Product details
Overview
NCP612SQ31T1G from onsemi is a fixed-output CMOS low-dropout linear voltage regulator in SC70-5 package, delivering 100 mA output current with 3.1 V nominal output, 40 µA typical quiescent current, and 230 mV dropout at 100 mA - designed for battery-powered portable electronics requiring ultra-low power consumption and stable low-voltage rail generation.
For engineers reviewing the NCP612SQ31T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include output accuracy (±2.0%), thermal shutdown protection, enable-controlled standby mode, compatibility with low-ESR ceramic capacitors, and operation across −40 °C to +85 °C ambient temperature.
Technical Context
The NCP612SQ31T1G integrates a PMOS pass transistor, precision voltage reference, error amplifier, and internal protection circuits (current limit and thermal shutdown). Its architecture enables stable regulation with minimal external components - only two 1.0 µF ceramic capacitors required for input and output decoupling.
It features an active-high enable input that places the device in ultra-low-power standby (<1 µA) when pulled low, and supports input voltages from 0 V to 6.0 V. Output voltage is factory-trimmed to 3.1 V with ±2.0% initial accuracy and 100 ppm/°C temperature coefficient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.1 V ±2.0% - ensures stable core/peripheral supply for 3.3 V–tolerant logic without external feedback resistors. |
| Max Output Current | 100 mA - sufficient for microcontrollers, sensors, and RF front-end biasing in compact portable systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 40 µA typical - extends battery life in always-on or low-duty-cycle applications like wearables and remote 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. |
| Operating Temp Range | −40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for commercial and industrial portable equipment environments. |
| Input Voltage Range | 0 V to 6.0 V - compatible with common battery chemistries and intermediate supply rails. |
| Enable Threshold | VTH(HI) = 0.95 V, VTH(LO) = 0.3 V - ensures reliable logic-level control from 1.8 V or 3.3 V GPIOs. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SC70-5 (Case 419A), surface-mount, micro-miniature footprint (2.0 mm × 1.25 mm × 0.95 mm), Pb-free, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Vin | Positive input supply - connects to battery or upstream regulator; requires local 1.0 µF decoupling capacitor. |
| 2 | Gnd | Power ground reference - must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise and ensure regulation stability. |
| 3 | Enable | Active-high digital control - pulls low to disable output and reduce total system current to <1 µA standby. |
| 4 | N/C | No internal connection - left unconnected; no routing or termination required. |
| 5 | Vout | Regulated 3.1 V output - supplies downstream circuitry; requires 1.0 µF ceramic capacitor for transient response and stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 40 µA typical - reduces battery drain during sleep modes without compromising startup time or regulation. |
| Low dropout architecture | 230 mV @ 100 mA - enables efficient use of aging or partially discharged batteries in space-constrained designs. |
| Stable with ceramic capacitors | No ESR requirement - eliminates need for tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors, lowering BOM cost and size. |
| Integrated thermal shutdown | Activates at ~160 °C junction temperature - prevents damage during overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
| Factory-trimmed output accuracy | ±2.0% over temperature - avoids post-assembly calibration and supports tight-tolerance analog/sensor subsystems. |
Applications
| Wearable Health Monitor | Bluetooth LE Sensor Node |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-quiescent-current LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-3102E/TT | 300 mA output, 1.6 µA quiescent current, SOT-23-3 package (no enable pin) | Lacks enable control and has higher max current - suitable where simpler control and higher load headroom are needed. | Choose if board layout lacks space for SC70-5 or if enable functionality is unnecessary. |
| TCS2117-3100CV | 150 mA output, 50 µA quiescent current, SC70-5 package, same 3.1 V output and enable pin | Higher quiescent current and slightly lower accuracy (±2.5%) - trade-off for broader input range (up to 6.5 V). | Prefer when input voltage may exceed 6.0 V or when minor IQ increase is acceptable for margin. |
Compared with MCP1700T-3102E/TT and TCS2117-3100CV, the NCP612SQ31T1G offers optimal balance of ultra-low IQ (40 µA), precise 3.1 V output (±2.0%), and integrated enable - making it ideal for compact, battery-sensitive designs where every microamp and millivolt matters.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCP612SQ31T1G?
The NCP612SQ31T1G supports an absolute maximum input voltage of 6.0 V. Exceeding this value risks permanent damage per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. For reliable operation, Vin should remain within 0 V to 6.0 V, with recommended headroom of ≥1.0 V above Vout (i.e., ≥4.1 V) to maintain regulation under load and temperature variation.
Does the NCP612SQ31T1G require external compensation components?
No, the NCP612SQ31T1G is internally compensated and stable with 1.0 µF ceramic capacitors on both input and output. The datasheet explicitly states no minimum ESR requirement, eliminating the need for external resistors or capacitors in the feedback path - simplifying layout and reducing BOM count.
Can the NCP612SQ31T1G be used in automotive applications?
The NCP612SQ31T1G (NCP prefix) is rated for −40 °C to +85 °C ambient and is not AEC-Q100 qualified. For automotive use, onsemi offers the pin-compatible NCV612SQ31T2G variant (NCV prefix), which is AEC-Q100 qualified and rated to +125 °C junction temperature - the NCP612SQ31T1G itself is intended for commercial/industrial portable equipment.
What is the thermal shutdown threshold of the NCP612SQ31T1G?
The NCP612SQ31T1G incorporates internal thermal protection that activates at approximately 160 °C junction temperature. When triggered, the device shuts down the output until junction temperature falls below the hysteresis threshold (~140 °C), then automatically resumes regulation - protecting against sustained overload or inadequate PCB thermal relief.
How does the enable pin function on the NCP612SQ31T1G?
The enable pin (Pin 3) is active-high: pulling it ≥0.95 V turns on the regulator; pulling it ≤0.3 V disables output and reduces total current draw to <1 µA. If unused, it must be tied to Vin - floating the pin may cause erratic behavior due to noise susceptibility and undefined logic state.
