LM1117/LM1117I
800mA Low-Dropout Linear Regulator
General Description
The LM1117 is a series of low dropout voltage regulators with
a dropout of 1.2V at 800mA of load current. It has the same
pin-out as National Semiconductor's industry standard
LM317.
The LM1117 is available in an adjustable version, which can
set the output voltage from 1.25V to 13.8V with only two ex-
ternal resistors. In addition, it is also available in five fixed
voltages, 1.8V, 2.5V, 2.85V, 3.3V, and 5V.
The LM1117 offers current limiting and thermal shutdown. Its
circuit includes a zener trimmed bandgap reference to assure
output voltage accuracy to within ±1%.
The LM1117 series is available in LLP, TO-263, SOT-223,
TO-220, and TO-252 D-PAK packages. A minimum of 10µF
tantalum capacitor is required at the output to improve the
transient response and stability.

Application Note
1.0 EXTERNAL CAPACITORS/STABILITY
1.1 Input Bypass Capacitor
An input capacitor is recommended. A 10µF tantalum on the input is a suitable input bypassing for almost all applications.
1.2 Adjust Terminal Bypass Capacitor
The adjust terminal can be bypassed to ground with a bypass capacitor (CADJ) to improve ripple rejection. This bypass capacitor
prevents ripple from being amplified as the output voltage is increased. At any ripple frequency, the impedance of the CADJ should
be less than R1 to prevent the ripple from being amplified:
1/(2π*fRIPPLE*CADJ) < R1
The R1 is the resistor between the output and the adjust pin. Its value is normally in the range of 100-200. For example, with R1
= 124 and fRIPPLE = 120Hz, the CADJ should be > 11µF.
1.3 Output Capacitor
The output capacitor is critical in maintaining regulator stability, and must meet the required conditions for both minimum amount
of capacitance and ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance). The minimum output capacitance required by the LM1117 is 10µF, if a
tantalum capacitor is used. Any increase of the output capacitance will merely improve the loop stability and transient response.
The ESR of the output capacitor should range between 0.3Ω - 22Ω. In the case of the adjustable regulator, when the CADJ is used,
a larger output capacitance (22µf tantalum) is required.
2.0 OUTPUT VOLTAGE
The LM1117 adjustable version develops a 1.25V reference voltage, VREF, between the output and the adjust terminal. As shown
in Figure 1, this voltage is applied across resistor R1 to generate a constant current I1. The current IADJ from the adjust terminal
could introduce error to the output. But since it is very small (60µA) compared with the I1 and very constant with line and load
changes, the error can be ignored. The constant current I1 then flows through the output set resistor R2 and sets the output voltage
to the desired level.
For fixed voltage devices, R1 and R2 are integrated inside the devices.
10091917
FIGURE 1. Basic Adjustable Regulator
3.0 LOAD REGULATION
The LM1117 regulates the voltage that appears between its output and ground pins, or between its output and adjust pins. In some
cases, line resistances can introduce errors to the voltage across the load. To obtain the best load regulation, a few precautions
are needed.
Figure 2, shows a typical application using a fixed output regulator. The Rt1 and Rt2 are the line resistances. It is obvious that the
VLOAD is less than the VOUT by the sum of the voltage drops along the line resistances. In this case, the load regulation seen at the
RLOAD would be degraded from the data sheet specification. To improve this, the load should be tied directly to the output terminal
on the positive side and directly tied to the ground terminal on the negative side.
LM1117/LM1117I
Copyright © 1999-2012, Texas Instruments Incorporated 11
10091918
FIGURE 2. Typical Application using Fixed Output Regulator
When the adjustable regulator is used (Figure 3), the best performance is obtained with the positive side of the resistor R1 tied
directly to the output terminal of the regulator rather than near the load. This eliminates line drops from appearing effectively in
series with the reference and degrading regulation. For example, a 5V regulator with 0.05 resistance between the regulator and
load will have a load regulation due to line resistance of 0.05 x IL. If R1 (=125) is connected near the load, the effective line
resistance will be 0.05 (1+R2/R1) or in this case, it is 4 times worse. In addition, the ground side of the resistor R2 can be returned
near the ground of the load to provide remote ground sensing and improve load regulation.
10091919
FIGURE 3. Best Load Regulation using Adjustable Output Regulator
4.0 PROTECTION DIODES
Under normal operation, the LM1117 regulators do not need any protection diode. With the adjustable device, the internal resistance
between the adjust and output terminals limits the current. No diode is needed to divert the current around the regulator even with
capacitor on the adjust terminal. The adjust pin can take a transient signal of ±25V with respect to the output voltage without
damaging the device.
When a output capacitor is connected to a regulator and the input is shorted to ground, the output capacitor will discharge into the
output of the regulator. The discharge current depends on the value of the capacitor, the output voltage of the regulator, and rate
of decrease of VIN. In the LM1117 regulators, the internal diode between the output and input pins can withstand microsecond
surge currents of 10A to 20A. With an extremely large output capacitor (1000 µF), and with input instantaneously shorted to
ground, the regulator could be damaged.
In this case, an external diode is recommended between the output and input pins to protect the regulator, as shown in Figure 4.

