Product details
Overview
MC33275D-2.5R2G from onsemi is a fixed-output 2.5 V, 300 mA low-dropout (LDO) linear voltage regulator in SOIC-8 package. It delivers ultra-low dropout voltage (25 mV at 10 mA; 260 mV at 300 mA), tight line/load regulation (<10 mV), and stable operation with only 0.33 µF output capacitance - ideal for battery-powered handheld instruments requiring extended runtime and low-noise supply.
For engineers reviewing the MC33275D-2.5R2G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include dropout performance at full load, thermal shutdown behavior at 150°C, quiescent current (125 µA typ), output voltage tolerance (±2% over −40°C to +125°C), and compatibility with low-ESR ceramic capacitors.
Technical Context
The MC33275D-2.5R2G employs a PNP pass transistor architecture enabling low dropout operation without external bias rails. Its internal current limit (450 mA typ) and thermal shutdown circuit activate independently to protect against overload and junction overheating.
It operates across −40°C to +125°C ambient temperature with input voltage up to 13 V, and maintains regulation down to VIN = VOUT + 260 mV at 300 mA. Ripple rejection exceeds 65 dB at 120 Hz, and output noise is 46 µVrms (10 Hz–100 kHz) with 200 µF capacitor.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.5 V ±2% over −40°C to +125°C - ensures stable logic-level supply for 2.5 V microcontrollers and sensors. |
| Max Output Current | 300 mA continuous - sufficient to power multiple low-power ICs (e.g., MCU + ADC + interface) from single LDO. |
| Dropout Voltage | 260 mV at 300 mA - enables operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0 V min) or two-cell alkaline (3.2 V min) with margin. |
| Quiescent Current | 125 µA typical - minimizes standby power loss in battery-critical applications like portable medical devices. |
| Line Regulation | ≤10 mV over VIN = (VOUT + 1) V to 12 V - maintains tight output stability despite battery voltage sag or input ripple. |
| Load Regulation | ≤25 mV over 0–250 mA load - prevents output droop during dynamic processor wake/sleep transitions. |
| Ripple Rejection | ≥65 dB at 120 Hz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C activation - protects die during sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking without latch-off. |
Pinout & Package
MC33275D-2.5R2G uses SOIC-8 (Case 751) package with exposed pad for thermal enhancement. Pin 1 is Input (VIN), Pin 2 is Ground (GND), Pin 3 is Output (VOUT), and Pins 4–8 are internally connected to GND per datasheet Figure 2 (MC33275D pinout).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Input (VIN) | Primary DC input connection; must be bypassed with ≥0.33 µF capacitor near pin for stability. |
| Pin 2 | Ground (GND) | Main reference and return path; connects to PCB ground plane for thermal and noise control. |
| Pin 3 | Output (VOUT) | Regulated 2.5 V supply; requires low-ESR output capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| Pins 4–8 | Ground (GND) | Multiple GND terminals reduce impedance and improve thermal conduction to PCB copper area. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 25 mV at 10 mA enables use in deep-battery-discharge scenarios where input may dip close to output. |
| Stable with minimal capacitance | 0.33 µF ceramic output cap suffices - reduces BOM count and board space vs. traditional LDOs needing >10 µF. |
| Integrated protection | Current limit (450 mA) and thermal shutdown (150°C) eliminate need for external fault-handling circuitry. |
| Low-noise operation | 46 µVrms output noise (with 200 µF cap) supports precision analog circuits like 12-bit ADCs and op-amps. |
| Pb-free & AEC-Q100 capable | RoHS-compliant packaging; NCV variant available for automotive - confirms robustness for industrial environments. |
Applications
| Hand-Held Medical Instruments | Industrial Sensor Nodes |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NCP1117ST25T3G | Higher dropout (1.1 V @ 800 mA), TO-220/SOT-223 only, no SOIC-8 option. | Requires larger PCB footprint and heatsink; unsuitable for space-constrained SOIC designs. | Select when higher current (>500 mA) is needed and thermal design allows TO-220 mounting. |
| MCP1700T-2502E/MB | Lower IQ (1.6 µA), but max current only 250 mA; SOT-23-3 package, no multi-GND pins. | Lacks thermal robustness and current headroom for burst-load applications like sensor sampling. | Prefer for ultra-low-power, low-current nodes where SOIC-8 footprint and 300 mA headroom are unnecessary. |
Compared with NCP1117ST25T3G and MCP1700T-2502E/MB, MC33275D-2.5R2G uniquely balances SOIC-8 compactness, 300 mA capability, sub-300 mV dropout, and integrated multi-GND thermal path - making it optimal for space-limited industrial and portable designs demanding both efficiency and reliability.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for MC33275D-2.5R2G to maintain regulation at 300 mA?
The MC33275D-2.5R2G requires VIN ≥ VOUT + 260 mV to maintain regulation at 300 mA, meaning minimum input is 2.76 V. This value is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table (Dropout Voltage row, IO = 300 mA) and validated across −40°C to +125°C junction temperature range.
Can MC33275D-2.5R2G operate with a 0.22 µF ceramic output capacitor?
No - MC33275D-2.5R2G requires ≥0.33 µF output capacitance for stability at 2.5 V output, as explicitly stated in the Applications Information section. While 5.0 V versions accept 0.22 µF, using undersized capacitance risks oscillation and output instability.
Does MC33275D-2.5R2G have built-in reverse polarity protection?
No - the MC33275D-2.5R2G does not include reverse polarity protection. The Absolute Maximum Ratings specify input voltage range as 0 to 13 V (no negative rating), and the block diagram shows no series diode or protection circuitry. External input protection must be added if reverse voltage exposure is possible.
Is the thermal shutdown of MC33275D-2.5R2G latched or self-resetting?
The thermal shutdown in MC33275D-2.5R2G is self-resetting with no hysteresis. As described in the Applications Information section, output disables at ~150°C and re-enables once junction temperature falls below threshold - causing observable oscillation under sustained overload conditions.
What is the maximum allowable power dissipation for MC33275D-2.5R2G in SOIC-8 package at 25°C ambient?
At TA = 25°C, the SOIC-8 (D suffix) package has RJA = 160°C/W. With TJ(max) = 150°C, maximum power dissipation is PD = (150 − 25)/160 = 0.78 W. This assumes no PCB copper extension; actual dissipation increases with added copper area per Figure 19.
