Product details
Overview
UPC78L05T-2-E1-AZ from Renesas Electronics is a fixed-output +5 V, 100 mA positive voltage regulator in TO-92-3 package, featuring thermal shutdown and short-circuit current limiting. It operates over -40°C to +125°C, with input voltage range of 7 V to 20 V, and typical dropout voltage of 1.7 V at 100 mA - used in low-power microcontroller supply rails, sensor interface circuits, and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the UPC78L05T-2-E1-AZ datasheet, UPC78L05T-2-E1-AZ pinout, UPC78L05T-2-E1-AZ application, or UPC78L05T-2-E1-AZ equivalent, key selection criteria include output tolerance (±4%), load regulation (15 mV), line regulation (30 mV), quiescent current (3.5 mA), and guaranteed operation under automotive-grade temperature stress.
Technical Context
This linear regulator employs PNP pass transistor architecture with internal bandgap reference and error amplifier for stable DC output. It delivers regulated +5 V with no external components required and maintains regulation down to 10 µA load current.
Thermal foldback protection activates at junction temperatures exceeding 150°C, and short-circuit current is internally limited to 120 mA typical. The device meets JEDEC JESD22-A108 reliability standards for temperature cycling and humidity exposure.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar positive fixed-voltage linear regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC78L05ACPRAG (onsemi) | Same +5 V output, but wider input range (7–30 V); higher quiescent current (5.5 mA); TO-92-3 pinout identical | Preferred where input may exceed 20 V (e.g., 24 V industrial buses), but less optimal for battery life | Select when higher input voltage margin is needed and thermal derating above 100 mA is acceptable |
| TL750L05CLPE3 (Texas Instruments) | Same output and package; tighter initial tolerance (±2%); lower dropout (1.4 V); higher cost and longer lead time | Better suited for precision analog systems requiring tighter regulation and lower headroom | Choose when ±2% output accuracy and sub-1.5 V dropout are design-critical, and cost is secondary |
Compared with MC78L05ACPRAG and TL750L05CLPE3, the UPC78L05T-2-E1-AZ offers the best balance of automotive-grade temperature range, proven field reliability in TO-92, and cost-effective sourcing - ideal for volume production where ±4% tolerance and 1.7 V dropout meet system requirements.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the UPC78L05T-2-E1-AZ?
The UPC78L05T-2-E1-AZ has an absolute maximum input voltage of 35 V, but its recommended operating input voltage range is 7 V to 20 V. Exceeding 20 V continuously may reduce reliability and accelerate parametric drift. For designs expecting transient spikes up to 28 V (e.g., automotive load dump), ensure external clamping or filtering is implemented before the UPC78L05T-2-E1-AZ input pin.
Does the UPC78L05T-2-E1-AZ require external capacitors for stability?
Yes, the UPC78L05T-2-E1-AZ requires a minimum 10 µF aluminum or tantalum capacitor on the input and a minimum 1 µF ceramic capacitor on the output for stable operation. These capacitors suppress input ripple and prevent oscillation under dynamic load changes. Omitting either capacitor risks instability, especially at light loads or elevated temperatures.
Is the UPC78L05T-2-E1-AZ qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the UPC78L05T-2-E1-AZ is rated for −40°C to +125°C operation and conforms to Renesas' "Standard" quality grade, which explicitly includes automotive applications such as body control modules and infotainment peripherals. It is not qualified for safety-critical powertrain or ADAS functions, which require "High Quality" or "Specific" grade parts.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the UPC78L05T-2-E1-AZ in TO-92-3 package?
The UPC78L05T-2-E1-AZ has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 200°C/W in standard TO-92-3 mounting on FR-4 PCB with minimal copper. With 1 cm² of 1 oz copper pad connected to the emitter pin, θJA improves to ~120°C/W. Derating is required above 85°C ambient to maintain safe junction temperature below 150°C.
Can the UPC78L05T-2-E1-AZ be used in parallel to increase output current?
No, the UPC78L05T-2-E1-AZ is not designed for parallel operation. Its output voltage tolerance (±4%) and lack of current-sharing features mean paralleling units will cause unequal current distribution and possible thermal runaway. To deliver >100 mA, select a higher-current regulator such as the UPC78M05T or use an external pass transistor with proper biasing.
