Product details
Overview
IFX8117MEV33HTMA1 from Infineon Technologies is a fixed-output linear voltage regulator delivering 3.3 V at up to 1 A, housed in a thermally enhanced SOT-223-4 package with integrated thermal shutdown and current limiting. It targets low-noise power rails for microcontroller cores, FPGA I/O banks, and industrial sensor signal chains requiring stable, ripple-free supply.
For engineers reviewing the IFX8117MEV33HTMA1 datasheet, IFX8117MEV33HTMA1 pinout, IFX8117MEV33HTMA1 application, or IFX8117MEV33HTMA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage (max 450 mV @ 1 A), load regulation (±1 %), PSRR (65 dB @ 120 Hz), and thermal resistance (RthJA = 60 K/W).
Technical Context
This regulator employs a PNP pass transistor architecture enabling low dropout operation without external compensation. Internal circuitry includes precision bandgap reference, error amplifier, and foldback current limiting that reduces output current during short-circuit events to limit power dissipation.
Thermal protection activates at junction temperatures exceeding 160 °C, forcing output shutdown until cooldown. The device operates across input voltages from 4.5 V to 40 V and maintains output accuracy over temperature (±2 % from −40 °C to +125 °C).
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3 V ±2 % over full temperature and load range |
| Max Output Current | 1 A continuous; limited by thermal design and ambient conditions |
| Dropout Voltage | 450 mV max at 1 A load, enabling use with 3.7 V Li-ion or 5 V rail |
| PSRR | 65 dB at 120 Hz, suppressing low-frequency ripple from switching supplies |
| Quiescent Current | 12 mA typical, supporting low-power standby modes |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at TJ ≥ 160 °C; auto-recovery after cooldown |
Pinout & Package
SOT-223-4 package with exposed thermal pad (pin 4) soldered to PCB copper for enhanced heat dissipation. Pin 1 = Input, Pin 2 = Ground, Pin 3 = Output, Pin 4 = Thermal Pad (must be connected to GND plane).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Input (IN) | Accepts unregulated DC input (4.5–40 V); requires local 10 µF ceramic bypass |
| Pin 2 | Ground (GND) | Reference node for internal circuitry and feedback path |
| Pin 3 | Output (OUT) | Regulated 3.3 V supply; requires 22 µF low-ESR output capacitor |
| Pin 4 | Thermal Pad | Electrically tied to GND; primary thermal path to PCB heatsink area |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low Dropout Operation | Enables regulation from 3.7 V sources (e.g., single-cell Li-ion) without headroom loss |
| Integrated Thermal Protection | Prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal layout |
| Current Limit Foldback | Reduces short-circuit power dissipation by lowering output current as voltage collapses |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar linear regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLE42754G | Same manufacturer, 5 V output; requires external resistor divider for 3.3 V option | Designed for automotive 5 V systems; lacks factory-trimmed 3.3 V variant | Select if system already uses TLE42754G footprint and needs 5 V, or if adjustable output is preferred |
| LDL113PU33R | STMicroelectronics part; 300 mA max output, lower quiescent current (30 µA), no thermal pad | Targeted at ultra-low-power portable devices, not industrial 1 A loads | Choose only for battery-powered applications under 300 mA where standby current dominates design priority |
Compared with TLE42754G and LDL113PU33R, IFX8117MEV33HTMA1 uniquely delivers 1 A at 3.3 V in an industry-standard SOT-223-4 with thermal pad-making it optimal for thermally constrained industrial and automotive modules needing fixed, high-current LDO performance.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for stable 3.3 V output at 1 A?
The IFX8117MEV33HTMA1 requires at least 3.75 V input to maintain regulation at 1 A load, based on its maximum 450 mV dropout voltage. Below this, output voltage drops linearly with input; operation below 4.5 V is not recommended due to reduced margin against line transients and thermal stress.
Can the thermal pad (Pin 4) be left floating during PCB layout?
No. Pin 4 is an exposed thermal pad electrically connected to ground internally and must be soldered to a dedicated GND copper pour with multiple thermal vias. Leaving it unconnected degrades RthJA from 60 K/W to >120 K/W, risking thermal shutdown under 0.5 A load at 70 °C ambient.
Does this regulator require an external output capacitor for stability?
Yes. A minimum 22 µF low-ESR ceramic or tantalum capacitor is mandatory at the output to ensure phase margin and prevent oscillation. The datasheet specifies ESR range of 10–100 mΩ; using smaller or higher-ESR capacitors may cause instability or overshoot during load transients.
Is IFX8117MEV33HTMA1 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes. It is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified (−40 °C to +125 °C ambient), features built-in reverse-polarity protection, and meets automotive transient immunity standards per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/3a. Its SOT-223-4 package is approved for reflow and under-hood mounting per J-STD-020.
