GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The

The AMS1117 series of adjustable and fixed voltage regulators are designed to provide 800mA output current and to operate

down to 1V input-to-output differential. The dropout voltage of the device is guaranteed maximum 1.3V at maximum output

current, decreasing at lower load currents.

On-chip trimming adjusts the reference voltage to 1%. Current limit is also trimmed, minimizing the stress under overload

conditions on both the regulator and power source circuitry.

The AMS1117 devices are pin compatible with other three-terminal SCSI regulators and are offered in the low profile surface

mount SOT-223 package and in the TO-252 (DPAK) plastic package.

and the output current. Guaranteed maximum power dissipation will not be available over the full input/output range.

Note 3: See thermal regulation specifications for changes in output voltage due to heating effects. Line and load regulation are measured at a constant junction

temperature by low duty cycle pulse testing. Load regulation is measured at the output lead ~1/8” from the package.

Note 4: Dropout voltage is specified over the full output current range of the device.

Note 5: Minimum load current is defined as the minimum output current required to maintain regulation. When 1.5V ≤ (VIN - VOUT) ≤ 12V the device is

AMS1117

APPLICATION HINTS

The AMS1117 series of adjustable and fixed regulators are easy

to use and are protected against short circuit and thermal

overloads. Thermal protection circuitry will shut-down the

regulator should the junction temperature exceed 165°C at the

sense point.

Pin compatible with older three terminal adjustable regulators,

these devices offer the advantage of a lower dropout voltage,

more precise reference tolerance and improved reference stability

with temperature.

Stability

The circuit design used in the AMS1117 series requires the use of

an output capacitor as part of the device frequency compensation.

The addition of 22µF solid tantalum on the output will ensure

stability for all operating conditions.

When the adjustment terminal is bypassed with a capacitor to

improve the ripple rejection, the requirement for an output

capacitor increases. The value of 22µF tantalum covers all cases

of bypassing the adjustment terminal. Without bypassing the

adjustment terminal smaller capacitors can be used with equally

good results.

To ensure good transient response with heavy load current

changes capacitor values on the order of 100µF are used in the

output of many regulators. To further improve stability and

transient response of these devices larger values of output

capacitor can be used.

Protection Diodes

Unlike older regulators, the AMS1117 family does not need any

protection diodes between the adjustment pin and the output and

from the output to the input to prevent over-stressing the die.

Internal resistors are limiting the internal current paths on the

AMS1117 adjustment pin, therefore even with capacitors on the

adjustment pin no protection diode is needed to ensure device

safety under short-circuit conditions.

Diodes between the input and output are not usually needed.

Microsecond surge currents of 50A to 100A can be handled by the

internal diode between the input and output pins of the device. In

normal operations it is difficult to get those values of surge

currents even with the use of large output capacitances. If high

value output capacitors are used, such as 1000µF to 5000µF and

the input pin is instantaneously shorted to ground, damage can

occur. A diode from output to input is recommended, when a

crowbar circuit at the input of the AMS1117 is used (Figure 1).

Output Voltage

The AMS1117 series develops a 1.25V reference voltage

between the output and the adjust terminal. Placing a resistor

between these two terminals causes a constant current to flow

through R1 and down through R2 to set the overall output

voltage. This current is normally the specified minimum load

current of 10mA. Because I

is very small and constant it

represents a small error and it can usually be ignored.

Load Regulation

True remote load sensing it is not possible to provide, because

the AMS1117 is a three terminal device. The resistance of the

wire connecting the regulator to the load will limit the load

regulation. The data sheet specification for load regulation is

measured at the bottom of the package. Negative side sensing is a

true Kelvin connection, with the bottom of the output divider

returned to the negative side of the load.

The best load regulation is obtained when the top of the resistor

divider R1 is connected directly to the case not to the load. If R1

were connected to the load, the effective resistance between the

regulator and the load would be:

RP x ( R2+R1 ) , RP = Parasitic Line Resistance

Thermal Considerations

The AMS1117 series have internal power and thermal limiting

circuitry designed to protect the device under overload conditions.

However maximum junction temperature ratings of 125°C should

not be exceeded under continuous normal load conditions.

Careful consideration must be given to all sources of thermal

resistance from junction to ambient. For the surface mount

package SOT-223 additional heat sources mounted near the

device must be considered. The heat dissipation capability of the

PC board and its copper traces is used as a heat sink for the

device. The thermal resistance from the junction to the tab for the

AMS1117 is 15°C/W. Thermal resistance from tab to ambient

can be as low as 30°C/W.

The total thermal resistance from junction to ambient can be as

low as 45°C/W. This requires a reasonable sized PC board with

at least on layer of copper to spread the heat across the board and

couple it into the surrounding air.

Experiments have shown that the heat spreading copper layer

does not need to be electrically connected to the tab of the device.

The PC material can be very effective at transmitting heat

between the pad area, attached to the pad of the device, and a

ground plane layer either inside or on the opposite side of the

board. Although the actual thermal resistance of the PC material

is high, the Length/Area ratio of the thermal resistance between

layers is small. The data in Table 1, was taken using 1/16” FR-4

board with 1 oz. copper foil, and it can be used as a rough

guideline for estimating thermal resistance.

For each application the thermal resistance will be affected by

thermal interactions with other components on the board. To

determine the actual value some experimentation will be

necessary.

The power dissipation of the AMS1117 is equal to:

PD = ( VIN - VOUT )( IOUT )

Maximum junction temperature will be equal to:

TJ = TA(MAX) + PD(Thermal Resistance (junction-to-ambient))

Maximum junction temperature must not exceed 125°C.

Ripple Rejection

The ripple rejection values are measured with the adjustment pin

bypassed. The impedance of the adjust pin capacitor at the ripple

frequency should be less than the value of R1 (normally 100Ω to

200Ω) for a proper bypassing and ripple rejection approaching

the values shown. The size of the required adjust pin capacitor is

a function of the input ripple frequency. If R1=100Ω at 120Hz

the adjust pin capacitor should be >13µF. At 10kHz only 0.16µF

is needed.

The ripple rejection will be a function of output voltage, in

circuits without an adjust pin bypass capacitor. The output ripple

will increase directly as a ratio of the output voltage to the

reference voltage (VOUT / VREF ).
