Product details
Overview
AZ1117H-ADJTRE1 from Diodes Incorporated is an adjustable low-dropout linear regulator delivering 1A output current with 1.15V dropout at full load, ±1% reference voltage accuracy (1.25V), and integrated thermal shutdown and current limiting. It operates across –40°C to +125°C and is commonly used in PC motherboard VRM post-regulation stages where precise, stable 1.25–12V biasing is required.
For engineers reviewing the AZ1117H-ADJTRE1 datasheet, AZ1117H-ADJTRE1 pinout, AZ1117H-ADJTRE1 application, or AZ1117H-ADJTRE1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 1A, adjust pin current (≤120 µA), minimum load requirement (1.7–5 mA), thermal resistance in SOT223 (θJA = 120°C/W), and compatibility with standard 2-resistor feedback networks for custom output voltages.
Technical Context
The AZ1117H-ADJTRE1 implements a bandgap-referenced error amplifier driving a PNP pass transistor, enabling stable regulation with only two external resistors for output voltage programming. Its trimmed reference ensures 1.238–1.270 V tolerance over temperature and load.
Internal protection includes foldback current limiting (1.25–1.35 A) and thermal shutdown activation at +150°C with +25°C hysteresis. The device requires no external compensation and maintains ≥60 dB ripple rejection at 120 Hz with 22 µF tantalum output capacitance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 1 A maximum continuous - supports single-rail power delivery for microcontrollers or FPGAs requiring stable low-noise supply. |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.15 V at 1 A - enables operation from 5 V input to 3.3 V output with margin, critical for battery-powered or multi-rail systems. |
| Reference Voltage | 1.250 V ±1% - sets output precision via R1/R2 divider; enables 1.25–12 V programmability with <0.4% load regulation error. |
| Adjust Pin Current | 60–120 µA - limits resistor-divider power loss and improves light-load efficiency in adjustable configurations. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at +150°C junction temperature - protects against sustained overload or inadequate heatsinking in compact SOT223 packages. |
| Ripple Rejection | 60–75 dB at 120 Hz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding the LDO's input. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for industrial and embedded applications without derating up to max ambient. |
Pinout & Package
Supplied in RoHS-compliant SOT223 package (3-pin, surface-mount, exposed thermal pad). Thermal resistance θJA = 120°C/W (no heatsink); θJC = 25°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1: OUTPUT | Regulated output node | Delivers stabilized voltage; requires ≥10 µF ceramic/tantalum capacitor for stability and transient response. |
| Pin 2: INPUT | Unregulated input supply | Accepts up to 20 V; must exceed VOUT by ≥1.15 V at 1 A to maintain regulation. |
| Pin 3: ADJ | Feedback reference node | Connects to resistor divider; 1.25 V reference applied here determines output: VOUT = 1.25 × (1 + R2/R1) + IADJ×R2. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low dropout at full load | 1.15 V @ 1 A - minimizes power loss and heat generation in space-constrained SOT223 layout. |
| Trimmed bandgap reference | ±1% accuracy over temperature and load - eliminates need for post-production calibration in precision analog subsystems. |
| Integrated protection | Current limit + thermal shutdown - prevents damage during short-circuit or thermal runaway without external circuitry. |
| Adjustable output range | 1.25 V to 12 V - supports diverse rail requirements using only two resistors, reducing BOM count vs. fixed-voltage variants. |
| Lead-free & RoHS compliant | SOT223 package meets EU Directive 2015/863/EU - suitable for global industrial and consumer product certifications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar adjustable LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MIC29302WU | Higher dropout (0.4 V typical at 3 A), but rated for 3 A output; TO263 package; higher quiescent current (45 mA). | Better suited for high-current, low-input-margin designs; less optimal for SOT223 space-constrained layouts. | Select when >1 A output or lower dropout at lighter loads is required; verify thermal design for SOT223 replacement. |
| LD1117S33TR | Fixed 3.3 V output only; same SOT223 package; 1.2 V dropout at 800 mA; STMicroelectronics part. | Not adjustable; limited to single-rail use; lacks ADJ pin flexibility for multi-voltage systems. | Choose only if fixed 3.3 V suffices and cost sensitivity outweighs configurability needs. |
Compared with MIC29302WU and LD1117S33TR, the AZ1117H-ADJTRE1 uniquely balances 1 A capability, true adjustability, SOT223 footprint, and sub-1.2 V dropout-making it optimal for compact, multi-rail embedded systems requiring design flexibility without sacrificing thermal performance.

FAQ
What is the minimum load current required for stable operation of AZ1117H-ADJTRE1?
The AZ1117H-ADJTRE1 requires a minimum load current of 1.7–5 mA depending on junction temperature, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table for the ADJ version. This ensures proper biasing of the internal error amplifier and prevents output voltage drift or oscillation, especially at light loads or elevated temperatures.
Can AZ1117H-ADJTRE1 be used with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, the AZ1117H-ADJTRE1 is stable with ceramic output capacitors ≥10 µF, provided ESR is ≥15 mΩ. Unlike older LDOs, it does not require high-ESR tantalum capacitors; however, adding a 1–10 Ω damping resistor in series with the capacitor may improve transient response in high-dV/dt applications.
How does thermal shutdown hysteresis affect system behavior during overload?
The AZ1117H-ADJTRE1 shuts down at +150°C junction temperature and re-enables only after cooling by +25°C (to ~+125°C), preventing rapid cycling during sustained overload. This hysteresis ensures safe cooldown before restart, avoiding thermal stress on the die and downstream components in enclosed or poorly ventilated enclosures.
What is the impact of adjust pin current (IADJ) on output voltage accuracy?
IADJ (60–120 µA) flows through the R2 resistor in the feedback divider, introducing a voltage error term (IADJ × R2) that shifts VOUT beyond the ideal 1.25 × (1 + R2/R1) equation. To limit this error to <1%, R2 should be ≤10 kΩ; higher values degrade accuracy and increase sensitivity to IADJ variation over temperature.
