Product details
Overview
AZ1086D-3.3TRE1 from BCD Semiconductor Manufacturing Limited is a fixed-output 3.3V, 1.5A low dropout linear regulator in TO-252-2 (1) package with 1.3V typical dropout at full load, integrated thermal shutdown and current limiting, and ±1% output voltage accuracy over temperature and load - deployed in motherboard power supplies and telecom equipment where stable post-regulation is required.
For engineers reviewing the AZ1086D-3.3TRE1 datasheet, AZ1086D-3.3TRE1 pinout, AZ1086D-3.3TRE1 application, or AZ1086D-3.3TRE1 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated package mapping to TO-252-2 (1), confirmed thermal protection behavior, and real-world use cases for high-current LDO selection in industrial and communications systems.
Technical Context
The AZ1086D-3.3TRE1 implements a bandgap-referenced error amplifier driving a PNP pass transistor, enabling low dropout operation with minimal headroom. Its internal current limit circuit triggers at 2.3A and thermal shutdown activates at 165°C junction temperature with 30°C hysteresis.
It operates across 0–125°C junction temperature range with input voltage up to 15V and requires only 10μF input and 22μF output capacitance for stability. Load regulation is 7mV max over 10mA–1.5A, and line regulation is 1mV max across 4.75–10V input for the 3.3V variant.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.3V ±1% (3.235–3.365V) at 10mA–1.5A load and 4.75–10V input - ensures compatibility with 3.3V logic rails under worst-case thermal and line conditions. |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.3V typical at 1.5A (max 1.5V) - enables operation from 4.6V input while sustaining full-rated output current. |
| Output Current | 1.5A continuous - supports high-current digital subsystems such as microprocessor core supplies and FPGA I/O banks. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 165°C activation with 30°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Line Regulation | 1mV max over 4.75–10V input - minimizes output variation when upstream switching supply ripple or sag occurs. |
| Load Regulation | 7mV max over 10mA–1.5A load - maintains tight voltage control across dynamic current demands in modem or set-top box applications. |
| Quiescent Current | 5–10mA - balances low-noise performance with standby power efficiency in always-on telecom modules. |
Pinout & Package
AZ1086D-3.3TRE1 is packaged in TO-252-2 (1), a surface-mount DPAK variant with exposed thermal pad, rated for 100°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance and compatible with standard reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (INPUT) | Input voltage supply connection | Accepts 4.75–15V DC; must be decoupled with ≥10μF tantalum or ceramic capacitor close to pin. |
| 2 (OUTPUT) | Regulated 3.3V output node | Delivers up to 1.5A; requires ≥22μF output capacitance for stability and transient response. |
| 3 (GND) | Ground reference and thermal path | Connected to PCB ground plane and thermal pad; critical for thermal performance and noise rejection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low dropout operation | 1.3V typical at 1.5A enables use with minimal input–output differential, reducing power loss and heat generation. |
| Integrated protection | Current limit (2.3A) and thermal shutdown (165°C) eliminate need for external fault management circuitry. |
| Fixed 3.3V output | No external resistors required - simplifies layout, improves accuracy vs. adjustable variants, and reduces BOM count. |
| High PSRR | 60–75dB ripple rejection at 120Hz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters in hybrid power architectures. |
| RMS output noise | 0.003% of VOUT (≈100μV RMS) - suitable for noise-sensitive analog sections and ADC reference domains. |
Applications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MIC29302WU-3.3 | 3A output rating, higher quiescent current (35mA), TO-263-3 package | Better suited for higher-current loads but dissipates more idle power and requires larger PCB area | Select when >1.5A peak current is needed and thermal margin allows higher IQ penalty |
| TLV1117-33CDCY | 800mA output, SOT-223 package, lower dropout (1.2V typ), no thermal hysteresis | Limited to lower-power applications; lacks thermal recovery margin in sustained overload | Select for cost-sensitive, space-constrained designs with ≤800mA load and moderate ambient temperature |
Compared with MIC29302WU-3.3 and TLV1117-33CDCY, AZ1086D-3.3TRE1 uniquely balances 1.5A capability, 1.3V dropout, and integrated thermal hysteresis in a compact TO-252-2 (1) footprint - making it optimal for telecom and embedded systems requiring robust, medium-current regulation without excessive board area or quiescent loss.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AZ1086D-3.3TRE1 to maintain regulation at 1.5A?
The minimum input voltage is 4.6V, calculated as VOUT + VDROP(max) = 3.3V + 1.5V. At 1.3V typical dropout, 4.6V ensures full 1.5A output with margin; operation below this causes foldback current limiting. Input must also exceed 4.75V per datasheet's recommended operating condition.
Can AZ1086D-3.3TRE1 be used without an output capacitor?
No. The device requires ≥22μF output capacitance (tantalum or low-ESR ceramic) for loop stability and transient response. Omitting it risks oscillation, overshoot, or thermal shutdown during load steps. The datasheet specifies this as mandatory for all operating conditions.
How does the thermal shutdown hysteresis affect system recovery?
After triggering at 165°C, the device remains off until junction temperature falls to ~135°C (165°C – 30°C hysteresis). This prevents rapid cycling during overload and allows passive cooling before resuming regulation - critical for reliability in sealed telecom enclosures.
Is AZ1086D-3.3TRE1 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes. The "E1" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant, lead-free termination, qualified for standard Pb-free reflow profiles with peak temperature up to 260°C (10-second duration). The TO-252-2 (1) package's thermal mass and pad layout support uniform heating and void-free solder joints.
