AMS1117-1.8 in AMS1117 LDO Family
The AMS1117-1.8 is a popular low-dropout linear regulator (LDO) specifically designed to provide a fixed 1.8V output from a higher input voltage, typically up to 15V. Manufactured by multiple vendors like AMS, Advanced Monolithic Systems, and EVVO, it is a staple in the electronics industry for powering low-voltage digital circuits. It is characterized by its ability to deliver up to 1A of output current while maintaining a low dropout voltage of approximately 1.1V at maximum load.
Variants in This Sub-Family
Variants within the AMS1117-1.8 sub-family differ primarily in their packaging, such as the SOT-223 for surface-mount efficiency or the TO-252 (DPAK) for improved thermal dissipation in higher-power applications. While the electrical specifications for the 1.8V fixed output remain consistent, specific manufacturers may offer different temperature grade ratings, ranging from commercial (0 to 125 degrees Celsius) to industrial-grade specifications.
