Product details
Overview
AZ1117H-3.3TRG1 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 3.3V, 1A low-dropout linear regulator in SOT223 package, delivering ±1% output voltage accuracy at 25°C, 1.15V dropout at full load, and integrated thermal shutdown and current limiting. It serves as a primary post-regulation supply for microcontroller core logic, DDR memory termination, and USB PHY power rails in embedded computing systems.
For engineers reviewing the AZ1117H-3.3TRG1 datasheet, AZ1117H-3.3TRG1 pinout, AZ1117H-3.3TRG1 application, or AZ1117H-3.3TRG1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 1A, thermal resistance (θJA = 120°C/W), output voltage tolerance over temperature, PSRR at 120Hz, and minimum load current requirement in fixed-voltage configuration.
Technical Context
The AZ1117H-3.3TRG1 implements a bandgap-referenced error amplifier with internal current-limiting circuitry and thermal foldback protection. Its trimmed reference ensures 3.3V output remains within ±1% across -40°C to +125°C junction temperature range under 10mA–1A load conditions.
It operates with input voltages up to 15V and requires only two external capacitors: ≥10µF input and ≥22µF output (tantalum or ceramic). Dropout behavior is characterized at ∆VOUT = 1%, with 1.15V typical at IOUT = 1A and TJ = 25°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.3V ±1% (10mA–1A, -40°C to +125°C); enables stable MCU I/O and peripheral rail without external feedback. |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.15V at 1A (TJ = 25°C); supports operation from 4.45V input, critical for single-cell Li-ion or 5V bus post-regulation. |
| Load Regulation | ≤10mV (10mA → 1A); maintains tight voltage control during dynamic CPU load transitions. |
| Ripple Rejection | 75dB at 120Hz (COUT = 22µF tantalum); suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters. |
| Quiescent Current | 5–10mA (VIN = VOUT + 1.25V); minimizes no-load power loss in always-on subsystems. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at +150°C junction temperature with +25°C hysteresis; prevents permanent damage during sustained overload. |
| Package | SOT223; surface-mount, thermally enhanced 3-pin package with θJA = 120°C/W (no heatsink). |
Pinout & Package
SOT223 package: 3-pin surface-mount device with exposed thermal pad (pin 2 connected to GND internally in fixed versions). Pin 1 = OUTPUT, Pin 2 = GND, Pin 3 = INPUT.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | OUTPUT | Regulated 3.3V output node; requires ≥22µF low-ESR capacitor for stability and transient response. |
| Pin 2 | GND | Power ground reference and thermal conduction path; must be connected to large PCB copper area for heat dissipation. |
| Pin 3 | INPUT | Unregulated input (up to 15V); requires ≥10µF bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low dropout | 1.15V at 1A enables use with 5V bus or single-cell battery inputs while maintaining regulation margin. |
| Trimmed output accuracy | ±1% over temperature and load ensures reliable operation of 3.3V-tolerant interfaces (SPI, UART, SDIO) without calibration. |
| Integrated protection | Current limit (1.25–1.35A) and thermal shutdown prevent failure during short-circuit or high-ambient conditions. |
| Lead-free & RoHS compliant | Fully compliant with EU RoHS 2015/863/EU; suitable for consumer, industrial, and networking equipment. |
| Wide operating range | -40°C to +125°C junction temperature supports deployment in automotive cabin, industrial PLC, and telecom base station environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MIC29302WU-3.3 | Higher dropout (0.4V typ. @ 3A), higher quiescent current (15mA), TO263-5 package. | Better suited for high-current (>1.5A), low-thermal-resistance designs where board space permits larger package. | Select when >1A continuous load or lower θJA (<60°C/W) is required; not drop-in due to pinout and footprint mismatch. |
| AP2202K-3.3 | Lower current rating (300mA), smaller SOT23-5 package, no thermal shutdown, ±2% accuracy. | Targeted at ultra-low-power sensor nodes or auxiliary rails where size and cost outweigh performance needs. | Choose only for sub-300mA loads with relaxed accuracy and safety requirements; incompatible for 1A replacement. |
Compared with MIC29302WU-3.3 and AP2202K-3.3, the AZ1117H-3.3TRG1 delivers optimal balance of 1A capability, ±1% accuracy, and SOT223 thermal performance-making it preferred for mid-power embedded systems where reliability and proven field history matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for AZ1117H-3.3TRG1?
The absolute maximum input voltage is 20V, but the recommended operating maximum is 15V per the datasheet's Recommended Operating Conditions table. Exceeding 15V risks exceeding safe power dissipation limits in SOT223, especially above 25°C ambient, and may trigger thermal shutdown prematurely.
Does AZ1117H-3.3TRG1 require an external capacitor on the ADJ pin?
No - the AZ1117H-3.3TRG1 is a fixed-output variant; the ADJ pin is internally connected to GND and not accessible externally. Only input (≥10µF) and output (≥22µF) capacitors are required, with low ESR values recommended for stability and transient response.
Can AZ1117H-3.3TRG1 be used in parallel for higher current?
No - the AZ1117H-3.3TRG1 lacks built-in current-sharing features or master-slave control. Parallel connection without external ballast resistors causes unequal current distribution and potential thermal runaway; Diodes does not recommend or characterize this configuration.
Is AZ1117H-3.3TRG1 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes - it is qualified for operation from -40°C to +125°C junction temperature and meets AEC-Q100 stress test requirements for temperature cycling and HTOL when used within its specified electrical limits. However, system-level qualification (e.g., ISO 16750) remains the responsibility of the end designer.
