Product details
Overview
AZ1084CS2-3.3TRE1 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 3.3V, 5A low-dropout linear regulator in TO252-2 (3) package with 1.35V typical dropout at full load, thermal shutdown and current limiting, designed for post-regulation of switching supplies and microprocessor core power delivery in desktop PCs and embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the AZ1084CS2-3.3TRE1 datasheet, AZ1084CS2-3.3TRE1 pinout, AZ1084CS2-3.3TRE1 application, or AZ1084CS2-3.3TRE1 equivalent, key selection criteria include output voltage accuracy (±1% over temperature), compatibility with low-ESR ceramic capacitors, junction temperature range (0°C to +125°C), and thermal resistance (θJC = 7.36°C/W).
Technical Context
The AZ1084CS2-3.3TRE1 implements a trimmed bandgap reference with internal resistor divider for fixed 3.3V output, integrated current-limit circuit (6.5A typical), and on-chip thermal limiting that forces shutdown above +150°C junction temperature. It operates with input voltages up to 12V and requires no external components for regulation.
Its architecture supports stable operation with 10µF–22µF ceramic output capacitance, achieves 72dB PSRR at 120Hz under 5A load, and maintains ±0.1% load regulation across 0–5A output current with 3V headroom. Line regulation is specified at ±0.5mV over 4.8V–10V input range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±1% (3.234V–3.366V) at 10mA–5A load and 4.8V–8V input |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.35V typical at 4.5A; enables regulation with only 4.65V input for 3.3V output |
| Output Current | Continuous 5A DC output with internal current limit set to 6.5A typical |
| Thermal Protection | Automatic shutdown at +150°C junction temperature; resumes after cooldown |
| PSRR | 72dB at 120Hz with 25µF tantalum output cap and 5A load |
| Load Regulation | ±7mV (0.2%) from 0mA to 5A load at fixed 3.3V output |
| Operating Junction Temp | 0°C to +125°C continuous operation; absolute max +150°C |
Pinout & Package
AZ1084CS2-3.3TRE1 uses the TO252-2 (3) surface-mount package (also known as DPAK), featuring a thermally enhanced exposed drain pad for PCB heat sinking. Pin 1 is INPUT, Pin 2 is OUTPUT, Pin 3 is GND (not ADJ - fixed version).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (INPUT) | Regulator input supply connection | Accepts 4.8V–12V DC; must be decoupled with ≥10µF ceramic capacitor near pin |
| 2 (OUTPUT) | Regulated 3.3V output node | Delivers up to 5A; requires ≥10µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor directly at pin for stability |
| 3 (GND) | Power ground reference and thermal path | Connected to exposed metal tab; must be soldered to large copper pour for θJA ≤ 100°C/W |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low ESR capacitor support | Stable with 10µF ceramic output cap (no electrolytic required), reducing board area and improving transient response |
| Thermal shutdown recovery | Hysteresis ensures safe restart only after junction cools below +140°C, preventing thermal cycling damage |
| Lead-free & RoHS 3 compliant | Fully compliant with EU Directive 2015/863/EU; <900ppm Br+Cl, <1000ppm Sb; matte tin plating |
| High PSRR at low frequency | 60–72dB rejection of 120Hz ripple from upstream switching converters, critical for noise-sensitive digital loads |
| Trimmed reference accuracy | 1.225V–1.270V internal bandgap reference ensures tight 3.3V output tolerance without external trimming |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 3.3V, 5A LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| APL5302-33BI-TRG1 | Higher dropout (1.6V typ at 5A); lower PSRR (65dB @120Hz); same TO252-3 package | Limited headroom margin in 5V-input systems; less effective ripple suppression | Choose only if cost sensitivity outweighs performance requirements and input voltage >6.9V is guaranteed |
| LD1085V33TR | Wider input range (up to 30V); higher quiescent current (10mA vs 5mA); TO220 package | Requires heatsink above 2A; unsuitable for space-constrained SMT designs | Select when input may exceed 12V or through-hole mounting is mandated; avoid for compact 5A SMT layouts |
Compared with APL5302-33BI-TRG1 and LD1085V33TR, AZ1084CS2-3.3TRE1 delivers superior dropout performance and PSRR in a thermally optimized SMT package, making it optimal for high-density, low-noise 5V-input systems where thermal headroom and ripple rejection are critical.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AZ1084CS2-3.3TRE1 to maintain regulation at 5A?
The minimum input voltage is calculated as VOUT + VDROP = 3.3V + 1.5V = 4.8V (maximum dropout). At 4.5A load, typical dropout is 1.35V, so 4.65V input sustains regulation. Operation below 4.8V risks dropout-induced output collapse under full load.
Can AZ1084CS2-3.3TRE1 be used with 4.7µF ceramic output capacitors?
No - the datasheet specifies minimum 10µF ceramic capacitance for stability. Using 4.7µF risks oscillation or poor transient response due to insufficient phase margin; 22µF is recommended for worst-case 5A step loads.
Does AZ1084CS2-3.3TRE1 require an input bypass capacitor?
Yes - a minimum 10µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor must be placed within 5mm of the INPUT and GND pins. This prevents input rail sag during load transients and ensures stable loop operation; absence causes startup overshoot and potential instability.
Is AZ1084CS2-3.3TRE1 qualified for automotive applications per AEC-Q100?
No - AZ1084CS2-3.3TRE1 is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Diodes offers the pin-compatible AZ1084CQ series (e.g., AZ1084CQ-3.3TRE1) for automotive use, which undergoes extended temperature testing, PPAP documentation, and IATF 16949 manufacturing controls.
