Product details
Overview
AZ1117EH-1.2TRG1 from Diodes Incorporated is a 1.2V fixed-output, 1.0A low-dropout linear regulator in SOT-223 package, featuring ±1% output voltage accuracy (96–104% of nominal), 1.1V typical dropout at 1A, and integrated thermal shutdown and current limit protection. It delivers stable local regulation for low-voltage logic rails in space-constrained consumer electronics.
For engineers reviewing the AZ1117EH-1.2TRG1 datasheet, AZ1117EH-1.2TRG1 pinout, AZ1117EH-1.2TRG1 application, or AZ1117EH-1.2TRG1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage under full load, output accuracy across temperature, stability with low-ESR ceramic capacitors, and thermal performance in SOT-223 PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The AZ1117EH-1.2TRG1 uses an internal trimmed bandgap reference to maintain output voltage accuracy within ±1% over -40°C to +125°C junction temperature. Its quiescent current remains stable at 3.5mA (typ.) across load and input conditions, enabling predictable power budgeting in always-on subsystems.
Designed for transient-sensitive low-voltage systems, it achieves 0.001%/V line regulation (typ.) and 0.2%/A load regulation (typ.), and supports stable operation with 1.0µF ceramic input/output capacitors having ESR <1.5Ω - eliminating need for electrolytic or tantalum alternatives.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.2V fixed, ±1% tolerance (96–104% of nominal) ensures reliable core voltage for 1.2V I/O or logic rails |
| Max Output Current | 1.0A continuous, with 1.3A typical current limit enables robust supply for FPGA I/O banks or microcontroller peripherals |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.1V typical at 1A load allows operation from 2.3V input - critical for single-cell Li-ion or 3.3V rail derivation |
| PSRR | 70dB at 1kHz suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding sensitive analog or RF sections |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at +170°C with +20°C hysteresis prevents latch-up during sustained overload or poor heatsinking |
| Quiescent Current | 3.5mA typical enables low-power standby modes without compromising regulation integrity |
| Operating Junction Temp | -40°C to +125°C supports deployment in industrial enclosures and automotive cabin environments |
Pinout & Package
Supplied in industry-standard SOT-223 package with exposed thermal pad (pin 2 connected to die attach paddle). Thermal resistance θJA = 65°C/W on 2-layer FR-4 PCB with 8×0.5mm vias to inner ground plane.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | ADJ/GND | Ground return path for regulator feedback loop; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling into reference node |
| 2 | OUTPUT | Main regulated output terminal; connects directly to load and output capacitor; requires shortest possible trace to reduce inductance |
| 3 | INPUT | Unregulated input supply; must be decoupled with ≥1.0µF ceramic capacitor placed within 3mm of pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Stable with Low-ESR MLCC | Guaranteed stability using 1.0µF ceramic capacitors (ESR <1.5Ω), eliminating bulkier, less reliable alternatives |
| Trimmed Bandgap Reference | Ensures ±1% output accuracy across temperature and load - critical for precision analog sensor interfaces |
| Integrated Protection | Combines current limit (1.3A typ.) and thermal shutdown (+170°C) to prevent damage during fault conditions |
| Low Output Noise | 0.003V RMS (10Hz–100kHz) minimizes interference in audio codec or ADC reference supplies |
| Green Compliance | Fully RoHS 3 compliant, halogen- and antimony-free per Diodes' "Green" definition (<900ppm Br/Cl, <1000ppm Sb) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-dropout linear regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP1117E12G-13 | Same 1.2V fixed output, but ±2% accuracy (vs. ±1%) and 1.2V dropout at 1A (vs. 1.1V) | Lacks guaranteed stability with 1.0µF ceramic output cap; requires ≥10µF tantalum for stability | Acceptable where cost sensitivity outweighs precision and capacitor footprint constraints |
| TLV1117-12CDCYR | 1.2V fixed, ±1% accuracy, but 1.2V dropout at 800mA (not rated at 1A); IQ = 5mA (vs. 3.5mA) | Specified only up to +125°C ambient (not junction); no thermal hysteresis spec | Suitable for lower-current applications (<800mA) where TI's qualification pedigree is required |
Compared with AP1117E12G-13 and TLV1117-12CDCYR, the AZ1117EH-1.2TRG1 offers tighter output accuracy, lower dropout at full load, and verified ceramic-capacitor stability - making it optimal for compact, thermally constrained 1.2V point-of-load designs.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for stable 1.2V output at 1A load?
The AZ1117EH-1.2TRG1 requires VIN ≥ VOUT + VDROP = 1.2V + 1.1V = 2.3V minimum for stable 1A operation. At lower loads, dropout decreases - e.g., ~0.9V at 500mA - allowing marginally lower input voltages in partial-load scenarios.
Can this LDO operate with only ceramic capacitors, and what ESR limits apply?
Yes - it is explicitly characterized for stability with 1.0µF ceramic input and output capacitors. The output capacitor ESR must be below 1.5Ω; values near 0Ω (typical for X5R/X7R MLCCs) are acceptable and recommended for lowest noise and best transient response.
Does the 1.2V version include internal feedback resistors, or is external adjustment needed?
The AZ1117EH-1.2TRG1 is a fixed-output variant with internal resistor divider - no external components are required for regulation. Pin 1 (ADJ/GND) serves solely as ground return; it is not adjustable and must be connected directly to system ground.
How does thermal shutdown behave during sustained overload, and is hysteresis specified?
Thermal shutdown activates at +170°C junction temperature and includes +20°C hysteresis, meaning the device resumes regulation only after cooling to ≤+150°C. This prevents rapid cycling during marginal thermal conditions and ensures safe cooldown before restart.
