Product details
Overview
MC33275MN-5.0R2 from onsemi is a fixed-output 5.0 V, 300 mA micropower low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator in a DFN-8 4×4 mm package. It delivers tight line/load regulation (≤10 mV), ultra-low dropout (260 mV at 300 mA), and stable operation with only 0.22 µF output capacitance - ideal for space-constrained battery-powered instrumentation requiring extended runtime.
For engineers reviewing the MC33275MN-5.0R2 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include thermal performance with exposed pad PCB layout, quiescent current behavior under dropout conditions, ripple rejection above 65 dB at 120 Hz, and compatibility with ceramic output capacitors down to 0.22 µF.
Technical Context
This LDO employs a PNP pass transistor architecture enabling low dropout voltage and high PSRR. Its internal thermal shutdown (150°C) and current limiting (450 mA typical) operate independently without hysteresis, ensuring robust fault protection in portable systems.
The device achieves stability with minimal external components: only a 0.22 µF ceramic capacitor required for 5.0 V output, and no ESR constraints. Ground pin current remains below 200 µA across input voltages from VO to 12 V and ambient temperatures from −40°C to +125°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.00 V ±2% over −40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable logic-level supply for microcontrollers and sensors in wide-temperature environments. |
| Max Output Current | 300 mA continuous - supports moderate-power peripherals like displays, ADCs, and RF modules without external boost circuitry. |
| 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 headroom for battery aging. |
| Quiescent Current | 125 µA typical at 0 mA load - extends battery life in always-on monitoring applications such as IoT edge nodes. |
| Ripple Rejection | 65 dB minimum at 120 Hz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding sensitive analog circuits. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C junction temperature - provides fail-safe protection during sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking. |
| Stability Capacitance | 0.22 µF ceramic required for 5.0 V version - reduces BOM count and board area versus traditional LDOs needing ≥1 µF. |
Pinout & Package
MC33275MN-5.0R2 uses the DFN-8 4×4 mm package (Case 488AF) with an exposed thermal pad (Pin 5) for enhanced heat dissipation. The package features 0.8 mm pitch, coplanar terminals, and is Pb-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Input (Vin) | Main power input; accepts 5.5 V to 13 V - must be bypassed with ≥0.33 µF capacitor near pin for transient immunity. |
| 2 | Ground (GND) | Analog ground reference; connects to PCB ground plane - critical for noise-sensitive regulation and thermal conduction via exposed pad. |
| 3 | Output (Vout) | Regulated 5.0 V output; requires 0.22 µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin - determines loop stability and load transient response. |
| 4 | Ground (GND) | Second ground terminal; electrically tied internally to Pin 2 - improves current handling and reduces ground impedance in high-frequency operation. |
| 5 | Exposed Pad | Thermal and electrical ground; soldered to large copper area - lowers RJA to 93°C/W (1.0 oz Cu) and enables 183 mW max power dissipation at TA = 25°C. |
| 6–8 | No Connect (N/C) | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - no routing or soldering required; avoids unintended parasitic coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 25 mV at 10 mA load - preserves regulation even when input drops within 25 mV of output, maximizing usable battery capacity. |
| Tight load regulation | ≤25 mV change from 0 to 250 mA - maintains stable 5.0 V supply across dynamic load profiles in handheld instruments. |
| Low-noise operation | 46 µVRMS (10 Hz–100 kHz) with 200 µF output cap - suitable for powering precision ADCs and audio codecs without additional filtering. |
| Internal protection | Current limit (450 mA) + thermal shutdown (150°C) - eliminates need for external fuses or thermal sensors in compact designs. |
| Pb-free & AEC-Q100 capable | NCV33275 variant qualified for automotive - MC33275MN-5.0R2 shares identical die and package, enabling industrial reuse of qualified designs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NCP1117ST50T3G | SO-8 package, 1.2 V dropout at 1 A, higher IQ (6 mA), requires ≥10 µF output cap | Better for high-current, non-battery apps; unsuitable for ultra-low-power or space-constrained designs | Choose if >300 mA load or existing SO-8 footprint; avoid for battery life-critical or miniaturized systems |
| MCP1700T-5002E/MB | SOT-23-3, 250 mA, 1.8 µA IQ, but 600 mV dropout at 250 mA and 1% initial accuracy only | Optimized for micropower sleep modes, not continuous 300 mA operation | Prefer for <100 µA average current apps; MC33275MN-5.0R2 delivers 3× more current with 50× lower dropout |
Compared with NCP1117ST50T3G and MCP1700T-5002E/MB, MC33275MN-5.0R2 uniquely balances 300 mA capability, 260 mV dropout, and 125 µA quiescent current in a thermally efficient DFN-8 package - making it optimal for mid-power portable electronics where runtime, size, and thermal margin are co-constrained.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for MC33275MN-5.0R2 to maintain regulation?
The MC33275MN-5.0R2 requires an input voltage at least 260 mV above the nominal 5.0 V output to sustain 300 mA load - i.e., Vin ≥ 5.26 V. At lighter loads, dropout falls to 25 mV (Vin ≥ 5.025 V at 10 mA). Below these thresholds, output voltage drops linearly with input.
Can MC33275MN-5.0R2 operate with a 0.1 µF ceramic output capacitor?
No. The MC33275MN-5.0R2 requires a minimum of 0.22 µF ceramic output capacitance for 5.0 V operation to ensure stability across temperature and load. Using 0.1 µF risks oscillation and degraded transient response - confirmed in the datasheet's "External Capacitors" section.
Does MC33275MN-5.0R2 have built-in reverse polarity protection?
No. The MC33275MN-5.0R2 lacks reverse-voltage protection; applying negative voltage to Vin or Vout may damage the device. External protection - such as a series Schottky diode or MOSFET-based circuit - is required in systems prone to battery reversal or hot-swap events.
How does thermal performance of MC33275MN-5.0R2 compare between 1.0 oz and 1.8 oz copper PCB layouts?
With 1.0 oz copper, MC33275MN-5.0R2 has RJA = 93°C/W; with 1.8 oz copper and optimized pad layout, RJA improves to 9.0°C/W. This allows >2× higher power dissipation before thermal shutdown - critical for sustained 300 mA operation in enclosed enclosures.
Is MC33275MN-5.0R2 pin-compatible with other packages in the MC33275 family?
No. MC33275MN-5.0R2 (DFN-8) has a unique 8-pin layout with Pins 6–8 as N/C and Pin 5 as exposed pad. It is not pin-compatible with SOIC-8 (MC33275D-5.0R2G), SOT-223 (MC33275ST-5.0T3G), or DPAK (MC33275DT-5.0RKG) variants - each has distinct pin count, assignment, and thermal pad configuration.
