Typical Applications
Description
The F AN1117A and FAN1117A-1.8, -2.5, -2.85, -3.3 and -5
are low dropout three-terminal regulators with 1A output
current capability. These de vices ha v e been optimized for lo w
voltage where transient response and minimum input voltage
are critical. The 2.85V version is designed specifically to be
used in Active Terminators for SCSI bus.
Current limit is trimmed to ensure specified output current
and controlled short-circuit current. On-chip thermal limiting
provides protection against any combination of overload and
ambient temperatures that would create excessive junction
temperatures.
Unlike PNP type regulators where up to 10% of the output
current is wasted as quiescent current, the quiescent current
of the FAN1117A flows into the load, increasing efficiency.
The FAN1117A series regulators are available in the
industry-standard SOT-223, TO-220, and TO-252 (DPAK)
power packages.

Notes:
1. See thermal regulation specifications for changes in output voltage due to heating effects. Load and line regulation are
measured at a constant junction temperature by low duty cycle pulse testing.
2. Line and load regulation are guaranteed up to the maximum power dissipation (18W). Power dissipation is determined by
input/output differential and the output current. Guaranteed maximum output power will not be available over the full input/
output voltage range.
3. FAN1117A only.
4. Output current must be limited to meet the absolute maximum ratings of the part.
