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.

conditions of low dissipation or by using pulse techniques
such that the average chip temperature is not significantly
affected.
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

neglecting the quiescent current, the maximum power
dissipation can be expressed as:
evaluated by deliberately activating the thermal shutdown
of the circuit (by increasing the output current or raising the
input voltage for example).
subtracting the output power from the input power. All
variables are then well known: power dissipation, thermal
shutdown temperature (150°C for MC33375) and ambient
temperature.
Depending on ambient temperature, it is possible to
