Product details
Overview
MC33761SNT1-029 from onsemi is a 2.9 V, 80 mA ultra-low-noise LDO regulator in Thin SOT-23-5 package, featuring 40 µVRMS (100 Hz–100 kHz) noise, 90 mV dropout at 30 mA, and 1.0 V ON/OFF control logic-designed for RF front-ends, TDMA burst systems, and battery-powered instrumentation where supply rail purity and fast wake-up are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MC33761SNT1-029 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include output noise density (150 nV/√Hz @ 100 Hz), thermal shutdown threshold (125°C), load transient improvement architecture, and compatibility with 1.0 µF ceramic output capacitors without ESR constraints.
Technical Context
The MC33761SNT1-029 employs a PNP pass transistor with proprietary load transient improvement circuitry that actively detects output overshoot decay and forces rapid return to regulation-eliminating deep undershoots during rapid current bursts typical in TDMA or pulsed RF systems. Its bandgap reference operates without external bypass capacitor, enabling 40 µs typical startup time.
Static line regulation exceeds −75 dB, and ripple rejection is 70 dB @ 1.0 kHz. The 1.0 V-compatible ON/OFF input accepts 900 mV logic high and 150 mV logic low, with 250 kΩ input resistance-enabling direct interface to 1.0 V I/O domains without level-shifting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.9 V ±1.5% @ 25°C; ±3.0% over −40°C to +85°C-ensures stable bias for VCOs and low-voltage analog stages. |
| Noise Performance | 150 nV/√Hz @ 100 Hz; 40 µVRMS (100 Hz–100 kHz)-meets stringent spectral purity requirements for RF signal chains. |
| Dropout Voltage | 90 mV @ 30 mA; 160 mV @ 80 mA-supports operation with minimal headroom, e.g., 3.0 V input for 2.9 V output. |
| ON/OFF Control | 900 mV logic high enables; 150 mV logic low disables-directly compatible with 1.0 V platform GPIOs. |
| Startup Time | 40 µs typical (200 Hz repetitive mode)-enables rapid power cycling in burst-mode communication systems. |
| Ripple Rejection | 70 dB @ 1.0 kHz-suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding the LDO. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at 125°C junction temperature-protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
MC33761SNT1-029 is housed in a Pb-free Thin SOT-23-5 (Case 483) package with 0.95 mm maximum height, optimized for space-constrained portable designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Vin | Input power supply | Accepts up to 12 V input; requires 1.0 µF input decoupling capacitor placed close to pin. |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | IC substrate and feedback reference node; must be connected to low-impedance system ground plane. |
| 3 - ON/OFF | Enable/disable control | CMOS-compatible input; 900 mV min high to enable, 150 mV max low to disable; 250 kΩ internal pull-down not present. |
| 4 - NC | No-connect terminal | Internally unconnected; must remain floating-no PCB trace or solder mask required. |
| 5 - Vout | Regulated output | Delivers 2.9 V; requires 1.0 µF minimum ceramic or tantalum output capacitor for stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low noise architecture | Eliminates need for external bypass capacitor while maintaining 40 µVRMS noise-reducing BOM count and board area. |
| Load transient improvement | Actively suppresses undershoot during rapid load reappearance after zero-current decay-critical for TDMA and pulsed RF applications. |
| 1.0 V logic-compatible enable | Operates directly from 1.0 V domain outputs without level shifters-simplifies integration with modern low-voltage microcontrollers. |
| ESR-insensitive output stability | Stable with 1.0 µF ceramic capacitors having ESR from <1 mΩ to 3 Ω-enables use of low-cost, small-footprint MLCCs. |
| Fast wake-up response | 40 µs typical turn-on delay enables efficient duty-cycled power management in battery-operated devices. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NCP114AMX29TBG | 2.9 V, 150 mA, 30 µVRMS noise, 160 mV dropout @ 150 mA; requires 2.2 µF output cap; 1.2 V enable threshold. | Better noise but higher dropout and stricter enable voltage-requires level-shifter for 1.0 V systems. | Select when lower noise is prioritized and 1.2 V enable is available; avoid if 1.0 V logic interface is mandatory. |
| MCP1826-2902E/DB | 2.9 V, 1 A, 45 µVRMS noise, 340 mV dropout @ 1 A; 1.2 V enable; SOT-223 package. | Higher current capability but larger footprint and slower transient response-suited for non-burst, higher-load applications. | Select when >80 mA output is needed and board space permits SOT-223; avoid for space- or noise-critical RF layouts. |
Compared with NCP114AMX29TBG and MCP1826-2902E/DB, the MC33761SNT1-029 uniquely combines 1.0 V enable compatibility, 40 µs startup, and 40 µVRMS noise in a 5-pin SOT-23-making it optimal for compact, burst-mode, RF-sensitive systems where all three attributes are simultaneously required.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the MC33761SNT1-029?
The MC33761SNT1-029 supports a maximum input voltage of 12 V on the Vin pin, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Operation above this voltage risks permanent damage. For reliable long-term performance at elevated ambient temperatures, derating is recommended-e.g., limiting Vin to ≤8.3 V when delivering 80 mA at 25°C, based on thermal dissipation limits.
Does the MC33761SNT1-029 require an external bypass capacitor for noise reduction?
No, the MC33761SNT1-029 does not require an external bypass capacitor. Its proprietary ultra-low-noise architecture achieves 40 µVRMS (100 Hz–100 kHz) without one-unlike conventional LDOs. This eliminates associated board space, cost, and startup delay, while enabling the 40 µs typical wake-up time. Adding a bypass capacitor is unnecessary and may degrade transient response.
What output capacitor value and type are recommended for stable operation of the MC33761SNT1-029?
The MC33761SNT1-029 requires a minimum 1.0 µF output capacitor, and is stable with ceramic (MLCC) or tantalum types across a wide ESR range (1 mΩ to 3 Ω). Unlike many LDOs, it imposes no minimum ESR requirement-allowing use of low-ESR ceramic capacitors without risk of oscillation. Placement within 2 mm of the Vout and GND pins is recommended for optimal high-frequency PSRR.
How does the load transient improvement feature of the MC33761SNT1-029 benefit TDMA applications?
The MC33761SNT1-029's load transient improvement circuitry detects output voltage overshoot decay and forces rapid return to regulation-preventing deep undershoot when load current reappears after zero-current periods. In TDMA systems, this eliminates voltage droop during slot transitions, ensuring uninterrupted RF stage bias and preventing bit errors or PLL unlock events caused by supply sag.
What is the quiescent current of the MC33761SNT1-029 in ON and OFF states?
In the ON state, the MC33761SNT1-029 draws 180 µA typical quiescent current (IQON) with no load; in OFF state, it consumes only 0.1–2.0 µA (IQOFF). This ultra-low OFF-state current significantly extends battery life in intermittently powered systems, while the low ON-state IQ minimizes wasted power in always-on subsystems such as real-time clocks or sensor bias rails.
