Product details
Overview
AZ1117CR-1.5TRG1 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 1.5V low-dropout linear regulator in SOT89 package, delivering up to 1.35A output current with ±1% output voltage accuracy, 1.3V typical dropout at 0.8A, and 70dB PSRR at 120Hz - used for stable local regulation in USB peripherals and PC add-on cards.
For engineers reviewing the AZ1117CR-1.5TRG1 datasheet, AZ1117CR-1.5TRG1 pinout, AZ1117CR-1.5TRG1 application, or AZ1117CR-1.5TRG1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 800mA load, thermal shutdown threshold (+160°C), compatibility with low-ESR ceramic capacitors (<20Ω), minimum 10µF output capacitance requirement, and quiescent current ≤6mA under no-load conditions.
Technical Context
The AZ1117CR-1.5TRG1 integrates a trimmed bandgap reference and on-chip thermal shutdown circuitry, ensuring ±1% output accuracy over -20°C to +125°C junction temperature range and protection against excessive power dissipation. Its internal current-limit function caps output at 1.35A typical.
Designed for low-noise, high-transient-response applications, it achieves 0.003% RMS output noise (10Hz–10kHz) and maintains stable regulation with ceramic output capacitors as low as 10µF and ESR <20Ω - eliminating need for electrolytic or tantalum alternatives.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.5V ±1% (1.470V to 1.530V), guaranteed across full -20°C to +125°C operating junction temperature range. |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.3V typical at IOUT = 0.8A (SOT89 package), enabling regulation from VIN ≥ 2.8V while maintaining output stability. |
| Output Current | 1.35A typical current limit, protecting downstream circuitry during short-circuit or overload events. |
| PSRR | 70dB at 120Hz with 22µF output capacitor, suppressing ripple from noisy DC-DC pre-regulators or shared supply rails. |
| Quiescent Current | Max 6mA at zero load, minimizing standby power loss in battery-backed or always-on subsystems. |
| RMS Output Noise | 0.003% of VOUT (i.e., 45µV RMS for 1.5V output) over 10Hz–10kHz bandwidth, critical for analog sensor or ADC reference supplies. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at +160°C junction temperature with +16°C hysteresis, allowing safe recovery without external thermal management. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT89 (3-pin, single-gauge leadframe, standard JEDEC TO-243AA outline; 4.4mm × 2.9mm × 1.5mm body height).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Tab) | Input (VIN) | Primary DC input connection; tab is electrically connected to Pin 1 and serves as thermal path to PCB copper pour. |
| 2 | Output (VOUT) | Regulated 1.5V output node; requires ≥10µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor to ground for stability. |
| 3 | Ground (GND) | Reference return for internal bandgap and error amplifier; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low dropout operation | 1.3V typical at 0.8A enables use with 3.3V or 5V rails where headroom is constrained. |
| Ceramic capacitor compatible | Stable with 10µF/ESR <20Ω output cap - eliminates cost, size, and reliability penalties of tantalum or aluminum electrolytics. |
| High PSRR at line frequency | 70dB rejection at 120Hz allows clean 1.5V rail generation directly from rectified AC or switching converter outputs. |
| Trimmed bandgap reference | ±1% output accuracy maintained over full -20°C to +125°C range without external calibration. |
| Integrated thermal protection | Auto-recovery shutdown at +160°C junction temperature prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-1502E/MB | 1.5V fixed, 250mA max output, 6µA quiescent current, SOT23-3 package. | Lower current capability and smaller thermal mass - suitable only for ultra-low-power microcontrollers, not USB or FPGA loads. | Select when system load <200mA and standby current is critical; not drop-in for AZ1117CR-1.5TRG1's 1.35A requirement. |
| TLV1117-15CDCYR | 1.5V fixed, 800mA max output, 1.2V dropout at 800mA, SOIC-8 package with thermal pad. | Higher thermal resistance (θJA = 125°C/W unmounted) vs. SOT89 (170°C/W); requires larger PCB copper area for same power dissipation. | Choose for legacy SOIC-compatible designs needing moderate current; verify thermal margin at 800mA continuous load. |
Compared with MCP1700T-1502E/MB and TLV1117-15CDCYR, the AZ1117CR-1.5TRG1 uniquely balances 1.35A output, SOT89 thermal performance, and 1.3V dropout - making it optimal for space-constrained, medium-current applications where ceramic capacitor compatibility and ±1% accuracy are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for stable 1.5V output at 1A load?
The AZ1117CR-1.5TRG1 requires VIN ≥ VOUT + VDROP. At 1A load, typical dropout is 1.4V (per TO252 data; SOT89 is slightly higher), so minimum VIN is 2.9V. For guaranteed operation across temperature and process variation, design for VIN ≥ 3.0V to maintain regulation margin.
Can this device replace the LM1117-1.5 in existing designs?
Yes - AZ1117CR-1.5TRG1 shares identical pinout (SOT89), output voltage, and functional behavior with LM1117-1.5. Key improvements include tighter ±1% output tolerance (vs. ±2%), lower 0.003% RMS noise, and enhanced thermal shutdown hysteresis (+16°C), requiring no layout changes.
Is an input capacitor required, and what value is recommended?
An input capacitor is strongly recommended to suppress source impedance spikes. Diodes specifies 10µF tantalum or aluminum electrolytic; however, 4.7µF–10µF X5R/X7R ceramic with ≤100mΩ ESR is acceptable and improves transient response. Place within 5mm of Pin 1.
Does this part support adjustable output via external resistors?
No - AZ1117CR-1.5TRG1 is a fixed-output variant with internal resistor divider. For adjustable operation, use AZ1117CR-ADJTRG1 (SOT89) or AZ1117CH-ADJTRG1 (SOT223), which expose the ADJ pin and require two external resistors to set VOUT per VREF × (1 + R2/R1) + IADJ × R2.
