Product details
Overview
AZ1117S-3.3TRE1 from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 3.3V, 1A low-dropout linear regulator in SOT-223 package, delivering ±1% output voltage accuracy at 10mA–1A load, with 1.15V dropout at full current and integrated thermal shutdown. It serves as a primary post-regulation supply for microcontroller cores, DDR memory termination, and USB peripheral power in embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the AZ1117S-3.3TRE1 datasheet, AZ1117S-3.3TRE1 pinout, AZ1117S-3.3TRE1 application, or AZ1117S-3.3TRE1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 1A, thermal resistance (θJA = 120°C/W), output voltage tolerance over temperature, ripple rejection (75dB @ 120Hz), and SOT-223 thermal pad layout compatibility.
Technical Context
The AZ1117S-3.3TRE1 uses a trimmed bandgap reference and PNP pass transistor architecture to maintain stable 3.3V output across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature. Its internal current limit (1.25–1.35A) and thermal shutdown (trip at +150°C, +25°C hysteresis) operate independently of external components.
Unlike switching regulators, it requires no external compensation and achieves 0.003% RMS output noise (10Hz–10kHz) with only 10µF input and 22µF output tantalum capacitors. Load regulation remains within ±0.4% from 10mA to 1A at fixed 2V headroom.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.3V ±1% (10mA–1A, –40°C to +125°C); enables direct powering of 3.3V logic without trimming resistors |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.15V at 1A (ΔVOUT = 1%); supports operation from 4.45V input minimum in worst-case thermal conditions |
| Load Regulation | ±0.4% (10mA → 1A, VIN–VOUT = 2V); ensures stable rail under dynamic CPU/memory load transitions |
| Ripple Rejection | 75dB @ 120Hz (COUT = 22µF tantalum); suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at +150°C junction, +25°C hysteresis; prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking |
| Quiescent Current | 5–10mA (VIN = VOUT + 1.25V); minimizes no-load power loss in always-on subsystems |
| PSRR Bandwidth | Effective up to 100kHz; maintains clean output despite high-frequency noise on input rail |
Pinout & Package
SOT-223 package with exposed thermal pad (pin 2 connected to VOUT for heatsinking). Standard 3-pin configuration optimized for low-profile PCB mounting and manual rework.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Tab) | VOUT | Power output terminal and thermal pad connection; must be soldered to ≥100mm² copper pour for θJA ≤ 120°C/W |
| 2 | INPUT | Main input supply connection; requires ≥10µF ceramic or tantalum bypass capacitor within 5mm |
| 3 | GND | Ground reference for regulator control circuitry and feedback path; separate low-impedance return required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 3.3V output | Eliminates external resistor network, reducing BOM count and layout sensitivity vs. adjustable variants |
| 1.15V dropout @ 1A | Enables single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V) or 5V rail post-regulation without headroom margin penalty |
| ±1% output accuracy | Meets tight tolerance requirements for FPGA I/O banks and ARM Cortex-A/M core supplies |
| Integrated thermal shutdown | Self-protecting operation under sustained overload or inadequate PCB copper; no external sensor needed |
| Lead-free & RoHS compliant | Meets EU Directive 2015/863/EU; compatible with standard SnAgCu reflow profiles (peak 260°C) |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MIC29302WU-3.3 | Higher dropout (0.4V typical @ 3A, but 1.3V @ 1A), higher quiescent current (15mA), TO-263 package | Designed for higher-current loads (>1.5A); less suitable for space-constrained SOT-223 layouts | Select when >1.2A continuous output or enhanced thermal performance (θJA = 60°C/W) is required |
| TLV1117-33CDCYR | Lower dropout (1.1V @ 1A), tighter initial accuracy (±1%), same SOT-223 package, but 85°C max TJ | Not rated for industrial temperature range; unsuitable for extended ambient >85°C environments | Select only for commercial-grade applications where cost is prioritized over extended temperature capability |
Compared with MIC29302WU-3.3 and TLV1117-33CDCYR, the AZ1117S-3.3TRE1 uniquely balances industrial temperature rating (–40°C to +125°C), SOT-223 footprint, and guaranteed 1.15V dropout at 1A-making it optimal for thermally demanding embedded designs where board area and reliability are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for AZ1117S-3.3TRE1?
The absolute maximum input voltage is 20V, but the recommended operating maximum is 15V per datasheet Section 5. Exceeding 15V risks exceeding thermal limits under full load, especially in SOT-223 without heatsinking. For 3.3V output, typical use cases maintain VIN between 4.45V (dropout-limited) and 12V.
Does AZ1117S-3.3TRE1 require an output capacitor, and what type is recommended?
Yes-an output capacitor is mandatory for stability. The datasheet specifies ≥22µF tantalum or ≥10µF low-ESR ceramic. Tantalum provides best PSRR; ceramic requires careful ESR selection (0.1–0.5Ω) to avoid oscillation. No minimum ESR is required for tantalum, simplifying design.
How does thermal shutdown behave during overload conditions?
Thermal shutdown activates at +150°C junction temperature with +25°C hysteresis, meaning the device resumes regulation only after cooling to +125°C. During shutdown, output drops to ~0.5V and quiescent current falls to <1mA. This cycle repeats until fault condition clears, preventing permanent damage.
Can AZ1117S-3.3TRE1 be used in parallel for higher current?
No-parallel operation is not supported. The AZ1117 lacks current-sharing features or matching output impedance. Attempting parallel connection causes unequal current distribution and potential thermal runaway. For >1A, select a higher-current LDO (e.g., AZ2017) or switch to a DC/DC solution.
