Product details
Overview
AZ317HTR-G1 from Diodes Incorporated is a 3-terminal adjustable positive voltage regulator delivering 1A output current with 1.2V dropout at full load, ±1% reference voltage accuracy (1.25V), and integrated thermal shutdown and current limiting. It operates from 0°C to +125°C junction temperature and supports output voltages down to 1.25V using two external resistors - deployed in PC motherboards for stable core voltage regulation.
For engineers reviewing the AZ317HTR-G1 datasheet, AZ317HTR-G1 pinout, AZ317HTR-G1 application, or AZ317HTR-G1 equivalent, this device is selected for low-dropout, precision-adjustable DC-DC regulation in space-constrained power rails where thermal robustness and ±1% output tolerance are critical.
Technical Context
The AZ317HTR-G1 implements a trimmed bandgap reference with <100µA adjust pin current, enabling precise VOUT = VREF × (1 + R2/R1) configuration. Its internal current limiter is factory-trimmed to 1.5A typical, and on-chip thermal protection activates at +150°C with +25°C hysteresis.
It requires minimal external components: 0.1µF input capacitor (if near supply filter) and 1.0µF output capacitor for stability and transient response. Line regulation is 0.01%/V typical; load regulation is 0.2% typical across 10mA–1A output range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VREF | 1.25V ±1% - sets minimum output voltage and defines adjustment ratio accuracy |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.2V at 1A - enables regulation with only 1.2V headroom above VOUT, reducing power loss |
| Output Current | 1A continuous - supports mid-power digital subsystems without external pass devices |
| Line Regulation | 0.01%/V typical - ensures <±1.25mV output change per volt input variation at light load |
| Load Regulation | 0.2% typical - guarantees ≤6.6mV shift from 10mA to 1A load at 3.3V output |
| Thermal Shutdown | +150°C activation with +25°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload |
| Junction Temp Range | 0°C to +125°C - qualified for industrial-grade motherboard and peripheral operation |
Pinout & Package
AZ317HTR-G1 is supplied in lead-free, halogen-free "Green" SOT223 package (3-pin, surface-mount). Thermal resistance is 15°C/W (junction-to-case), supporting up to ~2.5W dissipation at TC = 70°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (INPUT) | Input voltage supply terminal | Accepts unregulated DC input; must exceed VOUT by ≥1.2V for regulation |
| 2 (OUTPUT) | Regulated output voltage node | Delivers stable, adjustable VOUT; connects to load and output capacitor (1.0µF) |
| 3 (ADJ) | Reference voltage feedback node | Senses VREF = 1.25V; forms resistor divider with R1/R2 to set output voltage |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable Output Voltage | 1.25V to ≥15V via external R1/R2 - enables single BOM part across multiple rail requirements |
| Trimmed Bandgap Reference | ±1% initial accuracy - eliminates need for post-manufacture calibration in cost-sensitive systems |
| Low Dropout Performance | 1.2V @ 1A - reduces heat generation and extends battery life in portable peripherals |
| Integrated Protection | Factory-trimmed current limit + thermal shutdown - removes need for discrete foldback or thermal sensors |
| Green Packaging | SOT223 with halogen/antimony-free molding compound - meets RoHS 3 and environmental compliance mandates |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar adjustable LDO voltage regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM317LDR2G | Higher dropout (1.5V @ 100mA), ±2% VREF accuracy, SOIC-8 package | Lower current rating limits use to sub-100mA rails; larger footprint than SOT223 | Select when legacy LM317 compatibility or SOIC assembly is required over thermal performance |
| AP317SG-13 | Same 1.25V VREF, but 1.3V dropout @ 1A and no guaranteed green packaging | RoHS-compliant but not halogen-free; slightly reduced efficiency at low VIN-VOUT | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where "Green" compliance is not mandated and 0.1V dropout penalty is acceptable |
Compared with LM317LDR2G and AP317SG-13, AZ317HTR-G1 delivers tighter reference accuracy, lower dropout, and certified halogen-free construction - making it optimal for high-density, thermally constrained, and environmentally regulated industrial PCBs.

FAQ
What is the minimum input-to-output voltage differential required for regulation?
The AZ317HTR-G1 requires a minimum dropout voltage of 1.2V at 1A output current to maintain regulation. At lighter loads (e.g., 10mA), dropout drops to ~0.6V. Input voltage must exceed the desired output by at least this margin; for example, generating 3.3V requires VIN ≥ 4.5V at full load.
Can AZ317HTR-G1 be used without an output capacitor?
No - a minimum 1.0µF output capacitor (tantalum or ceramic) is required for stability and transient response, as specified in the datasheet's Typical Applications Circuit. Omitting it risks oscillation, overshoot, or thermal runaway under dynamic load conditions.
How does the ADJ pin current affect output voltage accuracy?
The ADJ pin draws ≤100µA, contributing a small error term (IADJ × R2) to the output equation VOUT = VREF × (1 + R2/R1). With R2 ≤ 2.4kΩ (for 12V output), this adds ≤0.24mV error - negligible compared to the ±1% VREF tolerance and load/line regulation specs.
Is AZ317HTR-G1 pin-compatible with standard LM317 footprints?
Yes - the SOT223 package uses identical 1-2-3 pinout (INPUT-OUTPUT-ADJ) as LM317 variants in SOT223, enabling drop-in replacement in existing layouts. However, thermal performance differs: AZ317 offers lower dropout and tighter VREF tolerance, while LM317 may require larger output capacitance for stability.
