Product details
Overview
UPC29M06HB-AZ from Renesas Electronics is a three-terminal low-dropout positive voltage regulator with PNP output transistor, delivering 0.5 A output current at 6.0 V with typical dropout voltage of 0.5 V. It integrates on-chip over-current, thermal shutdown, and safe operating area protection circuits, and is used in industrial power supplies requiring stable 6 V bias for analog circuitry, microcontroller peripherals, and sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the UPC29M06HB-AZ datasheet, UPC29M06HB-AZ pinout, UPC29M06HB-AZ application, or UPC29M06HB-AZ equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 0.5 A load, thermal resistance (12.5 °C/W junction-to-case), SC-64 package footprint, Pb-free compliance, and guaranteed 6.0 V ±2.4% output accuracy across –30°C to +125°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The UPC29M06HB-AZ employs a PNP pass transistor architecture enabling low dropout operation-unlike conventional NPN-based regulators-reducing power dissipation by up to 40% under identical load conditions. Its internal error amplifier drives the PNP transistor via a dedicated drive circuit, with start-up control and saturation protection ensuring stable turn-on without overshoot.
Protection functions operate independently: thermal shutdown activates above +150°C junction temperature; over-current limit responds within microseconds to short-circuit events; and SOA protection dynamically restricts base drive during high-VCE/high-IC stress. All protections are fully integrated-no external components required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 6.0 V ±2.4% (5.70–6.30 V) over full temperature and load range-ensures reliable biasing of 6 V logic and analog ICs without external trimming. |
| Dropout Voltage | 0.5 V typical at 0.5 A load-enables operation from as low as 7.0 V input, minimizing heat generation and simplifying upstream supply design. |
| Output Current | 0.5 A continuous-supports mid-power analog subsystems such as op-amp rails, ADC references, and MCU I/O banks. |
| Quiescent Current | 2.0–4.0 mA at no load; ≤30 mA at 0.5 A-low standby consumption critical for battery-backed or energy-conscious systems. |
| Thermal Resistance | 12.5 °C/W (junction-to-case)-requires minimal heatsinking when mounted on ≥1 in² copper pour; enables compact PCB layout. |
| Ripple Rejection | 42–58 dB at 120 Hz-suppresses line-frequency noise from unregulated DC inputs, improving signal integrity in sensitive analog stages. |
| Output Noise | 126 µVr.m.s. (10 Hz–100 kHz)-low enough for precision reference buffering and low-noise sensor signal chains. |
Pinout & Package
UPC29M06HB-AZ uses the SC-64 (MP-3) surface-mount package: 4-pin, isolated tab, 7.0 mm × 5.0 mm footprint, with GND connected to both Pin 2 and the exposed metal fin (Pin 4). The package supports wave soldering per WS60-00-1 specification and is Pb-free (AZ suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | INPUT | Unregulated input supply connection; must be ≥7.0 V for regulation, with 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling placed within 2 cm. |
| Pin 2 | GND | Primary ground reference; electrically common with Pin 4 (fin); forms low-inductance return path for output current. |
| Pin 3 | OUTPUT | Regulated 6.0 V output; requires ≥47 µF low-ESR electrolytic capacitor near pin to ensure stability and transient response. |
| Pin 4 | GND (Fin) | Exposed metal thermal pad-must be soldered to ≥1 in² copper pour for thermal performance; not electrically isolated from Pin 2. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low dropout voltage | 0.5 V typ. at 0.5 A enables use with minimal input–output differential-critical for battery-powered or multi-rail systems where headroom is constrained. |
| Integrated SOA protection | Prevents second breakdown of the PNP pass transistor during transient overload or capacitive load switching-eliminates need for external foldback circuitry. |
| Pb-free (AZ) construction | Meets RoHS Directive requirements with Sn100% plating; compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles (IR60-00-3) up to 260°C peak. |
| Thermal shutdown | Automatically disables output above +150°C junction temperature and recovers autonomously upon cooling-prevents permanent damage during sustained overload. |
| Input voltage range | 7.0–16.0 V operation-covers wide industrial input ranges including 9 V, 12 V, and 15 V nominal supplies while maintaining regulation. |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Interface | Microcontroller Power Rail |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-dropout linear regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV76060DBVR | Lower quiescent current (25 µA vs. 2–4 mA), but only 150 mA output; SOT-23-5 package. | Suitable for ultra-low-power sensor nodes-not for 0.5 A loads. | Select UPC29M06HB-AZ when >300 mA continuous current and robust thermal protection are required. |
| LD1117S60TR | Fixed 6.0 V version; 800 mA rating; higher dropout (1.1 V typ. at 800 mA); TO-252 package. | Better current capability but higher power loss; requires larger heatsink at full load. | Choose UPC29M06HB-AZ for lower thermal resistance (12.5 vs. 60 °C/W) and superior dropout in space-constrained designs. |
Compared with TLV76060DBVR and LD1117S60TR, UPC29M06HB-AZ uniquely balances 0.5 A output, 0.5 V dropout, integrated SOA protection, and SC-64 thermal performance-making it optimal for industrial analog power where reliability and thermal margin outweigh ultra-low IQ or maximum current.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for stable regulation with UPC29M06HB-AZ?
The UPC29M06HB-AZ requires a minimum input voltage of 7.0 V to maintain 6.0 V output regulation at full 0.5 A load, based on its 0.5 V typical dropout voltage. Input voltage must remain ≥7.0 V across all operating temperatures and line/load conditions to avoid dropout mode and output sag.
Does UPC29M06HB-AZ require external capacitors, and what values are recommended?
Yes, UPC29M06HB-AZ requires two external capacitors: a minimum 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor (CIN) placed close to the INPUT pin to prevent parasitic oscillation, and a minimum 47 µF low-ESR electrolytic capacitor (COUT) at the OUTPUT pin to ensure stability and improve load transient response. Both must be located within 1–2 cm of their respective pins.
How does the thermal protection in UPC29M06HB-AZ operate during overload?
The UPC29M06HB-AZ incorporates an internal thermal shutdown circuit that disables the output when junction temperature exceeds +150°C. Once the die cools below the hysteresis threshold (~135°C), regulation resumes automatically-no manual reset or external intervention is needed. This protects against permanent damage during sustained overloads or inadequate heatsinking.
Is UPC29M06HB-AZ pin-compatible with other members of the µPC29MxxHB series?
Yes, all µPC29MxxHB variants-including UPC29M06HB-AZ-share identical SC-64 (MP-3) pinout (INPUT-GND-OUTPUT-GND fin), package dimensions, and thermal pad layout. Only the output voltage differs (e.g., UPC29M05HB-AZ = 5.0 V, UPC29M03HB-AZ = 3.0 V), allowing board-level voltage scaling without layout changes.
What is the significance of the "-AZ" suffix in UPC29M06HB-AZ?
The "-AZ" suffix indicates the UPC29M06HB-AZ is a Pb-free product compliant with the EU RoHS Directive, featuring Sn100% plating on external electrodes and no lead content in solderable terminations. It is qualified for lead-free reflow processes (IR60-00-3) with peak temperature up to 260°C and is functionally identical to non-AZ versions.
