Product details
Overview
NCV553SQ50T1 from onsemi is an automotive-grade 5.0 V fixed-output NOCAP low-dropout linear regulator with ultra-low quiescent current (2.8 µA typical), ±2.0% output voltage accuracy, and operation across −40°C to +125°C. It uses a PMOS pass transistor, requires no output capacitor for stability, and delivers up to 80 mA output current-designed for battery-powered infotainment modules and body control units where standby power minimization is critical.
For engineers reviewing the NCV553SQ50T1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include its SC82-AB (SC70-4) 4-pin package, N/C pin configuration, dropout voltage of 470 mV at 80 mA, thermal shutdown protection, and compatibility with ceramic decoupling capacitors down to 0.1 µF.
Technical Context
The NCV553SQ50T1 implements a PMOS-based LDO architecture with internal voltage reference, error amplifier, and thermal/overcurrent protection circuits. It operates without mandatory output capacitance due to inherent stability across ceramic capacitor ESR ranges from near-zero to 10 Ω.
Unlike the NCP552 variant, it lacks an enable pin-Pin 4 is No Connect-and relies on input voltage control for ON/OFF sequencing. Its 5.0 V output is trimmed at wafer level to ±2.0% over temperature and load, with line regulation of 4.5 mV/V and load regulation of 0.8 mV/mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.0 V ±2.0% over −40°C to +125°C; enables direct replacement of legacy 5 V logic rails without external feedback. |
| Quiescent Current | 2.8 µA typical at 10 mA load; reduces battery drain in always-on automotive modules during sleep mode. |
| Dropout Voltage | 470 mV max at 80 mA and +125°C; supports operation from 5.47 V input in high-temp engine bay environments. |
| Output Current | 80 mA continuous; sufficient for powering microcontrollers, CAN transceivers, and sensor interfaces in compact ECUs. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at ~160°C junction temperature; protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
| Input Voltage Range | Up to 12 V; compatible with 12 V automotive battery systems including load dump transients when paired with external clamping. |
| Noise Performance | 90 µVRMS (20 Hz–100 kHz); suitable for noise-sensitive analog sensors and ADC references. |
Pinout & Package
NCV553SQ50T1 is housed in the SC82-AB (SC70-4) surface-mount package-1.8 mm × 1.15 mm × 0.8 mm, 4-terminal, lead-free, moisture-sensitive level 1. The package features a single exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected) and is optimized for space-constrained automotive PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Power supply ground reference; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling and ensure regulation accuracy. |
| 2 | Vin | Positive input supply pin; accepts 2.8 V to 12 V; requires local 1 µF ceramic decoupling per layout guidelines. |
| 3 | Vout | Regulated 5.0 V output; capable of sourcing up to 80 mA; stable without output capacitor but benefits from ≥0.1 µF for transient response. |
| 4 | N/C | No internal connection; must remain unconnected-no pull-up, pull-down, or routing to avoid parasitic coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| NOCAP Stability | Operates stably without output capacitor-reduces BOM count, board area, and cost in space-limited modules. |
| Automotive Qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified (−40°C to +125°C ambient); meets PPAP requirements for production automotive electronics. |
| Ultra-Low IQ | 2.8 µA typical quiescent current enables >10-year battery life in always-on telematics and door module applications. |
| PMOS Pass Device | Enables low dropout and eliminates reverse current flow-critical for multi-rail systems with shared grounds. |
| Ceramic Capacitor Compatible | Supports X5R/X7R MLCCs from 0.1 µF to 10 µF; eliminates need for higher-ESR tantalum or aluminum electrolytics. |
Applications
| Infotainment Power Rail | Body Control Module (BCM) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NCV8170ASN50T1G | Higher IQ (1.5 µA typ), lower dropout (250 mV @ 150 mA), SOT-23-5 with enable pin. | Requires PCB layout change for 5-pin footprint and enable signal routing; better for active-controlled power domains. | Select if system requires dynamic ON/OFF control and higher output current capability beyond 80 mA. |
| TLV73350PDBVR | Lower IQ (350 nA), same 5 V output, SOT-23-5 with enable, AEC-Q100 Grade 2 (−40°C to +105°C). | Limited to 105°C ambient; not rated for under-hood use; requires enable signal management. | Choose only for cabin-mounted modules where ultra-low IQ outweighs temperature range limitations. |
Compared with NCV553SQ50T1, NCV8170ASN50T1G offers higher current and active control at the cost of added complexity, while TLV73350PDBVR trades automotive temperature range for nanoampere quiescent current-neither is pin-compatible, and both require layout revision.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCV553SQ50T1?
The NCV553SQ50T1 has a maximum input voltage rating of 12 V, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This allows direct connection to standard 12 V automotive battery systems, though sustained operation above 6.5 V at full load requires attention to thermal dissipation due to the device's 400 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance in the SC82-AB package.
Does the NCV553SQ50T1 require an output capacitor to function?
No, the NCV553SQ50T1 is designed as a NOCAP regulator and operates stably without any output capacitor. However, adding a ≥0.1 µF ceramic capacitor improves load transient response and noise rejection-especially important in automotive applications with high di/dt switching loads. Layout best practices still recommend placing input and optional output capacitors as close as possible to the device pins.
What does the "SQ" suffix indicate in NCV553SQ50T1?
The "SQ" suffix in NCV553SQ50T1 denotes the SC82-AB (SC70-4) package type-a 4-pin, micro-miniature surface-mount outline with dimensions 1.8 mm × 1.15 mm. This is confirmed in the Ordering Information table and Package Dimensions section of the datasheet (Case 419C-02), and distinguishes it from other variants offered in different packages such as SOT-23 or DFN.
Is the NCV553SQ50T1 pin-compatible with the NCP553SQ50T1?
Yes, the NCV553SQ50T1 and NCP553SQ50T1 share identical pinout (GND-Vin-Vout-N/C), package (SC82-AB), and electrical specifications except for temperature range and qualification. The NCV version extends operation to +125°C ambient and is AEC-Q100 qualified, making it a drop-in replacement in automotive designs-but not vice versa for high-temp applications.
What is the output voltage accuracy of the NCV553SQ50T1 over temperature?
The NCV553SQ50T1 maintains output voltage accuracy of ±2.0% over its full operating ambient temperature range of −40°C to +125°C at 10 mA load, as verified in the Electrical Characteristics table. At +125°C, the 5.0 V nominal output remains within 4.85 V to 5.15 V, ensuring reliable logic-level compatibility across all automotive environmental conditions.
