Product details
Overview
ZLDO1117G33TA from Diodes Incorporated is a fixed-output 3.3V, 1A low-dropout linear regulator in SOT223 package, featuring 1.2V max dropout at full load, ±2% output voltage tolerance over industrial temperature range (−40°C to +125°C), and compatibility with MLCC output capacitors down to 4.7µF. It delivers stable 3.3V power for logic supplies and high-speed bus termination in automotive and industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the ZLDO1117G33TA datasheet, ZLDO1117G33TA pinout, ZLDO1117G33TA application, or ZLDO1117G33TA equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage under 1.2V at 1A, thermal shutdown protection, AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualification, and stability with low-ESR ceramic capacitors - critical for compact, thermally constrained embedded designs.
Technical Context
The ZLDO1117G33TA integrates a precision 1.25V bandgap reference and error amplifier to regulate output at 3.3V with line/load regulation of ≤0.2% and ≤6.6mV respectively. Its internal current limiting and thermal shutdown circuitry activate at ≥150°C junction temperature, ensuring safe operation during overload or ambient thermal stress.
Designed for quasi-LDO performance, it achieves fast transient response using internal compensation optimized for 4.7µF X7R MLCCs (ESR ≤0.5Ω), eliminating need for tantalum or electrolytic capacitors. Ripple rejection reaches 80dB at 120Hz with proper bypassing, supporting noise-sensitive analog and digital subsystems.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.300V ±2% (guaranteed across −40°C to +125°C, 10mA–1A load) |
| Max Dropout Voltage | 1.2V at 1A load (enables regulation with VIN as low as 4.5V) |
| Load Regulation | 6.6mV max (ensures <0.2% output shift from no-load to full-load) |
| Quiescent Current | 4–10mA (low static power draw supports battery-backed or always-on systems) |
| Ripple Rejection | 80dB at 120Hz (suppresses input ripple without external filtering) |
| Junction Temp Range | −40°C to +125°C (supports under-hood automotive and industrial environments) |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at ~150°C (self-protects against sustained overloads or poor PCB heatsinking) |
Pinout & Package
SOT223-3L package with exposed thermal pad (Tab = VOUT); footprint optimized for 2 oz copper, 5.6mm×5.6mm pad per AP02001; θJA = 107°C/W (no airflow, 2″×2″ polyimide PCB).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 3.3V LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP1700T-3302E/MB | 250mA output, 6µA quiescent current, SOT23-5 package | Limited to ultra-low-power microcontrollers; insufficient for 1A bus termination loads | Select only for battery-powered IoT nodes where standby current dominates design priority |
| TLV73333PDBVR | 300mA output, 50µA IQ, 170mV dropout at 300mA, SOT-23-5 | Cannot support 1A loads; lower thermal mass increases risk of thermal shutdown in continuous operation | Prefer for space-constrained, low-current auxiliary rails - not suitable as drop-in replacement for ZLDO1117G33TA's 1A capability |
Compared with MCP1700T-3302E/MB and TLV73333PDBVR, ZLDO1117G33TA uniquely combines 1A output, 1.2V dropout, and AEC-Q100 qualification in SOT223 - making it the only option among the three capable of powering automotive 3.3V bus interfaces while maintaining thermal safety margins under full load.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for ZLDO1117G33TA to maintain regulation?
The minimum input voltage is 4.7V - derived from the 3.3V output plus the guaranteed maximum dropout of 1.2V at 1A load. Below this, the device enters dropout mode and output voltage drops linearly with input. The datasheet specifies 4.7V as the lower bound of recommended operating conditions for full-load 3.3V regulation.
Can ZLDO1117G33TA be used with 2.2µF ceramic capacitors instead of the specified 4.7µF?
No - 4.7µF is the absolute minimum output capacitance required for loop stability, as validated in the datasheet's SOA and transient response testing. Using 2.2µF risks oscillation or excessive overshoot during load steps, especially with X7R dielectrics below 125°C. The 4.7µF value assumes ESR between 0.05Ω and 0.5Ω.
Does ZLDO1117G33TA require an input capacitor?
An input capacitor is recommended but not strictly required for stability - it prevents input voltage sag during load transients. Diodes recommends ≥1µF ceramic near the VIN pin when the regulator is not located close to the main power supply filter; larger values improve immunity to upstream ripple and source impedance effects.
How does the thermal shutdown behavior manifest during sustained overload?
When junction temperature reaches ~150°C, the internal thermal limiter disables the pass transistor, dropping VOUT to near zero. After die cooling by ~20°C, the regulator auto-restarts. This hiccup-mode cycling protects against permanent damage but causes intermittent output - design must ensure adequate PCB copper area (θJA ≤107°C/W) or derate load current in high-ambient environments.
