Product details
Overview
AZ1117D-3.3TRE1 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 3.3V, 1A low-dropout linear regulator in TO252-2 (3) package, featuring 1.15V dropout at full load, ±1% output voltage accuracy over temperature, and integrated thermal shutdown and current limiting. It delivers stable power to microcontroller cores, USB peripherals, and FPGA I/O banks in space-constrained industrial and embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the AZ1117D-3.3TRE1 datasheet, AZ1117D-3.3TRE1 pinout, AZ1117D-3.3TRE1 application, or AZ1117D-3.3TRE1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 1A, thermal resistance (θJC = 17°C/W), load regulation (≤10 mV), PSRR (≥60 dB at 120 Hz), and RoHS-compliant lead-free TO252-2 (3) packaging for surface-mount reflow compatibility.
Technical Context
The AZ1117D-3.3TRE1 uses a trimmed bandgap reference and PNP pass transistor architecture to achieve tight output voltage tolerance (3.267–3.365 V at 10mA–1A) across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature. Its internal current limit is factory-trimmed to 1.25–1.35 A, ensuring predictable short-circuit behavior without external components.
Thermal protection activates at +150°C junction temperature with +25°C hysteresis, and the device maintains ≥60 dB ripple rejection at 120 Hz with 22 µF tantalum output capacitance. Input voltage range is specified up to 15 V, with absolute maximum VIN at 20 V.
Key Specifications

| Output Voltage | 3.3 V ±1% (3.267–3.365 V at 10mA–1A, TJ = +25°C) |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.15 V at 1A load (ensures regulation with only 4.45 V input minimum) |
| Output Current | 1 A continuous (current-limited to 1.25–1.35 A for short-circuit protection) |
| Line Regulation | ≤6 mV (input variation from 4.75–10 V causes ≤6 mV output shift) |
| Load Regulation | ≤10 mV (output shifts ≤10 mV from 10 mA to 1 A load) |
| PSRR | ≥60 dB at 120 Hz (rejects 1 kHz–10 kHz ripple by >1000× amplitude ratio) |
| Thermal Resistance θJC | 17 °C/W (enables ~5.9 W max power dissipation before thermal shutdown at TA = 25°C) |
Pinout & Package

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: INPUT | Regulator input supply | Accepts 4.75–15 V DC; requires local 10 µF ceramic input capacitor for stability |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MIC29302WU-3.3 | Higher dropout (0.4 V typical at 3 A), higher quiescent current (30 mA), TO263-3 package | Supports 3 A load but requires larger heatsink; less suitable for 1 A space-constrained designs | Select when >1 A output or lower dropout at light loads is required; verify thermal layout for TO263 |
| TLV1117-33CDCYR | Lower max current (800 mA), tighter initial accuracy (±1%), SOT-223 package, higher θJA (120°C/W) | Not rated for 1 A continuous; limited to low-power MCU subsystems with minimal copper area | Choose only for cost-sensitive, low-current (<800 mA) applications where TO252 thermal performance is unnecessary |
Compared with MIC29302WU-3.3 and TLV1117-33CDCYR, the AZ1117D-3.3TRE1 uniquely balances 1 A capability, TO252-2 (3) thermal efficiency (θJC = 17°C/W), and ±1% accuracy in a RoHS-compliant, production-proven footprint - making it optimal for industrial 3.3 V rails requiring reliability without overdesign.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AZ1117D-3.3TRE1 to maintain regulation at 1 A?
The minimum input voltage is 4.45 V, calculated as VOUT + VDROP = 3.3 V + 1.15 V. At 1 A load and TJ = +25°C, dropout is guaranteed ≤1.25 V per datasheet, so 4.55 V ensures margin. Operation below 4.45 V results in unregulated output proportional to VIN.
Can AZ1117D-3.3TRE1 be used with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, but only low-ESR types rated ≥22 µF and with ≥5 mΩ effective series resistance. The datasheet specifies 22 µF tantalum as default; ceramic capacitors require careful selection to avoid instability - Diodes Inc. recommends verifying phase margin with 100 nF–1 µF ceramic plus 22 µF bulk capacitance.
Does AZ1117D-3.3TRE1 require an input bypass capacitor?
Yes, a minimum 10 µF ceramic capacitor placed within 5 mm of the INPUT and GND pins is mandatory. This suppresses high-frequency noise from upstream converters and prevents oscillation due to trace inductance; omitting it risks output instability and increased ripple.
Is AZ1117D-3.3TRE1 pin-compatible with other AZ1117 variants in TO252-2 (3)?
Yes - all AZ1117 variants in TO252-2 (3) (e.g., AZ1117D-ADJTRE1, AZ1117D-5.0TRE1) share identical pinout (INPUT–GND–OUTPUT) and footprint. Only the output voltage and marking differ; no PCB redesign is needed when substituting fixed-voltage versions.