FIGURE 4. Regulator with Protection Diode
5.0 HEATSINK REQUIREMENTS
When an integrated circuit operates with an appreciable current, its junction temperature is elevated. It is important to quantify its
thermal limits in order to achieve acceptable performance and reliability. This limit is determined by summing the individual parts
consisting of a series of temperature rises from the semiconductor junction to the operating environment. A one-dimensional steady-
state model of conduction heat transfer is demonstrated in Figure 5. The heat generated at the device junction flows through the
die to the die attach pad, through the lead frame to the surrounding case material, to the printed circuit board, and eventually to
the ambient environment. Below is a list of variables that may affect the thermal resistance and in turn the need for a heatsink.

The LM1117 regulators have internal thermal shutdown to protect the device from over-heating. Under all possible operating
conditions, the junction temperature of the LM1117 must be within the range of 0°C to 125°C. A heatsink may be required depending
on the maximum power dissipation and maximum ambient temperature of the application. To determine if a heatsink is needed,
the power dissipated by the regulator, PD , must be calculated:
IIN = IL + IG
PD = (VIN-VOUT)I L + VINIG
Figure 6 shows the voltages and currents which are present in the circuit.

FIGURE 6. Power Dissipation Diagram
The next parameter which must be calculated is the maximum allowable temperature rise, TR(max):
TR(max) = TJ(max)-TA(max)
where TJ(max) is the maximum allowable junction temperature (125°C), and TA(max) is the maximum ambient temperature which
will be encountered in the application.
Using the calculated values for TR(max) and PD, the maximum allowable value for the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance
(θJA) can be calculated:
 θJA = TR(max)/PD
If the maximum allowable value for θJA is found to be 136°C/W for SOT-223 package or 79°C/W for TO-220 package or 92°
C/W for TO-252 package, no heatsink is needed since the package alone will dissipate enough heat to satisfy these requirements.
If the calculated value for θJA falls below these limits, a heatsink is required.
As a design aid, Table 1 shows the value of the θJA of SOT-223 and TO-252 for different heatsink area. The copper patterns that
we used to measure these θJAs are shown at the end of the Application Notes Section. Figure 7 and Figure 8 reflects the same
test results as what are in the Table 1
Figure 9 and Figure 10 shows the maximum allowable power dissipation vs. ambient temperature for the SOT-223 and TO-252
device. Figures Figure 11 and Figure 12 shows the maximum allowable power dissipation vs. copper area (in2) for the SOT-223
and TO-252 devices. Please see AN1028 for power enhancement techniques to be used with SOT-223 and TO-252 packages.
*Application Note AN-1187 discusses improved thermal performance and power dissipation for the LLP.

harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components which meet ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. Components which
have not been so designated are neither designed nor intended for automotive use; and TI will not be responsible for any failure of such
components to meet such requirements.
