Adjustable LDO for post-switcher rails
The LD1117ADT-TR is a 1A adjustable positive LDO regulator from STMicroelectronics, in a DPAK (TO-252-3) surface-mount package.
Dropout headroom and output range
Maximum dropout is 1.3V at the full 1A load — so a 5V rail needs at least 6.3V input to stay in regulation at peak current. The adjustable output spans 1.25V up to 15V, set by a resistive divider on the ADJ pin.

Protection and quiescent current
Built-in over-current and over-temperature protection cover the common fault cases — shorted output or excessive ambient. Quiescent current is 5 mA typical, which sets the light-load efficiency floor.
