Product details
Overview
MC33275MN-5.0R2G from onsemi is a fixed-output 5.0 V, 300 mA micropower low dropout (LDO) voltage regulator in an 8-pin DFN 4×4 mm package. It delivers ultra-low dropout of 25 mV at 10 mA and 260 mV at 300 mA, features ±2% output voltage tolerance over −40°C to +125°C, and operates with input voltages up to 13 V. It is optimized for battery-powered portable instrumentation requiring extended runtime and stable regulation under light-to-full load.
For engineers reviewing the MC33275MN-5.0R2G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include dropout performance at 300 mA, thermal shutdown at 150°C, stability with only 0.22 µF output capacitance, and Pb-free DFN-8 packaging suitable for space-constrained industrial and consumer designs.
Technical Context
The MC33275MN-5.0R2G employs a PNP pass transistor architecture enabling low dropout operation across its full 300 mA load range. Its internal reference is trimmed to 1.23 V, and feedback network sets nominal 5.0 V output with tight line regulation (≤10 mV) and load regulation (≤25 mV).
It integrates thermal shutdown (150°C activation, no hysteresis) and current limiting (450 mA typical), with quiescent current as low as 125 µA in normal operation and 1.5 mA in saturation mode - critical for battery longevity in always-on systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.0 V ±2% over −40°C to +125°C - ensures stable logic supply for microcontrollers and sensors across automotive-grade temperature range. |
| Max Output Current | 300 mA continuous - sufficient to power multiple ICs (e.g., MCU + interface + sensor) from single LDO rail. |
| Dropout Voltage | 260 mV at 300 mA - enables regulation down to VIN = 5.26 V, extending usable battery life in 2-cell Li-ion or 4-cell alkaline systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 125 µA typical at 0 mA load - minimizes standby power loss in battery-backed real-time clocks or IoT edge nodes. |
| Stability Capacitance | 0.22 µF ceramic output capacitor - reduces BOM count and PCB area vs. legacy LDOs requiring ≥1 µF. |
| Ripple Rejection | 65 dB at 120 Hz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding sensitive analog circuitry. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C junction threshold - protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking without external circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
MC33275MN-5.0R2G uses the DFN-8 (4×4 mm, case 488AF) package with exposed thermal pad. Pin 1 is marked by a dot or notch; pins are numbered counter-clockwise from top-left when viewed top-side with marking visible.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VIN | Main input supply connection; accepts up to 13 V DC; requires local 0.33 µF bypass capacitor. |
| 2 | GND | Analog ground reference; must be connected to PCB ground plane beneath exposed pad for thermal and noise performance. |
| 3 | GND | Second ground terminal - improves current handling and reduces ground impedance in high-noise environments. |
| 4 | GND | Third ground terminal - enhances thermal conduction from die to PCB via exposed pad soldering. |
| 5 | N/C | No internal connection - left unconnected; not used for bias or configuration. |
| 6 | VOUT | Regulated 5.0 V output; connects directly to load; requires 0.22 µF ceramic capacitor to GND within 5 mm. |
| 7 | N/C | No internal connection - electrically isolated; no routing or stitching required. |
| 8 | GND | Fourth ground terminal - completes low-inductance return path and supports thermal dissipation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 25 mV at 10 mA load - enables operation with minimal headroom, e.g., powering 5 V logic from partially discharged 2S Li-ion (7.2 V → 5.025 V viable). |
| Micropower quiescent current | 125 µA typical - extends shelf life and operational runtime in coin-cell–powered devices like smoke detectors or asset trackers. |
| Minimal external capacitance | 0.22 µF ceramic output cap - eliminates need for large tantalum or electrolytic capacitors, reducing cost and footprint. |
| Integrated protection | Current limit (450 mA) + thermal shutdown (150°C) - removes requirement for discrete foldback or thermal sensors in compact designs. |
| Pb-free DFN-8 package | 4×4 mm body with exposed thermal pad - supports high-density layouts and provides 9.0°C/W junction-to-air thermal resistance with 1.8 oz copper. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-5002E/MB | 250 mA max output, 1.6 µA IQ, SOT-23-3 package - lower current, ultra-low IQ, but no thermal shutdown or current limit. | Suitable for <100 mA always-on sensors; lacks protection for motor-driven or transient-heavy loads. | Select when IQ < 2 µA is mandatory and load never exceeds 250 mA; verify external protection if driving actuators. |
| NCP1117ST50T3G | 1 A output, 6 mV/mA load regulation, TO-220/SOT-223 - higher current, higher dropout (~1.1 V), no micropower mode. | Better for high-current, non-battery applications (e.g., wall-powered gate drivers); unsuitable for long-life portable use. | Choose when >300 mA is needed and input headroom >1.2 V is available; avoid where battery runtime or space is constrained. |
Compared with MCP1700T-5002E/MB, MC33275MN-5.0R2G offers 20% higher current and integrated protection at modest IQ penalty; versus NCP1117ST50T3G, it trades 700 mV higher dropout for 60% smaller footprint and 5× lower quiescent current - ideal for compact, battery-sensitive designs.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for MC33275MN-5.0R2G to maintain regulation at full 300 mA load?
The MC33275MN-5.0R2G requires a minimum input voltage of 5.26 V to maintain 5.0 V regulation at 300 mA, based on its maximum dropout voltage of 260 mV. Below this, output voltage drops linearly with input; operation below 5.0 V input is not supported. This headroom enables use with aging alkaline or partially discharged Li-ion batteries.
Can MC33275MN-5.0R2G operate with a 0.1 µF ceramic output capacitor?
No - MC33275MN-5.0R2G requires a minimum of 0.22 µF ceramic output capacitance for stability per the datasheet. Using 0.1 µF risks oscillation or poor transient response. The device is optimized for 0.22–10 µF X7R/X5R ceramics; larger values improve noise suppression but do not harm stability.
Does MC33275MN-5.0R2G include reverse polarity or reverse current protection?
No - MC33275MN-5.0R2G does not integrate reverse polarity or reverse current protection. If input can be reversed (e.g., during hot-swap or battery insertion), an external series Schottky diode or ideal diode controller is required to prevent damage or backfeed.
How does thermal shutdown behave in MC33275MN-5.0R2G during sustained overload?
MC33275MN-5.0R2G thermal shutdown activates at ~150°C junction temperature with no hysteresis. During sustained overload, the output toggles on/off as temperature crosses the threshold - appearing as oscillation. This is intentional behavior; proper PCB copper area and airflow must be designed to avoid repeated cycling, as it degrades long-term reliability.
Is MC33275MN-5.0R2G pin-compatible with other MC33275 package variants like SOIC-8 or SOT-223?
No - MC33275MN-5.0R2G (DFN-8) has a unique 8-pin layout incompatible with MC33275D (SOIC-8) or MC33275ST (SOT-223). Pin functions differ: DFN-8 uses four GND pins and two N/C terminals, while SOIC-8 has standard 4-pin linear regulator pinout (VIN, GND, VOUT, N/C). PCB redesign is required for package substitution.
