Product details
Overview
AZ1117R-3.3TRE1 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 3.3V, 1A low-dropout linear regulator in SOT89 package, featuring 1.15V dropout at full load, ±1% output voltage accuracy over temperature and load, integrated thermal shutdown and current limiting, and operation from −40°C to +125°C junction temperature - used for stable 3.3V supply in PC motherboard VRMs and peripheral power rails.
For engineers reviewing the AZ1117R-3.3TRE1 datasheet, AZ1117R-3.3TRE1 pinout, AZ1117R-3.3TRE1 application, or AZ1117R-3.3TRE1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 1A, output accuracy tolerance, thermal resistance (θJA = 165°C/W), SOT89 pin compatibility with legacy LDO footprints, and RoHS-compliant lead-free construction.
Technical Context
The AZ1117R-3.3TRE1 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 and 10mA–1A load range.
It operates as a three-terminal fixed-voltage regulator with no external feedback components required. Dropout behavior is characterized at ∆VOUT = 1%, with VIN minimum of 4.75V for full 1A output at 3.3V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.3V ±1% (10mA–1A, −40°C to +125°C) - guarantees logic-level compliance for 3.3V digital ICs without recalibration. |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.15V at 1A - enables regulation from 4.45V input, supporting single-cell LiFePO4 or 5V rail derating. |
| Load Regulation | ≤10mV (10mA to 1A) - maintains stable voltage under dynamic CPU/GPU core load transients. |
| Ripple Rejection | 60–75dB at 120Hz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at +150°C junction temperature with +25°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Quiescent Current | 5–10mA - minimizes no-load power loss in always-on system rails like RTC or standby domains. |
| Package Thermal Resistance | θJA = 165°C/W (SOT89) - defines maximum power dissipation (≈450mW at TA = 70°C) before thermal limiting engages. |
Pinout & Package
SOT89-3 package: surface-mount, 3-pin, single-row, exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected), JEDEC MO-203AA compliant. Pin 1 = OUTPUT, Pin 2 = INPUT, Pin 3 = GND.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (OUTPUT) | Regulated 3.3V output node | Connects directly to load capacitance (≥10µF ceramic/tantalum); requires low-ESR capacitor for stability and transient response. |
| Pin 2 (INPUT) | Unregulated input supply input | Must be ≥4.75V and ≤15V; requires local 1µF ceramic decoupling close to pin to suppress high-frequency noise. |
| Pin 3 (GND) | Power ground reference | Shared return path for input and output capacitors; must connect to low-impedance ground plane to minimize noise coupling and thermal resistance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 3.3V output | Eliminates external resistor divider, reducing BOM count and layout area versus adjustable LDOs. |
| 1.15V dropout @ 1A | Enables higher efficiency than legacy 78xx regulators in 5V-to-3.3V conversion, lowering heat sink requirements. |
| ±1% output accuracy | Meets tight tolerance requirements for FPGA I/O banks, DDR memory termination, and USB PHY supplies. |
| Integrated thermal shutdown | Self-protects during solder reflow, short-circuit events, or ambient temperature excursions without external circuitry. |
| Lead-free & RoHS compliant | Meets EU Directive 2015/863/EU (RoHS 3); compatible with standard Pb-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-output LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MIC29302-3.3WT | Higher dropout (0.4V typ. @ 3A), TO220-5 package, 0.2% initial accuracy | Supports higher current (3A) but requires larger footprint and heatsink; better for high-power analog sections | Select when >1A continuous load or tighter initial accuracy is required; not drop-in due to pinout and thermal design differences |
| AP2204K-3.3TRG1 | Lower IQ (1.5µA), SOT23-5 package, 2% accuracy, no thermal shutdown | Optimized for ultra-low-power battery-backed systems; lacks overtemperature protection | Choose only for always-off or energy-harvesting applications where thermal fault coverage is managed externally |
Compared with MIC29302-3.3WT and AP2204K-3.3TRG1, the AZ1117R-3.3TRE1 balances cost-effective SOT89 integration, guaranteed thermal safety, and precision suitable for industrial-grade embedded power - making it optimal for mid-current, reliability-critical 3.3V rails where space and protection are constrained.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AZ1117R-3.3TRE1 to maintain regulation at 1A?
The minimum input voltage is 4.75V, derived from the 3.3V nominal output plus the 1.15V dropout voltage at 1A load. Operation below this voltage causes output collapse; datasheet specifies VIN ≥ 4.75V for full 1A output across temperature and process variation.
Can AZ1117R-3.3TRE1 replace older AZ1117-3.3 versions in existing designs?
Yes - AZ1117R-3.3TRE1 is a direct replacement for prior SOT89-packaged AZ1117-3.3 variants, retaining identical pinout, electrical specs, and thermal characteristics. The "R" denotes SOT89 package and "TRE1" confirms RoHS-compliant tape-and-reel packaging.
Is an input capacitor mandatory, and what value is recommended?
Yes, a minimum 1µF ceramic capacitor is required at the INPUT pin to ensure stability and suppress high-frequency noise. Diodes recommends X5R/X7R dielectric with ≤100mΩ ESR; placement within 2mm of the pin is critical to prevent oscillation under transient loads.
Does AZ1117R-3.3TRE1 support reverse-voltage protection?
No - the device lacks intrinsic reverse-battery or reverse-polarity protection. Applying negative voltage to INPUT or OUTPUT relative to GND may cause latch-up or permanent damage. External series diode or MOSFET-based protection must be added if reverse polarity is possible in the system.
