Product details
Overview
MC33375ST-3.0T3G from onsemi is a micropower, low-dropout linear voltage regulator delivering a fixed 3.0 V output at up to 300 mA, housed in an SOT-223 package. It features logic-level ON/OFF control, 260 mV dropout at full load, 125 µA quiescent current in active mode, and internal thermal/current limiting-ideal for battery-powered industrial sensors and portable instrumentation requiring stable 3.0 V rail with extended runtime.
For engineers reviewing the MC33375ST-3.0T3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 300 mA, ON/OFF control threshold compatibility, thermal shutdown behavior at 150 °C, and minimum 0.33 µF output capacitance stability requirement for 3.0 V operation.
Technical Context
The MC33375ST-3.0T3G employs a PNP pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout (25 mV at 10 mA; 260 mV at 300 mA) and tight line/load regulation (≤10 mV and ≤25 mV respectively). Its ON/OFF control pin accepts TTL/CMOS-compatible logic levels (VCTRL ≥ 2.4 V for ON; ≤ 0.5 V for OFF), directly disabling the output without external circuitry.
Thermal protection activates at 150 °C junction temperature with no hysteresis, causing output oscillation until cooling occurs. Current limiting caps output at ~450 mA, independent of input voltage, and operates alongside thermal shutdown to prevent device damage under overload or high ambient conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.00 V ±2% over −40 °C to +125 °C - ensures stable MCU core or analog sensor supply across automotive/industrial temperature range. |
| Max Output Current | 300 mA - sufficient to power microcontrollers, ADCs, and RF transceivers in compact embedded systems. |
| Dropout Voltage | 260 mV at 300 mA - enables operation from 3.26 V input, critical for single-cell Li-ion or 3.3 V rail margining. |
| Quiescent Current | 125 µA (ON), 0.3 µA (OFF) - extends battery life in always-on monitoring devices and enables deep-sleep modes. |
| Line Regulation | ≤10 mV (Vin = VO+1 V to 12 V) - maintains output accuracy despite input ripple or battery sag during discharge. |
| Load Regulation | ≤25 mV (0–250 mA) - prevents voltage droop during dynamic load steps in mixed-signal circuits. |
| Ripple Rejection | ≥65 dB at 120 Hz - suppresses AC noise from switching supplies or rectified mains inputs. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-223 (Case 318E), surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 2) for enhanced heat dissipation. Thermal resistance RJA = 245 °C/W (standard PCB), reduced to <100 °C/W with ≥10 mm² copper pour.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Input (Vin) | Unregulated input supply; must be ≥ VO + dropout voltage (≥3.26 V for 300 mA load). |
| 2 | Ground (GND) | Power ground reference; connects to thermal pad for optimal thermal performance. |
| 3 | Output (Vout) | Regulated 3.0 V output; requires ≥0.33 µF ceramic or tantalum capacitor to ground for stability. |
| 4 | ON/OFF Control | Active-high logic input; ≥2.4 V enables regulator, ≤0.5 V disables output (0.3 V max for 1.8 V variant). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Logic-Level ON/OFF Control | Direct interface with 3.3 V or 5 V microcontrollers-no level-shifting required to enable/disable power rail. |
| Stable with 0.33 µF Output Cap | Reduces BOM cost and board space vs. LDOs requiring ≥10 µF; compatible with small-case ceramic capacitors. |
| Internal Thermal Shutdown | Self-protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking-output cycles on/off at 150 °C without latch-up. |
| Low Dropout at Full Load | 260 mV @ 300 mA enables use with marginal input sources (e.g., aging batteries or post-LDO rails). |
| Pb-Free & AEC-Q100 Capable | Meets automotive qualification requirements (NCV variants); ST suffix indicates SOT-223 Pb-free packaging. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| NCP1117ST30T3G | Higher dropout (1.2 V typical at 800 mA), higher IQ (6 mA), SO-8/SOT-223 dual package option | Requires ≥4.2 V input for 300 mA load; less suitable for single-cell Li-ion systems | Select when higher output current (800 mA) is needed and input headroom permits. |
| MCP1700T-3002E/MB | Lower IQ (1.6 µA), lower current (250 mA), SOT-23 package; no ON/OFF pin | Lacks enable control-requires external FET for power gating; limited thermal capability | Choose for ultra-low-power, space-constrained designs where enable functionality is not required. |
Compared with NCP1117ST30T3G and MCP1700T-3002E/MB, the MC33375ST-3.0T3G uniquely balances 300 mA output, 260 mV dropout, 125 µA quiescent current, and integrated ON/OFF control in SOT-223-making it optimal for battery-powered systems needing both efficiency and controllability.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for MC33375ST-3.0T3G to maintain regulation at 300 mA?
The MC33375ST-3.0T3G requires a minimum input voltage of 3.26 V to maintain 3.0 V output regulation at 300 mA load, based on its maximum dropout voltage of 260 mV specified in the datasheet. Below this, output voltage collapses linearly with input reduction. Input must also remain within absolute maximum rating of 13 V.
Does MC33375ST-3.0T3G require an external pull-up resistor on the ON/OFF pin?
Yes, the ON/OFF pin of MC33375ST-3.0T3G must not be left floating. A pull-up resistor (typically 10–100 kΩ) to Vin or system VDD is required to ensure reliable turn-on. The pin draws negligible current (<1 µA), so resistor value has minimal impact on power consumption.
Can MC33375ST-3.0T3G operate stably with a 0.22 µF output capacitor?
No-MC33375ST-3.0T3G requires ≥0.33 µF output capacitance for guaranteed stability per the datasheet. While 0.22 µF may work in some cases, it falls outside the validated range and risks oscillation, especially under load transients or temperature extremes. Use 0.33 µF or larger ceramic/tantalum capacitor.
What happens to the output of MC33375ST-3.0T3G during thermal shutdown?
During thermal shutdown, the MC33375ST-3.0T3G output disables completely (drops near 0 V) when junction temperature reaches ~150 °C. As the die cools, the output re-enables-causing visible oscillation if overload persists. This cycling continues until thermal equilibrium is reached below the threshold, with no hysteresis or latch behavior.
Is MC33375ST-3.0T3G pin-compatible with other SOT-223 LDOs like MIC5205-3.0YM5?
No-MC33375ST-3.0T3G uses Pin 1=Vin, Pin 2=GND, Pin 3=Vout, Pin 4=ON/OFF, whereas MIC5205-3.0YM5 uses Pin 1=GND, Pin 2=Vin, Pin 3=Vout, Pin 4=EN. Pin assignments differ; direct replacement requires PCB redesign. Always verify pinout before substitution.
