Product details
Overview
ZSR1000GTC from Zetex Semiconductors is a fixed positive 10.0 V linear voltage regulator in SOT223 package, designed for local regulation in space-constrained PCBs. It delivers up to 200 mA output current with ±2.5% initial output voltage tolerance, 350 µA typical quiescent current, and operates across –55°C to +125°C. It is used in industrial control modules where stable low-noise local supply is required near microcontrollers or analog sensors.
For engineers reviewing the ZSR1000GTC datasheet, ZSR1000GTC pinout, ZSR1000GTC application, or ZSR1000GTC equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, thermal behavior, dropout characteristics, ripple rejection (43–57 dB at 120 Hz), and real-world design guidance for high-reliability embedded power rails.
Technical Context
The ZSR1000GTC employs a monolithic bipolar architecture with internal current limiting and thermal shutdown circuitry, eliminating external protection components. Its dropout voltage remains ≤1.7 V at 200 mA load and 25°C, enabling operation from 12 V input while maintaining regulation down to 11.7 V minimum input.
It achieves 10.0 V output stability over full temperature range (–55°C to +125°C) with average temperature coefficient of 0.25 mV/°C and load regulation of 9–30 mV across 1–200 mA. Ripple rejection is specified at 43–57 dB (120 Hz, Vin=13–18 V), supporting noise-sensitive analog subsystems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 9.75–10.25 V (±2.5% initial tolerance at 25°C; 9.6–10.4 V over full load/temperature) |
| Max Output Current | 200 mA (continuous; derated above 25°C ambient per 2 W SOT223 power limit) |
| Quiescent Current | 350–600 µA (enables ultra-low standby power in battery-backed systems) |
| Input Voltage Range | 12–20 V (minimum 11.7 V required to maintain regulation at full load) |
| Ripple Rejection | 43–57 dB at 120 Hz (ensures clean supply for ADC references or op-amp biasing) |
| Operating Temp | –55°C to +125°C (supports extended industrial and automotive under-hood environments) |
| Dropout Voltage | ≤1.7 V at 200 mA (allows use with 12 V nominal rail even under worst-case input sag) |
Pinout & Package
SOT223 package with exposed thermal pad (pin 4); pin 4 must be connected to pin 2 (GND) or left electrically isolated per datasheet top-view diagram. High-power surface-mount construction enables 2 W dissipation on 2-inch² PCB copper area.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input voltage terminal | Accepts 12–20 V DC; requires ≥1 µF input capacitor to prevent overshoot during thermal shutdown recovery |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return for input, output, and internal circuitry; connects to thermal pad (pin 4) for optimal heat transfer |
| 3 (OUT) | Regulated output | Delivers stable 10.0 V; requires ≥10 µF output capacitor for stability and transient response |
| 4 (Thermal Pad) | Thermal interface | Exposed copper pad for PCB thermal conduction; must be soldered to large copper pour or connected to pin 2 for rated power handling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external components required | Fully internally compensated - stable with only input/output capacitors; eliminates BOM cost and layout risk |
| Internal thermal shutdown | Activates at junction temperature >150°C; self-resets after cooling - prevents permanent damage during overload or poor heatsinking |
| Short-circuit current limit | Peak output current limited to ~400 mA (typical at 25°C); protects IC and upstream supply during fault conditions |
| Tight initial voltage tolerance | ±2.5% at 25°C ensures accurate 10.0 V rail without post-production trimming or feedback adjustment |
| Low-output noise | 150 µVrms (10 Hz–10 Hz bandwidth) supports precision analog circuits without additional LDO filtering |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Module | Automotive Body Control Unit |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed positive linear regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM78L10ACZ/NOPB | TO-92 package; higher quiescent current (5.5 mA typ.); ±4% output tolerance; no thermal shutdown | Limited to low-power, non-critical applications; unsuitable for high-temp or fault-prone environments | Select only if TO-92 through-hole mounting is mandatory and thermal robustness is not required. |
| MCP1703T-1002E/MB | SOT-23 package; 250 mA rating; 2 µA quiescent current; ±2% tolerance; requires 1 µF ceramic output cap | Better for ultra-low-power always-on systems but lower PSRR (60 dB @ 120 Hz) and narrower input range (2.3–16 V) | Prefer for battery-powered devices needing sub-µA sleep current; avoid where 12–20 V input or high ripple rejection is critical. |
Compared with LM78L10ACZ/NOPB, ZSR1000GTC offers superior thermal protection and tighter tolerance in surface-mount form; versus MCP1703T-1002E/MB, it trades ultra-low IQ for higher input voltage capability and stronger ripple suppression-making it optimal for industrial 12 V rail regulation.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for ZSR1000GTC to maintain regulation at full 200 mA load?
The minimum input voltage is 11.7 V at 25°C, as specified in the "Vin Input voltage required to maintain regulation" parameter. This value increases with temperature due to thermal derating of power dissipation; at 125°C ambient, the effective minimum rises to approximately 13.5 V to stay within the SOT223's 2 W thermal limit.
Can ZSR1000GTC be used without an input capacitor?
No - an input capacitor of ≥1 µF (preferably ceramic or tantalum) is mandatory. The datasheet explicitly warns that inductive input sources may generate damaging transients during thermal shutdown events; the capacitor clamps these spikes and ensures the 20 V absolute maximum input rating is never exceeded.
Is pin 4 (thermal pad) electrically connected internally in the SOT223 package?
No - pin 4 is an exposed thermal pad with no internal electrical connection. The datasheet states it may be connected to pin 2 (GND) for enhanced thermal performance or left electrically isolated; either configuration is valid, but thermal pad soldering to PCB ground plane is strongly recommended for reliable 200 mA operation.
How does ZSR1000GTC behave under short-circuit conditions?
Under short-circuit, the device activates its internal current limit (~400 mA peak at 25°C) and thermal shutdown (junction >150°C). It cycles on/off autonomously until the fault is removed. During shutdown, input-to-output capacitance can cause voltage overshoot unless a ≥1 µF input capacitor is present - a design requirement explicitly called out in the datasheet.
