Product details
Overview
NCP612SQ37T1G from onsemi is a 3.7 V fixed-output CMOS low-quiescent-current linear voltage regulator in SC70−5 package, featuring 40 µA typical quiescent current, 230 mV dropout at 100 mA, and ±2.0% output voltage accuracy over −40°C to +85°C - designed for battery-powered portable electronics requiring stable low-power supply rail generation.
For engineers reviewing the NCP612SQ37T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include ultra-low IQ, SC70−5 footprint compatibility, enable-controlled standby mode, ceramic-capacitor stability, and thermal-limited 100 mA continuous output capability.
Technical Context
The NCP612SQ37T1G integrates a PMOS pass transistor, precision voltage reference, error amplifier, and internal protection circuits (current limit, thermal shutdown) - enabling low-noise, low-dropout regulation without external compensation. Its enable input provides logic-level control of output state with 0.3 V (low) / 0.95 V (high) thresholds.
Designed for single-supply operation from 0–6.0 V input, it delivers regulated 3.7 V output with load regulation of 0.3–0.8 mV/mA and line regulation of ≤3.0 mV/V across its operating range. Output noise is 100 µVRMS (100 Hz–100 kHz) with 1 µF ceramic output capacitor.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.7 V ±2.0% (10 mA load, 25°C); maintains regulation down to 3.589 V at 100 mA and −40°C to +85°C |
| Quiescent Current | 40 µA typical (IOUT = 1–100 mA, VEN = VIN); enables multi-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes |
| Dropout Voltage | 230 mV typical at 100 mA and 3.7 V output; allows operation from 3.93 V input minimum under full load |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C (NCP612 grade); supports industrial and consumer ambient environments without derating |
| Input Voltage Range | 0 V to 6.0 V; compatible with Li-ion, Li-poly, and dual-cell alkaline/battery stacks |
| Output Noise | 100 µVRMS (100 Hz–100 kHz, 30 mA load, 1 µF COUT); suitable for RF and precision analog circuitry |
| Enable Threshold | VTH(HI) = 0.95 V min, VTH(LO) = 0.3 V max; interfaces directly with 1.8 V/3.3 V GPIO without level-shifting |
Pinout & Package
Package: SC70−5 (Case 419A−02), micro-miniature surface-mount, 1.80 × 1.15 × 0.80 mm body, 0.65 mm lead pitch, Pb-free (RoHS-compliant).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Vin | Positive power supply input; accepts 0–6.0 V; requires local 1 µF decoupling capacitor |
| 2 | Gnd | Power ground reference; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise and dropout variation |
| 3 | Enable | Active-high digital control input; pulls low to disable output (IQ drops to 0.03 µA); connect to Vin if unused |
| 4 | N/C | No internal connection; electrically isolated; no PCB trace or pad required |
| 5 | Vout | Regulated 3.7 V output; stable with 1 µF ceramic capacitor; supports up to 100 mA continuous load |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| Ceramic-capacitor compatible | Stable with 1 µF X5R/X7R ceramics (ESR 1 mΩ–5 Ω); eliminates need for costly tantalum or electrolytic caps |
| Integrated thermal protection | Auto-shutdown at ~160°C junction temperature prevents damage during overload or poor PCB thermal design |
| Precision output accuracy | ±2.0% over temperature and load ensures reliable operation of 3.3 V–3.8 V logic and analog ICs |
| Low-noise regulation | 100 µVRMS noise enables clean power for ADCs, RF transceivers, and audio codecs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-IQ LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-3702E/MB | 3.7 V output, 1.6 µA IQ, SOT-23-5 package, 600 mV dropout at 250 mA | Lower IQ but higher dropout and larger footprint; not SC70−5 compatible | Select when ultra-low standby current outweighs size and dropout constraints |
| Torex XC6206P372MR-G | 3.7 V output, 1 µA IQ, SOT-25 package, 160 mV dropout at 100 mA, no enable pin | No enable function; smaller SOT-25 but lacks active control for dynamic power gating | Select for simplest always-on 3.7 V rail where enable functionality is unnecessary |
Compared with MCP1700T-3702E/MB and XC6206P372MR-G, the NCP612SQ37T1G uniquely balances ultra-low 40 µA IQ, SC70−5 miniaturization, integrated enable, and 230 mV dropout - making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-gated portable systems requiring precise 3.7 V regulation.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the NCP612SQ37T1G?
The NCP612SQ37T1G delivers up to 100 mA continuous output current while maintaining regulation and thermal safety under typical PCB layout conditions. At 100 mA load and 25°C ambient, its dropout remains 230 mV, and junction temperature stays within safe limits when proper copper pour is used per the datasheet thermal guidelines.
Does the NCP612SQ37T1G require an external capacitor on the Enable pin?
No, the NCP612SQ37T1G does not require an external capacitor on the Enable pin. The Enable input is CMOS-compatible with TTL/CMOS logic levels; it draws negligible current and functions reliably with direct connection to a microcontroller GPIO or pull-up to Vin. Adding capacitance may slow turn-on/turn-off response unnecessarily.
Can the NCP612SQ37T1G operate with a 1 µF ceramic output capacitor?
Yes, the NCP612SQ37T1G is explicitly designed and tested for stability with a 1 µF ceramic output capacitor (X5R/X7R dielectric). This eliminates the need for larger or higher-ESR capacitors, reducing board area and cost while improving transient response and noise rejection compared to tantalum alternatives.
What is the thermal shutdown threshold of the NCP612SQ37T1G?
The NCP612SQ37T1G incorporates 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 permanent damage during sustained overload, poor heatsinking, or high ambient temperature operation.
Is the NCP612SQ37T1G pin-compatible with other variants in the NCP612 family?
Yes, all NCP612 variants including NCP612SQ37T1G share identical SC70−5 pinout (Vin, Gnd, Enable, N/C, Vout) and electrical interface - enabling drop-in replacement across output voltages (1.5 V to 5.0 V) without PCB redesign, provided thermal and layout constraints remain satisfied.
