Product details
Overview
ZXCL300E5TA from Diodes Incorporated is a 3.0V fixed-output, micropower low-dropout linear regulator in SOT25 (5-pin) package, featuring 85mV dropout at 50mA, 50µA ground current at full 150mA load, and active-high TTL/CMOS-compatible enable control. It delivers stable regulation for battery-powered portable electronics requiring ultra-low quiescent current and no-load stability.
For engineers reviewing the ZXCL300E5TA datasheet, ZXCL300E5TA pinout, ZXCL300E5TA application, or ZXCL300E5TA equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage under load, shutdown current (<1µA), thermal overload protection (125°C trip), output noise performance (50µVRMS), and compatibility with 1µF ceramic output capacitors without external compensation.
Technical Context
The ZXCL300E5TA employs a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling low dropout and minimal ground current across operating conditions-including startup, dropout, and full load. Its bandgap reference and error amplifier deliver ±2% output voltage accuracy over temperature and line/load variations.
It integrates logic-level enable control with 150mV hysteresis, thermal shutdown (125°C activation), and current limiting (160–800mA range). The device operates stably with 1µF ceramic output capacitors (X7R dielectric recommended) and requires no bypass capacitor for low-noise operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.0V ±2% - tightly regulated nominal output for powering 3.3V-tolerant logic rails or analog subsystems |
| Dropout Voltage | 85mV at 50mA - enables operation with VIN as low as 3.085V while maintaining regulation |
| Ground Current | 50µA at 150mA load - minimizes total system power draw in high-current battery modes |
| Shutdown Current | 1µA max - ensures near-zero battery drain during system sleep states |
| Enable Threshold | VENH = 2.2V min, VENL = 0.8V max - compatible with 3.3V and 5V logic without level-shifting |
| PSRR | 70dB @ 1kHz - suppresses supply ripple from noisy DC-DC converters feeding the LDO input |
| Output Noise | 50µVRMS (10Hz–100kHz) - suitable for noise-sensitive analog circuits without external bypass |
Pinout & Package
SOT25 (5-pin) package: 2.8mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm body, gull-wing leads, JEDEC standard footprint compatible with automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input Supply | Primary power input; accepts 2.0V to 5.5V; internal diode anode connects to VO |
| GND | Ground Reference | Power and signal return path; low-impedance connection critical for noise and stability |
| EN | Enable Control | Active-HIGH logic input; drives internal bias circuitry; no clamp diode to VIN |
| N/C | No Connection | Pin 2 is unconnected internally; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout guidelines |
| VO | Regulated Output | Stable 3.0V source; supports 150mA continuous; stable with ≥1µF X7R ceramic capacitor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-load stability | Maintains regulation with zero output current-enables direct use in CMOS RAM backup circuits |
| Ultra-low noise | 50µVRMS without bypass capacitor-eliminates need for secondary filtering in audio/sensor paths |
| Thermal & current protection | Auto-cycling thermal shutdown (125°C) and wide-range current limit (160–800mA)-ensures robustness under fault conditions |
| Capacitor flexibility | Stable with 1µF ceramic (X7R), tantalum, or electrolytic-reduces BOM count and board space vs. legacy LDOs |
| Fast start-up delay control | RC network on EN pin enables precise power sequencing-supports multi-rail system timing 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP2121AK-3.0TRG1 | Same 3.0V output, 150mA rating, and SOT23-5 pinout; lower typical ground current (35µA @ 150mA) but higher dropout (120mV @ 50mA) | Better suited for ultra-low-IQ systems where dropout margin is >120mV; lacks no-load stability guarantee | Select when minimizing quiescent current dominates over dropout or no-load regulation requirements |
| AP7115-30SEG-7 | 3.0V output, 300mA rating, SOT23-5; includes foldback current limiting and tighter initial accuracy (±1%) but higher ground current (120µA @ 150mA) | Preferred for higher-current peripherals or where tighter output tolerance is required; not no-load stable | Choose when driving >150mA loads or needing ±1% output accuracy at expense of higher IQ and no-load instability |
Compared with ZXCL300E5TA, AP2121AK-3.0TRG1 offers lower ground current but sacrifices dropout and no-load stability, while AP7115-30SEG-7 provides higher current and tighter accuracy at the cost of significantly higher quiescent consumption and loss of no-load regulation capability.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for ZXCL300E5TA to maintain 3.0V regulation?
The minimum input voltage is defined by dropout: VIN(min) = VOUT + VDO. At 50mA load, VDO = 85mV, so VIN must exceed 3.085V. Per datasheet Note 2, for reliable operation VIN should be ≥ VOUT + 0.5V = 3.5V to ensure margin across temperature, line, and load variation.
Can ZXCL300E5TA operate without an output capacitor?
No. Although the device is stable with no load, an output capacitor ≥1µF (X7R ceramic recommended) is mandatory for stability across the full 0–150mA load range and to meet transient response and noise specifications. Omitting it risks oscillation and output overshoot.
Is the N/C pin on ZXCL300E5TA electrically isolated or internally connected?
Pin 2 (N/C) is not connected to any internal circuitry. The datasheet explicitly states it "should be left open circuit or connected to pin 3" (GND). It is not a test pad or thermal pad-tying it to GND improves thermal conduction but does not affect electrical function.
Does ZXCL300E5TA support reverse current protection?
No built-in reverse current protection. An internal diode (anode to VO, cathode to VIN) conducts if VO exceeds VIN by >0.6V, allowing up to 5mA continuous reverse current. For applications prone to back-driving (e.g., hot-swap), an external Schottky diode in series with VIN is required.
