Product details
Overview
NCP612SQ30T1 from onsemi is a 3.0 V fixed-output CMOS low-quiescent-current LDO voltage regulator in SC70−5 package, delivering up to 100 mA output current with 40 µA typical quiescent current and 230 mV dropout at full load - designed for battery-powered portable electronics requiring stable, ultra-low-power regulation.
For engineers reviewing the NCP612SQ30T1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 2.0% output voltage accuracy over −40°C to +85°C, enable-controlled standby mode, compatibility with low-ESR ceramic capacitors, and thermal shutdown protection.
Technical Context
The NCP612SQ30T1 integrates a PMOS pass transistor, precision voltage reference, error amplifier, and protection circuitry (current limit and thermal shutdown) in a single die. It operates as a fixed-output linear regulator with no external feedback resistors required.
Its enable input provides logic-level control (VTH(HI) = 0.95 V, VTH(LO) = 0.3 V), allowing system-level power sequencing. The device is optimized for operation with 1.0 µF input and output ceramic capacitors and exhibits 100 µVRMS output noise (100 Hz–100 kHz).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.0 V ±2.0% (ensures stable MCU core or sensor rail within tight tolerance across temperature) |
| Max Output Current | 100 mA (supports low-power microcontrollers, RF transceivers, and analog sensors) |
| Quiescent Current | 40 µA typical (enables multi-year battery life in always-on IoT endpoints) |
| Dropout Voltage | 230 mV at 100 mA (allows regulation from 3.23 V input down to 3.0 V output) |
| Operating Temp Range | −40°C to +85°C (suitable for consumer and industrial ambient environments) |
| Input Voltage Range | 0 V to 6.0 V (compatible with single-cell Li-ion, 2-cell alkaline, or regulated 5 V supplies) |
| Enable Threshold | Logic-high ≥0.95 V; logic-low ≤0.3 V (directly interfaceable with 1.8 V/3.3 V GPIO without level shift) |
Pinout & Package
Package: SC70−5 (SC−88A/SOT−353), case 419A−02, 1.9 mm × 1.3 mm footprint, 0.65 mm lead pitch, surface-mount.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Vin | Positive input supply connection; must be decoupled with ≥1.0 µF ceramic capacitor near pin |
| 2 | Gnd | Power ground reference; requires low-impedance PCB plane connection for stability |
| 3 | Enable | Active-high digital control input; pulls low to disable regulator and reduce IQ to <30 nA |
| 4 | N/C | No internal connection; must remain unconnected or floating (not tied to Gnd/Vin) |
| 5 | Vout | Regulated 3.0 V output; requires ≥1.0 µF ceramic capacitor with ESR 1–5 Ω for transient response |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-3002E/MB | 250 mV dropout at 250 mA; 1.8 µA quiescent current; SOT-23-5 package | Lower IQ but higher dropout and larger footprint; no enable pin | Prefer for ultra-low-power sleep modes where enable control is unnecessary |
| TPS70630DBVR | 220 mV dropout at 150 mA; 1 µA quiescent current; 3.0 V fixed; SOT-23-5 | Higher max current and lower IQ, but requires minimum 1 µF output capacitor with ≥15 mΩ ESR | Prefer when higher load current or tighter IQ is critical and ceramic capacitor ESR can be controlled |
Compared with MCP1700T-3002E/MB and TPS70630DBVR, the NCP612SQ30T1 offers integrated enable functionality and guaranteed stability with zero-ESR ceramics - making it optimal for space-constrained, enable-driven portable systems where moderate IQ and proven ceramic compatibility outweigh absolute lowest quiescent current.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCP612SQ30T1?
The NCP612SQ30T1 has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 6.0 V. Operation above this voltage risks permanent damage. For reliable long-term use, the recommended maximum continuous input is 5.5 V when Vin ≥ Vout + 1.0 V, per datasheet operating conditions. The NCP612SQ30T1 must never be exposed to input transients exceeding 6.0 V, even momentarily.
Does the NCP612SQ30T1 require an external pull-up resistor on the Enable pin?
No, the NCP612SQ30T1 does not require an external pull-up resistor on the Enable pin. When unused, the Enable pin must be directly connected to Vin to ensure the device remains enabled. The internal design does not include a weak pull-up; leaving Enable floating may cause erratic behavior or unintended shutdown. The NCP612SQ30T1 Enable threshold is specified at 0.95 V (turn-on) and 0.3 V (turn-off), compatible with standard logic outputs.
Can the NCP612SQ30T1 be used with a 10 µF ceramic output capacitor?
Yes, the NCP612SQ30T1 is fully stable with ceramic output capacitors ranging from 1.0 µF to 10 µF and ESR values from near-zero up to 5.0 Ω. A 10 µF X5R ceramic capacitor improves load transient response and output noise suppression compared to the minimum 1.0 µF value. The NCP612SQ30T1 does not require any minimum ESR, unlike many older LDOs - this is confirmed in the Applications Information section of the datasheet.
What is the thermal shutdown trigger temperature for the NCP612SQ30T1?
The NCP612SQ30T1 incorporates internal thermal protection that activates at approximately 160°C junction temperature, shutting down the output to prevent damage. Recovery is automatic once the junction temperature falls below the hysteresis threshold (~140°C). This protection is independent of ambient temperature and depends solely on power dissipation and PCB thermal design. The NCP612SQ30T1 maximum operating junction temperature is +150°C, and thermal shutdown serves as a safety guard beyond that limit.
Is the NCP612SQ30T1 RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, the NCP612SQ30T1 is RoHS-compliant and halogen-free. The "T1" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging, and the standard version meets JEDEC JS709B and JESD204B material requirements. Pb-free variants (marked with "G" suffix, e.g., NCP612SQ30T1G) are also available and fully compliant with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and China RoHS. Full compliance documentation is available via onsemi's official product page and material declarations.
