Overview

The TLV1117LV33DCYR is a fixed 3.3V low-dropout (LDO) linear regulator designed for high-performance applications requiring up to 1A of output current. It operates from an input voltage range of 2V to 6V, making it ideal for regulating down from 5V or 3.3V rails with high accuracy and low quiescent current. This device is housed in a SOT-223 package, offering a balance between thermal performance and PCB space efficiency.

Why Choose This Part

This regulator offers a high 1.5 percent accuracy over temperature and load, ensuring precise voltage regulation for sensitive digital cores. It includes integrated safety features like thermal shutdown and overcurrent protection to prevent damage during fault conditions. The low dropout voltage allows for efficient operation even as the input voltage approaches the 3.3V output level.

Applications

Post-Regulation
Providing a clean, stable 3.3V rail for noise-sensitive analog circuits after a switching regulator.
Battery-Powered Systems
Extending battery life in portable electronics with its low 100uA typical quiescent current.
Microcontroller Power
Reliably powering 3.3V logic for MCUs, FPGAs, and DSPs that require high current spikes during operation.
Industrial Controllers
Operating in harsh environments up to 125 degrees Celsius for automation and control circuitry.

Getting Started

When designing with this LDO, ensure that input and output capacitors are placed as close to the pins as possible to maintain stability. Review the SOT-223 thermal footprint requirements on your PCB to manage the heat dissipation associated with 1A loads. No software configuration is required as this is a fixed-voltage hardware component.
