Product details
Overview
ZMR330QFTA from Diodes Incorporated is an automotive-grade, fixed-output 3.3V positive voltage regulator in SOT23 (Type DN) package, delivering up to 50mA output current with 3.3V ±2.5% initial accuracy, 120–170µA quiescent current over temperature, and 4.74V minimum input voltage for regulation. It features internal short-circuit current limiting, thermal shutdown, and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification for under-hood automotive point-of-load applications.
For engineers reviewing the ZMR330QFTA datasheet, ZMR330QFTA pinout, ZMR330QFTA application, or ZMR330QFTA equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.3V output tolerance across -40°C to +125°C, low-noise 80µVRMS output (10Hz–10kHz), 55–75dB ripple rejection at 120Hz, and guaranteed stability without external capacitors.
Technical Context
This three-terminal linear regulator operates as a fixed-voltage source with unconditionally stable operation-no external compensation required. Its internal architecture integrates thermal overload protection and current-limiting circuitry that shuts down the device before destructive failure.
The regulator maintains regulation with input voltages as low as 4.74V (for 3.3V output), supports load currents from 0 to 50mA, and exhibits line regulation of ≤15mV and load regulation of ≤50mV across full operating conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.3V ±2.5% (2.36V–3.408V over -40°C to +125°C, IO = 0–50mA) |
| Max Output Current | 50mA continuous-sufficient for microcontroller I/O rails or sensor biasing in automotive modules |
| Quiescent Current | 120–170µA over full temperature range-enables always-on subsystems with minimal battery drain |
| Ripple Rejection | 55–75dB at 120Hz-effectively suppresses alternator ripple in 12V vehicle electrical systems |
| Dropout Voltage | Not explicitly specified, but minimum input = 4.74V implies ~1.44V dropout at 10mA (VIN – VOUT) |
| Output Noise | 80µVRMS (10Hz–10kHz)-low enough for analog sensor signal conditioning without added filtering |
| Thermal Protection | Automatic shutdown above +125°C junction temperature-prevents latch-up or permanent damage during transient overloads |
Pinout & Package
SOT23 (Type DN) surface-mount package: 3-pin, 2.8mm × 2.42mm footprint, 0.95mm pitch, 0.3mm nominal lead length, RoHS-compliant green molding compound.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input voltage supply terminal | Accepts 4.8V–24V DC input; must exceed 4.74V to maintain regulation at all loads/temperatures |
| VOUT | Regulated 3.3V output terminal | Delivers stable 3.3V to downstream logic or analog circuitry; no external capacitor required for stability |
| GND | Ground reference terminal | Common return path for input and output current; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for automotive use from -40°C to +125°C ambient, supporting PPAP documentation |
| Unconditionally stable operation | No external output capacitor needed-reduces BOM count and PCB area in space-constrained modules |
| Internal short-circuit and thermal protection | Self-protecting behavior eliminates need for external fuse or current-sense circuitry |
| Green, halogen- and antimony-free packaging | Meets automotive environmental standards: <900ppm Br, <900ppm Cl, <1000ppm Sb |
| Low ESD sensitivity (HBM 1.5kV) | Robust handling during automated assembly and in-vehicle service without special ESD controls |
Applications
| Body Control Module (BCM) I/O Rail | Automotive Camera Sensor Bias |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Powering CAN transceiver logic interfaces and GPIO expanders in body control units exposed to engine bay temperatures. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fixed 3.3V local power rail regulator providing clean, stable voltage independent of main 12V bus fluctuations. Use Value: Maintains 3.3V within ±2.5% over -40°C to +125°C while drawing only 170µA max-enabling reliable communication during cold cranking and hot soak. | Use Scenario: Supplying bias voltage to CMOS image sensors in rear-view or surround-view camera modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-noise 3.3V analog supply rail decoupled from noisy digital domains. Use Value: 80µVRMS output noise prevents visible banding or fixed-pattern noise in captured video under varying lighting conditions. |
| Instrument Cluster Microcontroller Core | Automotive HVAC Display Backlight Driver |
Use Scenario: Regulating power for ARM Cortex-M0+ MCU cores in digital instrument clusters where firmware must remain responsive during ignition transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary 3.3V supply for processor core and internal peripherals, with fast line/load transient response. Use Value: Line transient response settles within 10µs (±0.4V deviation), preventing brown-out resets during 12V bus dips to 6V. | Use Scenario: Providing regulated 3.3V to LED driver IC logic inputs in climate control panel displays. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Stable logic supply enabling precise PWM dimming control despite wide input voltage swings (9–16V). Use Value: 55–75dB ripple rejection ensures display brightness remains constant even with high alternator ripple at idle or acceleration. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV73333PDBVR | Lower quiescent current (35µA typ), higher PSRR (70dB @ 1kHz), but only AEC-Q200 qualified-not AEC-Q100 Grade 1 | Lacks full automotive qualification for safety-critical ECUs; suitable for infotainment or comfort systems | Select if ultra-low IQ dominates over qualification level and ripple rejection at higher frequencies is needed |
| NCP1117ST33T3G | Higher output current (800mA), wider input range (up to 20V), but 6mA quiescent current and no AEC-Q100 qualification | Designed for industrial/commercial use; not validated for automotive temperature cycling or PPAP | Choose only for non-automotive designs requiring higher current or lower cost-unsuitable for automotive production |
Compared with TLV73333PDBVR and NCP1117ST33T3G, ZMR330QFTA uniquely combines AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, 170µA max IQ, and guaranteed stability without output capacitance-making it the only option qualified for under-hood, safety-relevant point-of-load regulation where qualification traceability and minimal BOM are mandatory.

FAQ
Is ZMR330QFTA pin-compatible with ZMR250QFTA or ZMR500QFTA?
Yes-ZMR330QFTA shares identical SOT23 (Type DN) pinout (VIN-VOUT-GND), same package dimensions, and identical marking layout with ZMR250QFTA and ZMR500QFTA. This enables drop-in replacement across the ZMR family when adjusting output voltage without PCB redesign.
What is the maximum allowable power dissipation at 85°C ambient?
At TA = 85°C, the SOT23 (Type DN) package's 500mW rating at 25°C derates linearly to zero at 125°C, yielding 333mW max. With VO = 3.3V and IO = 50mA, power dissipation is 165mW-well within safe limits even with modest PCB copper area.
Does ZMR330QFTA require an input or output capacitor for stability?
No-ZMR330QFTA is unconditionally stable per datasheet and requires no external capacitors. However, a 1µF ceramic capacitor on VIN improves transient response, and a 1µF ceramic on VOUT reduces output impedance below 100kHz per typical application guidance.
Can ZMR330QFTA operate with input voltage below 4.74V?
No-4.74V is the minimum input voltage required to maintain 3.3V regulation at 10mA. Below this, output voltage drops linearly with input (dropout behavior). For applications with input as low as 4.5V, consider a lower-dropout alternative or verify worst-case load/temperature margin.
