Features
Available in adjust version
Space saving TO-252, SOT-223 and TO-92
package

Internal over temperature protection
Output current in excess of 1A
Output current in excess of 100mA with
TO-92 package
General Description
The G1117 is a low dropout linear regulator with a
dropout of 1.2V at 800mA of load current and 1.3V at
1A of load current. It is available in an adjustable
version, which can set the output from 1.25V to 5V
with only two external resistors.
The G1117 provides over temperature and over cur-
rent protection circuits to prevent it from being dam-
aged by abnormal operating conditions.
The G1117 is available in TO-252, SOT-223 and
TO-92 packages. A minimum of 10μF tantalum elec-
trolytic capacitor is required at the output to improve
the transient response and stability.
Applications
Post regulation for switching DC/DC con-
verter
High efficiency linear regulator
Battery charger

Note4:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Conditions are
conditions under which the device functions but the specifications might not be guaranteed. For guaranteed specifications
and test conditions see the Electrical Characteristics.
The maximum power dissipation is a function of the maximum junction temperature, T
Jmax
; total thermal resistance,
θ
JA
,
and ambient temperature T
A
. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperature is T
jmax
-T
A
/
θ
JA
. If
this dissipation is exceeded, the die temperature will rise above 150°C and IC will go into thermal shutdown. For the
G1117 in SOT-223 package;
θ
JA
is 116°C/W (See recommend minimum footprint).
Low duty pulse techniques are used during test to maintain junction temperature as close to ambient as possible.
The type of output capacitor should be tantalum or aluminum.

Definitions
Output Voltage
The G1117 provides an adjustable output voltage from
1.25V to 5V. With two external resistors. It can be for-
mulated as:
V
OUT
= 1.25V x
(
1+
I
ADJ
= 80µA (TYP.)
Dropout Voltage
The input/output Voltage differential at which the
regulator output no longer maintains regulation against
further reductions in input voltage. Measured when the
output drops 2% below its nominal value. Dropout
voltage is affected by junction temperature, load cur-
rent and minimum input supply requirements.
Line Regulation
The change in output voltage for a change in input

voltage. The measurement is made under conditions
of low dissipation or by using pulse techniques such
that average chip temperature is not significantly af-
fected.
Load Regulation
The change in output voltage for a change in load
current at constant chip temperature. The measure-
ment is made under conditions of low dissipation or by
using pulse techniques such that average chip tem-
perature is not significantly affected.
Maximum Power Dissipation
The maximum total device dissipation for which the
regulator will operate within specifications.
Quiescent Bias Current
Current which is used to operate the regulator chip
and is not delivered to the load.
