Diodes Incorporated AZ1084S-3.3TRE1 - Low Dropout Linear Regulator

The AZ1084S-3.3TRE1 by Diodes Incorporated is a high-performance, low dropout (LDO) linear voltage regulator designed to deliver a continuous 3.3V output at up to 5A of load current. This component is ideal for a wide array of applications, ranging from consumer electronics to industrial systems that require a stable and efficient power supply.

This regulator features an impressive dropout voltage of typically 1.15V at 5A, ensuring efficient operation even when the input voltage is close to the output voltage. The device operates over an input voltage range from 4.5V to 15V, providing versatility for different power systems and allowing it to be used in various situations where the input supply may fluctuate.

The AZ1084S-3.3TRE1 is equipped with several protective features to ensure the longevity and reliability of both the regulator and the system it powers. These features include over-current protection, thermal shutdown, and over-temperature protection. The over-current protection safeguards the device from damage due to excessive load, while the thermal shutdown feature prevents overheating, thus enhancing the overall system stability.

With its adjustable output voltage version, the AZ1084S-3.3TRE1 also offers design flexibility, enabling users to set the output voltage to their specific needs with the use of external resistors. This feature is particularly beneficial for custom applications that require a non-standard voltage level.

The package for this LDO is the TO-263, which is known for its excellent thermal performance and is suitable for surface mount technology (SMT). This makes the AZ1084S-3.3TRE1 easy to integrate into a wide range of PCB designs. Additionally, its lead-free and RoHS compliant design ensures that it meets current environmental standards, making it a responsible choice for eco-conscious applications.

In summary, the AZ1084S-3.3TRE1 from Diodes Incorporated is a robust, versatile, and reliable solution for systems that demand a high-quality, low dropout voltage regulator. Its comprehensive set of features and protections make it an excellent choice for designers looking to enhance the performance and stability of their power supply circuits.
