Product details
Overview
AZ1117R-1.2TRE1 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 1.2 V, 1 A low-dropout linear regulator in SOT89 package, featuring 1.15 V dropout at full load, ±2% output voltage accuracy, and integrated thermal shutdown and current limiting. It delivers stable bias for low-voltage logic rails in space-constrained embedded power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the AZ1117R-1.2TRE1 datasheet, AZ1117R-1.2TRE1 pinout, AZ1117R-1.2TRE1 application, or AZ1117R-1.2TRE1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 1 A, thermal resistance in SOT89, load regulation under 10 mV, quiescent current below 10 mA, and RoHS-compliant lead-free packaging.
Technical Context
The AZ1117R-1.2TRE1 uses a trimmed bandgap reference to maintain 1.2 V output within ±2% over temperature and load. Its internal current limit is factory-trimmed to 1.25–1.35 A, ensuring consistent short-circuit protection without external components.
Thermal shutdown activates at +150 °C junction temperature with +25 °C hysteresis, and the device operates across –40 °C to +125 °C ambient. Input voltage range is 3.0 V to 10 V, supporting common intermediate bus voltages feeding 1.2 V core logic.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.2 V ±2% (guaranteed over 10 mA–1 A load and –40 °C to +125 °C) |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.15 V at 1 A (enables operation from 3.0 V input to deliver 1.2 V output) |
| Load Regulation | ≤10 mV (ensures <0.83% output deviation from 10 mA to 1 A load) |
| Quiescent Current | 5–10 mA (minimizes no-load power loss in always-on subsystems) |
| Ripple Rejection | 60–75 dB at 120 Hz (suppresses upstream switching noise in mixed-signal rails) |
| Thermal Shutdown | Triggers at +150 °C junction, +25 °C hysteresis (prevents permanent damage during overload) |
| Package | SOT89 (3-pin, surface-mount, θJA = 165 °C/W, footprint compatible with legacy designs) |
Pinout & Package
SOT89 package: 3-pin, single-ended, surface-mount plastic package with exposed thermal pad (pin 2 is input, pin 3 is ground, pin 1 is output). Thermal resistance θJA = 165 °C/W without heatsink.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT) | Regulated Output | Delivers stable 1.2 V to load; requires ≥10 µF ceramic or tantalum output capacitor for stability |
| 2 (IN) | Input Supply | Accepts 3.0–10 V DC; must be decoupled with ≥1 µF capacitor near pin |
| 3 (GND) | Ground Reference | Common return path for input, output, and internal circuitry; connects to thermal pad for heat dissipation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low dropout voltage | 1.15 V at 1 A enables use with 3.3 V or 5 V input rails to generate 1.2 V efficiently |
| Factory-trimmed current limit | 1.25–1.35 A ensures predictable short-circuit behavior without external sensing |
| On-chip thermal shutdown | +150 °C activation with +25 °C hysteresis provides autonomous fault recovery in sealed enclosures |
| ±2% output accuracy | Meets tight tolerance requirements for FPGA core voltage and microcontroller I/O rails |
| Lead-free & RoHS compliant | Fully compliant with EU Directive 2015/863/EU; no intentionally added lead or halogens |
Applications
| PC Motherboard VRM Auxiliary Rail | LCD Monitor Logic Supply |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Isolated low-power supply for sensitive analog sections, separated from digital switching noise. Use Value: 60 dB PSRR at 120 Hz rejects transformer-coupled mains interference; –40 °C to +125 °C rating supports unventilated indoor deployment. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MIC29152-1.2WT | Higher dropout (1.4 V at 1.5 A), TO220-3 package, 0.5% initial accuracy | Requires larger PCB area and heatsinking; better for high-ambient industrial environments | Select when tighter initial accuracy and higher thermal mass are prioritized over footprint size |
| AP2112K-1.2TRG1 | Lower quiescent current (60 µA), SOT23-5 package, 1.5% accuracy, 0.6 V dropout at 600 mA | Not rated for 1 A continuous; suited for ultra-low-power standby rails, not main logic supplies | Choose only for sub-600 mA loads where sleep-mode current dominates system budget |
Compared with MIC29152-1.2WT and AP2112K-1.2TRG1, the AZ1117R-1.2TRE1 uniquely balances 1 A capability, SOT89 compactness, and ±2% accuracy-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained 1.2 V logic rails where thermal management is feasible via PCB copper pour.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for AZ1117R-1.2TRE1?
The absolute maximum input voltage is 20 V, but the recommended operating maximum is 10 V per the datasheet's Electrical Characteristics table. Exceeding 10 V risks exceeding safe power dissipation limits in the SOT89 package, especially at high ambient temperatures or full 1 A load.
Does AZ1117R-1.2TRE1 require an external capacitor on the output pin?
Yes-a minimum 10 µF output capacitor (tantalum or ceramic) is required for stability and transient response. The datasheet specifies 22 µF tantalum in typical applications; using less than 10 µF may cause oscillation or poor load-step recovery.
Is AZ1117R-1.2TRE1 pin-compatible with other AZ1117 variants in SOT89?
Yes-all SOT89-packaged AZ1117 variants (e.g., AZ1117R-3.3TRE1, AZ1117R-ADJTRE1) share identical pinout: Pin 1 = OUT, Pin 2 = IN, Pin 3 = GND. However, the adjustable version requires two external resistors and has different feedback behavior.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of AZ1117R-1.2TRE1 in SOT89?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is 165 °C/W for the SOT89 package with standard JEDEC 2-layer board layout (1 in² copper pad). This value assumes no external heatsink; adding thermal vias or larger copper pours can reduce effective θJA by up to 30%.
