Product details
Overview
NCP612SQ28T2G 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, 250 mV dropout at 100 mA, and ±2.0% output voltage accuracy - designed for battery-powered portable electronics requiring stable low-power biasing.
For engineers reviewing the NCP612SQ28T2G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include ultra-low IQ, SC70-5 footprint compatibility, enable-controlled standby, ceramic capacitor stability, and −40 °C to +85 °C industrial temperature operation.
Technical Context
The NCP612SQ28T2G integrates a PMOS pass transistor with internal voltage reference, error amplifier, and protection circuitry (current limit, thermal shutdown). It operates without minimum load requirement and remains stable with ceramic output capacitors as low as 1.0 µF.
Its enable input supports logic-level control (VTH(en) = 0.95 V high, 0.3 V low), and ground current scales linearly with load (40 µA at 1 mA, ≤90 µA at 100 mA), enabling precise power budgeting in always-on subsystems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.8 V ±2.0% over −40 °C to +85 °C and 1–100 mA load - ensures consistent MCU core or sensor bias under varying conditions. |
| Dropout Voltage | 250 mV typical at 100 mA - enables regulation from 3.05 V input, extending usable battery life in single-cell Li-ion or alkaline systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 40 µA typical (IQ) with EN = VIN; 0.03 µA in shutdown - minimizes standby drain in wake-on-event architectures. |
| Input Voltage Range | 0 to 6.0 V - supports direct connection to unregulated battery rails or intermediate DC/DC outputs. |
| Thermal Protection | Internal shutdown at ~160 °C - prevents latch-up or permanent damage during transient overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
| Output Noise | 100 µVRMS (100 Hz–100 kHz) - suitable for noise-sensitive analog sensors and RF front-end biasing. |
| Line Regulation | 1.0–3.0 mV/V - maintains tight output stability despite input ripple from switching converters or battery sag. |
Pinout & Package
Housed in the SC70-5 (SOT-353) surface-mount package (Case 419A), the NCP612SQ28T2G uses a 5-pin micro-miniature footprint with 0.65 mm pitch and exposed pad not electrically connected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Vin | Positive input supply rail - 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 into regulation loop. |
| 3 | Enable | Active-high digital control input - pulls device into <1 µA shutdown when driven <0.3 V; connect to Vin if unused. |
| 4 | N/C | No internal connection - left floating; no PCB trace or solder mask required. |
| 5 | Vout | Regulated 2.8 V output - drives load directly; requires ≥1.0 µF ceramic output capacitor for stability and transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 40 µA typical operating IQ enables >1-year battery life in IoT endpoint sleep modes. |
| Ceramic-capacitor compatible | Stable with 1.0 µF X5R/X7R ceramics - eliminates need for costly tantalum or high-ESR capacitors. |
| Enable-controlled shutdown | Reduces total system current to <1 µA - supports host-processor–managed power sequencing. |
| Pb-free SC70-5 package | RoHS-compliant 1.25 × 2.1 mm footprint - fits high-density portable PCB layouts with minimal board area. |
| ±2.0% output accuracy | Tight initial tolerance reduces need for post-production calibration in precision analog signal chains. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-2802E/TT | 300 mV dropout at 100 mA; 1.8 µA typical IQ; SOT-23-3 package (no enable). | Lacks enable pin and SC70-5 footprint - requires layout change and adds external logic for shutdown control. | Select only if ultra-low IQ dominates over footprint and controllability requirements. |
| TPS7A0528PDBVR | 175 mV dropout at 100 mA; 25 µA IQ; 5-pin SOT-23 with enable; AEC-Q100 Grade 2. | Automotive-qualified with tighter temp range (−40 °C to +125 °C); higher cost and larger footprint than SC70-5. | Prefer for automotive-grade designs where extended temperature and qualification outweigh size constraints. |
Compared with MCP1700T-2802E/TT and TPS7A0528PDBVR, the NCP612SQ28T2G offers optimal balance of SC70-5 miniaturization, enable functionality, and 250 mV dropout - making it ideal for space-constrained consumer and industrial portables where AEC-Q100 is not mandated.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCP612SQ28T2G?
The NCP612SQ28T2G has an absolute maximum input voltage of 6.0 V. Exceeding this rating may cause permanent damage. For reliable operation, maintain Vin within 0 to 6.0 V, with recommended headroom of ≥0.25 V above Vout (i.e., ≥3.05 V) to ensure regulation across temperature and load. The device's 250 mV dropout at 100 mA defines its minimum functional Vin under full load.
Does the NCP612SQ28T2G require an external pull-up resistor on the Enable pin?
No, the NCP612SQ28T2G does not require an external pull-up on the Enable pin. When unused, the Enable pin must be connected directly to Vin to guarantee normal operation. The internal circuitry does not provide pull-up; leaving Enable floating risks undefined behavior or unintended shutdown. If controlled by a microcontroller GPIO, ensure drive strength meets the input leakage specification (<100 nA).
Can the NCP612SQ28T2G operate with a 1.0 µF ceramic output capacitor?
Yes, the NCP612SQ28T2G is explicitly designed and characterized for stability with a 1.0 µF ceramic output capacitor (X5R/X7R dielectric), as confirmed in the datasheet's Applications Information section. Larger values improve load transient response and noise rejection but are not required for basic stability. Avoid high-ESR capacitors like standard aluminum electrolytics.
Is the NCP612SQ28T2G pin-compatible with other variants in the NCP612 family?
Yes, all NCP612xxT2G variants (e.g., NCP612SQ15T2G, NCP612SQ33T2G) share identical SC70-5 pinout, package dimensions, and terminal functions. Only the output voltage and marking code differ. This allows drop-in replacement across voltages in existing layouts - provided input voltage headroom and load requirements remain compatible with the new Vout.
What is the thermal shutdown threshold of the NCP612SQ28T2G?
The NCP612SQ28T2G features internal thermal protection that activates at approximately 160 °C junction temperature, disabling the output until the die cools below the hysteresis threshold (~140 °C). This safeguard prevents catastrophic failure during sustained overload or inadequate PCB copper pour. Maximum continuous power dissipation depends on ambient temperature and PCB thermal design - e.g., 330 mW at 25 °C with optimal layout.
