KA78R33TSTU is listed in the Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators range at ChipApex. The manufacturer field lists Fairchild Semiconductor. Its product description is LDO REGULATOR POS 3.3V 1A 4PIN(4. Review the specifications below when checking this part for your BOM.
The KA78R33TSTU is a fixed positive low-dropout voltage regulator manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor. It provides a stable 3.3V output with a maximum dropout voltage of 0.5V at full rated current. The device supports an output current of up to 1A and operates within an input voltage range from 4V to 35V. It features internal protections including peak current limiting, thermal shutdown, and safe operating area protection. The component is housed in a TO-220 package and is designed for reliable performance across various electronic equipment applications requiring efficient power regulation.
Verify the manufacturer origin as Fairchild Semiconductor or its successor entities like onsemi, given corporate acquisitions. Confirm the specific suffix 'TSTU' corresponds to the intended TO-220 packaging variant. Check RoHS compliance status as historical data indicates some variants may not be compliant. Ensure the part number matches the exact electrical specifications required for your design, particularly the 3.3V fixed output and 1A current rating.
Select this component when a low dropout characteristic is critical for maintaining regulation near the minimum input voltage. The 0.5V dropout allows for tighter input-output margins compared to standard regulators. Consider the thermal performance in the TO-220 package if high ambient temperatures are expected. Verify that the 1A output current meets the system's peak demand without exceeding the device's safe operating area limits.
This regulator belongs to the KA78R series of low-dropout voltage regulators. Similar parts in this family include the KA78R15TU for 15V output and the KA78RM33R for surface mount applications. The series is characterized by bipolar technology and robust internal protection circuits. These components are widely used in industrial and consumer electronics where reliable, compact power solutions are needed.
Direct substitutes include the KA78R33CTU from onsemi, which shares similar electrical characteristics but may differ in packaging details. Other potential replacements should be verified for matching output voltage, current capacity, and dropout specifications. Always consult the latest datasheets to ensure compatibility with existing circuit designs and thermal requirements.
