Diodes Incorporated AZ1117R-1.8TRE1 - Low Dropout Linear Regulator

The AZ1117R-1.8TRE1 from Diodes Incorporated is a high-performance low dropout (LDO) linear regulator designed to deliver a steady 1.8V output voltage. This regulator is capable of sourcing up to 1A of output current with a dropout voltage of typically 1.2V at full load, making it an excellent choice for power-sensitive applications.

With its low dropout performance, the AZ1117R-1.8TRE1 is ideal for scenarios where the supply voltage is very close to the output voltage, thereby maximizing efficiency and battery life in portable devices. This component is commonly used in a wide range of applications, including but not limited to consumer electronics, computer peripherals, and industrial control systems.

The LDO is designed with features that ensure the stability and reliability of the power supply. It includes current limit and thermal shutdown protection mechanisms that safeguard the device and the load from damage due to excessive current or overheating. The AZ1117R-1.8TRE1 also offers excellent line and load regulation, maintaining a consistent output despite changes in input voltage or load conditions.

One of the key advantages of the AZ1117R-1.8TRE1 is its ease of use. It requires minimal external components, typically only a pair of capacitors for input and output smoothing, which simplifies design and reduces the overall bill of materials. The device is available in a small footprint SOT-223 package, which is suitable for space-constrained applications.

Technical specifications of the AZ1117R-1.8TRE1 include:

• Output Voltage: 1.8V
