Product details
Overview
AZ1086S-1.8TRE1 from BCD Semiconductor Manufacturing Limited is a fixed-output 1.8 V, 1.5 A low dropout linear regulator in TO-263-3 package with 1.3 V typical dropout at full load, on-chip thermal shutdown, and ±1% output voltage accuracy over temperature and load. It delivers stable power to microprocessor cores and motherboard VRMs where tight regulation and high current capability are required.
For engineers reviewing the AZ1086S-1.8TRE1 datasheet, AZ1086S-1.8TRE1 pinout, AZ1086S-1.8TRE1 application, or AZ1086S-1.8TRE1 equivalent, this part supports post-regulation of switching supplies, battery-powered telecom modules, and DVD player power rails requiring <20 mV load regulation and 75 dB ripple rejection at 120 Hz.
Technical Context
The AZ1086S-1.8TRE1 integrates a precision bandgap reference (1.225–1.270 V), current-limit circuit (2.3 A typical), and thermal protection with 165 °C shutdown threshold and 30 °C hysteresis. Its internal architecture uses a PNP pass transistor for low dropout and high PSRR performance.
It operates across 0–125 °C junction temperature range with input voltage up to 15 V and requires only 10 μF input and 22 μF output tantalum capacitors for stability. Load regulation remains within ±12 mV from 10 mA to 1.5 A at fixed 1.8 V output.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8 V ±1.5% (1.746–1.854 V) ensures compatibility with 1.8 V logic and memory I/O rails. |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.3 V typical at 1.5 A enables operation with VIN as low as 3.1 V, critical for battery-backed systems. |
| Output Current | 1.5 A continuous delivery supports high-current digital loads like SoC core supplies. |
| Line Regulation | 0.6 mV typical (0.3–6 mV max) maintains output stability despite input rail fluctuations. |
| Load Regulation | 6 mV typical (3–20 mV max) guarantees <±0.33% output deviation across full load range. |
| Ripple Rejection | 75 dB at 120 Hz suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 165 °C activation with 30 °C hysteresis prevents latch-up during sustained overload. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-263-3 (D²PAK), surface-mount, thermally enhanced with exposed tab connected to output (pin 2). Pin 1 = INPUT, Pin 2 = OUTPUT, Pin 3 = GND.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Input | Unregulated DC input (up to 15 V); requires ≥10 μF ceramic/tantalum bypass near pin. |
| Pin 2 | Output | Regulated 1.8 V supply; connects to exposed thermal pad for heatsinking and current return path. |
| Pin 3 | GND | Reference ground for feedback and thermal sensor; must be low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low Dropout | 1.3 V at 1.5 A enables use in 3.3 V → 1.8 V post-regulation without excessive power loss. |
| Integrated Protection | Current limit (2.3 A) + thermal shutdown (165 °C) eliminate need for external fault management circuitry. |
| High Accuracy Output | ±1% initial tolerance and <0.5% temperature drift ensure reliable operation across industrial temperature range. |
| Stable with Low-ESR Caps | Compatible with 10 μF input / 22 μF output tantalum capacitors-no external compensation required. |
| Lead-Free & Green | E1 suffix indicates RoHS-compliant, halogen-free packaging per JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow profile. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MIC29152-1.8WU | 1.5 A, 1.8 V fixed, 0.6 V dropout (lower), but requires minimum 100 μF output capacitor. | Better efficiency in low-VIN scenarios; less suitable for space-constrained layouts due to larger cap requirement. | Select when input voltage is ≤3.0 V and board area permits bulk capacitance. |
| TLV1117-18CDCY | 800 mA max output, 1.2 V dropout, SOT-223 package, no integrated thermal hysteresis. | Limited to lower-current peripherals; lacks robust thermal recovery behavior for intermittent overload. | Choose only for cost-sensitive, sub-1 A applications where thermal margin is guaranteed. |
Compared with MIC29152-1.8WU and TLV1117-18CDCY, AZ1086S-1.8TRE1 offers higher current headroom (1.5 A), tighter output tolerance (±1%), and built-in thermal hysteresis-making it optimal for industrial-grade motherboard and telecom modules demanding reliability under transient load stress.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for AZ1086S-1.8TRE1?
The absolute maximum input voltage is 15 V, as specified in the datasheet's Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Operation above this level risks permanent damage. For reliable long-term use, the recommended maximum is 10 V under all conditions, especially at elevated junction temperatures where power dissipation increases significantly.
Does AZ1086S-1.8TRE1 require an external capacitor on the ADJ/GND pin?
No-AZ1086S-1.8TRE1 is a fixed-output variant; the ADJ/GND pin is internally connected to ground and does not require external components. Unlike the adjustable AZ1086-ADJ version, no resistor divider or compensation network is needed, simplifying layout and reducing BOM count.
Can AZ1086S-1.8TRE1 be paralleled for higher current output?
Paralleling is not recommended. The device lacks built-in current-sharing circuitry, and mismatched dropout voltages between units will cause uneven load distribution-potentially overloading one regulator while underutilizing others. For >1.5 A requirements, select a higher-current LDO or redesign with a switching solution.
What thermal resistance values apply to the TO-263-3 package of AZ1086S-1.8TRE1?
The junction-to-case thermal resistance (θJC) is 7.22 °C/W, and junction-to-ambient (θJA) is 60 °C/W with standard 1-inch² 2-oz copper pad. Effective heatsinking requires soldering the exposed output pad directly to a large copper pour; adding thermal vias improves θJA by up to 20 °C/W in multilayer boards.
