The AME11 17 is a 1A low-dropout positive voltage regulator. It is available in fixed and adjustable output
voltage versions. Overcurrent and thermal protection
are integrated onto the chip. Output current will limit
as while it reaches the pre-set current or temperature
limit. The dropout voltage is specified at 1.4V Maximum at full rated output current. The AME1 1 17 series
provides excellent regulation over line, load and temperature variations.

1. Output voltage adjustment
Like most regulators, the AME1117 regulates the
output by comparing the output voltage to an internally generated reference voltage. On the adjustable version, the V
1.25V between V
formed by R1 and R2 should be set to conduct
10mA (minimum output load). The output voltage
is given by the following equation:
V
= V

3. Current Limit Protection
AME1 117 is protected against overload conditions.
Current protection is triggered at typically 1.5A.
4. Stability and Load Regulation
AME1117 requires a capacitor from VOUT to GND
to provide compensation feedback to the internal
gain stage. This is to ensure stability at the output
terminal. Typically, a 10µF tantalum or 50µF aluminum electrolytic is sufficient.
Note: It is important that the ESR for this
capacitor does not exceed 0.5Ω.
The output capacitor does not have a theoretical
upper limit and increasing its value will increase
stability. C
current regulator design.
For the adjustable version, the best load regulation
is accomplished when the top of the resistor divider (R1) is connected directly to the output pin of
the AME1117. When so connected, R
tiplied by the divider ratio.
For fixed output versions, the top of R1 is internally
connected to the output. The ground pin can be
connected to the low side of the load in order to
eliminate ground loop errors.

2. Thermal protection
AME1 1 17 has thermal protection which limits
junction temperature to 150OC. However, device
functionality is only guaranteed to a maximum
junction temperature of +125OC.

5. Thermal Consideration
The AME1117 series contain thermal limiting circuitry designed to protect itself from over-temperature conditions. Even for normal load conditions, maximum junction temperature ratings must
not be exceeded. As mentioned in thermal protection section, we need to consider all sources of
thermal resistance between junction and ambient.
It includes junction-to-case, case-to-heat-sink interface and heat sink thermal resistance itself.
Junction-to-case thermal resistance is specified
from the IC junction to the bottom of the case directly below the die. Proper mounting is required
to ensure the best possible thermal flow from this
area of the package to the heat sink. The case of
all devices in this product series is electrically connected to the output. Therefore, if the case of the
device must be electrically isolated, a thermally conductive spacer is recommended.
