Product details
Overview
LD1117V from STMicroelectronics is a low-dropout positive voltage regulator delivering up to 800 mA output current with 1.0 V typical dropout at 100 mA, ±1 % output voltage tolerance at 25 °C, and 75 dB supply voltage rejection at 120 Hz-used in post-regulation of switching power supplies and embedded microcontroller core voltage rails.
For engineers reviewing the LD1117V datasheet, LD1117V pinout, LD1117V application, or LD1117V equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping (SOT-223), confirmed thermal resistance (RthJA = 110 °C/W), exact dropout behavior across load (1.10–1.20 V at 800 mA), and validated alternative options for fixed-output LDO replacement in industrial control and battery-backed systems.
Technical Context
The LD1117V uses an NPN pass transistor architecture, enabling high efficiency by routing quiescent current primarily into the load rather than ground-unlike PNP-based regulators. Its internal bandgap reference (1.25 V for adjustable variants) and on-chip trimming deliver tight output accuracy without external calibration.
Stability requires only a 10 µF minimum output capacitor; no input capacitor is mandatory. Built-in protection includes thermal shutdown and current limiting, with guaranteed operation from −40 °C to +125 °C junction temperature for automotive-grade variants (LD1117V-C).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output current | 800 mA max continuous-supports single-rail MCU, FPGA I/O, or sensor subsystems without external boost. |
| Dropout voltage | 1.10 V at 800 mA load-enables regulation from 3.3 V input to 2.5 V output or 5.0 V input to 3.3 V output with margin. |
| Output voltage tolerance | ±1 % at 25 °C-reduces need for system-level calibration in precision analog front-ends. |
| Supply voltage rejection | 75 dB typ. at 120 Hz-effectively suppresses ripple from upstream SMPS stages feeding sensitive ADCs or RF ICs. |
| Thermal resistance (J-A) | 110 °C/W in SOT-223-dictates maximum power dissipation (1.09 W) before thermal shutdown at 25 °C ambient. |
| Reference voltage | 1.25 V (adjustable version)-sets output via external resistor divider; enables custom voltages from 1.25 V to 13.8 V. |
| Operating input voltage | Up to 15 V DC-compatible with unregulated 12 V rail or automotive battery-supplied designs with transient headroom. |
Pinout & Package
LD1117V is available in SOT-223 (surface-mount, thermally enhanced), DPAK (TO-252), SO-8, and TO-220 packages. The SOT-223 variant features a tab connected internally to VOUT, serving as both output terminal and thermal pad.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN | Input voltage supply | Accepts 1.4–15 V DC; must exceed VOUT by ≥ dropout voltage to maintain regulation. |
| OUT | Regulated output | Delivers stable voltage; tab connection in SOT-223 improves thermal conduction to PCB copper pour. |
| GND | Ground reference | Return path for load current and internal bias; low-impedance layout critical for noise performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low quiescent current | 5–10 mA-minimizes standby power loss in always-on industrial monitoring nodes. |
| Fixed-output variants | 1.2 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, 5.0 V-eliminates external resistors for common logic rail requirements. |
| Adjustable version | VREF = 1.25 V ±1.0 %-supports flexible output configuration while retaining same pinout and thermal profile. |
| Internal protection | Current limit + thermal shutdown-prevents damage during short-circuit or overload without external circuitry. |
| Capacitor stability | 10 µF ceramic or tantalum output cap sufficient-reduces BOM count and board space vs. legacy LDOs requiring >47 µF. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Module | Automotive Body Control Unit |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Powering isolated digital I/O drivers and analog sensor signal conditioning circuits in DIN-rail mounted controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary post-regulator converting 5 V SMPS output to clean 3.3 V for microcontroller peripherals and ADC references. Use Value: 75 dB SVR suppresses switching noise from upstream DC/DC converter, ensuring <1 LSB error in 12-bit analog measurements. |
Use Scenario: Supplying 5.0 V to LIN transceivers and interior lighting driver ICs in door modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary regulator deriving stable 5.0 V from vehicle's 12 V battery rail, tolerant of cold-crank transients down to 6 V. Use Value: 1.1 V dropout at full load allows regulation during cranking events where input dips to 7.1 V-maintaining LIN bus communication integrity. |
| Medical Patient Monitor Front-End | Wi-Fi IoT Sensor Node |
Use Scenario: Providing ultra-low-noise 2.5 V supply to precision ECG amplifier stages and 16-bit SAR ADCs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-noise linear regulator following buck converter; output filtered by 10 µF X7R ceramic cap. Use Value: 100 µV RMS output noise (10 Hz–10 kHz) prevents baseline wander and preserves signal-to-noise ratio in sub-mV biopotential signals. |
Use Scenario: Regulating battery voltage (3.0–4.2 V Li-ion) to fixed 3.3 V for ESP32-WROOM-32 module and environmental sensors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-chip solution replacing discrete MOSFET + feedback network; integrated thermal protection prevents overheating during Wi-Fi burst transmission. Use Value: 800 mA capability supports simultaneous BLE + Wi-Fi operation without brownout, while SOT-223 footprint fits compact 12 mm × 12 mm PCB area. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV1117-33 | Lower max output current (800 mA vs. 1 A), higher dropout (1.2 V @ 800 mA), ±2 % tolerance over temp. | Designed for portable devices; lacks extended temp range (−40 °C to +125 °C) of LD1117V-C. | Prefer TLV1117-33 only when footprint compatibility with TI-designated boards is required and thermal margin exceeds 1.5 W. |
| MCP1700-3302E | Ultra-low quiescent current (1.6 µA), but limited to 250 mA output and 6 V max input. | Optimized for battery longevity in energy-harvesting sensors-not suitable for high-current loads like motor drivers or displays. | Select MCP1700-3302E only for always-on, low-duty-cycle sensor nodes where <1 µA sleep current is mandatory and load never exceeds 200 mA. |
Compared with TLV1117-33 and MCP1700-3302E, the LD1117V offers superior thermal robustness (12 W max dissipation in TO-220), wider input range (15 V), and tighter initial tolerance-making it optimal for industrial and automotive applications demanding sustained 800 mA delivery under variable thermal conditions.

FAQ
Is LD1117V RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes. LD1117V meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is manufactured using halogen-free molding compounds per IEC 61249-2-21. All variants (SOT-223, DPAK, TO-220) carry the "E" suffix in order codes indicating compliance, and material declarations are published in ST's official ECOPACK® documentation.
Can LD1117V be used in parallel to increase output current?
No. LD1117V lacks built-in current-sharing circuitry, and mismatched output voltages between parallel units cause unequal current distribution-risking thermal runaway. ST explicitly prohibits paralleling in the datasheet (Section 4.2). For >800 mA, use a single higher-current regulator or switch to a DC/DC solution.
What is the minimum output capacitance required for stability?
A minimum 10 µF output capacitor is required for all LD1117V variants, with ESR between 0.1 Ω and 10 Ω. Ceramic capacitors are acceptable if a 1 Ω damping resistor is added in series to meet ESR requirement; tantalum or aluminum polymer caps may be used without added resistance.
Does LD1117V support reverse-voltage protection?
No. LD1117V has no internal reverse-battery or reverse-polarity protection. Applying negative voltage to IN or OUT relative to GND can damage the IC. External protection-such as a series Schottky diode on the input or a back-to-back MOSFET circuit-is required in battery-reversal-prone environments like automotive jump-start scenarios.
