Product details
Overview
MC33761SNT1-029G 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) output noise, 90 mV dropout at 30 mA, and 1.5% output voltage accuracy at 25°C - designed for RF front-ends and portable burst-mode systems.
For engineers reviewing the MC33761SNT1-029G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include low-noise performance without external bypass capacitor, 1.0 V logic-compatible ON/OFF control, fast 40 µs wake-up response, and thermal shutdown protection in space-constrained battery-powered designs.
Technical Context
The MC33761SNT1-029G employs a proprietary PNP pass transistor architecture with integrated load transient improvement circuitry to suppress undershoot during rapid current bursts - critical for TDMA-based RF stages. Its bandgap reference operates without external capacitor, enabling stable 40 µs startup and eliminating ESR dependency on output capacitance.
Static line regulation exceeds −75 dB, and ripple rejection is −70 dB at 1 kHz, ensuring robust immunity against noisy input rails. The device achieves 150 nV/√Hz noise density at 100 Hz while maintaining 1.5% output precision across −40°C to +85°C ambient range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.9 V ±1.5% at 25°C; ±3.0% over full temperature/load range - ensures stable biasing for VCOs and low-voltage analog circuits. |
| Ultra-Low Noise | 40 µVRMS (100 Hz–100 kHz), 150 nV/√Hz @ 100 Hz - eliminates need for external bypass capacitor in noise-sensitive RF supply rails. |
| Dropout Voltage | 90 mV @ 30 mA, 160 mV @ 80 mA - enables operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0 V min) while sustaining full rated output current. |
| ON/OFF Control | 900 mV logic-high threshold, 150 mV logic-low threshold - directly compatible with 1.0 V I/O platforms without level-shifting. |
| Startup Time | 40 µs typical (200 Hz repetitive mode) - supports high-duty-cycle burst applications like GSM/TDMA transceivers. |
| Ripple Rejection | −70 dB @ 1 kHz - attenuates switching regulator coupling and power rail noise before sensitive analog stages. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at 125°C junction temperature - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design in sealed enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
MC33761SNT1-029G is housed in a Pb-free Thin SOT-23-5 (Case 483) package with 0.95 mm profile, optimized for high-density portable PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Vin | Input power supply | Accepts 2.9 V + 1.0 V ≤ Vin ≤ 12 V; supports wide-input battery and post-regulation use cases. |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return path for internal bias, error amplifier, and pass transistor - must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane. |
| 3 - ON/OFF | Logic enable control | CMOS-compatible input; 900 mV high enables regulation, 150 mV low disables output and reduces quiescent current to 0.1 µA. |
| 4 - NC | No-connect terminal | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - no PCB trace or pull-up/down required for pin-to-pin compatibility. |
| 5 - Vout | Regulated output | Delivers 2.9 V ±1.5%; requires ≥1.0 µF ceramic or tantalum output capacitor for stability and transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Load Transient Improvement Architecture | Actively detects output overshoot decay and forces rapid return to steady-state - prevents deep undershoot during consecutive burst loads in TDMA systems. |
| No External Bypass Capacitor Required | Integrated noise suppression enables 40 µVRMS performance without added component count or board area - simplifies layout and reduces BOM cost. |
| Fast Wake-Up Response | 40 µs typical startup time (200 Hz repetitive) - meets tight timing windows in time-division duplexed RF transceivers. |
| 1.0 V Logic-Compatible Enable | 900 mV ON threshold aligns with modern ultra-low-voltage microcontrollers and baseband processors - eliminates level-shifter ICs. |
| Thermal & Current Protection | Internal 125°C thermal shutdown and 100–180 mA current limit - provides fault resilience without external sensing components. |
Applications
| RF VCO Power Supply | TDMA Mobile Transceiver Core |

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, 120 µVRMS noise, 160 mV dropout @ 150 mA, SOT-23-5 | Higher output current but higher noise and slower 100 µs startup - suitable where load current exceeds 80 mA but RF sensitivity is lower. | Select when peak load > 80 mA and 40 µs startup is not required; verify noise impact on downstream analog stages. |
| TPS7A2029PDQNR | 2.9 V, 300 mA, 12 µVRMS noise, 170 mV dropout @ 300 mA, X2SON-4 | Lower noise and higher current, but requires 1.8 V minimum ON/OFF voltage and uses 4-pin package - no NC pin or direct pinout match. | Choose for ultra-low-noise priority and higher current; redesign PCB layout due to different pin count, footprint, and enable voltage. |
Compared with NCP114AMX29TBG and TPS7A2029PDQNR, the MC33761SNT1-029G uniquely balances sub-50 µVRMS noise, 1.0 V logic compatibility, and 40 µs startup in a standard 5-pin SOT-23 - making it optimal for space-constrained, burst-mode RF systems where all three attributes are simultaneously required.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for MC33761SNT1-029G?
The MC33761SNT1-029G supports a maximum input voltage of 12 V, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Operation above this level risks permanent damage. For reliable 2.9 V output regulation, the recommended minimum input is Vout + 1.0 V (i.e., ≥3.9 V), with dropout voltage rising linearly with load current - e.g., 160 mV at 80 mA.
Does MC33761SNT1-029G require an external bypass capacitor for noise reduction?
No, the MC33761SNT1-029G does not require an external bypass capacitor. Its proprietary architecture achieves 40 µVRMS (100 Hz–100 kHz) output noise without one - a key differentiator versus conventional LDOs. This eliminates associated board area, cost, and startup delay, while maintaining stability with only a 1.0 µF output capacitor.
What is the ON/OFF control voltage threshold for MC33761SNT1-029G?
The MC33761SNT1-029G features a 900 mV typical logic-high threshold (ON state) and 150 mV typical logic-low threshold (OFF state) on its ON/OFF pin. This 1.0 V platform compatibility allows direct interfacing with modern low-voltage microcontrollers and baseband ICs without level-shifting circuitry.
How does MC33761SNT1-029G handle fast load transients in burst-mode systems?
The MC33761SNT1-029G incorporates a patented load transient improvement architecture that actively detects output voltage overshoot decay and forces rapid return to regulation - preventing deep undershoot during consecutive current bursts. This is validated in Figures 10–11 of the datasheet and essential for TDMA/GSM transmit slot integrity.
Is MC33761SNT1-029G thermally protected?
Yes, the MC33761SNT1-029G includes internal thermal shutdown that activates at approximately 125°C junction temperature. Once triggered, the device disables output until junction temperature falls below the hysteresis threshold (~15°C below trip point), protecting against sustained overload or inadequate heatsinking in compact enclosures.
