Product details
Overview
UPC78L10T-E2-AZ from Renesas Electronics is a fixed-output +10 V, 100 mA positive voltage regulator in TO-92-3 package, featuring thermal shutdown and overcurrent protection, used in low-power analog sensor interfaces and microcontroller power rails.
For engineers reviewing the UPC78L10T-E2-AZ datasheet, UPC78L10T-E2-AZ pinout, UPC78L10T-E2-AZ application, or UPC78L10T-E2-AZ equivalent, key selection criteria include output voltage tolerance (±4%), dropout voltage (1.7 V at 100 mA), thermal shutdown threshold (150 °C), and guaranteed operation from −40 °C to +125 °C ambient.
Technical Context
This three-terminal linear regulator delivers stable +10 V output with internal current limiting and thermal foldback. It operates without external components and maintains regulation down to 11.7 V input (VOUT + VDROP) under full load.
The device uses a PNP pass transistor architecture with bandgap reference and error amplifier, enabling low quiescent current (3.5 mA typical) and high line regulation (0.03 %/V). Output voltage accuracy is specified over temperature and load, with no minimum load requirement.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | +10 V ±4 % (guaranteed across −40 °C to +125 °C and 5 mA–100 mA load) |
| Maximum Output Current | 100 mA (with adequate heatsinking; derates above 25 °C ambient) |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.7 V at 100 mA (enables operation from 11.7 V min input) |
| Quiescent Current | 3.5 mA typical (low standby power for battery-backed systems) |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C (suitable for industrial and automotive under-hood environments) |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activated at junction temperature ≥150 °C (protects against sustained overload) |
| Line Regulation | 0.03 %/V (stable output despite input rail variation) |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-92-3 (JEDEC TO-226AA), through-hole, epoxy-molded plastic case with standard lead form.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Emitter) | Input | Unregulated DC input supply; must be ≥11.7 V for full-load regulation |
| 2 (Base) | Ground | Common reference for input, output, and feedback; connects to system GND plane |
| 3 (Collector) | Output | Regulated +10 V output; requires 0.33 µF ceramic bypass capacitor at pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed +10 V Output | No external resistors required; eliminates trimming and reduces BOM count |
| Thermal Shutdown Protection | Automatic recovery after cooldown; prevents permanent damage during fault conditions |
| Internal Current Limiting | Peak short-circuit current limited to ~200 mA; avoids fuse or PCB trace failure |
| No Minimum Load Requirement | Stable regulation down to 0 mA load; supports intermittent-sleep MCU applications |
| Low Quiescent Current | 3.5 mA typical enables >1-year battery life in 10 µA sleep-current sensor nodes |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning | Microcontroller Power Supply |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Powering op-amps and ADC references in 4–20 mA loop-powered transmitters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary +10 V bias rail generator for precision analog front-ends. Use Value: Tight output tolerance (±4 %) and low drift ensure <0.1 % gain error in calibrated sensor outputs. | Use Scenario: Supplying 8-bit MCUs (e.g., RL78/L12) in smart metering endpoints. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standby and active-mode VDD source with fast transient response. Use Value: 1.7 V dropout allows direct use of 12 V battery or rectified AC without extra buck stage. |
| Automotive Body Control Module | Portable Test Equipment |
Use Scenario: Powering LIN transceivers and small solenoid drivers in door modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Local +10 V rail isolated from noisy main 12 V bus. Use Value: −40 °C to +125 °C rating meets AEC-Q100 Grade 2 requirements without derating. | Use Scenario: Benchtop multimeter reference supply and display backlight driver bias. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-noise, stable auxiliary voltage source for measurement circuitry. Use Value: 0.03 %/V line regulation minimizes reading drift during AC adapter voltage sag. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar positive fixed-voltage regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM78L10ACZ/NOPB | Same +10 V output, but higher dropout (2.0 V), wider output tolerance (±5 %), and lower max junction temp (125 °C) | Not rated for >125 °C ambient; unsuitable for under-hood use without derating | Select if cost-sensitive and operating below 85 °C ambient |
| MC78L10CPG | Identical electrical specs, but TO-92 package marked "MC" instead of "UPC"; same Renesas die | No functional difference; identical pinout and thermal performance | Select for dual-source procurement where second-source validation is required |
Compared with LM78L10ACZ/NOPB, UPC78L10T-E2-AZ offers tighter output tolerance and higher temperature capability; compared with MC78L10CPG, it shares identical silicon but differs only in part marking and tape/reel packaging (E2-AZ = 2 kpcs per reel).

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for UPC78L10T-E2-AZ?
The absolute maximum input voltage for UPC78L10T-E2-AZ is 35 V DC. Operation above this level risks permanent damage to the internal pass transistor. For reliable long-term use, Renesas recommends limiting input to ≤30 V, especially at elevated ambient temperatures where thermal stress increases.
Does UPC78L10T-E2-AZ require an input or output capacitor for stability?
UPC78L10T-E2-AZ requires a 0.33 µF ceramic capacitor on the input and a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor on the output for stability across all operating conditions. Omitting either capacitor may cause oscillation or poor transient response, particularly under dynamic load changes.
Is UPC78L10T-E2-AZ RoHS compliant?
Yes, UPC78L10T-E2-AZ is RoHS compliant and lead-free per EU Directive 2011/65/EU. The TO-92-3 package uses matte tin plating, and all materials meet Renesas' environmental specifications as documented in their official product change notices.
Can UPC78L10T-E2-AZ be used in automotive applications?
Yes, UPC78L10T-E2-AZ is qualified for automotive body electronics per Renesas' Standard quality grade and operates reliably from −40 °C to +125 °C. It is commonly deployed in door modules and lighting controllers, though not certified to AEC-Q100 as a standalone part.
What is the typical dropout voltage of UPC78L10T-E2-AZ at 50 mA load?
The typical dropout voltage of UPC78L10T-E2-AZ at 50 mA load is 1.3 V, measured at 25 °C ambient. This value increases slightly with temperature and decreases marginally at lighter loads, enabling efficient operation from 11.3 V input sources in mid-load scenarios.
