Product details
Overview
AZ1117CR2-ADJTRG1 from Diodes Incorporated is a low-dropout linear regulator (LDO) designed for adjustable output voltage applications requiring high accuracy, low noise, and robust thermal protection. It delivers up to 1.35A typical output current, maintains ±1% output voltage accuracy (via trimmed bandgap reference), and features 1.3V typical dropout at 0.8A in SOT89-3 package. Used in USB devices and PC motherboard power rails where transient response and minimum input voltage margin are critical.
For engineers reviewing the AZ1117CR2-ADJTRG1 datasheet, AZ1117CR2-ADJTRG1 pinout, AZ1117CR2-ADJTRG1 application, or AZ1117CR2-ADJTRG1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at rated load, PSRR at 120Hz, thermal shutdown threshold, quiescent current under no-load, and compatibility with low-ESR ceramic capacitors.
Technical Context
The AZ1117CR2-ADJTRG1 implements an internal bandgap reference with laser-trimmed precision, enabling ±1% output voltage accuracy across -20°C to +125°C. Its feedback loop uses the ADJ pin to set VOUT = VREF × (1 + R2/R1) + IADJ × R2, where VREF = 1.250V (typ) and IADJ ≤ 120µA.
Thermal protection activates at +160°C junction temperature with +16°C hysteresis, and current limiting engages at ≥1A (min) to prevent damage during overload. The device operates with input voltages up to 15V and requires only a 10µF minimum ceramic output capacitor with ESR < 20Ω.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VREF | 1.250V typical; sets output voltage via external resistor divider with ±1% accuracy over full temperature range |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.3V typical at 0.8A (SOT89); enables regulation with minimal VIN–VOUT headroom in space-constrained designs |
| PSRR | 70dB at 120Hz, 300mA load; suppresses ripple from upstream switching regulators or noisy DC sources |
| Output Noise | 0.003% of VOUT (10Hz–10kHz); supports noise-sensitive analog circuits like ADCs or RF front-ends |
| IQ Max | 6mA maximum; minimizes standby power loss in battery-backed or always-on systems |
| Thermal Shutdown | Triggers at +160°C junction temperature with +16°C hysteresis; prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking |
| Current Limit | 1.35A typical; provides short-circuit protection while allowing peak loads exceeding 1A without foldback |
Pinout & Package
The AZ1117CR2-ADJTRG1 is packaged in SOT89-3 (TO-243AA), a surface-mount plastic package with exposed thermal pad on leadframe for enhanced heat dissipation. Thermal resistance θJA is 170°C/W (no heatsink) and 150°C/W (with heatsink).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (INPUT) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2.7V to 15V DC input; must be ≥ VOUT + 1.3V for full regulation at 0.8A |
| 2 (OUTPUT) | Regulated output node | Delivers adjustable output (≥1.25V) with low noise and high PSRR; requires ≥10µF ceramic capacitor |
| 3 (ADJ/GND) | Feedback reference terminal | Connects to resistor divider midpoint; draws ≤120µA; sets VOUT per VREF × (1 + R2/R1) formula |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Trimmed bandgap reference | Ensures ±1% output voltage accuracy across -20°C to +125°C without external calibration |
| Low-ESR capacitor compatibility | Stable with ceramic capacitors ≥10µF and ESR < 20Ω-eliminates need for costly tantalum or electrolytic types |
| Integrated thermal shutdown | Self-protects against ambient + power dissipation overload; recovers automatically after cooldown |
| High PSRR at line frequency | 70dB rejection at 120Hz enables clean LDO output even when powered from unfiltered rectified AC or SMPS with poor low-frequency filtering |
| Adjustable output architecture | Supports any VOUT ≥1.25V using two standard resistors-reduces BOM count versus fixed-voltage variants |
Applications
