Product details
Overview
NCP612SQ27T1 from onsemi is a fixed-output 2.7 V CMOS low-quiescent-current linear voltage regulator in SC70-5 package, featuring 40 µA typical quiescent current, 230 mV dropout at 100 mA, and ±2.0% output voltage accuracy over −40°C to +85°C - designed for battery-powered portable electronics requiring stable low-power rail generation.
For engineers reviewing the NCP612SQ27T1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include ultra-low IQ, SC70-5 footprint compatibility, enable-controlled standby mode, and ceramic-capacitor stability without ESR constraints.
Technical Context
The NCP612SQ27T1 integrates a PMOS pass transistor with internal voltage reference, error amplifier, and thermal/overcurrent protection - enabling low-dropout regulation without external compensation. Its enable input supports logic-level control (VTH(HI) = 0.95 V, VTH(LO) = 0.3 V) for system power sequencing.
Designed for handheld communication equipment, it operates from 0–6.0 V input, delivers up to 100 mA output, and maintains regulation down to 2.7 V output with only 1.0 µF input/output ceramic capacitors - eliminating need for tantalum or high-ESR components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.7 V ±2.0% at 10 mA, −40°C to +85°C - ensures stable bias for low-voltage microcontrollers and sensors. |
| Quiescent Current | 40 µA typical (IOUT = 1–100 mA) - extends battery life in always-on or sleep-mode applications. |
| Dropout Voltage | 230 mV at 100 mA and 2.7 V output - enables operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0 V min) or two-cell alkaline (3.2 V min). |
| Enable Threshold | VEN(HI) = 0.95 V, VEN(LO) = 0.3 V - compatible with 1.8 V/3.3 V GPIO without level-shifting. |
| Thermal Protection | Internal shutdown at ~160°C junction temperature - prevents damage during transient overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
| Input Voltage Range | 0 to 6.0 V - supports wide-input battery chemistries and unregulated DC sources. |
| Output Noise | 100 µVRMS (100 Hz–100 kHz, 30 mA load) - suitable for noise-sensitive analog circuitry like ADC references. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SC70-5 (Case 419A-02), surface-mount, 1.80 × 1.35 mm footprint with 0.65 mm lead pitch - optimized for space-constrained portable designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Vin | Positive input supply - must be decoupled with ≥1.0 µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| 2 | Gnd | Power ground reference - requires low-impedance PCB trace to minimize noise coupling and dropout variation. |
| 3 | Enable | Active-high digital control - pulls low to disable regulator (IQ drops to ≤0.03 µA); connect to Vin if unused. |
| 4 | N/C | No internal connection - must remain unconnected; no routing or soldering required. |
| 5 | Vout | Regulated 2.7 V output - supports ≥1.0 µF ceramic output capacitor; ESR from 0 to 5 Ω accepted. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 40 µA typical enables >1-year battery life in 10 µA average-load IoT sensors. |
| Ceramic-capacitor compatibility | No minimum ESR requirement allows use of low-cost, small-footprint X5R/X7R MLCCs without instability risk. |
| Low dropout architecture | PMOS pass element eliminates body diode conduction - prevents reverse current flow during input collapse. |
| Integrated protection | Thermal shutdown and current limit prevent latch-up or destruction under short-circuit or overtemperature conditions. |
| Pb-free packaging | RoHS-compliant SC70-5 package (NCP612SQ27T1G variant available) meets global environmental compliance requirements. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-IQ LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-2702E/MB | 250 mV dropout at 250 mA; 1.6 µA quiescent current; SOT-23-3 package (no enable pin). | Lacks enable control and has higher dropout - unsuitable for tight input-margin or sequenced-power systems. | Select only when enable functionality is unnecessary and input headroom exceeds 300 mV. |
| Torex XC6206P272MR-G | 150 mV dropout at 100 mA; 1 µA IQ; SOT-25 package with enable; ±2% accuracy. | Lower dropout and IQ, but rated only to +85°C ambient (vs. NCP612SQ27T1's full −40°C to +85°C range). | Prefer for ultra-low-power designs where ambient temperature stays below 70°C and layout allows SOT-25. |
Compared with MCP1700T-2702E/MB and XC6206P272MR-G, the NCP612SQ27T1 uniquely balances ultra-low IQ, enable control, SC70-5 miniaturization, and guaranteed performance across industrial temperature range - making it optimal for space- and battery-limited portable systems requiring robust sequencing.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the NCP612SQ27T1?
The NCP612SQ27T1 delivers up to 100 mA continuous output current while maintaining regulation and specified accuracy. At 100 mA load, its dropout voltage is 230 mV (typical) at 2.7 V output. The device includes internal current limiting that caps short-circuit output at 150 mA for 1.5–3.9 V output variants, ensuring safe operation during fault conditions. Derating applies above +85°C ambient.
Does the NCP612SQ27T1 require external compensation components?
No, the NCP612SQ27T1 is internally compensated and stable with 1.0 µF ceramic input and output capacitors - no external resistors, capacitors, or ESR tuning required. Its design accepts output capacitors with ESR ranging from near-zero to 5.0 Ω, simplifying BOM and layout for space-constrained applications such as wearables and hearing aids.
Can the NCP612SQ27T1 operate with an input voltage lower than 2.7 V?
No - the NCP612SQ27T1 requires input voltage ≥ (VOUT + dropout). With 2.7 V nominal output and 230 mV typical dropout at 100 mA, minimum functional input is ~2.93 V. Below this, regulation fails and VOUT drops linearly with VIN. Absolute maximum input is 6.0 V; operation below 0 V is prohibited per absolute ratings.
What is the function of Pin 4 (N/C) on the NCP612SQ27T1 SC70-5 package?
Pin 4 of the NCP612SQ27T1 is designated N/C (No Connection) - it has no internal bond wire or circuit connection. This pin must remain unconnected on the PCB; neither routing nor soldering is permitted. Leaving it floating poses no functional or reliability risk, and it does not affect thermal or electrical performance.
How does the enable pin (Pin 3) behave during power-up and power-down sequences?
The NCP612SQ27T1 enable pin is active-high with logic thresholds of VEN(HI) = 0.95 V (turn-on) and VEN(LO) = 0.3 V (turn-off). During power-up, VOUT rises only after VEN exceeds 0.95 V; during power-down, VOUT discharges through the load once VEN falls below 0.3 V. If unused, Pin 3 must be tied directly to Vin - not pulled up via resistor - to guarantee reliable activation.
