Product details
Overview
NCP663SQ25T1G from onsemi is a fixed-output, 2.5 V, 100 mA CMOS low-dropout linear regulator in SC-82AB package, featuring 2.5 µA typical quiescent current, ±2.0% output voltage accuracy, and dropout voltage of 300 mV at 100 mA - designed for battery-powered portable instrumentation requiring ultra-low standby power.
For engineers reviewing the NCP663SQ25T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 2.5 V fixed output, SC-82AB footprint compatibility, absence of enable functionality (N/C pin), thermal shutdown protection, and support for 0.1 µF ceramic output capacitors in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The NCP663SQ25T1G integrates a PMOS pass transistor, precision voltage reference, error amplifier, and thermal/overcurrent protection circuits - enabling stable regulation without external compensation. It operates across −40 °C to +85 °C ambient temperature and supports input voltages up to 6.0 V.
Unlike the NCP662 variant, the NCP663 series omits the enable pin (Pin 4 = N/C) and relies solely on input voltage control for operation. Its ultra-low 2.5 µA quiescent current is maintained across full temperature range, making it suitable for always-on subsystems in portable electronics.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5 V ±2.0% - ensures stable supply for 2.5 V logic, sensors, or RF front-end biasing without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 100 mA - sufficient for microcontrollers, ADCs, or small displays in handheld devices. |
| Dropout Voltage | 300 mV at 100 mA - allows operation down to 2.8 V input while maintaining 2.5 V output, extending battery runtime. |
| Quiescent Current | 2.5 µA typical - minimizes battery drain during sleep mode in battery-powered instruments. |
| Input Voltage Range | Up to 6.0 V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion (4.2 V max), two-cell alkaline (3.2 V), or regulated 5 V rails. |
| Output Capacitor Min. | 0.1 µF ceramic - enables use of tiny, low-ESR MLCCs, reducing board area and cost vs. tantalum alternatives. |
| Thermal Protection | Internal shutdown at ~160 °C - prevents damage during transient overloads or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
The NCP663SQ25T1G is housed in the SC-82AB (Case 419C) surface-mount package - a 4-pin, 2.0 × 1.25 mm micro-miniature outline with 0.65 mm pitch, optimized for high-density portable PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Power ground reference; must be connected to low-impedance system ground plane to ensure stability and noise immunity. |
| 2 | Vin | Input supply pin; accepts 2.8–6.0 V; requires local 1.0 µF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| 3 | Vout | Regulated 2.5 V output; drives load directly; requires 0.1 µF minimum ceramic capacitor at pin for stability. |
| 4 | N/C | No internal connection - must remain unconnected; not usable as enable or any other function. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 2.5 µA typical - extends shelf life and operational time in battery-backed memory or real-time clock circuits. |
| Fixed 2.5 V output | ±2.0% accuracy over −40 °C to +85 °C - eliminates need for external resistor network and reduces BOM count. |
| SC-82AB package | 2.0 × 1.25 mm footprint - saves >60% board area vs. SOT-23, critical for wearables and compact medical sensors. |
| Stable with 0.1 µF ceramic cap | No ESR requirement - simplifies layout, avoids tantalum reliability concerns, and lowers total solution cost. |
| Thermal & current protection | Internally limits power dissipation and shuts down above ~160 °C - removes need for external thermal monitoring circuitry. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-2502E/TT | 250 mA output, 1.6 µA IQ, SOT-23-3 package (no GND pin exposed); no thermal shutdown. | Higher current headroom but lacks integrated thermal protection and has different pinout. | Select when >100 mA load or smaller 3-pin footprint is required; verify thermal margin manually. |
| TPS70625DBVR | 200 mA output, 1.7 µA IQ, enable pin included, SOT-23-5 package; AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualified. | Includes enable control and automotive qualification; larger package and higher cost. | Select when system-level ON/OFF sequencing or automotive qualification is mandatory. |
Compared with MCP1700T-2502E/TT and TPS70625DBVR, the NCP663SQ25T1G offers optimal balance of ultra-low IQ, integrated thermal safety, and minimal 4-pin SC-82AB footprint - ideal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained portable instrumentation where enable control is unnecessary.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCP663SQ25T1G?
The NCP663SQ25T1G has an absolute maximum input voltage of 6.0 V. Exceeding this rating may cause permanent damage. For reliable operation, Vin should be kept within 2.8 V to 6.0 V to maintain regulation at 2.5 V output - especially important when powering from single-cell Li-ion or dual alkaline sources. The NCP663SQ25T1G datasheet specifies this limit under Maximum Ratings on page 2.
Does the NCP663SQ25T1G include an enable pin?
No, the NCP663SQ25T1G does not include an enable pin. Pin 4 is marked N/C (No internal connection) per the datasheet pin function table and top-view diagram on page 1. This distinguishes it from the NCP662 variant, which uses Pin 4 as Enable. The NCP663SQ25T1G is always active when valid input voltage is applied to Pin 2 (Vin).
What output capacitor value is required for stable operation of the NCP663SQ25T1G?
The NCP663SQ25T1G requires a minimum output capacitor of 0.1 µF ceramic. The datasheet confirms stability across ESR values from a few milliohms up to 10 Ω, allowing flexibility in capacitor selection. Larger values (e.g., 1.0 µF) improve load transient response and noise rejection - as demonstrated in Figures 10 and 11 of the NCP663SQ25T1G datasheet.
What is the dropout voltage of the NCP663SQ25T1G at full load?
The dropout voltage of the NCP663SQ25T1G is 300 mV typical at 100 mA load and 25 °C, measured when Vout drops 3.0% below nominal (i.e., to 2.425 V). This value increases slightly at temperature extremes and higher loads - reaching up to 500 mV maximum across −40 °C to +85 °C, per Electrical Characteristics Table on page 3 of the datasheet.
Is the NCP663SQ25T1G RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the NCP663SQ25T1G is Pb-free and RoHS-compliant. The "G" suffix in the part number explicitly denotes lead-free packaging, and the datasheet confirms Pb-free packages are available for the entire NCP663 series. The device meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) requirements and is qualified for reflow soldering per industry standards.
