Product details
Overview
AZ1117R-ADJTRG1 from BCD Semiconductor Manufacturing Limited is an adjustable low-dropout linear regulator delivering up to 1 A output current with 1.15 V dropout at full load, ±1% output voltage accuracy (via external resistor divider), and integrated thermal shutdown and current limiting. It operates across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature and is used in point-of-load regulation for FPGA I/O banks, USB peripheral power rails, and embedded microcontroller core supplies.
For engineers reviewing the AZ1117R-ADJTRG1 datasheet, AZ1117R-ADJTRG1 pinout, AZ1117R-ADJTRG1 application, or AZ1117R-ADJTRG1 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed SOT-89 package mapping, real-world application constraints, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts with documented functional differences.
Technical Context
The AZ1117R-ADJTRG1 implements a bandgap-referenced error amplifier driving an NPN pass transistor, enabling precise output voltage control via external R1/R2 feedback network. Its trimmed reference voltage (1.250 V typical) sets the minimum output at 1.25 V and supports up to 12 V with appropriate resistor selection.
Thermal protection activates at 150°C junction temperature with 25°C hysteresis, while current limiting is factory-trimmed to 1.25–1.35 A under VIN–VOUT = 2 V conditions. Quiescent current remains stable at 5–10 mA across operating conditions, supporting low-power standby modes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 1 A maximum continuous - supports high-current digital loads like SoC I/O domains without derating at 25°C ambient. |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.15 V at 1 A - enables regulation from 2.4 V input to 1.25 V output, critical for battery-powered 3.3 V/2.5 V system rails. |
| Reference Voltage | 1.250 V ±1% - defines minimum output and determines feedback resistor ratio precision; enables ±1% final VOUT with 0.1% R1/R2 tolerance. |
| Line Regulation | 0.035–0.2% - limits output drift under input voltage variation (e.g., 3.0–10 V VIN), essential for stable ADC reference supplies. |
| Ripple Rejection | 60–75 dB at 120 Hz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters, preserving analog signal integrity. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C activation with 25°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking in enclosed enclosures. |
| Adjust Pin Current | 60–120 µA - introduces <1 mV error in VOUT when R2 > 10 kΩ; must be accounted for in precision feedback design. |
Pinout & Package
The AZ1117R-ADJTRG1 is housed in a green, lead-free SOT-89 package (3-pin, surface-mount, single-ended heat tab). Thermal resistance θJA is 165°C/W without heatsink; PCB copper area under tab significantly improves dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Tab) | Input (VIN) | Main power input terminal; connects to upstream supply (e.g., 5 V DC/DC output); tab serves as primary thermal path and electrical ground return for internal circuitry. |
| 2 | Output (VOUT) | Regulated output node; requires ≥10 µF ceramic or tantalum input capacitor and ≥22 µF output capacitor for stability per datasheet Figure 16. |
| 3 | Adjust (ADJ) | Feedback reference node; connected to voltage divider (R1–R2) between VOUT and GND; sets output as VOUT = VREF × (1 + R2/R1) + IADJ × R2. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low dropout operation | 1.15 V at 1 A enables use with 3.3 V input to generate 2.5 V or 1.8 V rails where traditional 78xx regulators fail. |
| Factory-trimmed current limit | 1.25–1.35 A ensures predictable short-circuit behavior and simplifies overcurrent protection design without external sensing. |
| Integrated thermal shutdown | 150°C trip with 25°C hysteresis provides autonomous recovery after fault removal-no external thermal monitor required. |
| ±1% output accuracy (adjustable) | Guaranteed over temperature and line/load - eliminates need for post-manufacturing calibration in industrial sensor modules. |
| Wide operating junction range | –40°C to +125°C allows deployment in automotive engine-control ECUs and outdoor telecom base station power stages. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar adjustable LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MIC29302WU | Fixed 3.0 V or 3.3 V only; no adjustable version; higher dropout (0.4 V @ 3 A) but rated for 3 A output. | Not suitable for variable-output designs; better for high-current fixed-rail applications like PCIe slot power. | Select only if fixed 3.3 V output and >1 A load are required; not drop-in for AZ1117R-ADJTRG1's adjustable function. |
| LD1117S33TR | Fixed 3.3 V output; same SOT-223 package; 1.2 V dropout at 1 A; ±2% output tolerance vs. AZ1117's ±1%. | Lacks adjustability; requires redesign of feedback network; lower accuracy impacts precision analog supplies. | Use only when 3.3 V is sufficient and cost sensitivity outweighs need for programmability and tighter regulation. |
Compared with MIC29302WU and LD1117S33TR, AZ1117R-ADJTRG1 uniquely supports user-defined output voltages from 1.25 V to 12 V in SOT-89, with ±1% accuracy and thermal hysteresis-making it optimal for multi-rail embedded systems requiring flexibility and precision.

FAQ
What is the minimum load current required for stable operation of AZ1117R-ADJTRG1?
The AZ1117R-ADJTRG1 requires a minimum load current of 1.7–5 mA across –40°C to +125°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This ensures proper biasing of the internal error amplifier and prevents output voltage overshoot during light-load transients. Below this threshold, output regulation may degrade or oscillate.
Can AZ1117R-ADJTRG1 be used with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, the AZ1117R-ADJTRG1 is stable with ceramic output capacitors ≥10 µF, provided ESR is ≥15 mΩ. The datasheet recommends ≥22 µF tantalum or aluminum electrolytic for guaranteed stability, but ceramic caps with appropriate ESR (e.g., X5R/X7R with 0805 or larger case size) are widely used in practice with proper layout.
How does the adjust pin current affect output voltage accuracy?
The adjust pin draws 60–120 µA, which flows through R2 in the feedback divider and adds an offset term: VOUT = VREF × (1 + R2/R1) + IADJ × R2. For R2 = 10 kΩ, this contributes up to 1.2 mV error-negligible for 3.3 V outputs but significant for 1.25 V designs; use lower R2 values or compensate in resistor selection.
Is AZ1117R-ADJTRG1 RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, the "G1" suffix denotes BCD Semiconductor's green packaging: lead-free (RoHS-compliant) and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. The device meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level MSL3 and is qualified for reflow soldering up to 260°C peak temperature.
