Product details
Overview
MC7805CDTRK from onsemi is a fixed-output +5.0 V, 1.0 A linear voltage regulator in DPAK-3 surface-mount package, featuring internal thermal shutdown, short-circuit current limiting, and safe-area compensation. It delivers stable 5 V power for microcontroller logic rails, sensor interfaces, and industrial control modules with input voltage range of 7.0–20 V DC.
For engineers reviewing the MC7805CDTRK datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include dropout voltage (2.0 V at 1.0 A), output voltage tolerance (±2% at 25°C), ripple rejection (62–83 dB at 120 Hz), and thermal performance under sustained load with heatsinking.
Technical Context
The MC7805CDTRK implements a monolithic series-pass transistor architecture with built-in protection circuitry including foldback current limiting and junction temperature sensing. Its internal safe-area compensation dynamically reduces short-circuit current as pass transistor VCE increases, preventing second breakdown during fault conditions.
It operates without external components for basic regulation but requires input bypassing (≥0.33 µF) when located remotely from bulk capacitance. Output capacitance is not required for stability but improves transient response-values below 0.1 µF may cause instability per datasheet guidance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.0 V ±2% at 25°C; maintains 4.75–5.25 V across 5 mA–1.0 A load and 7.0–20 V input |
| Maximum Output Current | 1.0 A continuous; peak up to 2.2 A for short durations with adequate heatsinking |
| Dropout Voltage | 2.0 V at 1.0 A and 25°C; defines minimum headroom needed between input and regulated output |
| Ripple Rejection | 62–83 dB at 120 Hz; suppresses AC line noise and switching supply ripple on input rail |
| Quiescent Current | 3.2–6.5 mA typical; low bias draw enables efficient operation in always-on subsystems |
| Thermal Shutdown Threshold | 150°C junction temperature; automatically disables output to prevent permanent damage |
| Output Noise | 10 µV/V RMS (10 Hz–100 kHz); low-noise performance suitable for analog sensor front-ends |
Pinout & Package
MC7805CDTRK uses the DPAK-3 (TO-252-3) surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad connected to Pin 2 (Ground). The package supports moderate power dissipation with PCB copper area acting as heatsink.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Input | Unregulated DC input (7.0–20 V); must be ≥2.0 V above output to maintain regulation |
| 2 | Ground | Common reference for input and output; also connects to exposed thermal pad for heat transfer |
| 3 | Output | Stable +5.0 V regulated output; referenced to Pin 2; requires no output capacitor for stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external components required | Enables compact, low-BOM designs for point-of-load regulation without feedback resistors or compensation networks |
| Internal thermal overload protection | Automatically disables output above 150°C junction temperature, enabling robust operation in sealed enclosures |
| Internal short-circuit current limiting | Prevents destructive current flow during output faults; limits to ~0.6 A at 25°C (MC7805C variant) |
| Safe-area compensated output transistor | Reduces short-circuit current as VCE rises, protecting against second breakdown during overvoltage transients |
| 1.5–4% output voltage tolerance options | MC7805CDTRK is the ±2% grade, balancing cost and precision for general-purpose digital logic supply |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-output linear regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM7805CDT/NOPB | TI part with identical pinout and 5 V output, but ±2% tolerance only at 25°C; wider load regulation (±100 mV vs ±25 mV for MC7805CDTRK at 1.0 A) | Less precise under full-load and temperature variation; lower ripple rejection (55 dB typical vs 62–83 dB) | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs regulation tightness and noise performance |
| NCV7805BDTRKG | onsemi automotive-grade variant with AEC-Q100 qualification, ±1.5% tolerance, and extended temp range (−40°C to +150°C) | Validated for under-hood and safety-critical systems; higher cost and longer lead times | Select for automotive production where PPAP and qualification documentation are mandatory |
Compared with LM7805CDT/NOPB, MC7805CDTRK offers tighter load regulation and superior ripple rejection; compared with NCV7805BDTRKG, it trades automotive qualification for lower cost and standard industrial temperature range (0°C to +125°C).

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for MC7805CDTRK?
The absolute maximum input voltage for MC7805CDTRK is 35 V DC, but continuous operation is limited to 20 V DC per the recommended operating conditions table. Exceeding 20 V increases power dissipation and thermal stress-especially at full 1.0 A load-so design margins should keep input ≤18 V for reliable long-term operation. The device's 2.0 V dropout means 7.0 V minimum input is required to sustain 5.0 V output.
Does MC7805CDTRK require an input capacitor?
Yes-MC7805CDTRK requires a minimum 0.33 µF input bypass capacitor (tantalum, ceramic, or film) placed as close as possible to Pins 1 and 2. This is mandatory when the regulator is located more than a few inches from bulk input capacitance or when feeding high-dynamic loads. The capacitor stabilizes the input impedance and prevents oscillation due to source inductance; omitting it risks instability or erratic regulation under transient load changes.
Can MC7805CDTRK be used in adjustable-voltage configurations?
Yes-MC7805CDTRK can be configured as an adjustable regulator using external resistors and a Zener diode per Figure 10 in the datasheet, though this deviates from its intended fixed-output role. The internal 5 V reference remains active, so output voltage becomes VOUT = 5 V × (1 + R1/R2) + IADJ × R2. However, regulation accuracy, line/load performance, and thermal behavior differ significantly from dedicated adjustable regulators like LM317, and such use is not production-recommended.
What is the thermal resistance of MC7805CDTRK in DPAK-3 package?
MC7805CDTRK in DPAK-3 (DT suffix) has a junction-to-case thermal resistance (RθJC) of 5.0°C/W and a junction-to-ambient resistance (RθJA) of 65°C/W with standard JEDEC 2-layer PCB layout (1 in² copper pad). Effective thermal performance depends heavily on PCB copper area and airflow; adding thermal vias under the exposed pad reduces RθJA by ~10–15°C/W. At 1.0 A and 12 V input, power dissipation is ~7 W-requiring careful thermal design to stay below 150°C junction limit.
Is MC7805CDTRK RoHS and REACH compliant?
Yes-MC7805CDTRK is a Pb-free device compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006. The "Pb-Free" marking is confirmed in the datasheet's features section and ordering information. All onsemi commercial-grade MC7800 series parts shipped since 2006 meet these environmental standards, and material declarations are available via onsemi's compliance portal using the full part number MC7805CDTRK.
