Product details
Overview
AZ1117CR-1.8TRG1 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 1.8 V low-dropout linear regulator in SOT89 package, delivering up to 1.35 A output current with ±1% output voltage accuracy, 1.3 V typical dropout at 0.8 A, and 70 dB PSRR at 120 Hz. It integrates thermal shutdown and current limiting, and is optimized for USB devices and PC motherboard power rails.
For engineers reviewing the AZ1117CR-1.8TRG1 datasheet, AZ1117CR-1.8TRG1 pinout, AZ1117CR-1.8TRG1 application, or AZ1117CR-1.8TRG1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 800 mA load, RMS output noise (0.003% of VOUT), quiescent current (max 6 mA), and compatibility with low-ESR ceramic capacitors (≤20 Ω, ≥10 µF).
Technical Context
The AZ1117CR-1.8TRG1 uses an internal trimmed bandgap reference to maintain ±1% output voltage accuracy across –20°C to +125°C junction temperature. Its overcurrent protection activates at 1.35 A typical, and thermal shutdown triggers at +160°C with +16°C hysteresis.
It operates with input voltages up to 15 V and requires only a 10 µF ceramic output capacitor (ESR < 20 Ω). The device supports stable regulation down to 1.5 V input-to-output differential and exhibits 0.003% RMS output noise (10 Hz–10 kHz) and 70 dB power supply rejection at 120 Hz with 300 mA load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8 V ±1% (ensures stable core logic supply for 1.8 V I/O domains) |
| Max Output Current | 1.35 A typical (supports high-current digital loads without external pass transistor) |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.3 V typical at 0.8 A (enables operation from 3.1 V input, critical for battery-backed systems) |
| PSRR | 70 dB at 120 Hz, 300 mA (rejects ripple from upstream switching converters) |
| Quiescent Current | 6 mA maximum (minimizes standby power loss in always-on subsystems) |
| Output Noise | 0.003% of VOUT (10 Hz–10 kHz; preserves signal integrity in analog-sensitive circuits) |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at +160°C with +16°C hysteresis (prevents permanent damage during sustained overload) |
Pinout & Package
The AZ1117CR-1.8TRG1 is housed in a 3-pin SOT89 package with exposed tab for thermal dissipation. Pin 1 is INPUT, Pin 2 is OUTPUT, and Pin 3 is GND - matching standard SOT89 pinout for drop-in replacement in legacy designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (INPUT) | Regulator input supply | Accepts 3.1 V to 15 V DC; must be decoupled with ≥10 µF ceramic capacitor |
| Pin 2 (OUTPUT) | Regulated 1.8 V output | Delivers up to 1.35 A; requires low-ESR ceramic capacitor (≤20 Ω) on output |
| Pin 3 (GND) | Ground reference and thermal path | Connected to PCB ground plane; exposed tab enhances thermal conduction to copper pour |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 1.8 V output | Eliminates external resistor network, reducing BOM count and layout area |
| Low ESR capacitor support | Enables use of compact, high-reliability ceramic capacitors instead of bulkier tantalum or electrolytic types |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Prevents thermal runaway by latching off until junction cools by 16°C, enabling safe recovery |
| ±1% output accuracy | Meets tight tolerance requirements for FPGA I/O banks and low-voltage microcontroller cores |
| 1.35 A current limit | Provides robust short-circuit protection while sustaining full load under transient conditions |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for stable 1.8 V output at 1 A load?
The AZ1117CR-1.8TRG1 requires a minimum input voltage of 3.1 V to maintain regulation at 1 A load, based on its typical 1.3 V dropout voltage. At higher ambient temperatures or with reduced PCB copper area, the required headroom may increase to 3.3 V to ensure margin against thermal derating.
Can this regulator operate with a 4.7 µF output capacitor?
No. The datasheet specifies a minimum 10 µF ceramic output capacitor with ESR ≤ 20 Ω for stability. Using 4.7 µF risks oscillation or poor transient response, especially under load steps. A 10 µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor is the validated minimum.
Is the SOT89 package lead-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes. The AZ1117CR-1.8TRG1 is fully RoHS 3 compliant (2015/863/EU), totally lead-free, and halogen- and antimony-free per Diodes Incorporated's "Green" definition (<900 ppm Br, <900 ppm Cl, <1000 ppm Sb), as confirmed in DS36676 Rev. 5–2.
Does this part include reverse polarity protection?
No. The AZ1117CR-1.8TRG1 lacks integrated reverse-polarity protection. If input reversal is possible in the system, an external series Schottky diode or PMOS FET must be added to prevent damage, as reverse voltage beyond –0.3 V can degrade or destroy the device.
