Overview

The LM1117IMPX-3.3/NOPB is a low-dropout linear regulator from Texas Instruments providing a fixed 3.3V output. It is capable of delivering up to 800mA of load current and features a wide operating temperature range of -40 to 125 degrees Celsius. This SOT-223 packaged device includes internal current limiting and thermal protection to ensure system reliability.

Why Choose This Part

The regulator features a high Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR) of 75dB at 120Hz, making it effective at filtering input noise. It is robustly protected against faults with integrated over-current and over-temperature shutdown. The Zener trimmed band-gap reference ensures high output accuracy across its operating range.

Applications

Local Logic Supplies
Providing clean 3.3V power to microcontrollers and digital logic from a 5V or higher rail.
Post-Regulation for Switching Supplies
Reducing ripple and noise from DC-DC converters in sensitive analog or mixed-signal circuits.
Battery Powered Systems
Regulating 3.3V for portable electronics where 800mA capacity is required for peak loads.

Getting Started

When designing the PCB, ensure a minimum of 10uF tantalum capacitor is placed at the output to maintain stability. The SOT-223 package uses the Tab (Pin 4) as the VOUT connection and for heat dissipation; maximize copper area on this pin to manage thermal performance when operating near the 15V maximum input voltage.
