Description
The LD1117Axx is a low drop voltage regulator
able to provide up to 1 A of output current,
available also in adjustable versions (V
1.25 V). In fixed versions, the following output
voltages are offered: 1.2 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V and 3.3 V.
The device is supplied in: SOT-223, DPAK and
TO-220. Surface mounted packages optimize the
thermal characteristics while offering a relevant
space saving advantage. High efficiency is
assured by an NPN pass transistor. Only a very

Functional operation under these condition is not implied. Beyond the above suggested

The LD1117A adjustable has a thermal stabilized 1.25 ± 0.012 V reference voltage between
the OUT and ADJ pins. I