| USB Devices | Add-on Cards |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Powering USB 2.0/3.0 peripheral ICs (e.g., USB transceivers, hub controllers) from 5V bus with tight noise and transient requirements. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary local LDO delivering stable 3.3V or 1.8V rail; regulates against USB port voltage sag and digital switching noise. Use Value: 0.003% RMS output noise and 70dB PSRR ensure signal integrity in high-speed data links without added filtering. | Use Scenario: Providing clean, adjustable core voltage to FPGA or CPLD configuration circuitry on PCIe or M.2 add-in cards. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Adjustable LDO supplying configurable logic voltage (e.g., 1.2V, 1.5V, 1.8V) from shared 3.3V or 5V board rail. Use Value: ±1% output accuracy and 1.3V dropout enable reliable operation even with marginal input voltage margins on compact card layouts. |
| DVD Players | PC Motherboards |
Use Scenario: Generating low-noise analog supply (e.g., 3.3V) for audio DACs and video decoders in consumer DVD/Blu-ray players. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Post-regulator for sensitive analog subsystems; rejects ripple from main SMPS and reduces EMI coupling into audio paths. Use Value: 0.003% output noise (10Hz–10kHz) meets THD+N requirements for CD-quality audio playback without additional LC filtering. | Use Scenario: Supplying auxiliary voltages (e.g., 2.5V, 3.3V) to chipset I/O, SMBus controllers, or embedded controllers on ATX motherboards. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary LDO supporting non-CPU power domains; handles dynamic load steps from firmware updates or sensor polling. Use Value: Fast transient response and 1.35A current limit maintain regulation during burst-mode loads from management controllers without brownout. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar adjustable LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MIC29302WU | Higher dropout (0.4V @ 3A), higher IQ (15mA max), TO263-5 package | Better suited for high-current, low-VIN applications where thermal mass is available | Select when >1.35A continuous load or lower dropout at higher currents is required |
| LD1117S33TR | Fixed 3.3V output only; same SOT-223 package; 1.2V dropout @ 0.8A | Limited to single-output systems; lacks adjustability but offers smaller footprint than SOT89 | Select for cost-sensitive, fixed-voltage designs where resistor network elimination improves reliability |
Compared with MIC29302WU and LD1117S33TR, the AZ1117CR2-ADJTRG1 offers superior noise performance (0.003% vs. ≥0.01%) and tighter output accuracy (±1% vs. ±2%), making it preferred for precision analog and mixed-signal applications despite its moderate current rating.

FAQ
What is the minimum output capacitor value required for stable operation?
The AZ1117CR2-ADJTRG1 requires a minimum 10µF ceramic output capacitor with ESR less than 20Ω. This ensures phase margin stability across all load and temperature conditions. Using smaller values or higher-ESR capacitors may cause oscillation or poor transient response, especially under step-load conditions.
Can this device regulate from a 3.3V input to a 2.5V output?
No. With a typical dropout voltage of 1.3V at 0.8A, the AZ1117CR2-ADJTRG1 requires at least 3.8V input to sustain 2.5V output under full load. For 3.3V-to-2.5V conversion, a lower-dropout LDO such as the AP2112K (dropout ~150mV) is recommended.
How does the ADJ pin current affect output voltage accuracy?
The ADJ pin draws up to 120µA, which flows through the lower resistor (R2) in the feedback divider. This introduces a systematic error: VOUT = VREF × (1 + R2/R1) + IADJ × R2. To minimize error, keep R2 ≤ 10kΩ; for example, with R1 = 1.24kΩ and R2 = 768Ω (for 3.3V), IADJ × R2 contributes ~0.09mV-well within ±1% tolerance.
Is the AZ1117CR2-ADJTRG1 qualified for automotive applications?
No. While the AZ1117CR2-ADJTRG1 operates from -20°C to +125°C, it is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Diodes Incorporated offers the pin-compatible AZ1117E series (e.g., AZ1117E-ADJTRG1) for automotive use, featuring PPAP capability, IATF 16949 manufacturing, and extended reliability testing.
