Product details
Overview
MC33275D-3.0R2 from onsemi is a fixed-output 3.0 V, 300 mA low-dropout (LDO) linear voltage regulator in SOIC-8 package. It delivers ultra-low dropout (25 mV at 10 mA; 260 mV at 300 mA), tight line/load regulation (<10 mV), and operates over −40°C to +125°C. Designed for battery-powered instrumentation requiring extended runtime and stable low-noise supply.
For engineers reviewing the MC33275D-3.0R2 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include dropout performance at full load, thermal shutdown threshold (150°C), quiescent current (125 µA typ), and stability with minimal 0.33 µF output capacitance.
Technical Context
This LDO uses a PNP pass transistor architecture enabling sub-100 mV dropout at light loads and robust operation down to 2.5 V input. Internal protection includes foldback current limiting (450 mA typ) and thermal shutdown without hysteresis-causing output toggling above 150°C junction temperature.
It achieves high ripple rejection (65 dB min at 120 Hz) and low output noise (46 µVrms with 200 µF capacitor), supporting noise-sensitive analog and mixed-signal circuits. Stability is guaranteed with ≥0.33 µF ceramic or tantalum output capacitors across all 3.0 V operating conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.00 V ±2% over −40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable logic-level supply for 3.3 V I/O systems with margin. |
| Max Output Current | 300 mA - sufficient to power microcontrollers, sensors, and RF front-ends in portable devices. |
| Dropout Voltage | 260 mV at 300 mA - enables operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0 V min) or two-cell alkaline (3.0 V fresh) sources. |
| Quiescent Current | 125 µA typical - extends battery life in always-on monitoring applications like handheld meters. |
| Ripple Rejection | 65 dB minimum at 120 Hz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding the LDO. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C junction - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking without permanent damage. |
| Stability Capacitance | 0.33 µF min (ceramic/tantalum) - reduces BOM count and board space vs. legacy LDOs requiring >10 µF. |
Pinout & Package
MC33275D-3.0R2 is housed in SOIC-8 (Case 751, D suffix), 4.9 mm × 3.9 mm × 1.5 mm body, Pb-free, with exposed pad not connected internally.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Vin) | Input Supply | Accepts 3.3–13 V DC; must be bypassed with ≥0.33 µF capacitor near pin for transient immunity. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground Reference | Primary ground return for regulator core; connects to system ground plane for thermal and noise control. |
| 3 (GND) | Ground Reference | Second ground pin improves thermal conduction and reduces ground impedance in high-current paths. |
| 4 (GND) | Ground Reference | Third ground pin further lowers thermal resistance and stabilizes feedback loop under dynamic load. |
| 5 (N/C) | No Connect | Internally unconnected; must remain floating-no external tie or pull-up/down required. |
| 6 (N/C) | No Connect | Internally unconnected; PCB layout must isolate this pad from traces and planes. |
| 7 (Vout) | Regulated Output | Delivers stable 3.0 V; requires ≥0.33 µF output capacitor placed within 5 mm for stability. |
| 8 (GND) | Ground Reference | Fourth ground terminal enhances thermal dissipation and minimizes output voltage error due to ground bounce. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-Low Dropout | 25 mV at 10 mA enables use in deep-discharge battery scenarios where input falls near output voltage. |
| Tight Load Regulation | ≤25 mV variation from 0–250 mA load ensures consistent voltage for ADC references and precision analog stages. |
| Low-Noise Operation | 46 µVrms (10 Hz–100 kHz) supports sensitive RF receivers and audio codecs without additional filtering. |
| Integrated Protection | Current limit (450 mA) + thermal shutdown (150°C) eliminate need for external fault-handling circuitry. |
| Wide Temp Range | −40°C to +125°C operation qualifies for industrial automation, automotive cabin modules, and outdoor IoT nodes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NCP1117ST30T3G | 800 mA rated, higher IQ (6 mA), TO-220/SOT-223 only - no SOIC-8 option. | Better for high-current, non-space-constrained designs; unsuitable for dense SOIC layouts. | Select when >300 mA load or thermal mass from TO-220 is acceptable; avoid for compact PCBs. |
| MCP1700T-3002E/MB | 250 mA max, 1.6 µA IQ, SOT-23-3 - smaller footprint but lower current and no thermal shutdown. | Ideal for ultra-low-power wake-on-event sensors; lacks overtemperature protection for continuous operation. | Choose for micropower sleep-mode applications; reject if thermal fault coverage or 300 mA peak is required. |
Compared with NCP1117ST30T3G and MCP1700T-3002E/MB, MC33275D-3.0R2 uniquely balances SOIC-8 manufacturability, 300 mA capability, 125 µA quiescent current, and full thermal/current protection-making it optimal for mid-power industrial and portable designs where layout density and reliability coexist.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for MC33275D-3.0R2?
The absolute maximum input voltage for MC33275D-3.0R2 is 13 V DC, as specified in the Maximum Ratings table. Operation above this level risks permanent damage. For reliable 3.0 V output, input should be maintained between 3.3 V (to ensure dropout margin) and 12 V under normal conditions. The device includes internal protection but is not rated for transient overvoltage beyond 13 V.
Does MC33275D-3.0R2 require an input capacitor?
Yes, MC33275D-3.0R2 requires an input bypass capacitor-recommended minimum 0.33 µF-to improve transient response and reduce sensitivity to input line impedance, especially when connected via long traces (>4 inches) to upstream filters or DC/DC converters. Ceramic or low-ESR tantalum types are preferred, mounted directly across pins 1 (Vin) and 2 (GND).
Can MC33275D-3.0R2 be used with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, MC33275D-3.0R2 is stable with ceramic output capacitors of ≥0.33 µF, as confirmed in the Applications Information section. Unlike older LDOs, it does not require ESR-based damping; multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) are explicitly recommended for operation below 25°C and provide superior high-frequency noise filtering compared to tantalum alternatives.
What happens when MC33275D-3.0R2 exceeds its thermal limit?
When MC33275D-3.0R2 junction temperature reaches ~150°C, its thermal shutdown circuit disables the output. Because there is no hysteresis, the output toggles on/off as temperature cycles across the threshold-appearing as oscillation. This protects the die but indicates inadequate PCB copper area or airflow; proper heatsinking or derating is required for continuous operation near thermal limits.
Is MC33275D-3.0R2 pin-compatible with other regulators in the MC33275 family?
Yes, all MC33275 variants-including MC33275D-3.0R2, MC33275D-3.3R2G, and MC33275D-5.0R2G-share identical SOIC-8 pinout and package dimensions (Case 751). Output voltage is set internally; no external resistors are needed. This allows direct voltage-option substitution on the same PCB layout without redesign.
