Product details
Overview
MC33375D-2.5R2 from onsemi is a micropower, low-dropout linear voltage regulator delivering a fixed 2.5 V output at up to 300 mA, featuring logic-level ON/OFF control, 25 mV dropout at 10 mA load, ±2% output tolerance over −40 °C to +125 °C, and internal thermal/current limiting-designed for battery-powered industrial sensors and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MC33375D-2.5R2 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include dropout performance at light-to-full load, quiescent current in ON/OFF modes (125 µA / 0.3 µA), stability with minimal 0.33 µF output capacitance, and SOIC-8 package thermal characteristics under constrained PCB copper area.
Technical Context
The MC33375D-2.5R2 employs a PNP pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout voltage and micropower operation. Its ON/OFF control pin directly enables/disables regulation without external circuitry, with logic "1" threshold ≥2.4 V and logic "0" threshold ≤0.5 V.
Internal protection includes foldback current limiting (typ. 450 mA) and thermal shutdown at 150 °C with no hysteresis. Output stability is guaranteed with ≥0.33 µF ceramic/tantalum capacitor and supports ripple rejection of 65 dB at 120 Hz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.50 V ±2% over −40 °C to +125 °C - ensures stable MCU core or ADC reference supply across automotive/industrial temperature ranges. |
| Dropout Voltage | 25 mV at 10 mA; 260 mV at 300 mA - enables operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0 V min) or 3.3 V rail with margin. |
| Quiescent Current | 125 µA (ON mode), 0.3 µA (OFF mode) - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes with periodic wake-up cycles. |
| Load Regulation | 5.0 mV max (0–250 mA) - maintains tight voltage accuracy during dynamic load transients in microcontroller peripherals. |
| Line Regulation | 2.0 mV max (VO+1 V to 12 V input) - rejects input ripple from switching pre-regulators or noisy DC sources. |
| Ripple Rejection | 65 dB at 120 Hz - suppresses AC line-derived ripple in offline-powered industrial controllers. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150 °C junction - protects against sustained overload or inadequate heatsinking in enclosed enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
MC33375D-2.5R2 is housed in an SOIC-8 (Case 751) Pb-free package with standard 1.27 mm pitch, 5.0 × 4.0 mm body, and exposed thermal pad not connected internally. Pin 1 is bottom-left corner (marking dot adjacent).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Input (Vin) | Main power input; must be ≥2.525 V for regulation; requires local 0.33 µF bypass capacitor. |
| 2 | Ground (GND) | Analog ground reference; connect to low-impedance PCB ground plane near output capacitor. |
| 3 | Output (Vout) | Regulated 2.5 V supply; connects directly to load; output capacitor (≥0.33 µF) must be placed adjacent. |
| 4 | ON/OFF Control | Active-high enable: ≥2.4 V = ON, ≤0.5 V = OFF; must not float; pull-down resistor recommended. |
| 5 | Ground (GND) | Second ground terminal; electrically tied to Pin 2 internally; improves thermal conduction and noise immunity. |
| 6 | Ground (GND) | Third ground terminal; enhances thermal dissipation and reduces ground bounce under high di/dt loads. |
| 7 | Ground (GND) | Fourth ground terminal; provides additional low-inductance return path for output current. |
| 8 | Input (Vin) | Secondary input connection; internally tied to Pin 1; used for improved current sharing and thermal spreading. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-level ON/OFF control | Direct interface with 3.3 V or 5 V GPIO without level-shifting; eliminates external MOSFET enable circuitry. |
| Stable with 0.33 µF output cap | Reduces BOM count and board space vs. competitors requiring ≥2.2 µF; compatible with small-case X5R/X7R ceramics. |
| Ultra-low OFF-mode IQ (0.3 µA) | Enables >10-year battery life in coin-cell–powered IoT endpoints with 1-minute wake-up intervals. |
| Internal thermal shutdown | Self-protects during solder reflow, short-circuit events, or ambient temperature excursions without external monitoring. |
| ±2% output tolerance over full temp range | Meets precision analog requirements for 12-bit ADC references and op-amp biasing without post-production trimming. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-dropout voltage regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NCP1117ST2.5T3G | Fixed 2.5 V, 1 A output, 1.2 V dropout @ 1 A, SOIC-8, no ON/OFF pin | Higher current capability but lacks enable control; requires external logic for power sequencing | Select when >300 mA load or lower dropout at high current is needed; add discrete MOSFET for enable if required |
| MCP1700T-2502E/MB | 2.5 V, 250 mA, 6 µA IQ (ON), SOT-23-3, no ON/OFF pin, 170 mV dropout @ 250 mA | Ultra-low IQ but no enable; smaller footprint; higher dropout limits low-voltage battery use | Select for space-constrained, ultra-low-power applications where enable functionality is handled externally |
Compared with NCP1117ST2.5T3G and MCP1700T-2502E/MB, MC33375D-2.5R2 uniquely balances micropower operation (0.3 µA OFF), logic-enable capability, and sub-300 mV dropout at full 300 mA load in SOIC-8-making it optimal for battery-gated industrial sensing nodes requiring both low standby and robust active performance.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for MC33375D-2.5R2?
The absolute maximum input voltage for MC33375D-2.5R2 is 13 V DC. Operation above this risks permanent damage. For reliable long-term use, keep input within 2.525 V to 12 V to maintain regulation and avoid excessive power dissipation in the SOIC-8 package.
Does MC33375D-2.5R2 require an external pull-up resistor on the ON/OFF pin?
Yes - the ON/OFF pin of MC33375D-2.5R2 must not be left floating. A 10–100 kΩ pull-up resistor to Vin is recommended to ensure reliable turn-on during power-up. Leaving it unconnected may cause erratic startup or unintended shutdown due to noise coupling.
Can MC33375D-2.5R2 operate stably with a 0.22 µF output capacitor?
No - MC33375D-2.5R2 requires ≥0.33 µF output capacitance for stability with 2.5 V output. A 0.22 µF capacitor is only specified for 5.0 V versions. Using undersized capacitance risks oscillation, especially under load transients or at temperature extremes.
Is MC33375D-2.5R2 pin-compatible with other devices in the MC33375 family?
Yes - all MC33375 D-suffix (SOIC-8) variants share identical pinout and footprint, including MC33375D-3.0G and MC33375D-3.3R2G. Voltage version changes require no PCB redesign, though output capacitor ESR and layout grounding should be verified per load conditions.
What is the thermal resistance (RJA) of MC33375D-2.5R2 in standard SOIC-8 layout?
In a standard JEDEC 2-layer board (1 oz. copper, 100 mm² pad), MC33375D-2.5R2 exhibits RJA ≈ 160 °C/W. With 2 oz. copper and extended thermal pad connections, RJA can improve to ~80 °C/W - critical for sustaining 300 mA at elevated ambient temperatures without thermal shutdown.
