MC33275
Low Dropout 300 mA
V oltage Regulator
The MC33275 series are micropower low dropout voltage
regulators available in a wide variety of output voltages as well as
packages, DPAK, SOT–223, and SOP–8 surface mount packages.
These devices feature a very low quiescent current and are capable of
supplying output currents up to 300 mA. Internal current and thermal
limiting protection are provided by the presence of a short circuit at the
output and an internal thermal shutdown circuit.
The MC33275 is available as a MC33375 which includes an On/Off
control.
Due to the low input–to–output voltage differential and bias current
specifications, these devices are ideally suited for battery powered
computer, consumer, and industrial equipment where an extension of
useful battery life is desirable.
Features:
• Low Quiescent Current (125
• Low Input–to–Output Voltage Differential of 25 mV at I
and 260 mV at IO = 300 mA
• Extremely Tight Line and Load Regulation
• Stable with Output Capacitance of only 0.33

NOTE: 1. Low duty pulse techniques are used during test to maintain junction temperature as close to ambient as possible.
NOTE: 2. Quiescent Current is measured where the PNP pass transistor is in saturation. V

DEFINITIONS
Load Regulation – The change in output voltage for a
change in load current at constant chip temperature.
Dropout V oltage – The input/output differential at which
the regulator output no longer maintains regulation against
further reductions in input voltage. Measured when the
output drops 100 mV below its nominal value (which is
measured at 1.0 V differential), dropout voltage is affected
by junction temperature, load current and minimum input
supply requirements.
Output Noise Voltage – The RMS AC voltage at the
output with a constant load and no input ripple, measured
over a specified frequency range.
Maximum Power Dissipation – The maximum total
dissipation for which the regulator will operate within
specifications.
Quiescent Current – Current which is used to operate the
regulator chip and is not delivered to the load.
Line Regulation – The change in output voltage for a
change in the input voltage. The measurement is made under
conditions of low dissipation or by using pulse techniques
such that the average chip temperature is not significantly
affected.
Maximum Package Power Dissipation – The maximum
package power dissipation is the power dissipation level at
which the junction temperature reaches its maximum value
i.e. 150°C. The junction temperature is rising while the
difference between the input power (V
output power (V

Depending on ambient temperature, it is possible to
calculate the maximum power dissipation and so the
maximum current as following:

The maximum operating junction temperature TJ is
specified at 150°C, if TA = 25°C, then PD can be found. By
neglecting the quiescent current, the maximum power
dissipation can be expressed as:

D
VCC–V

The thermal resistance of the whole circuit can be
evaluated by deliberately activating the thermal shutdown
of the circuit (by increasing the output current or raising the
input voltage for example).
Then you can calculate the power dissipation by
subtracting the output power from the input power. All
variables are then well known: power dissipation, thermal
shutdown temperature (150°C for MC33275) and ambient
temperature.
