 2.5 V systems powered by aging or low-VOC cells. |
| Fast enable response | 15 µs typical turn-on time - supports rapid power sequencing in multi-rail embedded systems and camera auto-focus timing. |
| Low-noise regulation | 50 µVrms without bypass capacitor - eliminates need for external noise-reduction networks in RF/analog signal chains. |
| Thermal protection | 175 °C shutdown with 10 °C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or inadequate heatsinking. |
| Ceramic capacitor compatibility | Stable with 1.0 µF ceramic output cap (no ESR requirement) - reduces BOM cost and board area vs. tantalum alternatives. |
Applications
| SMPS Post-Regulation | Noise-Sensitive RF Circuits |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-2502E/TT | 250 mA output, 175 mV dropout at 250 mA, 1.6 µA quiescent current - higher IQ but lower dropout at lighter loads. | Better suited for ultra-low-power always-on sensors; less optimal for 150 mA continuous loads due to thermal derating in SOT-23. | Select when <2 µA sleep current is mandatory and peak load ≤100 mA; verify thermal performance in target PCB layout. |
| Torex XC6206P252MR-G | 150 mA output, 160 mV dropout at 150 mA, 1.0 µA IQ, SOT-25 package - smaller footprint but lower PSRR (50 dB @ 1 kHz). | Preferred for size-constrained wearables; insufficient PSRR for post-regulating high-frequency SMPS in RF modules. | Choose for minimal board area where moderate noise rejection suffices; avoid in RF bias or high-precision analog applications. |
Compared with MCP1700T-2502E/TT and XC6206P252MR-G, the NCP600SN250T1G delivers superior PSRR and thermal robustness in TSOP-5, making it optimal for noise-critical 2.5 V rails where 150 mA load and fast enable timing are required - without compromising on industrial temperature range or ceramic capacitor simplicity.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for the NCP600SN250T1G?
The NCP600SN250T1G supports an absolute maximum input voltage of 6.5 V, with recommended operating range from 1.75 V to 6.0 V. Operation above 6.5 V risks permanent damage. For reliable 2.5 V output, minimum input must be ≥2.6 V (2.5 V + 100 mV typical dropout) - verified across −40 °C to +125 °C ambient.
Does the NCP600SN250T1G require an external bypass capacitor for noise reduction?
No, the NCP600SN250T1G does not require an external noise-reduction capacitor. Its internal design achieves 50 µVrms output noise (10 Hz–100 kHz) without one - unlike many competing LDOs that mandate a 10 nF–100 nF capacitor on the ADJ pin. This simplifies layout and eliminates startup delay penalties associated with external caps.
What is the function of Pin 5 (NC) on the NCP600SN250T1G TSOP-5 package?
Pin 5 on the NCP600SN250T1G is a true no-connect (NC) terminal - not bonded internally and electrically isolated. It must remain unconnected on the PCB; routing traces or placing components to this pin may introduce parasitic coupling or mechanical stress. This distinguishes it from the adjustable-version NCP600SNADJT1G, where Pin 5 is the ADJ input.
Can the NCP600SN250T1G be used with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, the NCP600SN250T1G is fully stable with 1.0 µF ceramic output capacitors and imposes no minimum ESR requirement. This eliminates reliance on larger, more expensive tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors - reducing cost, size, and failure risk while improving transient response in portable designs.
What thermal derating applies to the NCP600SN250T1G in its TSOP-5 package?
In TSOP-5 (RJA = 215 °C/W), the NCP600SN250T1G dissipates up to ~320 mW at 25 °C ambient before reaching 125 °C junction limit. At 85 °C ambient, maximum safe dissipation drops to ~175 mW - corresponding to ~70 mA at 2.5 V output with 3.3 V input. Layout with wider GND traces improves thermal performance significantly.
