Product details
Overview
AZ1084D-2.5TRE1 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 2.5V, 5A low dropout linear regulator in TO-252-2 (3) package with 1.3V typical dropout at full load, on-chip thermal limiting, and ±1% output voltage accuracy over 0°C to +125°C junction temperature. It delivers stable microprocessor core supply in embedded systems where input-to-output differential is constrained.
For engineers reviewing the AZ1084D-2.5TRE1 datasheet, AZ1084D-2.5TRE1 pinout, AZ1084D-2.5TRE1 application, or AZ1084D-2.5TRE1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 5A, thermal resistance (θJA = 100°C/W), load regulation (±15mV), and compatibility with standard PCB pad layouts for TO-252-2 (3).
Technical Context
The AZ1084D-2.5TRE1 implements a trimmed band-gap reference with internal resistor divider for fixed 2.5V output, eliminating external feedback components. Its current-limiting circuit triggers at 6.5A and integrates thermal shutdown that activates above +150°C junction temperature.
It operates across 4.0V to 7.0V input range with line regulation of ±0.5mV and load regulation of ±15mV under full 5A load. The device supports high PSRR (72dB at 120Hz) and exhibits 0.003% RMS output noise (10Hz–10kHz), critical for noise-sensitive analog and digital loads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.5V ±1% (guaranteed over 0–125°C, 10mA–5A load) |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.3V typical at 5A (enables operation with only 3.8V input for 2.5V output) |
| Output Current | 5A continuous (supports high-current FPGA or SoC core rails) |
| Current Limit | 6.5A (protects against short-circuit while allowing brief inrush) |
| Thermal Resistance θJA | 100°C/W (TO-252-2 (3); requires moderate copper area for thermal management) |
| Load Regulation | ±15mV (0–5A load step; ensures stable voltage under dynamic CPU load changes) |
| PSRR | 72dB at 120Hz (suppresses ripple from upstream switching converters) |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-252-2 (3), surface-mount, lead-free, RoHS-compliant, with exposed thermal pad (pin 2 functions as output and thermal tab).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | INPUT | Unregulated input supply (4.0–7.0V); connects to bulk capacitor and upstream source |
| 2 | OUTPUT / TAB | Regulated 2.5V output and primary thermal path; must be soldered to ≥2 cm² copper pour |
| 3 | ADJ/GND | Ground reference terminal; ties to system ground plane and output capacitor negative |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low dropout at full load | 1.3V typical @ 5A enables use with 3.3V or 5V intermediate rails |
| Integrated thermal protection | Shuts down at +150°C junction and auto-recovers when cooled below +135°C |
| Fixed 2.5V output | Eliminates external resistors-reduces BOM count and layout area vs. adjustable versions |
| High PSRR | 72dB at 120Hz suppresses switching noise from DC/DC converters feeding its input |
| Lead-free & green packaging | TO-252-2 (3) meets RoHS 2 and halogen/antimony-free "Green" requirements (≤900ppm Br+Cl) |
Applications
| Microprocessor Core Supply | Battery Charger Post-Regulation |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Powering ARM Cortex-A series SoCs requiring clean, tightly regulated 2.5V core voltage with fast transient response.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-ripple LDO with 72dB PSRR filtering noise from shared 3.3V system rail. Use Value: Reduces PHY bit error rate (BER) by suppressing 120Hz ripple and broadband switching noise. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-dropout linear regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP2112K-2.5TRG1 | 2.5V fixed, 600mA max, SOT-23-5, 350mV dropout @ 600mA | Lower current capacity; unsuitable for >1A loads | Select only for space-constrained, sub-1A applications where thermal mass is limited. |
| TLV1117-25CDCYR | 2.5V fixed, 800mA max, SOT-223, 1.2V dropout @ 800mA | Lower thermal performance (θJA ≈ 60°C/W unmounted), no integrated current limit | Use where cost sensitivity outweighs need for 5A capability and robust fault protection. |
Compared with AP2112K-2.5TRG1 and TLV1117-25CDCYR, the AZ1084D-2.5TRE1 uniquely supports 5A continuous output with integrated 6.5A current limit and thermal shutdown-making it the only viable option among the three for high-current microprocessor or FPGA core supplies.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AZ1084D-2.5TRE1 to maintain regulation?
The minimum input voltage is 3.8V: calculated as VOUT + VDROP(max) = 2.5V + 1.5V = 4.0V, but datasheet specifies 4.0V ≤ VIN ≤ 7.0V for guaranteed 2.5V output across temperature and load. At 25°C and light load, regulation may hold down to ~3.8V, but design margin requires adherence to the 4.0V minimum.
Can AZ1084D-2.5TRE1 be used in parallel for higher current?
No-AZ1084D-2.5TRE1 lacks current-sharing capability or master-slave synchronization. Parallel connection risks thermal runaway due to mismatched dropout voltages and load distribution. For >5A, select a single higher-current regulator or redesign with multiphase switching architecture.
Is thermal pad (pin 2) electrically isolated in TO-252-2 (3) package?
No-the thermal pad (pin 2) is internally connected to the OUTPUT terminal. It must be soldered to a grounded or output-referenced copper pour. Electrical isolation is not provided; using it as a separate ground node will cause short-circuit failure.
Does AZ1084D-2.5TRE1 require an input capacitor?
Yes-a minimum 10µF ceramic or tantalum input capacitor is required per datasheet to prevent oscillation and ensure stability. Placement within 5mm of pins 1 and 3 is mandatory; insufficient capacitance or poor layout causes startup overshoot and potential damage during hot-swap events.
