Product details
Overview
NCV612SQ31T1G from onsemi is an automotive-grade CMOS low-dropout linear voltage regulator delivering a fixed 3.1 V output at up to 100 mA, featuring ultra-low 40 µA quiescent current, 210 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 NCV612SQ31T1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include AEC-Q100 qualification, SC70-5 thermal performance (RJA = 300 °C/W), enable-controlled standby mode, and ceramic-capacitor stability without ESR constraints.
Technical Context
The NCV612SQ31T1G integrates a PMOS pass transistor with internal voltage reference, error amplifier, and protection circuitry (current limit, thermal shutdown). Its architecture enables stable regulation with 1.0 µF input/output ceramic capacitors and supports dynamic load steps up to 60 mA with <±50 mV transient deviation.
Operation is controlled via a dedicated Enable pin with logic-high threshold of 0.95 V and logic-low threshold of 0.3 V; when unused, it must be tied to Vin. The device maintains regulation down to 210 mV dropout at full 100 mA load across its full automotive temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.1 V ±2.0% over −40 °C to +125 °C - ensures stable MCU core or sensor bias under automotive thermal cycling. |
| Max Output Current | 100 mA continuous - sufficient for low-power microcontrollers, CAN transceivers, or image sensors in compact modules. |
| Dropout Voltage | 210 mV typical at 100 mA - enables operation from 3.31 V input, critical for post-buck or battery-sourced systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 40 µA typical (Enable = Vin) - extends battery life in always-on vehicle subsystems like door modules or telematics. |
| Enable Threshold | 0.95 V (turn-on), 0.3 V (turn-off) - compatible with 1.8 V/3.3 V GPIO without level-shifting. |
| Thermal Range | −40 °C to +125 °C junction - validated for under-hood and dashboard-mounted applications per AEC-Q100 Grade 1. |
| 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 - 2.2 mm × 1.35 mm footprint with 0.65 mm pitch, optimized for space-constrained automotive PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Vin | Positive input supply (0–6.0 V); requires local 1.0 µF ceramic decoupling per layout guidelines. |
| 2 | Gnd | Power ground return; must connect to low-impedance ground plane to minimize noise coupling. |
| 3 | Enable | Active-high digital control: ≥0.95 V enables regulation; ≤0.3 V disables output and reduces IQ to <1 µA. |
| 4 | N/C | No internal connection - left floating or grounded; no electrical function or routing required. |
| 5 | Vout | Regulated 3.1 V output; stable with 1.0 µF ceramic capacitor (ESR 1–5 Ω acceptable). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Qualified | Grade 1 (−40 °C to +125 °C) with PPAP capability - meets automotive OEM requirements for functional safety-critical power domains. |
| Ultra-Low IQ | 40 µA typical enables >1-year battery standby in always-on vehicle modules without compromising regulation. |
| Ceramic-Cap Stable | No minimum ESR requirement - eliminates need for tantalum or aluminum electrolytics, reducing BOM cost and board area. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at ~160 °C junction temperature - protects against solder reflow damage and sustained overload conditions. |
| Pb-Free & RoHS | SC70-5 package with matte-tin lead finish - compliant with automotive ELV and global environmental directives. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCV612SQ31T1G?
The NCV612SQ31T1G has an absolute maximum input voltage of 6.0 V. Operation above this level risks permanent damage. For reliable 3.1 V output, minimum recommended input is 3.31 V (3.1 V + 210 mV dropout), and typical use cases apply 3.3 V or 5.0 V inputs with appropriate derating for thermal limits.
Does the NCV612SQ31T1G require external components to operate stably?
Yes - the NCV612SQ31T1G requires a minimum 1.0 µF ceramic capacitor on both input (Vin) and output (Vout) pins, placed as close as possible to the device. No ESR constraints apply, and higher capacitance improves load transient response. The Enable pin must be pulled high to Vin if not actively controlled.
Is the NCV612SQ31T1G pin-compatible with other variants in the NCV612 series?
Yes - all NCV612 variants (e.g., NCV612SQ30T1G, NCV612SQ33T1G) share identical SC70-5 pinout and package dimensions. Only the output voltage and marking code differ; no PCB redesign is needed when changing between 1.5 V–5.0 V versions.
What thermal derating applies to the NCV612SQ31T1G at 85 °C ambient?
At 85 °C ambient, the NCV612SQ31T1G's maximum power dissipation drops to ~220 mW (calculated as (125 °C − 85 °C)/300 °C/W). With 3.1 V output and 100 mA load, max allowable input is ~5.3 V to stay within thermal limits - verify with actual board layout using thermal vias and copper pour.
How does the Enable pin behavior affect system-level power sequencing?
The NCV612SQ31T1G Enable pin provides precise control: output turns on when voltage exceeds 0.95 V and turns off below 0.3 V. This allows clean power-up/down sequencing with microcontroller GPIOs, supports wake-on-event architectures, and reduces system standby current to <1 µA when disabled - critical for ISO 19453-compliant vehicle modules.
