The features and characteristics of the AMS1117 series adjustable and fixed voltage regulators are as follows: output current of 1A, operation down to 1V input-to-output differential, maximum dropout voltage of 1.3V, high efficiency, low line regulation, low load regulation, etc. They are suitable for high-efficiency linear regulators, post regulators for switching supplies, 5V to 3.3V linear regulators, active SCSI terminators, power management for notebook computers, battery-powered instrumentation, etc.
The AMS1117 series consists of three-terminal adjustable or fixed voltage regulators designed to provide 1A output current with a maximum dropout voltage of 1.3V at full load. Available in SOT-223, TO-252 (DPAK), and SO-8 packages, these devices operate down to a 1V input-to-output differential.
| Output Current | 1A |
|---|---|
| Dropout Voltage (Max) | 1.3V at 1A load |
| Line Regulation (Typ) | 0.2% |
| Load Regulation (Typ) | 0.4% |
