Product details
Overview
AZ1086H-3.3TRE1 from BCD Semiconductor Manufacturing Limited is a fixed-output 3.3V, 1.5A low dropout linear regulator in SOT-223 package, featuring 1.3V typical dropout at full load, on-chip thermal shutdown, and ±1% output voltage accuracy over temperature and load. It delivers stable power for microprocessor core supplies and post-regulation in telecom and set-top box power rails.
For engineers reviewing the AZ1086H-3.3TRE1 datasheet, AZ1086H-3.3TRE1 pinout, AZ1086H-3.3TRE1 application, or AZ1086H-3.3TRE1 equivalent, this part supports high-current, low-noise LDO design with verified thermal protection, precise load regulation (7 mV max), and compatibility with standard 10–22 μF tantalum/low-ESR ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The AZ1086H-3.3TRE1 implements a bandgap-referenced error amplifier driving a PNP pass transistor, enabling stable regulation with minimal headroom. Its internal current limiting (2.3A) and thermal shutdown (165°C trip, 30°C hysteresis) operate independently of external components.
Designed for fixed-output operation, it integrates precision feedback resistors-eliminating external dividers-and maintains 0.1% typical load regulation and 0.5 mV typical line regulation across its 4.75–10V input range, making it suitable for noise-sensitive analog and digital supply domains.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.3V ±1% (guaranteed over 0–125°C junction temp and 10mA–1.5A load) |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.3V typical at 1.5A (enables operation with VIN as low as 4.6V for 3.3V out) |
| Output Current | 1.5A continuous (supports CPU core, FPGA I/O, or ASIC logic rail loads) |
| Current Limit | 2.3A (protects against short-circuit faults without external sensing) |

| 3 (GND) | Ground reference and thermal path | Common return for input/output circuits; soldered thermal pad must be connected to PCB ground plane for thermal performance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

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, higher dropout (0.4V @ 3A), TO-263-5 package | Better suited for higher-current loads but requires larger board area and different thermal management | Select when >1.5A peak current or lower dropout at higher load is required; not drop-in due to pinout and package mismatch |
| TLV1117-33CDCY | 800mA output, 1.2V dropout @ 800mA, SOT-223-3, tighter initial accuracy (±1.5%) | Limited to sub-1A applications; lower thermal capacity and current capability | Choose only for cost-sensitive, low-power designs where 1.5A headroom is unnecessary |
Compared with MIC29302WU-3.3 and TLV1117-33CDCY, the AZ1086H-3.3TRE1 uniquely balances 1.5A capability, SOT-223 footprint, and 1.3V dropout-making it optimal for space-constrained, medium-current applications requiring proven thermal resilience without upgrading to TO-263.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for stable 3.3V output at 1.5A?
The AZ1086H-3.3TRE1 requires a minimum input voltage of 4.6V (3.3V + 1.3V typical dropout) to maintain regulation at 1.5A load. The datasheet specifies absolute minimum VIN of 4.75V under all operating conditions to ensure margin for worst-case dropout (1.5V) and line/load regulation drift.
Can AZ1086H-3.3TRE1 be used with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes-ceramic capacitors ≥22μF with ≤10mΩ ESR are fully supported and recommended for improved transient response. The device's internal compensation is stable with ceramic, tantalum, or aluminum electrolytic types; no external compensation is needed.
Does the SOT-223 package require thermal vias for 1.5A operation?
Yes-reliable 1.5A continuous operation requires connecting the exposed thermal pad to a minimum 100 mm² internal or external copper pour via ≥4 thermal vias (0.3mm diameter). Without this, junction temperature exceeds 125°C at ambient >50°C, triggering thermal shutdown.
How does the AZ1086H-3.3TRE1 handle short-circuit events?
Under short-circuit, the device limits output current to ~2.3A and enters thermal shutdown if junction temperature reaches 165°C. After cooling by ≥30°C, it automatically recovers-no latch or external reset is required. This cycle repeats until fault is removed.
