Product details
Overview
AP1117Y33G-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 3.3V fixed-output, 1A low-dropout linear regulator in SOT89-3 package, featuring 1.4V max dropout at full load, ±2% output voltage accuracy (3.235–3.365V), and guaranteed operation from 0°C to +125°C junction temperature. It delivers stable 3.3V supply for high-speed bus termination, PC peripherals, and VGA card logic rails with input range 4.8–12V.
For engineers reviewing the AP1117Y33G-13 datasheet, AP1117Y33G-13 pinout, AP1117Y33G-13 application, or AP1117Y33G-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 1A, thermal resistance (θJA = 164°C/W in SOT89-3), minimum 4.7µF ceramic output capacitance requirement, and fixed 3.3V output without external feedback resistors.
Technical Context
The AP1117Y33G-13 integrates an internal 1.25V reference, error amplifier, current-limit protection, and thermal shutdown circuitry. Its fixed 3.3V output eliminates external resistor networks, simplifying layout while maintaining regulation across 0–1A load current and 4.8–12V input.
Designed for low-noise, low-ESR capacitor compatibility, it supports MLCC (X7R) and solid tantalum output capacitors with ESR ≤0.5Ω. Fast transient response is enabled by internal compensation optimized for 4.7µF output capacitance.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AP1117Y33G-13 to regulate at 3.3V?
The minimum input voltage is 4.7V - derived from the 1.4V maximum dropout voltage plus the 3.3V nominal output. The datasheet specifies 4.8V minimum for test conditions, but regulation is guaranteed down to VIN = VOUT + 1.4V across temperature and load. Below this, output voltage drops linearly with input.
Can AP1117Y33G-13 be used with ceramic capacitors?
Yes - it is explicitly qualified for MLCC (X7R dielectric) output capacitors of ≥4.7µF with ESR ≤0.5Ω. The device's internal compensation ensures stability with low-ESR ceramics, unlike legacy '1117 regulators that require higher-ESR tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors.
Does AP1117Y33G-13 require an external resistor network for 3.3V output?
No - the "33" suffix indicates fixed 3.3V output mode. Pin 1 (Adj/GND) is internally connected to ground, eliminating external feedback resistors. This simplifies layout, improves accuracy over adjustable versions, and removes resistor tolerance errors from the output voltage.
How does thermal performance differ between SOT89-3 and SOT223 packages for AP1117?
SOT89-3 has θJA = 164°C/W (FR-4, 2oz Cu), while SOT223 achieves 107°C/W under identical conditions. The SOT89-3's smaller pad area limits heat spreading, making it suitable for ≤0.5W continuous dissipation without heatsinking; SOT223 supports up to ~0.8W in the same environment.
