Product details
Overview
NCV612SQ15T2G from onsemi is an automotive-grade, fixed-output CMOS low-dropout linear regulator delivering 100 mA at 1.5 V with ultra-low quiescent current (40 µA typical), 230 mV dropout at 100 mA, and ±2.0% output voltage accuracy over −40 °C to +125 °C - designed for battery-powered infotainment modules and ADAS sensor power rails.
For engineers reviewing the NCV612SQ15T2G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include AEC-Q100 qualification, SC70-5 thermal performance under 125 °C ambient, enable-controlled shutdown, and compatibility with 1.0 µF ceramic output capacitors without ESR constraints.
Technical Context
The NCV612SQ15T2G integrates a PMOS pass transistor, precision voltage reference, error amplifier, and thermal/overcurrent protection - enabling stable regulation with minimal external components. Its enable input supports logic-level control (VTH(en) = 0.95 V high, 0.3 V low), and it operates with input voltages from 1.8 V to 6.0 V.
Designed for automotive environments, it features internal thermal shutdown (trip ~160 °C), −40 °C to +125 °C operating ambient range, and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification. Output voltage remains stable across load (1–100 mA) and line (VIN = VOUT + 1.0 V to 6.0 V) variations, with 100 µVRMS noise (100 Hz–100 kHz).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.5 V ±2.0% over −40 °C to +125 °C - ensures stable core supply for low-voltage MCUs and sensors. |
| Max Output Current | 100 mA continuous - sufficient for powering single-core microcontrollers or camera ISP blocks. |
| Dropout Voltage | 230 mV at 100 mA - enables operation from 1.73 V input, supporting LiFePO₄ or partially discharged Li-ion cells. |
| Quiescent Current | 40 µA typical - extends battery life in always-on vehicle telematics and wake-up circuits. |
| Enable Threshold | 0.95 V (logic high turn-on), 0.3 V (logic low turn-off) - compatible with 1.8 V and 3.3 V GPIOs without level-shifting. |
| Thermal Protection | Internal shutdown at ~160 °C junction - prevents latch-up during transient overload or poor PCB heatsinking. |
| Noise Performance | 100 µVRMS (100 Hz–100 kHz) - suitable for analog front-ends and precision ADC references. |
Pinout & Package
Housed in the SC70-5 (SOT-353) surface-mount package (case 419A), the NCV612SQ15T2G uses a 5-pin layout optimized for space-constrained automotive modules. The package features exposed pad thermal enhancement and Pb-free construction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Vin | Positive input supply (1.8–6.0 V); requires local 1.0 µF ceramic decoupling. |
| 2 | Gnd | Power ground reference; must connect to low-impedance PCB plane for stability. |
| 3 | Enable | Active-high digital control; pull to Vin for always-on operation, or drive with MCU GPIO. |
| 4 | N/C | No internal connection - leave unconnected; not usable as thermal pad or auxiliary terminal. |
| 5 | Vout | Regulated 1.5 V output; supports 1.0 µF+ ceramic capacitor with no ESR requirement. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Qualified | Grade 1 (−40 °C to +125 °C ambient) - certified for engine bay and cabin electronics per automotive reliability standards. |
| Ultra-Low IQ | 40 µA typical - reduces standby power loss in ignition-off vehicle networks (e.g., CAN wake-up receivers). |
| Low-ESR Cap Compatible | Stable with 1.0 µF ceramic output capacitors (0–5 Ω ESR) - eliminates need for costly tantalum or polymer caps. |
| Integrated Protection | Thermal shutdown + current limit - prevents damage during short-circuit or thermal overload without external circuitry. |
| Pb-Free & RoHS Compliant | SC70-5 package with "G" suffix - meets global automotive environmental compliance requirements (ELV, REACH). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NCV8170ASN150T1G | Higher IQ (1.2 µA typ), lower max IOUT (150 mA), same SC70-5 package and 1.5 V output. | Optimized for ultra-low-power IoT nodes; lacks AEC-Q100 qualification and automotive temp range. | Select when cost-sensitive non-automotive designs require sub-µA quiescent current and higher output current margin. |
| TLV73315PDBVR | Lower dropout (170 mV @ 100 mA), 300 mA rating, SOT-23-5 package - larger footprint and different pinout. | Industrial-grade (−40 °C to +125 °C) but not AEC-Q100 qualified; no enable pin - always-on operation only. | Choose for space-tolerant industrial applications needing higher current and tighter dropout, where enable control is unnecessary. |
Compared with NCV612SQ15T2G, NCV8170ASN150T1G offers lower quiescent current but lacks automotive qualification, while TLV73315PDBVR provides better dropout and current capability in a non-pin-compatible package - making NCV612SQ15T2G the only AEC-Q100-compliant 1.5 V SC70-5 LDO with enable and 40 µA IQ in this performance class.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCV612SQ15T2G?
The NCV612SQ15T2G has an absolute maximum input voltage (VIN) of 6.0 V, as specified in the Maximum Ratings table. Operation above this voltage risks permanent damage. For reliable 1.5 V output regulation, the recommended minimum input is VOUT + 1.0 V (i.e., ≥2.5 V), with dropout increasing linearly below that margin. The NCV612SQ15T2G maintains regulation down to 1.73 V input at full 100 mA load.
Does the NCV612SQ15T2G require an external capacitor on the Enable pin?
No, the NCV612SQ15T2G does not require an external capacitor on the Enable pin. The enable input is a CMOS-compatible digital control node with negligible input current (nA range). If unused, the pin must be tied directly to Vin to ensure default-on operation; floating the pin is prohibited and may cause erratic behavior. No filtering or debouncing capacitor is needed unless system-level EMI mitigation dictates otherwise.
Is the NCV612SQ15T2G pin-compatible with other variants in the NCV612 family?
Yes, all NCV612 variants - including NCV612SQ15T2G, NCV612SQ25T2G, and NCV612SQ33T2G - share identical SC70-5 pinout, package dimensions, and electrical interface. Only the output voltage and marking code differ; no PCB redesign is required when substituting between fixed-voltage versions within the same temperature grade and enable configuration.
What is the thermal resistance (RJA) of the NCV612SQ15T2G in standard JEDEC PCB layout?
The datasheet specifies RJA = 300 °C/W for the SC70-5 package under standard JEDEC High-K test board conditions (JESD51-7). Actual RJA depends heavily on PCB copper area: with 100 mm² of 1 oz. copper connected to Pin 2 (Gnd) and Pin 1 (Vin), RJA improves to ~180 °C/W. At 25 °C ambient, the NCV612SQ15T2G can dissipate up to 330 mW before reaching its 125 °C junction limit.
Can the NCV612SQ15T2G be used with ceramic capacitors smaller than 1.0 µF?
No - the NCV612SQ15T2G is characterized and guaranteed stable only with ≥1.0 µF ceramic output capacitance, as confirmed in the Applications Information section. Using smaller values (e.g., 0.47 µF) may cause oscillation or degraded load transient response due to insufficient phase margin. Input capacitance also requires ≥1.0 µF ceramic placed close to Pins 1 and 2; both CIN and COUT must meet this minimum for full specification compliance.
