Product details
Overview
NCV612SQ50T1 from onsemi is an automotive-grade 100 mA CMOS low-IQ linear voltage regulator in SC70−5 (SOT−353) package, delivering fixed 5.0 V output with ±2.0% accuracy, 40 µA typical quiescent current, and 230 mV dropout at 100 mA - designed for battery-powered infotainment modules and body control units requiring stable low-power supply.
For engineers reviewing the NCV612SQ50T1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its −40°C to +125°C operating range, enable-controlled shutdown, SC70−5 footprint compatibility, and ceramic-capacitor stability without ESR constraints.
Technical Context
The NCV612SQ50T1 integrates a PMOS pass transistor, precision voltage reference, error amplifier, and thermal/overcurrent protection circuits - enabling ultra-low quiescent operation while maintaining regulation under load transients up to 100 mA. Its architecture avoids PNP-based dropout penalties and eliminates need for external compensation.
It operates across 0–6.0 V input range with logic-level enable control (VTH(HI) = 0.95 V, VTH(LO) = 0.3 V), supports 1.0 µF ceramic input/output capacitors, and features internal thermal shutdown triggered at ~160°C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.0 V ±2.0% (ensures reliable MCU core/logic rail tolerance compliance) |
| Quiescent Current | 40 µA typical (enables >1-year battery life in always-on automotive sensors) |
| Dropout Voltage | 230 mV at 100 mA (supports regulation down to 5.23 V input for 5.0 V output) |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +125°C (qualified for under-hood and dashboard ECUs) |
| Enable Threshold | 0.95 V (logic-high turn-on; compatible with 1.8 V/3.3 V GPIOs) |
| Output Noise | 100 µVRMS (100 Hz–100 kHz; suitable for analog sensor power rails) |
| Line Regulation | 3.0 mV/V (minimizes output drift during battery voltage sag) |
Pinout & Package
NCV612SQ50T1 uses the SC70−5 (Case 419A−02, also known as SOT−353) surface-mount package: 1.80–2.20 mm × 1.15–1.35 mm footprint, 0.65 mm lead pitch, 0.10–0.30 mm thickness - 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 |
| 2 | Gnd | Power ground reference; must connect to low-impedance ground plane |
| 3 | Enable | Active-high digital control (0 V = shutdown, ≥0.95 V = active); float-to-Vin if unused |
| 4 | N/C | No internal connection; must remain unconnected or grounded (not tied to Vin) |
| 5 | Vout | Regulated 5.0 V output; supports 1.0 µF+ ceramic capacitor without ESR requirements |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low IQ | 40 µA typical enables <1 µA system standby current when paired with enable-controlled downstream circuitry |
| Automotive qualification | NCV prefix denotes AEC-Q100 stress-tested design and controlled manufacturing for safety-critical subsystems |
| Ceramic capacitor compatibility | Stable with 1.0 µF X5R/X7R ceramics (no minimum ESR required), reducing BOM count vs. tantalum solutions |
| Thermal shutdown | Internal protection activates at ~160°C junction temperature, preventing latch-up or permanent damage during overload |
| Pb-free packaging | RoHS-compliant SC70−5 package (marked "LHW") meets automotive ELV and global environmental directives |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-IQ LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS78050QDRVRQ1 | Higher 250 mV dropout at 100 mA; 500 nA IQ; same SC70−5 package | Better for ultra-low-power sleep modes but less margin during cranking | Select if system prioritizes nanoampere shutdown over cranking robustness |
| MCP1703T-5002E/MB | 300 mV dropout; 2.5 µA IQ; SOT-23-5 package (larger footprint) | Wider input range (2.3–16 V); no enable pin; higher thermal resistance | Choose when board layout allows SOT-23 and enable control is unnecessary |
Compared with TPS78050QDRVRQ1 and MCP1703T-5002E/MB, the NCV612SQ50T1 offers optimal balance of cranking resilience (230 mV dropout), automotive temperature range, and enable functionality - all in the smallest SC70−5 footprint.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the NCV612SQ50T1?
The NCV612SQ50T1 has an absolute maximum input voltage of 6.0 V. Exceeding this rating may cause permanent damage. For reliable operation, maintain Vin ≤ 6.0 V across all conditions including load transients and thermal extremes. The device regulates properly down to Vin = Vout + dropout (i.e., ≥5.23 V for full 100 mA output at 5.0 V).
Does the NCV612SQ50T1 require external capacitors, and what values are recommended?
Yes - the NCV612SQ50T1 requires both input (Cin) and output (Cout) capacitors. A 1.0 µF ceramic capacitor is recommended for each, placed as close as possible to the respective pins. Larger values improve transient response and noise rejection; the regulator remains stable with ESR from near-zero up to 5.0 Ω, making it compatible with standard X5R/X7R MLCCs.
How does the enable pin function on the NCV612SQ50T1, and what happens if left unconnected?
The enable pin is active-high: pulling it ≥0.95 V turns the regulator on; pulling it ≤0.3 V disables output. If unused, the pin must be connected directly to Vin - floating the enable pin risks unpredictable behavior due to noise coupling. No pull-up resistor is needed since Vin provides sufficient drive.
Is the NCV612SQ50T1 qualified for automotive applications, and what standards does it meet?
Yes - the NCV prefix indicates automotive qualification per onsemi's NCV product line. While not explicitly AEC-Q100 certified in this datasheet, the NCV612SQ50T1 is manufactured with automotive process controls, tested across −40°C to +125°C ambient, and designed for use in body electronics, infotainment, and telematics systems requiring extended temperature reliability and controlled change management.
What thermal considerations apply when using the NCV612SQ50T1 at 100 mA output current?
At 100 mA and 5.0 V output with 6.0 V input, power dissipation is ~100 mW. With RJA = 300°C/W, junction rise is ~30°C above ambient - well within the 150°C max TJ limit. However, PCB copper area under the exposed pad (if used) and airflow should be optimized; derate output current if ambient exceeds 85°C or if thermal relief is limited.
