Product details
Overview
MC33275DT-3.0RK from onsemi is a fixed-output, 3.0 V, 300 mA low-dropout (LDO) linear voltage regulator in DPAK-3 package. It delivers ultra-low dropout (260 mV at 300 mA), tight load regulation (±25 mV), and stable operation with only 0.33 µF output capacitance - ideal for battery-powered handheld instruments requiring extended runtime and low quiescent current (125 µA typical).
For engineers reviewing the MC33275DT-3.0RK datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at full load, thermal shutdown threshold (150°C), input voltage range (up to 13 V), output tolerance (±2% over −40°C to +125°C), and compatibility with low-ESR ceramic capacitors.
Technical Context
The MC33275DT-3.0RK uses a PNP pass transistor architecture enabling low dropout performance without external compensation. Its internal bandgap reference (1.23 V) and feedback network set the precise 3.0 V output, with line regulation of ≤10 mV across 4.0–12 V input range.
Thermal protection activates at 150°C junction temperature with no hysteresis, causing output oscillation until cooling occurs. Current limiting is fixed at 450 mA and operates independently of thermal shutdown - both features are fully integrated and require no external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.0 V ±2% over −40°C to +125°C - ensures stable MCU core or sensor supply under wide ambient and load variation. |
| Max Output Current | 300 mA continuous - supports moderate-power peripherals like LCD drivers or RF front-ends without derating. |
| Dropout Voltage | 260 mV at 300 mA - enables operation down to Vin = 3.26 V, critical for single-cell Li-ion or 3×AA systems near end-of-discharge. |
| Quiescent Current | 125 µA typical at zero load - minimizes standby power loss in always-on battery applications. |
| Ripple Rejection | 65 dB at 120 Hz - suppresses AC ripple from switching pre-regulators or noisy DC sources feeding the LDO. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C junction - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking without external thermal sensors. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5 V to 13 V - accommodates wide-input industrial supplies while maintaining regulation during brownouts. |
Pinout & Package
DPAK-3 (Case 369C) surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad; 6.10 × 6.54 × 2.28 mm footprint, 2.29 mm pitch, Pb-free (RoHS compliant). Thermal resistance: RJA = 92°C/W (with 1.0 oz Cu), RJC = 6.0°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Input (Vin) | Main power input; accepts up to 13 V DC; requires local 0.33 µF bypass capacitor. |
| 2 | Ground (GND) | Power ground reference; must be connected to low-impedance PCB ground plane for stability and thermal conduction. |
| 3 | Output (Vout) | Regulated 3.0 V output; drives load directly; requires 0.33 µF minimum ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| 4 | Exposed Pad | Thermal and electrical ground; soldered to large copper pour for heat dissipation and noise reduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 25 mV at 10 mA load - preserves regulation even when input drops below 3.025 V, extending usable battery life. |
| Stable with minimal capacitance | 0.33 µF ceramic output cap - eliminates need for bulky tantalum or electrolytic capacitors, reducing BOM cost and board area. |
| Integrated protection | Current limit (450 mA) + thermal shutdown (150°C) - prevents damage during short-circuit or overheating without external circuitry. |
| Tight regulation | Line regulation ≤10 mV, load regulation ≤25 mV - maintains consistent voltage across varying input and load conditions for precision analog circuits. |
| Pb-free & automotive-ready | AEC-Q100 qualified variant available (NCV33275); this part meets RoHS and JESD22-A114 reliability standards. |

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 output, higher dropout (1.2 V at full load), SO-8 package, no thermal oscillation behavior. | Better for higher-current loads but unsuitable for ultra-low-Vin battery systems due to 1.2 V dropout. | Select when >300 mA load current is required and input headroom exceeds 1.5 V. |
| MCP1700T-3002E/MB | 250 mA max, 1.6 µA quiescent current, SOT-23 package, no current limit or thermal shutdown. | Superior for ultra-low-power wake-on-event designs but lacks protection for fault-prone environments. | Select only for sub-250 mA, always-off applications where protection is handled externally. |
Compared with NCP1117ST30T3G and MCP1700T-3002E/MB, the MC33275DT-3.0RK uniquely balances 300 mA capability, 260 mV dropout, integrated protection, and DPAK thermal performance - making it optimal for mid-power battery systems needing robustness and efficiency.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for MC33275DT-3.0RK?
The MC33275DT-3.0RK has an absolute maximum input voltage of 13 V DC. Exceeding this value risks permanent damage. For reliable operation, maintain Vin ≤13 V and ensure transient spikes are clamped by external TVS diodes if the source exhibits surge events.
Does MC33275DT-3.0RK require an external capacitor for stability?
Yes - MC33275DT-3.0RK requires a minimum 0.33 µF ceramic output capacitor placed adjacent to the Vout and GND pins. Input bypass (≥0.33 µF) is also recommended when trace length exceeds 4 inches or when fed from a high-impedance source.
What happens when MC33275DT-3.0RK enters thermal shutdown?
When the junction temperature reaches 150°C, MC33275DT-3.0RK disables its output with no hysteresis. The output toggles on/off as temperature cycles above/below threshold - appearing as oscillation. This behavior protects the die but requires adequate PCB copper area or airflow to sustain continuous operation.
Is MC33275DT-3.0RK pin-compatible with other MC33275 variants?
No - MC33275DT-3.0RK (DPAK-3) is not pin-compatible with SOIC-8 (MC33275D-3.0R2G) or SOT-223 (MC33275ST-3.0T3G) variants. Pin count, layout, and thermal pad configuration differ; PCB redesign is required for package substitution.
What is the output voltage tolerance of MC33275DT-3.0RK over temperature?
MC33275DT-3.0RK guarantees ±2% output voltage tolerance over the full operating junction temperature range of −40°C to +125°C. At 25°C, typical tolerance is tighter (±1%), but system-level design must budget for the worst-case ±2% variation.
