Product details
Overview
AZ1084S2-2.5TRE1 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 2.5V, 5A low-dropout linear regulator in TO-263-2 package, featuring 1.3V typical dropout at full load, on-chip thermal limiting, and ±1% output voltage accuracy over 0°C to +125°C. It delivers stable microprocessor core supply for embedded RISC systems requiring high-current, low-noise DC regulation with minimal input–output differential.
For engineers reviewing the AZ1084S2-2.5TRE1 datasheet, AZ1084S2-2.5TRE1 pinout, AZ1084S2-2.5TRE1 application, or AZ1084S2-2.5TRE1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 5A, thermal resistance (θJC = 4.15°C/W), load regulation (±7 mV), and compatibility with standard TO-263-2 PCB footprints and heatsinking.
Technical Context
The AZ1084S2-2.5TRE1 integrates a trimmed band-gap reference and current-limiting circuitry to maintain output stability under transient load steps up to 5A. Its internal protection architecture combines foldback current limiting and thermal shutdown triggered at junction temperatures exceeding +150°C.
Designed for post-regulation after switching converters, it operates with input voltages up to 12V and maintains line regulation of ±0.5 mV across 4.0V–10V input range. The fixed 2.5V output eliminates external resistor networks, reducing BOM count and layout sensitivity compared to adjustable variants.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5V ±1% (ensures compliance with 2.5V I/O or core rail tolerances) |
| Max Output Current | 5A continuous (supports high-power FPGA or SoC core domains) |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.3V typical at 5A (enables operation from 3.8V input when VOUT = 2.5V) |
| Load Regulation | ±7 mV (0–5A load step; critical for stable logic-level signaling) |
| Thermal Resistance θJC | 4.15°C/W (TO-263-2 package; enables direct heatsink mounting for >3W dissipation) |
| Operating Junction Temp | 0°C to +125°C (supports industrial-grade embedded deployment without derating) |
| Quiescent Current | 5–10 mA (low bias draw preserves efficiency in always-on subsystems) |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-263-2 (D²PAK-2), surface-mount, thermally enhanced with exposed tab (pin 2) for direct heatsink attachment. Pin 1 = INPUT, Pin 2 = OUTPUT (tab), Pin 3 = GND/ADJ (tied internally to GND for fixed versions).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Input | Unregulated DC input (max 12V); requires ≥10 µF ceramic input capacitor for stability |
| 2 | Output / Tab | Regulated 2.5V output and thermal path; must be soldered to large copper pour or heatsink |
| 3 | GND | Ground reference for internal bandgap and error amplifier; low-inductance connection required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low dropout at full load | 1.3V @ 5A enables use with 3.3V intermediate bus rails |
| Integrated thermal protection | Automatic shutdown above +150°C junction temperature prevents permanent damage |
| Fixed 2.5V output | Eliminates external resistor divider, reducing layout complexity and drift sources |
| Lead-free & RoHS-compliant | TO-263-2 package meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU with <900 ppm Br/Cl total |
| High PSRR | 72 dB @ 120 Hz suppresses ripple from upstream switching converters |
Applications
| Microprocessor Core Supply | Battery Charger Post-Regulation |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Powering ARM Cortex-A series SoCs in industrial gateways requiring clean 2.5V core voltage. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary LDO delivering regulated core rail with fast transient response to CPU burst loads. Use Value: 1.3V dropout allows operation from 3.8V battery-derived input; ±7 mV load regulation ensures logic-level integrity during 0–5A load transients. | Use Scenario: Final-stage regulation in multi-cell Li-ion charger systems where switching stage output exhibits residual ripple. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-noise post-regulator suppressing 120Hz ripple from AC-DC adapter or buck converter. Use Value: 72 dB PSRR at 120 Hz reduces ripple to <35 µV RMS; thermal shutdown protects against overcharge-induced overheating. |
| Desktop PC VRM Auxiliary Rail | RISC Processor I/O Supply |
Use Scenario: Generating auxiliary 2.5V rail for DDR memory termination or PCIe slot logic in compact desktop motherboards. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary LDO supplying noise-sensitive interface circuitry adjacent to high-speed digital traces. Use Value: 0.003% RMS output noise minimizes jitter on timing-critical signals; TO-263-2 footprint supports automated reflow assembly. | Use Scenario: Powering I/O banks of RISC-V microcontrollers in edge sensor nodes operating across -40°C to +85°C ambient. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fixed-output regulator providing stable interface voltage independent of load or temperature variation. Use Value: ±1% output tolerance maintained over 0–125°C junction range ensures reliable level-shifting; 1000-hour long-term stability <0.5% guarantees field reliability. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP7361-25SG-13 | Lower current (300mA), smaller SOT-23 package, higher dropout (300mV @ 300mA) | Suitable only for low-power peripherals-not microprocessor cores | Select only for space-constrained, sub-500mA applications where thermal performance is secondary |
| TLV1117-25CDCYR | 3A rating, SOT-223 package, 1.2V dropout @ 3A, no integrated thermal shutdown hysteresis | Limited to ≤3A loads; less robust under sustained overload | Acceptable for cost-sensitive 3A designs but requires external thermal monitoring for 5A-equivalent use cases |
Compared with AP7361-25SG-13 and TLV1117-25CDCYR, the AZ1084S2-2.5TRE1 uniquely supports 5A continuous output in a thermally optimized TO-263-2 package with guaranteed thermal shutdown and <1% output tolerance-making it the sole viable option for high-current, industrial-grade 2.5V regulation.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for AZ1084S2-2.5TRE1?
The absolute maximum input voltage is 12V per the datasheet's Recommended Operating Conditions table. Operation above this risks permanent damage. For reliable 2.5V output, minimum input is 3.8V (2.5V + 1.3V dropout), and recommended range is 4.0V to 10V to ensure specified load and line regulation performance.
Does AZ1084S2-2.5TRE1 require an external capacitor on the ADJ/GND pin?
No. The AZ1084S2-2.5TRE1 is a fixed-output variant; pin 3 is internally connected to ground and does not require external components. Only adjustable versions (e.g., AZ1084S2-ADJTRE1) need external resistors between ADJ and GND/OUTPUT to set VOUT.
Can AZ1084S2-2.5TRE1 be paralleled for higher current?
No-this device lacks built-in current-sharing circuitry. Paralleling without external ballast resistors or active control causes unequal current distribution and thermal runaway. For >5A requirements, select a single higher-current regulator or redesign with multiphase switching architecture.
Is AZ1084S2-2.5TRE1 still in active production?
No-the datasheet explicitly states "OBSOLETE – PART DISCONTINUED" and recommends migration to AZ1084C. However, Aetrix Electronics maintains legacy inventory with full traceability and offers lifecycle coordination support for existing designs dependent on this part.
