Product details
Overview
AZ1117ID-1.8TRG1 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 1.8 V low-dropout linear regulator in TO252-2 package, delivering up to 1.35 A with ±1% output voltage accuracy, 1.3 V typical dropout at 0.8 A, and integrated thermal shutdown. It serves as a primary post-regulator for FPGA core supplies, USB peripheral power rails, and industrial microcontroller I/O domains requiring stable low-voltage bias under transient load.
For engineers reviewing the AZ1117ID-1.8TRG1 datasheet, AZ1117ID-1.8TRG1 pinout, AZ1117ID-1.8TRG1 application, or AZ1117ID-1.8TRG1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 1 A, PSRR at 120 Hz, thermal resistance (θJA = 100 °C/W), RMS output noise (0.003% of VOUT), and compatibility with ceramic capacitors down to 10 µF.
Technical Context
The AZ1117ID-1.8TRG1 uses an internal trimmed bandgap reference and PNP pass transistor architecture to maintain regulation across -40°C to +125°C junction temperature. Its current-limit circuit triggers at 1.35 A (typ), and thermal shutdown activates at +160°C with +16°C hysteresis.
It operates with input voltages up to 15 V and requires only a 10 µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor on the output. The device achieves 70 dB PSRR at 120 Hz with 22 µF output capacitance and exhibits 0.5% temperature stability over full operating range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.8 V ±1% - ensures stable core logic supply for 1.8 V I/O standards without external feedback network |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.3 V (max) at 0.8 A - enables operation from 3.1 V input, critical for battery-powered systems with aging cells |
| PSRR | 70 dB at 120 Hz - suppresses ripple from upstream switching converters feeding sensitive analog or RF subsystems |
| RMS Output Noise | 0.003% of VOUT (10 Hz–10 kHz) - delivers clean bias for precision ADC references and PLL VCO supplies |
| Thermal Shutdown | +160°C activation with +16°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking |
| Quiescent Current | 6 mA (max) - minimizes standby power loss in always-on industrial control modules |
| Operating Junction Temp | -40°C to +125°C - supports deployment in automotive engine compartments and industrial motor drives |
Pinout & Package
TO252-2 (Type CJ) package with exposed thermal pad for enhanced heat dissipation; θJA = 100 °C/W (no heatsink), θJC = 10 °C/W; RoHS-compliant matte tin plating; moisture sensitivity level 3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (INPUT) | Unregulated input supply connection | Accepts 3.1 V to 15 V; must be decoupled with ≥10 µF ceramic capacitor near pin |
| 2 (OUTPUT) | Regulated 1.8 V output node | Drives load up to 1.35 A; requires ≥10 µF low-ESR ceramic output capacitor (ESR < 20 Ω) |
| 3 (GND) | Ground reference and thermal path | Connected to PCB ground plane and thermal pad; critical for thermal performance and noise rejection |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 1.8 V output | Eliminates external resistor divider, reducing BOM count and layout area for space-constrained PCBs |
| Low-noise regulation | 0.003% RMS output noise enables direct powering of high-resolution SAR ADCs without additional LDO filtering |
| Ceramic capacitor compatible | Stable with 10 µF X5R/X7R ceramics - avoids costly tantalum or electrolytic capacitors and improves reliability |
| Industrial temperature range | -40°C to +125°C operation supports deployment in DIN-rail PLCs, outdoor telecom equipment, and factory automation nodes |
| Thermal protection | Integrated shutdown + hysteresis prevents thermal runaway during short-circuit or ambient temperature excursions |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for stable 1.8 V output at 1 A load?
The AZ1117ID-1.8TRG1 requires VIN ≥ VOUT + VDROP. At 1 A, maximum dropout is 1.4 V (per datasheet, TO252-2). Thus, minimum input is 3.2 V. For reliable margin, use ≥3.5 V input to accommodate line tolerance and PCB drop.
Can this device replace the AZ1117IH-1.8TRG1 in existing SOT223 designs?
No-AZ1117ID-1.8TRG1 uses TO252-2 package (θJA = 100 °C/W), while AZ1117IH-1.8TRG1 uses SOT223 (θJA = 125 °C/W). Pinout is identical, but thermal pad layout, solder stencil, and PCB footprint differ. Direct replacement requires board revision.
Is an input capacitor mandatory, and what value is recommended?
Yes-an input capacitor is mandatory for stability and transient response. Diodes recommends ≥10 µF low-ESR ceramic (X5R/X7R) placed within 5 mm of INPUT and GND pins. Larger values (e.g., 22 µF) improve ripple rejection at low frequencies.
Does the device require a minimum load current to maintain regulation?
Yes-the AZ1117ID-1.8TRG1 specifies a minimum load current of 1.7 mA (typ) at +25°C. Below this, output voltage may rise slightly above nominal. For zero-load applications, add a 1 kΩ bleed resistor (1.8 mA) from OUTPUT to GND.
