Product details
Overview
NCP612SQ30T1G from onsemi is a fixed-output CMOS low-dropout linear voltage regulator delivering 3.0 V at up to 100 mA, featuring ultra-low 40 µA quiescent current and 230 mV dropout at full load - designed for battery-powered portable electronics requiring stable, low-power supply regulation.
For engineers reviewing the NCP612SQ30T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include output accuracy (±2.0%), SC70-5 thermal performance (RJA = 300 °C/W), enable-controlled standby mode, and compatibility with low-ESR ceramic capacitors in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The NCP612SQ30T1G integrates a PMOS pass transistor, precision voltage reference, error amplifier, and thermal/current-limit protection circuits - enabling stable 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 operation across −40 °C to +85 °C ambient, it maintains ±2.0% output voltage accuracy over temperature and load (1–100 mA), with line regulation of 1.0–3.0 mV/V and load regulation of 0.3–0.8 mV/mA - optimized for single-cell Li-ion and multi-cell alkaline/battery systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.0 V ±2.0% - ensures stable MCU core or sensor rail within tight tolerance across temperature and load. |
| Max Output Current | 100 mA - sufficient for low-power microcontrollers, RF transceivers, and analog sensors in portable devices. |
| Quiescent Current | 40 µA typical - minimizes battery drain during sleep/standby, extending runtime in always-on applications. |
| Dropout Voltage | 230 mV at 100 mA - enables regulation down to ~3.23 V input, supporting single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V) operation. |
| Input Voltage Range | 0–6.0 V - compatible with common battery chemistries and intermediate supply rails without external clamping. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at ~160 °C - protects device and PCB during overload or poor heatsinking conditions. |
| Package | SC70-5 (SOT-353) - 2.0 × 2.1 mm footprint ideal for compact handheld and wearable PCB layouts. |
Pinout & Package
The NCP612SQ30T1G is housed in the SC70-5 (SOT-353) surface-mount package - a 5-pin, lead-free micro-miniature outline with 0.65 mm pitch and exposed pad not present.
| 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 connect to low-impedance PCB ground plane to ensure noise immunity and thermal stability. |
| 3 | Enable | Logic-controlled ON/OFF input - pulled high to Vin for operation; pulled low (<0.3 V) disables output and reduces IQ to <0.03 µA. |
| 4 | N/C | No internal connection - left unconnected; no routing or termination required on PCB. |
| 5 | Vout | Regulated 3.0 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 - enables >1-year battery life in coin-cell–powered IoT sensors with periodic wake-up cycles. |
| Low dropout architecture | 230 mV @ 100 mA - sustains regulation through deep battery discharge, avoiding premature system shutdown. |
| High output accuracy | ±2.0% over −40 °C to +85 °C - eliminates need for post-regulation trimming in precision analog or ADC reference applications. |
| Enable-controlled shutdown | Logic-compatible input with 0.95 V turn-on threshold - simplifies integration with GPIOs of low-voltage MCUs without level-shifting. |
| Ceramic capacitor stability | Stable with 1.0 µF X5R/X7R ceramics (ESR 1–5 Ω) - reduces BOM cost and board area vs. tantalum alternatives. |

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 | 300 mA rated, 1.6 µA IQ, SOT-23-5 package - higher current but larger footprint and lower dropout (600 mV @ 250 mA). | Supports higher-current peripherals (e.g., LCD backlight); less suitable for ultra-low-IQ coin-cell use cases. | Select when >100 mA load or smaller dropout at higher currents is required; verify PCB layout change for SOT-23-5. |
| AP2210K-3.0TRG1 | 150 mA rated, 50 µA IQ, SOT-23-5 - similar quiescent current but wider input range (2.0–6.5 V) and no enable pin. | Lacks enable control; requires external logic for power gating - unsuitable for systems needing precise wake/sleep sequencing. | Choose only if enable functionality is unnecessary and SOT-23-5 mounting is preferred over SC70-5 space constraints. |
Compared with MCP1700T-3002E/MB and AP2210K-3.0TRG1, the NCP612SQ30T1G offers the smallest footprint (SC70-5), lowest guaranteed IQ in its class, and integrated enable - making it optimal for miniaturized, battery-lifetime-critical applications where 100 mA suffices.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCP612SQ30T1G?
The NCP612SQ30T1G has an absolute maximum input voltage of 6.0 V. Operation above this level risks permanent damage. For reliable long-term use, keep Vin ≤ 6.0 V - especially important in battery-fed systems where charging may raise cell voltage above nominal (e.g., Li-ion up to 4.2 V).
Does the NCP612SQ30T1G require an external capacitor on the Enable pin?
No, the NCP612SQ30T1G does not require an external capacitor on the Enable pin. The Enable input is CMOS-compatible and functions as a digital control signal; it should be driven directly by a GPIO or logic gate. If unused, Enable must be tied to Vin - floating is not permitted.
Can the NCP612SQ30T1G operate with a 1.0 µF ceramic output capacitor?
Yes, the NCP612SQ30T1G is explicitly designed to be stable with a 1.0 µF ceramic capacitor (X5R/X7R dielectric, ESR 1–5 Ω) on the Vout pin. This eliminates the need for larger or more expensive tantalum capacitors and simplifies layout in space-constrained designs.
What is the thermal shutdown threshold of the NCP612SQ30T1G?
The NCP612SQ30T1G activates internal thermal shutdown at approximately 160 °C junction temperature. Once triggered, the device disables output and remains off until junction temperature falls below the hysteresis threshold (~140 °C), protecting against sustained overloads or inadequate PCB copper area.
Is the NCP612SQ30T1G pin-compatible with other SC70-5 LDOs like the MCP1700?
No, the NCP612SQ30T1G is not pin-compatible with the MCP1700 series. While both use SC70-5/SOT-353 packages, their pinouts differ: NCP612SQ30T1G uses Pin 1=Vin, Pin 2=Gnd, Pin 3=Enable, Pin 4=N/C, Pin 5=Vout; MCP1700 uses Pin 1=Gnd, Pin 2=Vout, Pin 3=Vin, Pin 4=N/C, Pin 5=EN - requiring PCB redesign for substitution.
