Product details
Overview
ZMR330F-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed 3.3 V, low-quiescent-current (120–170 µA) positive voltage regulator in SOT23-3 package, delivering up to 50 mA output current with input voltage range of 5 V to 24 V. It features internal short-circuit protection, thermal shutdown, and unconditionally stable operation without external capacitors - ideal for local low-current power rails in space-constrained consumer electronics.
For engineers reviewing the ZMR330F-7 datasheet, ZMR330F-7 pinout, ZMR330F-7 application, or ZMR330F-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout behavior at temperature extremes, load/line regulation performance (±15 mV), ripple rejection (55 dB @ 120 Hz), and SOT23 thermal derating limits under continuous 50 mA load.
Technical Context
The ZMR330F-7 employs a bandgap-referenced shunt-regulator topology with integrated pass transistor, enabling stable 3.3 V output across –55°C to +125°C junction temperature. Its design eliminates need for external compensation, supporting operation with zero-output-capacitor configurations.
It operates as a three-terminal linear regulator with fixed output, requiring only input and output bypassing per layout guidelines. Input-to-output differential must exceed 1.44 V (typ.) to maintain regulation, and maximum power dissipation is limited to 500 mW at 25°C ambient in SOT23 package.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.3 V ±2.5% (3.217–3.383 V at 25°C, 3.148–3.408 V over full temp/load) |
| Input Voltage Range | 5 V to 24 V - supports wide-input systems like 12 V rail conditioning or battery-backed supplies |
| Max Output Current | 50 mA - sufficient for microcontroller I/O banks or sensor biasing, not main SoC core supply |
| Quiescent Current | 120–170 µA - enables >1-year battery life in always-on IoT sensors with 10 µA sleep modes |
| Ripple Rejection | 55 dB @ 120 Hz - suppresses AC line noise on switched-mode supply outputs feeding analog circuitry |
| Line Regulation | 5–15 mV - ensures <0.5% output shift across full input range, critical for ADC reference stability |
| Load Regulation | 13–30 mV - maintains tight voltage control during digital I/O switching transients |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.44 V (typ. at 50 mA) - defines minimum VIN needed to sustain regulation under full load |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 package (JEDEC TO-236AB), 2.9 mm × 1.3 mm footprint, 1.1 mm height, surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input Supply Terminal | Accepts 5–24 V DC; requires ≥1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed within 3 mm of pin |
| 2 (GND) | Ground Reference | Low-impedance return path for regulator and load; connects to PCB ground plane under package |
| 3 (OUT) | Regulated Output | Delivers stable 3.3 V; may be directly connected to MCU VDD_IO or sensor VCC with ≤100 nF local decoupling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Unconditionally Stable | No external capacitor required - reduces BOM count and PCB area in ultra-compact designs |
| Thermal Shutdown Protection | Activates at TJ ≥125°C - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking |
| Internal Short-Circuit Limit | Clamps output current to safe level (~100 mA peak) - avoids fuse reliance in cost-sensitive consumer products |
| Low-Temp Drift | 0.275–0.700 mV/°C - ensures <15 mV total output variation over –55°C to +125°C operating range |
| Green Compliance | Fully RoHS-compliant, halogen- and antimony-free - meets IPC-1752A material declaration requirements |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-output LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-3302E/TT | Lower quiescent current (1.6 µA), but max 250 mA output; SOT23-5 package with EN pin | Requires enable control logic; better for ultra-low-power sleep modes, less suitable for simple drop-in replacement | Select if system demands sub-µA shutdown current and has GPIO resources for EN control |
| AP2210K-3.3TRG1 | Higher output current (150 mA), 60 µA IQ, but tighter initial tolerance (±1%) and lower dropout (0.45 V @ 150 mA) | Supports higher-current peripherals (e.g., Wi-Fi modules); requires different thermal layout due to higher power handling | Select when driving >50 mA loads or needing tighter initial accuracy without trimming |
Compared with MCP1700T-3302E/TT and AP2210K-3.3TRG1, the ZMR330F-7 offers optimal balance of simplicity (no EN pin), proven stability without external caps, and robust thermal protection - making it preferred for cost-sensitive, space-limited consumer applications where 50 mA and ±2.5% tolerance are sufficient.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for ZMR330F-7 to maintain regulation?
The ZMR330F-7 requires a minimum input voltage of 4.74 V to maintain 3.3 V output regulation under all conditions, as specified in the datasheet. This corresponds to a typical dropout voltage of 1.44 V at 50 mA load. At lighter loads, dropout decreases - e.g., ~0.8 V at 10 mA - allowing operation from lower VIN in low-current applications.
Can ZMR330F-7 operate without an output capacitor?
Yes - the ZMR330F-7 is unconditionally stable and does not require an output capacitor for basic regulation. However, a 1–10 µF ceramic capacitor is recommended at the output to improve transient response and reduce high-frequency noise, especially when powering digital loads with fast switching currents.
Is ZMR330F-7 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes - ZMR330F-7 is fully RoHS-compliant and rated for standard lead-free reflow profiles (J-STD-020D), with peak temperature tolerance up to 260°C for 30 seconds. The SOT23 package uses matte tin plating and meets JEDEC moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1), eliminating bake requirements prior to assembly.
How does thermal derating affect maximum output current at elevated ambient temperatures?
Maximum power dissipation is 500 mW at 25°C ambient and linearly derates to zero at 125°C. At 85°C ambient, allowable power drops to ~300 mW. With 3.3 V output and 24 V input, worst-case dropout power = (24 − 3.3) × IOUT; solving yields ~14.5 mA max continuous current at 85°C - confirming need for thermal design review in enclosed environments.
