Product Overview: TLV1117-33CKTTR from Texas Instruments

The TLV1117-33CKTTR is a reliable low-dropout regulator (LDO) from Texas Instruments, designed to provide a fixed output voltage of 3.3V with a capability of delivering up to 800mA of continuous output current. This LDO regulator is an ideal choice for a wide range of applications, especially where power efficiency and stability are critical.

Constructed with an advanced bipolar technology, the TLV1117-33CKTTR ensures low quiescent current and low dropout voltage, making it suitable for battery-powered devices, where extending battery life is essential. Its dropout voltage is typically only 1.2V at maximum output current, which allows for better performance in low-voltage conditions.

The device features built-in current limiting and thermal protection, enhancing the safety and reliability of your application. The current limit helps to protect the regulator and the load from fault conditions, while the thermal protection disables the output when the junction temperature becomes excessively high, preventing damage to the device.

The TLV1117-33CKTTR comes in a small surface-mount package, the SOT-223, which is highly favored for space-constrained applications. This compact form factor, along with its low external part count, makes the TLV1117-33CKTTR a practical choice for portable electronics, including laptops, PDAs, and mobile phones, as well as for industrial and automotive applications that require a stable and efficient power supply.

Key features of the TLV1117-33CKTTR include:

• Fixed Output Voltage: 3.3V
• Output Current: Up to 800mA
• Low Dropout Voltage: Typically 1.2V
• Low Quiescent Current
