Product details
Overview
NCV612SQ25T1G from onsemi is an automotive-grade CMOS low-dropout linear voltage regulator delivering 100 mA output at fixed 2.5 V with ultra-low 40 µA quiescent current, 230 mV dropout at 100 mA, and ±2.0% output voltage accuracy - designed for battery-powered infotainment modules and ADAS sensor power rails where thermal efficiency and standby power minimization are critical.
For engineers reviewing the NCV612SQ25T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include AEC-Q100 qualification, SC70-5 package thermal performance, enable-controlled shutdown capability, and compatibility with 1.0 µF ceramic output capacitors in space-constrained automotive PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The NCV612SQ25T1G integrates a PMOS pass transistor, precision voltage reference, error amplifier, and thermal/overcurrent protection circuits - enabling stable regulation without external compensation. Its architecture supports operation across −40 °C to +125 °C ambient, with internal current limiting set to 150–600 mA depending on input/output differential.
Enable functionality provides logic-level control (VTH(EN) = 0.95 V high, 0.3 V low), allowing system-level power sequencing; unused Enable must be tied to Vin. The device achieves 70 dB ripple rejection at 100 Hz and maintains <100 µVRMS output noise (100 Hz–100 kHz) under 30 mA load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5 V ±2.0% over −40 °C to +125 °C - ensures stable MCU core or sensor bias supply despite automotive temperature cycling. |
| Max Output Current | 100 mA continuous - sufficient for low-power microcontrollers, CAN transceivers, or image sensors in compact modules. |
| Dropout Voltage | 230 mV at 100 mA - enables regulation from 2.73 V input, supporting single-cell LiFePO₄ or dual-cell alkaline sources. |
| Quiescent Current | 40 µA typical - reduces standby power loss in always-on vehicle networks (e.g., body control modules). |
| Operating Temp Range | −40 °C to +125 °C - meets AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements for under-hood and cabin-mounted electronics. |
| Package | SC70-5 (SOT-353) - 2.0 × 1.25 × 0.95 mm footprint ideal for dense automotive PCBs with limited real estate. |
| Enable Threshold | 0.95 V (rising), 0.3 V (falling) - compatible with 1.8 V/3.3 V GPIO without level-shifting in modern SoC designs. |
Pinout & Package
NCV612SQ25T1G is housed in the SC70-5 (SOT-353) surface-mount package - a 5-pin, lead-free, micro-miniature outline with 0.65 mm pitch and exposed pad not present. Thermal resistance is 300 °C/W (Junction-to-Ambient), requiring minimal copper area for automotive-grade reliability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Vin | Positive input supply - accepts 0–6.0 V; must be decoupled with ≥1.0 µF ceramic capacitor near pin. |
| 2 | Gnd | Power ground reference - low-impedance connection required to minimize noise coupling into regulation loop. |
| 3 | Enable | Active-high digital control - pulls device into 0.03 µA shutdown when low; tie to Vin if unused. |
| 4 | N/C | No internal connection - must remain unconnected; floating or grounded per design has no functional impact. |
| 5 | Vout | Regulated 2.5 V output - stable with 1.0 µF ceramic capacitor; ESR from 0 to 5 Ω supported. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Qualified | Grade 1 (−40 °C to +125 °C) - certified for automotive power management in safety-critical subsystems. |
| Ultra-Low IQ | 40 µA typical - extends battery life in telematics units during ignition-off periods without compromising wake-up latency. |
| Low-ESR Ceramic Cap Support | Stable with 1.0 µF X5R/X7R ceramics - eliminates need for costly tantalum or polymer capacitors in cost-sensitive modules. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at ~160 °C junction - protects against solder reflow damage and sustained overload in enclosed enclosures. |
| High Ripple Rejection | 70 dB @ 100 Hz - suppresses alternator ripple and switching converter noise feeding adjacent analog circuits. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV73325PDBVR | 2.5 V, 300 mA, 65 µA IQ, SOT-23-5 - higher current but 1.6× quiescent current and no AEC-Q100 rating. | Suitable for industrial IoT gateways; not qualified for automotive production. | Select only for non-automotive designs requiring >100 mA or tighter line regulation (0.05%/V vs. 1.0 mV/V). |
| AP7361-25SG-13 | 2.5 V, 300 mA, 50 µA IQ, SOT-23-5 - wider temp range (−40 °C to +150 °C) but no enable pin or AEC-Q100 certification. | Fits under-hood engine control units needing extended junction temperature margin. | Prefer when thermal derating beyond +125 °C ambient is required and enable control is unnecessary. |
Compared with TLV73325PDBVR and AP7361-25SG-13, the NCV612SQ25T1G uniquely combines AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, enable functionality, and 40 µA quiescent current in SC70-5 - making it the only drop-in option for automotive modules requiring both low-power standby and production compliance.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCV612SQ25T1G?
The NCV612SQ25T1G supports an absolute maximum input voltage of 6.0 V. Exceeding this limit risks permanent damage to the internal PMOS pass transistor and protection circuitry. For reliable operation, maintain Vin ≤ Vout + 3.5 V (i.e., ≤6.0 V for 2.5 V output) while respecting thermal limits - especially at high ambient temperatures or elevated load currents.
Does the NCV612SQ25T1G require external capacitors, and what values are recommended?
Yes, the NCV612SQ25T1G requires both input (Cin) and output (Cout) decoupling capacitors. onsemi specifies minimum 1.0 µF ceramic capacitors for both positions - placed as close as possible to the respective pins. Larger values (e.g., 2.2–10 µF) improve transient response and noise rejection, but ESR up to 5 Ω remains stable per datasheet validation.
Is the NCV612SQ25T1G pin-compatible with other devices in the NCV612 family?
Yes, all NCV612 variants - including NCV612SQ15T1G, NCV612SQ30T1G, and NCV612SQ33T1G - share identical SC70-5 pinout and electrical interface. Only the output voltage and marking code differ; no PCB redesign is needed when substituting between fixed-voltage versions of the same package.
What is the thermal shutdown behavior of the NCV612SQ25T1G?
The NCV612SQ25T1G incorporates internal thermal protection that disables the output when junction temperature reaches approximately 160 °C. Once tripped, the device remains off until junction temperature falls below the hysteresis threshold (~140 °C), then resumes normal regulation automatically - no external reset required.
Can the NCV612SQ25T1G be used without connecting the Enable pin?
Yes - if the Enable function is unused, the pin must be connected directly to Vin to ensure the regulator remains enabled. Leaving Enable floating may cause erratic output behavior due to noise coupling or undefined logic state, violating the specified operating conditions in the datasheet.
