Product details
Overview
MC33275DT-3.0RKG from onsemi is a fixed-output 3.0 V, 300 mA micropower 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 operates across −40°C to +125°C with internal thermal shutdown and current limiting. It is optimized for battery-powered handheld instruments and camcorders requiring extended runtime and stable low-noise supply.
For engineers reviewing the MC33275DT-3.0RKG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at full load, quiescent current (125–200 µA), output stability with ≥0.33 µF ceramic capacitor, thermal resistance (92°C/W junction-to-air), and automotive-grade alternatives for AEC-Q100-compliant designs.
Technical Context
The MC33275DT-3.0RKG employs a PNP pass transistor architecture enabling low dropout operation without external bias rails. Its internal reference (1.23 V) and error amplifier deliver ±2% output tolerance over temperature (−40°C to +125°C) and line/load variations.
It integrates thermal shutdown (trip at 150°C, no hysteresis) and foldback current limiting (typ. 450 mA), with ground pin current rising only to ~6 mA at VIN = 12 V. Ripple rejection exceeds 65 dB at 120 Hz, and output noise is 46 µVrms (10 Hz–100 kHz, CL = 200 µF).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.0 V ±2% over −40°C to +125°C - ensures stable MCU core or sensor rail under wide ambient and load variation. |
| Max Output Current | 300 mA continuous - supports moderate-power microcontrollers, displays, or analog front-ends without external boost. |
| Dropout Voltage | 260 mV at 300 mA - enables operation down to VIN = 3.26 V, critical for single-cell Li-ion or 3.3 V system brownout margin. |
| Quiescent Current | 125–200 µA (ON mode) - extends battery life in always-on or sleep-mode applications like portable medical devices. |
| Line Regulation | ≤10 mV (VIN = VO+1 V to 12 V) - maintains output accuracy despite input ripple or battery sag during pulse loads. |
| Load Regulation | ≤25 mV (0–250 mA) - minimizes voltage shift across dynamic load changes in audio codecs or RF transceivers. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C junction trip - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking without external circuitry. |
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; pins 1–3 are functional, pin 4 is collector/thermal tab (internally connected to GND).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Input (VIN) | Unregulated input supply; must be ≥3.26 V for full 300 mA output; bypass capacitor required within 2 cm. |
| 2 | Ground (GND) | Power and signal reference; connects internally to exposed thermal pad; requires low-impedance PCB copper pour. |
| 3 | Output (VOUT) | Regulated 3.0 V supply; stable with ≥0.33 µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin; ESR <1 Ω recommended. |
| 4 | Thermal Pad / Collector | Internally tied to GND; primary heat path to PCB; must be soldered to ≥1 cm² 2 oz copper area for RJA = 92°C/W rating. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 25 mV at 10 mA load - enables operation from near-dead batteries in emergency lighting or data loggers. |
| Stable with minimal capacitance | 0.33 µF ceramic output cap - reduces BOM count and board space vs. traditional LDOs requiring ≥10 µF tantalum. |
| Low-noise regulation | 46 µVrms output noise (10 Hz–100 kHz) - suitable for precision ADC references or low-phase-noise clock supplies. |
| Integrated protection | Current limit (450 mA typ.) + thermal shutdown (150°C) - eliminates need for external fuses or thermal sensors in cost-sensitive designs. |
| Pb-free & RoHS compliant | "G" suffix indicates lead-free DPAK package - meets global environmental compliance without derating or requalification. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NCV33275DT-3.0RKG | Automotive-grade variant; identical electrical specs but qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C) and PPAP-capable. | Required for OEM automotive cabin modules, ADAS sensors, or infotainment peripherals needing traceable qualification. | Select when automotive qualification, change control, or site-specific manufacturing is mandated - same pinout, thermal profile, and layout. |
| MCP1700-3002E/MB | Microchip 3.0 V LDO; 250 mA max, 1.6 µA IQ, SOT-23 package; higher PSRR (70 dB @ 1 kHz) but lower current and no thermal shutdown. | Suitable for ultra-low-power IoT endpoints (e.g., wireless sensor nodes), not for 300 mA or thermally stressed environments. | Choose only for sub-100 µA systems where size and quiescent current outweigh robustness needs - not a direct replacement due to current and protection gaps. |
Compared with NCV33275DT-3.0RKG, the MC33275DT-3.0RKG lacks automotive qualification but matches all electrical and thermal specs for industrial prototypes; versus MCP1700-3002E/MB, it delivers 20% higher current and integrated thermal/current protection at the cost of higher IQ - critical for ruggedized portable equipment.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for MC33275DT-3.0RKG to maintain regulation at 300 mA?
The MC33275DT-3.0RKG requires a minimum input voltage of 3.26 V to sustain 3.0 V output at 300 mA load, based on its maximum dropout voltage of 260 mV. Below this, output voltage drops linearly; design margin should include worst-case temperature and tolerance - e.g., use VIN ≥ 3.35 V for reliable operation across −40°C to +125°C.
Can MC33275DT-3.0RKG operate with a 0.22 µF output capacitor?
No - MC33275DT-3.0RKG requires ≥0.33 µF for 3.0 V output stability per the datasheet. While 5.0 V versions accept 0.22 µF, the 3.0 V variant mandates 0.33 µF minimum (aluminum, tantalum, or multilayer ceramic). Using 0.22 µF risks oscillation or poor transient response, especially with loads >100 mA.
Is the thermal pad of MC33275DT-3.0RKG electrically isolated?
No - the exposed thermal pad (pin 4) of MC33275DT-3.0RKG is internally connected to GND. It must be soldered to a PCB copper pour tied to the system ground plane to achieve the specified 92°C/W junction-to-air thermal resistance. Floating or insulated mounting degrades thermal performance and risks thermal shutdown.
Does MC33275DT-3.0RKG support reverse polarity protection?
No - MC33275DT-3.0RKG has no built-in reverse-voltage protection. Applying negative voltage to VIN or VOUT can damage the device. External protection (e.g., series Schottky diode on input or MOSFET-based ideal diode) is required in systems prone to battery misinsertion or back-driving.
How does the thermal shutdown behavior of MC33275DT-3.0RKG affect system operation?
MC33275DT-3.0RKG thermal shutdown activates at ~150°C with no hysteresis, causing output to toggle on/off as junction temperature crosses threshold - appearing as output oscillation. This protects the die but may disrupt connected logic; proper heatsinking (≥1 cm² 2 oz copper) and load derating above 85°C ambient are essential to avoid cycling.
