Product details
Overview
AZ1084CS-1.8TRE1 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 1.8V, 5A low-dropout linear regulator in TO252-2 (3) package, featuring 1.35V typical dropout at full load, on-chip thermal limiting, and ±1% output voltage accuracy over 0°C to +125°C. It delivers stable post-regulation for switching supplies and powers microprocessor cores in embedded systems requiring high-current, low-noise DC rails.
For engineers reviewing the AZ1084CS-1.8TRE1 datasheet, AZ1084CS-1.8TRE1 pinout, AZ1084CS-1.8TRE1 application, or AZ1084CS-1.8TRE1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 5A, thermal shutdown behavior under sustained load, compatibility with ceramic output capacitors, and fixed-voltage stability across temperature and line/load variations.
Technical Context
The AZ1084CS-1.8TRE1 uses a trimmed bandgap reference and internal current-limiting circuitry to maintain regulation under overload conditions. Its architecture integrates fixed resistors for 1.8V output, eliminating external feedback components and reducing PCB footprint versus adjustable variants.
Thermal protection activates when junction temperature exceeds +150°C, and the device operates within 0°C to +125°C junction range. It supports low-ESR ceramic capacitors (10µF–22µF) on input and output, enabling fast transient response without electrolytic bulk capacitance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.8V ±1% (1.764V to 1.836V) at 10mA–5A load, ensuring core logic compliance for 1.8V I/O domains. |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.35V typical at 4.5A, enabling operation from 3.15V input - critical for battery-powered 3.3V rail post-regulation. |
| Output Current | 5A continuous, supporting high-power FPGA I/O banks or multi-core SoC subsystems without external pass devices. |
| Current Limit | 6.5A minimum, providing robust short-circuit protection while allowing brief inrush during power-up sequencing. |
| Line Regulation | ≤6mV over 3.3V–10V input range, minimizing supply-induced noise in sensitive analog or RF subsystems. |
| Load Regulation | ≤20mV from 0mA to 5A, maintaining voltage integrity during dynamic CPU load transitions. |
| PSRR | 72dB at 120Hz, suppressing ripple from upstream switching converters feeding the LDO input. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO252-2 (3), surface-mount, thermally enhanced DPAK variant with exposed drain pad for heatsinking. Pin 1 = INPUT, Pin 2 = OUTPUT, Pin 3 = GND (common for fixed-output version).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (INPUT) | Unregulated Input Supply | Accepts 3.3V–10V input; requires ≥10µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor placed within 5mm for stability. |
| 2 (OUTPUT) | Regulated 1.8V Output | Delivers up to 5A; connects directly to load; requires ≥10µF ceramic output capacitor for transient response. |
| 3 (GND) | Power Ground Reference | Common return path for input/output; must be tied to thermal pad for optimal θJC = 7.36°C/W performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low Dropout Operation | 1.35V typical at 5A enables use with 3.3V input rails where headroom is constrained. |
| Integrated Thermal Protection | Automatic shutdown at TJ > +150°C prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Ceramic Capacitor Compatibility | Stable with 10µF–22µF X5R/X7R ceramics, eliminating need for bulky tantalum or aluminum electrolytics. |
| Fixed 1.8V Output | No external resistors required - reduces BOM count, layout area, and calibration uncertainty. |
| RMS Output Noise | 0.003% of VOUT (≈0.54µV RMS) supports noise-sensitive analog peripherals and PLL power domains. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP1084K-18L-U | Same 1.8V/5A rating but TO220-3 package; higher θJA (50°C/W vs. 100°C/W for TO252); no thermal pad. | Requires external heatsink for >2A continuous; unsuitable for space-constrained SMT designs. | Select only if through-hole mounting and manual heatsink attachment are acceptable. |
| TLV1117-18CDCYR | 1.8V/800mA max; SOIC-8 package; 1.2V dropout at 800mA; lower quiescent current (5mA vs. 10mA). | Cannot support >1A loads; insufficient for microprocessor core rails or high-current I/O modules. | Use only for low-power auxiliary rails where 5A capability is unnecessary. |
Compared with AP1084K-18L-U and TLV1117-18CDCYR, the AZ1084CS-1.8TRE1 uniquely combines 5A output, TO252 thermal efficiency, and fixed 1.8V accuracy in a single SMT package - making it the only viable choice for compact, high-current 1.8V regulation without external thermal management.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for stable 1.8V output at 5A?
The AZ1084CS-1.8TRE1 requires a minimum input voltage of 3.15V to maintain regulation at 5A, based on its 1.35V typical dropout voltage. At 3.3V input, it delivers full 5A with margin; operation below 3.15V risks dropout and unregulated output collapse.
Can this device replace an adjustable AZ1084C-ADJ in an existing design?
No - the AZ1084CS-1.8TRE1 is a fixed-output variant with pins reconfigured for INPUT/OUTPUT/GND; it lacks the ADJ pin and internal resistor divider of the adjustable version. Layout redesign and schematic changes are required for substitution.
Is thermal pad connection to PCB ground required for reliable operation?
Yes - the exposed thermal pad (Pin 3 in TO252-2 (3)) must be soldered to a minimum 100mm² copper pour tied to GND. Without this, θJA rises significantly, causing premature thermal shutdown above ~3A at +70°C ambient.
Does this part support automotive AEC-Q100 qualification?
No - the AZ1084CS-1.8TRE1 is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Diodes offers the AZ1084CD-1.8TRG1 variant with automotive-grade screening and PPAP support; consult Diodes' automotive product definitions for qualification details.
