Product details
Overview
SA57000-33D,115 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips) is a CapFREE™ 3.3 V, 150 mA low-dropout linear regulator with no external capacitor requirement, 30 µVRMS output noise, 55 mV dropout at 50 mA, thermal warning (127 °C), and shutdown (144 °C). It serves as a compact, low-noise power supply for portable RF and baseband circuits in cellular handsets.
For engineers reviewing the SA57000-33D,115 datasheet, SA57000-33D,115 pinout, SA57000-33D,115 application, or SA57000-33D,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include capacitorless stability, ultra-low noise without bypass caps, logic-controlled enable via PWRON, PWROK status/thermal alert output, and SOT23-5 footprint compatibility in high-density battery-powered designs.
Technical Context
The SA57000-33D,115 integrates bandgap reference, error amplifier, pass transistor, thermal sensor, and dual-threshold comparator driving the PWROK open-drain output. Its CapFREE™ architecture eliminates ESR-dependent stability constraints, enabling direct drive of ceramic loads from 0 to 100 µF.
It features two independent thermal thresholds: 127 °C ±2 °C triggers PWROK low (thermal warning), while 144 °C ±2 °C forces full shutdown with 13 °C hysteresis. The PWRON pin accepts 0.3×VIN to 0.7×VIN logic thresholds for controlled enable/disable with 50 nA shutdown current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output voltage | 3.3 V ±2% over –40 °C to +85 °C; enables stable core/bias rail for 3.3 V logic and RF ICs |
| Dropout voltage | 55 mV @ 50 mA; allows operation down to VIN = 3.355 V, extending battery runtime in single-cell Li-ion systems |
| Output noise | 30 µVRMS (10 Hz–100 kHz); meets stringent noise requirements for RF transceivers and ADC reference supplies |
| Ground current | 85 µA typical @ 1–150 mA load; minimizes quiescent power loss in always-on subsystems |
| Thermal warning | PWROK asserts low at 127 °C ±2 °C; provides early system-level thermal management signal before shutdown |
| Shutdown current | 50 nA typical; supports ultra-low-power deep-sleep modes in portable devices |
| Line regulation | 0.1%/V; maintains tight output accuracy across input voltage sag during battery discharge |
| Load regulation | 0.02%/mA; ensures stable voltage under dynamic load transients up to 150 mA |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23-5 (SO5), plastic small outline, 5-lead, 1.6 mm body width (SOT680-1).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 1) | Input supply connection | Accepts 3.4 V to 5.5 V; no input bypass capacitor required due to internal compensation |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power ground reference | Common return path for all internal circuitry; must be low-impedance for noise control |
| PWRON (Pin 3) | Logic-enable input | Active-HIGH; <0.3×VIN disables regulator with 50 nA quiescent draw; connect to VIN for always-on operation |
| PWROK (Pin 4) | Open-drain status output | Asserts LOW for thermal warning (127 °C) or output undervoltage (>6% drop); requires external pull-up |
| VOUT (Pin 5) | Regulated output | Delivers up to 150 mA; stable with zero external capacitance; supports ceramic, tantalum, or electrolytic loads |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| CapFREE™ architecture | Eliminates need for output capacitor-enables direct connection to load with any ESR, simplifying layout and reducing BOM count |
| Dual thermal monitoring | Separate 127 °C warning and 144 °C shutdown thresholds provide graduated thermal response for system-level fault handling |
| Low-noise regulation | 30 µVRMS output noise without external bypass cap-avoids noise-critical post-regulation filtering in RF sections |
| Logic-controlled enable | PWRON pin supports microcontroller-driven power sequencing with sub-100 nA off-state current |
| Integrated power OK indicator | PWROK combines undervoltage detection and thermal warning into one open-drain signal-reduces GPIO usage on host processor |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-3302E/TT | 300 mA rated, 1.6 µA quiescent current, no thermal warning output, requires 1 µF min output cap | Lacks PWROK thermal alert; better suited for higher-current, lower-quiescent applications without thermal monitoring needs | Select when >150 mA load or ultra-low IQ dominates over thermal visibility |
| TLC7733IP | 3.3 V fixed, 250 mA, includes reset delay timer, 10 µA IQ, requires 2.2 µF output cap, no thermal warning | Provides power-on reset functionality but no thermal monitoring; higher noise (40 µVRMS) | Choose when integrated POR timing is critical and thermal margin is managed externally |
Compared with SA57000-33D,115, MCP1700T-3302E/TT offers higher current and lower IQ but forfeits thermal visibility and capacitorless operation; TLC7733IP adds reset timing but increases noise and capacitor requirements-neither replicates the combined CapFREE™, low-noise, and dual-threshold thermal signaling of SA57000-33D,115.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for SA57000-33D,115 to maintain regulation?
The SA57000-33D,115 requires VIN ≥ VOUT(nom) + dropout voltage. With a typical dropout of 55 mV at 50 mA, the minimum functional input is 3.355 V. At 150 mA, dropout rises to 165 mV, so VIN must be ≥ 3.465 V. The absolute minimum VIN is VOUT(nom) + 0.1 V per datasheet, i.e., 3.4 V, but actual dropout depends on load and temperature. SA57000-33D,115 guarantees regulation down to this margin across its full operating range.
Does SA57000-33D,115 require an output capacitor for stability?
No, SA57000-33D,115 does not require any output capacitor due to its patented CapFREE™ architecture. It remains stable with zero external capacitance and supports all capacitive loads (0–100 µF) regardless of ESR. This eliminates capacitor-related layout constraints and BOM cost. SA57000-33D,115 achieves this via internal compensation optimized for direct load connection-verified across temperature and process corners in the original Philips characterization.
How does the PWROK pin function in SA57000-33D,115?
The PWROK pin on SA57000-33D,115 is an open-drain output that goes LOW under two conditions: (1) output voltage drops >6% below nominal (e.g., <3.10 V for SA57000-33D,115), or (2) die temperature reaches 127 °C ±2 °C (thermal warning). It remains LOW until both conditions clear with 2% hysteresis on voltage and 12 °C on temperature. SA57000-33D,115 uses this single pin to consolidate power integrity and thermal health reporting.
What is the shutdown current of SA57000-33D,115 when PWRON is pulled low?
When the PWRON pin of SA57000-33D,115 is driven below 0.3×VIN (logic LOW), the device enters shutdown mode with a typical supply current of 50 nA at +25 °C and ≤200 nA at +85 °C. This ultra-low shutdown current preserves battery life in standby states. SA57000-33D,115 achieves this via complete internal bias current cutoff-not just pass transistor disable-making it suitable for multi-year battery applications like wearables and remote sensors.
Is SA57000-33D,115 RoHS compliant and lead-free?
SA57000-33D,115 was originally released in 2001 prior to RoHS legislation. While the SOT23-5 package (SOT680-1) used for SA57000-33D,115 is compatible with lead-free reflow profiles, the original manufacturing lot documentation does not carry formal RoHS certification. For new designs requiring compliance, Aetrix Electronics recommends verifying current manufacturing status with NXP or selecting a qualified RoHS-compliant alternative. SA57000-33D,115 remains available as a legacy component with full electrical and thermal specifications unchanged.
