Product details
Overview
AZ1117EH-ADJTRG1 from Diodes Incorporated is an adjustable low-dropout linear regulator delivering 1.0A output current with 1.25V reference voltage, 1.1V typical dropout at full load, ±1% output accuracy, and thermal shutdown protection. It operates across -40°C to +125°C junction temperature and is used in notebook power rails, STB voltage scaling, and LCD monitor bias supplies.
For engineers reviewing the AZ1117EH-ADJTRG1 datasheet, AZ1117EH-ADJTRG1 pinout, AZ1117EH-ADJTRG1 application, or AZ1117EH-ADJTRG1 equivalent, key selection criteria include adjustable output configuration (VOUT = 1.25V × (1 + R2/R1)), compatibility with low-ESR ceramic capacitors (≥1.0µF), and thermal shutdown activation at ~170°C.
Technical Context
The AZ1117EH-ADJTRG1 implements a bandgap-referenced error amplifier with internal current limiting and thermal foldback. Its ADJ pin draws only 45µA typical, enabling precise external resistor-based output programming while minimizing load regulation error.
Stability is ensured with output capacitors having ESR <1.5Ω and minimum 1.0µF capacitance; it achieves 70dB PSRR at 1kHz and maintains ±0.2%/A load regulation over 1mA–1A output range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 1.0A continuous - supports core logic rails and peripheral power domains |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.1V typ. @ 1A - enables operation from 3.3V input to 2.5V output or 5V input to 3.3V output |
| Reference Voltage | 1.25V ±1% - sets precision of externally adjusted output via resistor divider |
| Quiescent Current | 3.5mA - minimizes no-load power loss in always-on subsystems |
| PSRR | 70dB @ 1kHz - suppresses ripple from noisy switcher-derived input supplies |
| Thermal Shutdown | 170°C activation - protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for industrial and extended-temperature embedded applications |
Pinout & Package
Supplied in the industry-standard SOT-223 package with exposed thermal pad (pin 2 connected to die attach paddle), offering 40°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance and compatibility with standard PCB reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (ADJ/GND) | Adjust/Reference Return | Serves as ground reference for feedback divider; connects to GND in fixed versions, but floats for adjustable configuration |
| 2 (OUTPUT) | Regulated Output | Delivers stabilized voltage; requires ≥1.0µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin |
| 3 (INPUT) | Unregulated Input | Accepts 2.5V–13V supply; must be decoupled with ≥1.0µF ceramic capacitor near pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable Output Configuration | VOUT = 1.25V × (1 + R2/R1) + IADJ×R2 - enables custom voltages from 1.25V to ≤(VIN − 1.1V) with <5µA adjustment current error |
| Low-ESR Ceramic Stability | Stable with MLCCs ≥1.0µF and ESR <1.5Ω - eliminates need for tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors |
| High Accuracy Reference | 1.25V ±1% over -40°C to +125°C - ensures output tolerance remains within ±1.5% including resistor drift |
| Robust Protection | Integrated current limit (1.3A typ.) and thermal shutdown (170°C) - prevents latch-up during short-circuit or ambient overheating |
| Low Noise Performance | 3mV RMS noise (10Hz–100kHz) - suitable for analog sensor biasing and ADC reference supplies |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar adjustable LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MIC29302AWU | 2.5A output, 0.4V dropout, TO-263 package - higher current, lower dropout, larger footprint | Used where >1A load or <3.3V input headroom is required | Select when thermal design permits TO-263 and 2.5A capability is needed |
| AP1117E12G-13 | Fixed 1.2V version, same SOT-223 package, identical thermal specs - no external resistors needed | Preferred for cost-sensitive, single-voltage designs without adjustment requirement | Choose for simplified BOM and layout when output voltage is fixed |
Compared with MIC29302AWU and AP1117E12G-13, the AZ1117EH-ADJTRG1 offers optimal balance of adjustability, SOT-223 footprint, and 1.0A capability-ideal for space-constrained designs needing flexible output voltage without sacrificing thermal performance or noise immunity.

FAQ
What is the minimum load current required for stable operation of AZ1117EH-ADJTRG1?
The AZ1117EH-ADJTRG1 requires a minimum load current of 2mA to maintain regulation stability across temperature. This is due to internal biasing requirements of the error amplifier and reference circuit. Below this threshold, output voltage may rise above nominal due to reduced feedback loop gain; adding a 1kΩ–5kΩ bleed resistor from OUTPUT to GND ensures compliance.
Can AZ1117EH-ADJTRG1 be used with ceramic capacitors smaller than 1.0µF?
No-Diodes specifies a minimum 1.0µF ceramic capacitor on both input and output for stability. Using smaller values risks oscillation or degraded transient response. If space constraints require smaller footprints, parallel a 0.68µF capacitor with a 0.1µF unit placed ≥5mm from the OUTPUT pin, per datasheet Note 4.
How does the ADJ pin current affect output voltage accuracy?
The ADJ pin draws 45µA typical (max 90µA), introducing a small offset error in the feedback divider: VOUT = 1.25V × (1 + R2/R1) + IADJ×R2. For R2 = 10kΩ, this adds up to 0.45V error-so R2 should be ≤2.2kΩ to hold error <1%. The datasheet recommends R1 = 330Ω to minimize this effect.
Is AZ1117EH-ADJTRG1 pin-compatible with older AZ1117 versions?
Yes-AZ1117EH-ADJTRG1 uses the same SOT-223 pinout and electrical specifications as prior AZ1117E revisions. However, it supersedes obsolete AZ1117E variants; Diodes recommends verifying thermal layout compatibility due to updated thermal resistance characterization (θJA = 65°C/W on specified 2oz FR-4 board).
