Product details
Overview
NCP612SQ28T1G from onsemi is a fixed-output CMOS low-dropout linear voltage regulator delivering 2.8 V at up to 100 mA, featuring 40 µA typical quiescent current and 230 mV dropout at full load. It integrates PMOS pass transistor, thermal shutdown, current limiting, and operates across −40 °C to +85 °C - designed for battery-powered portable electronics requiring stable, ultra-low-power regulation.
For engineers reviewing the NCP612SQ28T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its SC70-5 package footprint, enable-controlled standby mode, ±2.0% output accuracy, ceramic-capacitor compatibility, and thermal performance in space-constrained handheld systems.
Technical Context
The NCP612SQ28T1G uses a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling low dropout and near-zero gate-drive current, eliminating external bias requirements. Its internal error amplifier maintains regulation with 1.0 mV/V line regulation and 0.3–0.8 mV/mA load regulation over 1–100 mA output range.
Thermal protection activates at ~160 °C junction temperature, and the device achieves 100 ppm/°C output voltage temperature coefficient. Enable logic supports active-high control with 0.3 V (logic low) and 0.95 V (logic high) thresholds, allowing direct microcontroller interfacing without level-shifting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.8 V nominal, ±2.0% accuracy over −40 °C to +85 °C ensures stable core/sensor rail in consumer portable devices. |
| Max Output Current | 100 mA continuous - sufficient for low-power microcontrollers, RF transceivers, and sensor signal chains. |
| Quiescent Current | 40 µA typical - enables multi-year battery life in always-on IoT endpoints and wearable sensors. |
| Dropout Voltage | 230 mV at 100 mA - allows operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0 V min) or two-cell alkaline (3.2 V min) sources. |
| Input Voltage Range | 0–6.0 V - compatible with common battery chemistries and intermediate supply rails without external clamping. |
| Enable Threshold | 0.95 V logic high / 0.3 V logic low - interfaces directly with 1.8 V or 3.3 V GPIO without pull-up resistors or level shifters. |
| Package | SC70-5 (SOT-353) - 2.0 × 1.25 × 0.95 mm footprint ideal for ultra-compact PCB layouts. |
Pinout & Package
SC70-5 surface-mount package (Case 419A), micro-miniature 5-pin outline with 0.65 mm pitch; thermally enhanced pad design supports up to 330 mW dissipation at 25 °C ambient.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Vin | Positive input supply - accepts 0–6.0 V; requires local 1.0 µF decoupling capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| 2 | Gnd | Power ground reference - must be connected to low-impedance system ground plane to ensure noise immunity and thermal stability. |
| 3 | Enable | Active-high digital control - pulls device into 0.03 µA shutdown when ≤0.3 V; connect to Vin if unused. |
| 4 | N/C | No internal connection - electrically isolated; no routing or soldering required. |
| 5 | Vout | Regulated 2.8 V output - supports ceramic or tantalum capacitors ≥1.0 µF; ESR up to 5 Ω permitted. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 40 µA typical - reduces standby power loss by >90% vs. standard LDOs, critical for coin-cell and energy-harvesting applications. |
| Low dropout voltage | 230 mV @ 100 mA - maximizes usable battery capacity and extends runtime in single-supply systems. |
| Ceramic capacitor stability | Stable with 1.0 µF ceramic output cap (no ESR requirement) - eliminates need for larger, costlier tantalum alternatives. |
| Integrated protection | Current limit, thermal shutdown, and ESD robustness (2 kV HBM) - reduces BOM count and improves field reliability. |
| Precision output accuracy | ±2.0% over temperature and load - ensures consistent performance for ADC references, sensor biasing, and logic I/O rails. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-quiescent LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-2802E/MB | 3.0 µA IQ (lower), 600 mV dropout @ 250 mA, SOT-23-3 package (no enable) | Lacks enable pin and thermal shutdown; limited to ultra-low-IQ sleep-only roles | Choose only if enable control and protection features are unnecessary and dropout tolerance >600 mV is acceptable. |
| TLC7701QDBVRQ1 | 2.5 µA IQ, 400 mV dropout @ 100 mA, automotive AEC-Q100 Grade 1, SOT-23-5 | Higher dropout, wider temp range (−40 °C to +125 °C), but lacks SC70-5 size advantage | Prefer for automotive under-hood use where extended temperature and qualification outweigh footprint constraints. |
Compared with MCP1700T-2802E/MB and TLC7701QDBVRQ1, the NCP612SQ28T1G uniquely balances ultra-low IQ (40 µA), low dropout (230 mV), enable functionality, and SC70-5 miniaturization - making it optimal for compact, battery-sensitive consumer portables where all three traits are simultaneously required.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCP612SQ28T1G?
The NCP612SQ28T1G has an absolute maximum input voltage of 6.0 V. Exceeding this rating may cause permanent damage. For reliable operation, maintain Vin within 0–6.0 V, with recommended headroom of ≥1.0 V above Vout (i.e., ≥3.8 V) to ensure regulation across load and temperature variations.
Does the NCP612SQ28T1G require an external pull-up resistor on the Enable pin?
No - the NCP612SQ28T1G does not require an external pull-up on the Enable pin. If unused, the Enable pin must be connected directly to Vin to guarantee normal operation. Internal circuitry ensures proper biasing without external components, simplifying layout and reducing BOM count.
Can the NCP612SQ28T1G operate with a 1.0 µF ceramic capacitor on the output?
Yes - the NCP612SQ28T1G is explicitly designed for stability with 1.0 µF ceramic output capacitors, including X5R and X7R dielectrics. No minimum ESR is required, and the device remains stable across ESR values from a few milliohms up to 5.0 Ω, enabling flexible, low-cost capacitor selection.
What is the thermal shutdown threshold of the NCP612SQ28T1G?
The NCP612SQ28T1G incorporates internal thermal protection that activates at approximately 160 °C junction temperature. Once triggered, the regulator shuts down until junction temperature falls below the hysteresis threshold (~140 °C), preventing damage during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design.
Is the NCP612SQ28T1G pin-compatible with other variants in the NCP612 family?
Yes - all NCP612 variants (e.g., NCP612SQ15T1G, NCP612SQ33T1G) share identical SC70-5 pinout and electrical interface. Only the output voltage differs; no PCB redesign is needed when substituting between fixed-voltage versions within the same temperature grade and package.
