Product details
Overview
AZ1117BH-1.2TRE1 from BCD Semiconductor Manufacturing Limited is a fixed-output 1.2 V, 600 mA low dropout linear regulator in SOT-223 package, optimized for low-voltage systems with tight input margin and high transient response requirements. It delivers ±1% output voltage accuracy, 1.2 V dropout at 800 mA, and integrated thermal shutdown and current limit protection. It powers core logic rails in USB peripherals and add-on cards where stable low-noise biasing is critical.
For engineers reviewing the AZ1117BH-1.2TRE1 datasheet, AZ1117BH-1.2TRE1 pinout, AZ1117BH-1.2TRE1 application, or AZ1117BH-1.2TRE1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at full load, RMS output noise (0.003% of VOUT), PSRR (70 dB at 120 Hz), quiescent current (max 6 mA), and thermal shutdown junction temperature (160 °C).
Technical Context
The AZ1117BH-1.2TRE1 uses a trimmed bandgap reference and PNP pass transistor architecture to achieve low dropout and high line/load regulation. Its internal current limit (1.0 A typ.) and thermal shutdown (160 °C trip, 16 °C hysteresis) operate independently of external components.
It requires no external compensation and supports stable operation with 10 μF input and 22 μF output ceramic capacitors. The fixed 1.2 V version integrates precision feedback resistors, eliminating adjustment pins and simplifying layout versus the ADJ variant.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.2 V ±1% (ensures reliable core voltage for 1.2 V logic domains) |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.2–1.3 V at 800 mA (enables operation from 2.4 V input in battery-backed systems) |
| PSRR | 70 dB at 120 Hz, 300 mA load (suppresses ripple from upstream switching converters) |
| RMS Output Noise | 0.003% of VOUT (10 Hz–10 kHz; <36 μV RMS for clean analog/RF supply) |
| Quiescent Current | Max 6 mA (minimizes standby power loss in always-on subsystems) |
| Thermal Shutdown | 160 °C junction trip with 16 °C hysteresis (prevents thermal runaway under overload) |
| Current Limit | 0.85–1.15 A (protects IC and PCB traces during short-circuit events) |
Pinout & Package
SOT-223 package with exposed thermal pad (pin 2 connected to die attach paddle); standard footprint compatible with JEDEC TO-261AA.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (INPUT) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2.4–10 V DC; must be ≥1.2 V + dropout to maintain regulation |
| 2 (OUTPUT) | Regulated output | Delivers stable 1.2 V ±1%; connects directly to load and output capacitor |
| 3 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return path for input/output currents and internal bandgap reference |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 1.2 V output | Eliminates external resistor network-reduces BOM count and layout area |
| Low dropout (1.2 V @ 800 mA) | Enables single-cell Li-ion or dual-cell NiMH input without boost conversion |
| 0.003% RMS output noise | Meets noise-sensitive requirements for PLLs, ADC references, and RF bias rails |
| 70 dB PSRR at 120 Hz | Rejects switching noise from buck converters feeding intermediate bus rails |
| Integrated thermal shutdown | Self-protects under sustained overload without external circuitry or delay timing |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP1117M-1.2TRG1 | Same 1.2 V output, but rated for 800 mA continuous; higher dropout (1.3 V @ 800 mA) | Marginally lower efficiency in ultra-low-input scenarios; identical thermal shutdown behavior | Preferred when higher current headroom is required and board space allows larger thermal pad |
| LD1117S12TR | 1.2 V output, 800 mA rating, 1.1 V dropout at 800 mA; different pinout (SOT-223, but pin 1 = GND) | Requires PCB redesign due to reversed pin 1/pin 3 assignment; superior dropout performance | Select only if dropout reduction outweighs layout rework cost and thermal resistance is acceptable |
Compared with AP1117M-1.2TRG1, AZ1117BH-1.2TRE1 offers lower dropout and tighter initial accuracy; compared with LD1117S12TR, it avoids pinout conflict but trades 0.1 V higher dropout for guaranteed compatibility with legacy SOT-223 layouts.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AZ1117BH-1.2TRE1 to maintain regulation at full load?
The minimum input voltage is 2.4 V: 1.2 V output plus 1.2 V typical dropout at 800 mA. Operation below this threshold causes output voltage to drop linearly with input; datasheet specifies 1.5 V minimum VIN–VOUT differential for guaranteed line regulation performance.
Can AZ1117BH-1.2TRE1 be used with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes-22 μF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitors are explicitly validated in the datasheet for stability. Equivalent series resistance (ESR) down to 10 mΩ is supported, unlike older LDOs requiring tantalum or aluminum electrolytics for phase margin.
How does thermal shutdown behave during sustained overload?
When junction temperature reaches 160 °C, the regulator shuts off output and remains latched until temperature drops by 16 °C (to ~144 °C), then resumes regulation. This hysteresis prevents oscillation near trip point and protects against PCB-level thermal accumulation.
Is AZ1117BH-1.2TRE1 pin-compatible with standard LM1117-1.2 variants?
No-while both use SOT-223, AZ1117BH-1.2TRE1 has INPUT on pin 1, OUTPUT on pin 2, and GND on pin 3; many LM1117 variants assign GND to pin 1. Physical mounting is identical, but PCB layout must match BCD's pin mapping to avoid shorts.
