Product Overview

The LM1117 is a Texas Instruments 800-mA low-dropout linear regulator in the Power_Management category. It provides fixed output options of 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V, while the adjustable version covers 1.25 V to 13.8 V using two external resistors. A zener-trimmed band-gap reference supports ±1% output voltage accuracy.

Electrical limits include 800 mA rated output current, 1.2 V dropout at 800 mA, 0.2% maximum line regulation, and 0.4% maximum load regulation. The recommended VIN-to-GND maximum is 15 V, with an absolute maximum input voltage of 20 V. Protection functions include current limiting and thermal shutdown, and power dissipation is internally limited.

The device is available in SOT-223, TO-220, TO-252, WSON, and TO-263 packages. The output requires a 10 uF minimum tantalum capacitor for transient response and stability. Pin functions include ADJ/GND on pin 1, VIN as the input voltage pin, and VOUT as the output voltage pin; the WSON package requires grouped VIN and VOUT pin connections.

Procurement Notes

When requesting a quote for LM1117, buyers should confirm the manufacturer, package or case, required quantity, target date code, compliance documents, packing method, destination country and expected delivery schedule.

If alternatives are acceptable, buyers should share the approved vendor list, required electrical or optical limits, package constraints and qualification requirements. Any alternative part should be reviewed by the buyer's engineering team before production use.

For power IC and power device sourcing, voltage rating, current rating, power dissipation, package thermal performance, protection features, qualification grade and application conditions should be reviewed before approval.

FAQ

What output current does the LM1117 support?

The LM1117 is rated for 800 mA output current. The datasheet also lists current limit at 800 mA minimum, 1200 mA typical, and 1500 mA maximum with VIN-VOUT equal to 5 V at TJ=25°C.
