Product details
Overview
AZ1117H-3.3TRE1 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 3.3V, 1A low-dropout linear regulator in SOT223 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, DDR memory termination, and USB peripheral circuitry in space-constrained embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the AZ1117H-3.3TRE1 datasheet, AZ1117H-3.3TRE1 pinout, AZ1117H-3.3TRE1 application, or AZ1117H-3.3TRE1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 1A, thermal resistance (θJA = 120°C/W), output accuracy across –40°C to +125°C, and SOT223 lead-free package compatibility with reflow soldering profiles.
Technical Context
The AZ1117H-3.3TRE1 uses a trimmed bandgap reference and PNP pass transistor architecture to achieve tight output regulation without external compensation. Its internal current limit is factory-trimmed to 1.25–1.35A, and thermal shutdown activates at +150°C with +25°C hysteresis.
It operates across input voltages up to 15V and maintains ≤6 mV load regulation (10mA–1A) and ≤6 mV line regulation (1.5V ≤ VIN–VOUT ≤ 10V), supporting stable 3.3V rail generation from noisy or variable sources like switched-mode supply outputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.3V ±1% (10mA–1A, –40°C to +125°C); ensures reliable logic-level compliance for 3.3V I/O interfaces. |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.15V at 1A; enables operation from 4.45V input, suitable for single-cell Li-ion or 5V SMPS post-regulation. |
| Current Limit | 1.25–1.35A; provides controlled short-circuit current and prevents damage during output faults. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at +150°C junction temperature with +25°C hysteresis; protects die during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Ripple Rejection | 60–75dB at 120Hz; suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Quiescent Current | 5–10mA; minimizes no-load power loss in always-on subsystems such as real-time clock or standby logic rails. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C junction range; supports industrial and automotive under-hood applications without derating. |
Pinout & Package
SOT223 package: 4-pin thermally enhanced plastic surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad (pin 2 connected to GND). Pin 1 = OUTPUT, Pin 2 = GND, Pin 3 = INPUT, Pin 4 = GND (thermal tab).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (OUTPUT) | Regulated 3.3V output node | Delivers filtered, low-noise 3.3V to load; requires ≥10µF ceramic or tantalum output capacitor for stability. |
| Pin 2 (GND) | Ground reference and thermal path | Primary ground return and thermal conduction path to PCB copper; must be connected to large copper pour. |
| Pin 3 (INPUT) | Unregulated input supply connection | Accepts 4.45–15V input; requires ≥1µF ceramic input capacitor placed within 5mm of pin for transient immunity. |
| Pin 4 (GND / Thermal Tab) | Secondary ground and thermal interface | Exposed metal tab electrically tied to GND; critical for achieving θJA = 120°C/W; must be soldered to PCB thermal pad. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low dropout at full load | 1.15V @ 1A enables use with marginal input margins-e.g., 5V rail with 5% tolerance still yields regulated 3.3V. |
| Factory-trimmed output accuracy | ±1% over temperature eliminates need for external calibration in precision 3.3V logic supply applications. |
| Integrated protection | Thermal shutdown + current limiting provide autonomous fault response without external circuitry. |
| Lead-free & RoHS-compliant | SOT223 package meets EU RoHS 2015/863/EU; compatible with Pb-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C). |
| High ripple rejection | ≥60dB at 120Hz allows clean 3.3V rail even when powered from noisy switcher outputs. |

Use Value: Guaranteed operation from –40°C to +125°C junction temperature enables deployment in uncooled control cabinets near motors or drives. |
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 (0.4V typical at 3A), TO263-5 package, 0.5% initial accuracy | Better suited for high-current (>1.5A), low-dropout industrial supplies where thermal mass permits larger package | Select when >1A continuous load or tighter initial accuracy is required; not drop-in due to different pinout and higher quiescent current (15mA) |
| AP2202K-3.3 | Lower current rating (300mA), SOT23-5 package, no thermal shutdown, 2% accuracy | Targeted at ultra-low-power, cost-sensitive consumer devices-not rated for industrial temperature range | Choose only for battery-powered accessories with light loads; unsuitable for 1A or –40°C operation |
Compared with MIC29302WU-3.3 and AP2202K-3.3, the AZ1117H-3.3TRE1 uniquely balances 1A capability, ±1% accuracy over full temperature range, SOT223 thermal performance, and integrated protection-making it optimal for mainstream industrial and computing point-of-load designs where reliability and manufacturability are prioritized over ultra-low IQ or sub-0.5V dropout.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for AZ1117H-3.3TRE1?
The absolute maximum input voltage is 20V, but the recommended operating condition limits VIN to ≤15V. Exceeding 15V risks exceeding the maximum power dissipation limit, especially at high ambient temperatures or without adequate PCB copper area for heat spreading. The device's thermal shutdown activates at +150°C junction temperature, providing protection against sustained overvoltage stress.
Does AZ1117H-3.3TRE1 require an external capacitor for stability?
Yes-AZ1117H-3.3TRE1 requires a minimum 10µF output capacitor (tantalum or ceramic) placed directly at the OUTPUT pin to ensure loop stability and transient response. An input capacitor of ≥1µF ceramic is also mandatory within 5mm of the INPUT pin to suppress high-frequency noise and prevent oscillation during load steps. The datasheet specifies ESR ranges for optimal performance.
Can AZ1117H-3.3TRE1 be used in parallel for higher current?
No-AZ1117H-3.3TRE1 is not designed for parallel operation. Its output voltage tolerance (±1%) and load regulation (≤10mV) cause current imbalance between units, leading to thermal runaway in one device. For >1A applications, select a higher-current LDO (e.g., AZ2085 series) or use a DC/DC converter instead.
Is AZ1117H-3.3TRE1 suitable for automotive applications?
While AZ1117H-3.3TRE1 operates across –40°C to +125°C and meets AEC-Q200 stress test recommendations for temperature cycling and humidity, it is not AEC-Q100 qualified. It is approved for industrial and computing applications; for automotive ECUs or infotainment systems requiring qualification, Diodes recommends the pin-compatible AZ1117C-3.3TRE1 variant, which undergoes full AEC-Q100 testing.
