Product details
Overview
NCP603SN500T1G from onsemi is a fixed-output 5.0 V, 300 mA low-dropout (LDO) linear regulator in TSOP-5 package, designed for portable battery-powered systems requiring low noise (50 µVRMS), fast enable response (15 µs), and high ESD robustness (HBM 3.5 kV). It delivers stable regulation across −40 °C to +125 °C ambient with <±3% output voltage accuracy and supports SMPS post-regulation in noise-sensitive RF/audio circuits.
For engineers reviewing the NCP603SN500T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 300 mA (max 125 mV for 5.0 V output), thermal shutdown threshold (175 °C), enable input logic thresholds (0.9 V high / 0.4 V low), and compatibility with low-ESR ceramic output capacitors ≥1.0 µF.
Technical Context
The NCP603SN500T1G implements a CMOS-based LDO architecture with internal current limiting (300–650 mA), thermal shutdown (175 °C), and an integrated overshoot clamp circuit that activates at ~20 mV above nominal output to suppress load-release transients. Its pass element is optimized for low quiescent ground current (145–180 µA under load) and minimal dropout across temperature.
It operates over a 1.75–6.0 V input range and maintains regulation down to 1.75 V input for 5.0 V output (VIN ≥ VOUT + VDO). The enable function provides true shutdown with sub-1 µA disable current, and the fixed 5.0 V version uses Pin 4 as NC (no connection), distinguishing it from the adjustable ADJ variant.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0 V ±3% over −40 °C to +125 °C and 1.0–300 mA load; ensures stable core/peripheral rail in portable computing. |
| Max Output Current | 300 mA continuous; supports moderate-power microcontrollers, sensors, and audio codecs without external heatsinking. |
| Dropout Voltage | 75 mV typical / 125 mV max at 300 mA (VOUT = 5.0 V); enables operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V) with margin. |
| Noise Voltage | 50 µVRMS (10 Hz–100 kHz, no bypass cap); eliminates need for external noise-reduction capacitors in VCO/RF supply rails. |
| Enable Threshold | Logic-high threshold ≥0.9 V, logic-low ≤0.4 V; compatible with 1.8 V/3.3 V GPIO without level-shifting. |
| ESD Protection | HBM 3.5 kV / MM 200 V; meets AEC-Q100-002/-003 for robust handling in manufacturing and end-equipment assembly. |
| Operating Temp | −40 °C to +125 °C ambient; qualified for industrial and extended-temperature portable applications. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TSOP-5 (Case 483), Pb-free, 3.00 × 1.50 × 0.95 mm, 0.95 mm pitch. Thermal resistance RJA = 215 °C/W on 1 oz copper (645 mm²).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VIN | Positive power supply input | Accepts 1.75–6.0 V; must be decoupled with ≥1.0 µF ceramic capacitor near pin for line transient immunity. |
| 2 - GND | Power ground and substrate reference | Low-impedance return path; requires solid PCB ground plane to minimize noise coupling and thermal resistance. |
| 3 - ENABLE | Digital control input | Pull ≥0.9 V to enable regulator; pull ≤0.4 V to enter ultra-low-IDIS (<1 µA) shutdown mode. |
| 4 - NC | No connection (fixed-voltage version) | Not bonded internally; PCB trace may be omitted or left floating-no routing or termination required. |
| 5 - VOUT | Regulated 5.0 V output | Delivers up to 300 mA; requires ≥1.0 µF ceramic output capacitor placed adjacent to pin for stability and load transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low noise regulation | 50 µVRMS (10 Hz–100 kHz) without external bypass capacitor-reduces BOM count and board space in RF/analog sections. |
| Fast enable turn-on | 15 µs typical rise time from ENABLE high to VOUT regulation-enables precise power sequencing in multi-rail systems. |
| Thermal & current protection | Integrated thermal shutdown (175 °C, 10 °C hysteresis) and current limit (300–650 mA)-prevents damage during overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Low-quiescent ground current | 145–180 µA over full load and temperature range-extends battery life in always-on portable instrumentation. |
| Wide input voltage range | 1.75–6.0 V operation-supports direct connection to Li-ion, Li-poly, or regulated DC-DC outputs without pre-regulation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-5002E/MB | 250 mA max output, 175 mV dropout at 250 mA, 30 µVRMS noise, SOT-23-3 (no enable) | Lacks enable pin and thermal shutdown; lower current capacity limits use in higher-load peripherals. | Select only if enable control and 300 mA headroom are unnecessary and ultra-low noise is prioritized over protection features. |
| TLS850B2TE/V33 | Automotive-grade (AEC-Q100), 500 mA, 120 mV dropout, integrated watchdog and reset-TSOP-6 package | Includes safety features (reset, watchdog) and automotive qualification; larger footprint and higher cost than NCP603SN500T1G. | Choose when functional safety (ASIL-B) or automotive qualification is mandatory; not drop-in due to pin count and enable behavior differences. |
Compared with MCP1700T-5002E/MB and TLS850B2TE/V33, the NCP603SN500T1G offers balanced performance: higher current (300 mA) and integrated enable/shutdown than the MCP1700, while being simpler and lower-cost than the automotive TLS850B2 for industrial/portable designs where safety certification is not required.

FAQ
Is NCP603SN500T1G still in production?
No-NCP603SN500T1G is officially marked as discontinued by onsemi per the February 2026 revision of the NCP603/D datasheet (page 13 and revision history). However, Aetrix Electronics maintains legacy inventory with full traceability and supports design-in continuity through controlled allocation and lifecycle coordination.
What is the correct pin configuration for NCP603SN500T1G?
The NCP603SN500T1G uses the TSOP-5 package with fixed 5.0 V output: Pin 1 = VIN, Pin 2 = GND, Pin 3 = ENABLE, Pin 4 = NC (no connection), Pin 5 = VOUT. Pin 4 must remain unconnected-no pull-up, pull-down, or routing is required or recommended.
Can NCP603SN500T1G operate from a 3.3 V input?
Yes-NCP603SN500T1G supports input voltages as low as 1.75 V, but for 5.0 V output, minimum input is VOUT + VDO. At 300 mA, VDO ≤125 mV, so 3.3 V input is sufficient (3.3 V > 5.0 V + 0.125 V is false; correction: 3.3 V < 5.0 V, thus **cannot regulate 5.0 V from 3.3 V**). Valid inputs must be ≥5.125 V to sustain 5.0 V output at full load.
Does NCP603SN500T1G require an external bypass capacitor for noise reduction?
No-NCP603SN500T1G achieves 50 µVRMS output noise (10 Hz–100 kHz) without any external bypass capacitor. Unlike many low-noise LDOs, it integrates internal noise suppression, eliminating the need for a separate 10 nF–100 nF capacitor and simplifying layout.
What thermal derating applies to NCP603SN500T1G at 85 °C ambient?
At TA = 85 °C, maximum power dissipation for NCP603SN500T1G is PDMAX = (TJ(MAX) − TA) / RJA = (125 °C − 85 °C) / 215 °C/W ≈ 186 mW. With 5.0 V output and 300 mA load, worst-case dropout (125 mV) yields PD = 125 mV × 300 mA = 37.5 mW-well within safe operating area even at elevated ambient.
