TLV1117LV18DCYR/TLV1117LV18DCYT - Texas Instruments

The TLV1117LV18DCYR and TLV1117LV18DCYT are part of the TLV1117LV series of low-dropout (LDO) linear voltage regulators from Texas Instruments, designed to deliver a fixed output of 1.8V. These regulators are capable of sourcing up to 1A of output current with a low dropout voltage, making them ideal for a wide range of applications that require a stable and efficient power supply.

With an input voltage range from 2.7V to 10V, the TLV1117LV18 devices can operate from a variety of power sources, including batteries and USB ports. The low dropout voltage ensures efficient operation even when the input voltage is close to the output voltage, which is beneficial for battery-powered applications where every millivolt counts.

The TLV1117LV18 regulators come in a compact SOT-223 package, which is suitable for space-constrained applications. The 'CYR' and 'CYT' suffixes denote the tape and reel packaging options for these components, which are typically used for automated manufacturing processes.

Key features of the TLV1117LV18DCYR/TLV1117LV18DCYT include thermal shutdown and current limit protection, which safeguard the device and the load from damage due to overheating and overcurrent conditions. Additionally, the regulators have a low quiescent current, which contributes to the overall power efficiency of the system and extends battery life in portable applications.

These LDOs are suitable for a variety of applications, including but not limited to, consumer electronics, handheld devices, and peripheral ports. Their performance and reliability make them a popular choice for designers who require a stable voltage source with a low dropout voltage and high output current capability.

For detailed specifications, application circuits, and additional information, designers are encouraged to consult the official datasheets and product guides provided by Texas Instruments. The TLV1117LV18DCYR and TLV1117LV18DCYT represent TI's commitment to providing high-quality power management solutions for a diverse array of electronic devices.
