Product details
Overview
NCV612SQ28T2G from onsemi is an automotive-grade, fixed-output CMOS low-dropout linear regulator delivering 2.8 V at up to 100 mA with 40 µA typical quiescent current and 250 mV dropout at full load. It integrates PMOS pass transistor, thermal shutdown, current limiting, and enable control - designed for battery-powered infotainment modules and ADAS sensors requiring stable low-voltage bias under wide temperature extremes.
For engineers reviewing the NCV612SQ28T2G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include AEC-Q100 qualification, −40 °C to +125 °C operation, SC70-5 package footprint, and 2.0% output voltage accuracy across temperature and load.
Technical Context
The NCV612SQ28T2G employs a PMOS pass element architecture enabling ultra-low quiescent current and dropout performance independent of load current polarity. Its internal error amplifier maintains regulation by comparing a trimmed bandgap reference against the feedback network - which is fully integrated for fixed 2.8 V output.
Enable logic operates with 0.3 V (low) / 0.95 V (high) thresholds, supporting direct connection to microcontroller GPIOs without level-shifting. Thermal protection activates at ~160 °C junction temperature, and the device sustains 100 mA continuous output while maintaining ±2.0% output accuracy from −40 °C to +125 °C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.8 V ±2.0% over −40 °C to +125 °C and 1–100 mA load - ensures stable MCU core/buffer rail in automotive ECUs. |
| Dropout Voltage | 250 mV max at 100 mA and 2.8 V output - enables operation down to 3.05 V input, critical for cold-crank battery conditions. |
| Quiescent Current | 40 µA typical at no load - extends battery life in always-on telematics modules during vehicle sleep mode. |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C ambient - meets AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements for under-hood and cabin electronics. |
| Input Voltage Range | 0 V to 6.0 V - supports direct connection to 5 V systems or post-LDO 3.3 V rails without external clamping. |
| Output Noise | 100 µVrms (100 Hz–100 kHz) - suitable for noise-sensitive analog sensor signal chains and RF front-end biasing. |
| Enable Threshold | 0.95 V (turn-on), 0.3 V (turn-off) - compatible with 1.8 V/3.3 V logic without pull-up resistors. |
Pinout & Package
NCV612SQ28T2G is housed in the SC70-5 (SOT-353) surface-mount package - 2.0 mm × 1.25 mm footprint with 0.65 mm lead pitch - optimized for space-constrained automotive PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Vin | Positive input supply: accepts 0–6.0 V; requires local 1.0 µF ceramic decoupling per datasheet layout guidance. |
| 2 | Gnd | Power ground reference: must be connected to low-impedance PCB ground plane to ensure stability and thermal performance. |
| 3 | Enable | Digital control input: pulls low to disable regulator (IQ < 1 µA); connect to Vin if unused to guarantee always-on operation. |
| 4 | N/C | No internal connection: left unconnected; no routing or soldering required. |
| 5 | Vout | Regulated 2.8 V output: requires 1.0 µF minimum ceramic output capacitor placed adjacent to pin for transient response and noise suppression. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Qualified | Qualified to Grade 1 (−40 °C to +125 °C) with PPAP documentation support - enables use in ASIL-B compliant power domains. |
| Ultra-Low IQ | 40 µA typical quiescent current - reduces standby power loss in always-on vehicle networks (e.g., CAN FD wake-up circuits). |
| PMOS Pass Transistor | Enables low dropout and eliminates reverse-current path - prevents backfeed from Vout to Vin during input brownout or hot-swap events. |
| Integrated Protection | Thermal shutdown (160 °C), current limit (~150–600 mA depending on Vin), and ESD robustness (2 kV HBM) - eliminates need for external protection components. |
| Ceramic-Capacitor Stable | Stable with 1.0 µF ceramic output capacitors (0–5 Ω ESR) - simplifies BOM and improves high-frequency PSRR vs. tantalum alternatives. |
Applications
| Infotainment Power Rail | ADAS Camera Bias Supply |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for NCV612SQ28T2G?
The NCV612SQ28T2G has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 6.0 V, as specified in the Maximum Ratings table. Operation above this voltage risks permanent damage. For reliable 2.8 V output, the recommended minimum input is 3.05 V (2.8 V + 250 mV dropout), and typical system design uses 3.3 V or 5.0 V supplies with appropriate derating for thermal and transient conditions.
Does NCV612SQ28T2G require external capacitors, and what values are recommended?
Yes, NCV612SQ28T2G requires both input and output capacitors. The datasheet specifies a minimum 1.0 µF ceramic capacitor for both Cin and Cout, placed as close as possible to the device pins. These capacitors stabilize regulation, suppress noise, and improve transient response. TDK part numbers C2012X5R1C105K and C1608X5R1A105K are explicitly recommended in the Applications Information section.
Is NCV612SQ28T2G pin-compatible with other variants in the NCV612 family?
Yes, all NCV612 variants - including NCV612SQ15T2G, NCV612SQ25T2G, NCV612SQ27T2G, and NCV612SQ28T2G - share identical SC70-5 pinout and package dimensions. The only differences are output voltage and marking code (LHO, LHQ, LHR, LHS respectively); no PCB redesign is needed when swapping between fixed-voltage versions.
What does the "*" symbol next to NCV612SQ28T2G in the ordering table indicate?
The asterisk denotes that NCV612SQ28T2G is marked as "DISCONTINUED" in the official onsemi datasheet revision history (Rev. 5, Nov. 2025). However, Aetrix Electronics maintains active inventory and supply chain support for this part through authorized channels and legacy procurement programs - ensuring continuity for existing automotive designs still in production.
How does the Enable pin function on NCV612SQ28T2G, and what happens when it's left unconnected?
The Enable pin (Pin 3) controls regulator output: pulled high (≥0.95 V) to enable, pulled low (≤0.3 V) to disable (reducing IQ to <1 µA). If unused, the datasheet explicitly states it must be connected to Vin to guarantee reliable turn-on - leaving it floating may cause erratic behavior due to noise susceptibility and undefined logic state.
