Description
AP1117 is a low dropout positive adjustable or fixed-mode
regulator with 1A output current capability. The product is
voltage specifically desig ned to provide well-regulated s upply
for low IC applications such as high-speed bus termination
and low current 3.3V logic su pply. AP1117 is also well suited
for other applications such as VGA cards. AP1117 is
guaranteed to have lower than 1.4V dropout at full load
current making it ideal to provide well-regulated outputs of
1.25 to 5.0 with 6.4V to 18V input supply. AP1117 is available
in commercial temperature grade.

Pin Descriptions
Pin Name I/O PIN # Description
Adj (GND) I 1 A resistor divider from this pin to the VOUT pin and ground sets the output voltage
(Ground only for Fixed-Mode).
VOUT O 2
The output of the regulator. A minimum of 10uF capacitor (0.15 ESR 20) must
be connected from this pin to ground to insure stability.
VIN I 3
The input pin of regulator. T ypically a large storag e capacitor is c onnected from this pin
to ground to insure that the input voltage does not sag below the minimum dropout
voltage during the load transient response. This pin must always be 1.3V higher than
VOUT in order for the device to regulate properly.

Notes: 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 = 1/18” from the package.
4. Line and load regulation are guaranteed up to the maximum power dissipation of 15W. Power dissipation is determined by the difference
between input and output differential and the output current. Guaranteed maximum power dissipation will not be available over the full input/output
range.
5. Quiescent current is defined as the minimum output current required in maintaining regulation. At 12V input/output differential the
device is guaranteed to regulate if the output current is greater than 10mA.
6. Test conditions for SOT89-3L, TO220-3L, TO252-3L and TO263-3L: Devices mounted on FR-4 substrate, single sided PC board, 2oz copper, with
minimum recommended pad layout, no air flow. The case point of θJC is located on the thermal tab.
7. Test conditions for SOT223-3L: Devices mounted on FR-4 substrate, single sided PC board, 2oz copper, with 5mmx5mm thermal pad layout, no
air flow. The case point of θJC is located on the thermal tab.
