TLV1117-33CKVUR - Low Dropout Regulator from Texas Instruments

The TLV1117-33CKVUR is a high-performance, low-dropout linear regulator (LDO) from Texas Instruments (TI), designed to provide a stable and reliable power supply. This fixed-output regulator offers a 3.3V output voltage, which is ideal for a wide range of applications, including consumer electronics, industrial control systems, and embedded applications where efficient power management is crucial.

With a dropout voltage of typically 1.2V at a 800mA load, the TLV1117-33CKVUR ensures efficient operation even when the input voltage is close to the output voltage, making it an excellent choice for battery-operated devices. Its ability to deliver up to 800mA of continuous output current makes it suitable for moderate to high-power applications.

The device is designed with built-in current limit and thermal protection features, enhancing the safety and reliability of the system it powers. The current limit function protects against overcurrent conditions, while the thermal protection automatically shuts down the regulator if the internal temperature exceeds safe operating limits, thereby preventing potential damage from overheating.

The TLV1117-33CKVUR comes in a compact SOT-223 package, which is highly appreciated for its small footprint on printed circuit boards (PCBs). This packaging allows for efficient use of space in space-constrained applications without compromising on performance.

Key features of the TLV1117-33CKVUR include:

• Fixed output voltage of 3.3V
• Maximum output current of 800mA
• Low dropout voltage: typically 1.2V at 800mA load
• Built-in current limit and thermal protection
• Wide operating input voltage range
• Stable with low-ESR capacitors
• Compact SOT-223 package

This LDO regulator is an excellent choice for applications requiring a stable 3.3V power supply with a moderate current rating. Its robust protection features and compact size make the TLV1117-33CKVUR a versatile and reliable component for your power management needs.
