AZ1117CH-3.3TRG1 LDO linear voltage regulator
The AZ1117CH-3.3TRG1 from Diodes Incorporated is a popular and cost-effective low-dropout (LDO) linear voltage regulator designed to provide a fixed, highly stable 3.3V output from a higher input voltage source. This device is capable of delivering a continuous output current of up to 1A, making it a versatile power management solution for a wide range of applications. Housed in a space-efficient SOT-223 package, which offers a good balance between power dissipation and board space, it features a low dropout voltage—typically 1.1V at 800mA—allowing it to remain regulated even when the input voltage is only slightly above the 3.3V output. Its robust design includes internal current limiting and thermal shutdown protection, ensuring safe and reliable operation under various load conditions.
