Product details
Overview
NCP605MN50T2G from onsemi is a fixed-output 5.0 V, 500 mA low-dropout (LDO) linear regulator in DFN6 3×3.3 mm package, featuring 1.5% output voltage tolerance, 170 mV typical dropout at 500 mA, and 50 µVRMS output noise without bypass capacitor - designed for space-constrained portable battery-powered systems including notebook computers and hard disk drivers.
For engineers reviewing the NCP605MN50T2G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include its enable-free architecture, low ground current (145–180 µA), high PSRR (62 dB @ 120 Hz), thermal shutdown (175°C), and compatibility with low-ESR ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The NCP605MN50T2G implements a CMOS-based LDO architecture with internal current limiting (675 mA), thermal shutdown, and an adjustable reference-based error amplifier. It operates across 1.5 V to 6.0 V input range and maintains regulation down to 170 mV dropout at full 500 mA load for the 5.0 V output version.
No enable pin is present - unlike the NCP606 series - making it suitable for always-on power rails where simplicity and minimal external control are prioritized. Its SENSE/ADJ pin is internally connected to VOUT for fixed-voltage operation and requires no external resistors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0 V ±2% over −40°C to +85°C; ensures stable core/peripheral rail for microcontrollers and storage interfaces. |
| Max Output Current | 500 mA continuous; supports moderate-power logic, sensors, and interface ICs in portable designs. |
| Dropout Voltage | 170 mV typical @ 500 mA; enables operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0 V min) or 5 V bus with margin. |
| Ground Current | 145–180 µA independent of load; minimizes quiescent power loss in battery-critical applications. |
| PSRR | 62 dB @ 120 Hz; suppresses ripple from switching DC/DC stages upstream of the LDO. |
| Output Noise | 50 µVRMS (10 Hz–100 kHz); eliminates need for external noise-reduction capacitor in sensitive analog/audio paths. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 175°C activation with 10°C hysteresis; protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DFN6 3.0×3.3 mm, 0.95 mm pitch, exposed thermal pad (EPAD) connected to GND - optimized for compact layout and thermal performance on 1 oz copper PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 6 Vin | Positive power supply input | Must be externally shorted; dual-input configuration reduces trace resistance and improves current handling. |
| 2 GND | Power supply ground | Primary ground return path; connects to EPAD for enhanced thermal dissipation. |
| 3 NC | No connection | Unbonded pin; must remain floating - not usable as enable or any control signal. |
| 4 Vout | Regulated output voltage | Delivers stable 5.0 V; requires ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin per layout guidelines. |
| 5 SENSE/ADJ | Output voltage sense input | Internally tied to Vout for fixed 5.0 V operation; no external components needed. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low IGND independent of load | 145–180 µA ensures predictable battery life across sleep-to-active transitions. |
| High PSRR at low frequency | 62 dB @ 120 Hz enables clean 5.0 V rail even when powered from noisy buck converters. |
| Enhanced ESD robustness | 4 kV HBM / 200 V MM rating supports reliable assembly and field operation in handheld devices. |
| Stable with ceramic capacitors | No minimum ESR requirement simplifies BOM and reduces footprint vs. tantalum-based LDOs. |
| Thermal and short-circuit protection | Integrated shutdown prevents damage during fault conditions without external circuitry. |
Applications
| Hard Disk Drive Power Management | Notebook Computer Core Logic Rail |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LP8345M50X | Pin-compatible but requires minimum 10 mA load; higher 250 µA ground current; no thermal shutdown. | Lacks integrated thermal protection and load-independent IGND - unsuitable for unattended battery systems. | Select NCP605MN50T2G when thermal safety, ultra-low quiescent current, or zero-load stability are required. |
| NCP606MN50T2G | Same electrical specs except adds active-high EN pin; 0.1–1 µA disable current; 12–30 µs enable time. | Enables power sequencing and deep-sleep modes; introduces additional control signal and timing constraints. | Choose NCP605MN50T2G for simpler, always-on 5.0 V rails; choose NCP606MN50T2G only if dynamic enable control is mandatory. |
Compared with LP8345M50X, NCP605MN50T2G delivers superior thermal safety and lower quiescent consumption; compared with NCP606MN50T2G, it eliminates enable signal routing and timing validation while retaining identical regulation performance.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for the NCP605MN50T2G?
The absolute maximum input voltage for the NCP605MN50T2G is 6.5 V. However, the recommended operating input voltage range is 1.5 V to 6.0 V. Operation below 1.5 V or above 6.0 V risks violating safe operating area limits, especially under load, and may trigger thermal shutdown or cause permanent damage.
Does the NCP605MN50T2G require an external enable signal?
No, the NCP605MN50T2G does not require or support an external enable signal. Pin 3 is marked NC (no connection) and must remain unconnected. This distinguishes it from the NCP606 series, which uses Pin 3 as an active-high enable input. The NCP605MN50T2G powers up automatically whenever valid input voltage is applied.
Can the NCP605MN50T2G be used with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, the NCP605MN50T2G is fully stable with ceramic output capacitors and imposes no minimum ESR requirement. A minimum 1.0 µF X7R ceramic capacitor (e.g., Murata GRM219R71E105K) placed close to Pins 4 (Vout) and 2 (GND) is recommended to ensure optimal transient response and noise suppression.
What is the dropout voltage of the NCP605MN50T2G at 500 mA load?
The typical dropout voltage of the NCP605MN50T2G at 500 mA load and 5.0 V output is 170 mV, with a maximum of 200 mV over temperature and process variation. This means the device maintains regulation as long as input voltage remains ≥5.17 V under worst-case conditions.
Is the NCP605MN50T2G RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the NCP605MN50T2G is a Pb−Free device compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The "G" suffix in the part number explicitly denotes lead-free packaging, and the DFN6 package uses matte tin terminations per onsemi's standard environmental specifications.
