Product details

What this adjustable LDO does and who specifies it

The LD1117ASTR is an adjustable positive linear regulator from STMicroelectronics, delivering up to 1 A output current from a 15 V max input rail. The 1.3 V max dropout at 1 A sets the headroom requirement: the input must stay at least 1.3 V above the programmed output at full load, or the regulator drops out of regulation.

Dropout and quiescent current — sizing the supply rail

The 5 mA quiescent current is the current the regulator draws from the input regardless of load — it adds to the input-side budget and matters for battery-powered designs where every milliamp counts. Compared to the STMicroelectronics LDFPVR, which offers a PSRR of 62 dB to 55 dB across 120 Hz to 100 kHz, the LD1117ASTR's 80 dB at 120 Hz gives it a clear advantage for 50/60 Hz ripple rejection, though the LDFPVR adds Enable and Power Good control features not present here.

Active production and compliance posture

Protection features and package fit

Built-in over-current and over-temperature protection guard the regulator against output shorts and thermal runaway — the device shuts down rather than exceeding its safe operating area. The SOT-223 package footprint is common and well-documented; the centre tab is the output pin and carries the heat to the PCB copper.

Frequently asked questions

What are the alternatives to LD1117ASTR?

Within STMicroelectronics, the LDFPVR is a functional alternative with a lower PSRR (62 dB to 55 dB across 120 Hz to 100 kHz) but adds Enable and Power Good control features. The LD39020DTPU33R is a fixed-output 3.3 V, 200 mA LDO with a higher PSRR bandwidth but lower current capability.

Does LD1117ASTR have overcurrent protection?

Yes, the LD1117ASTR includes both over-current and over-temperature protection. The regulator limits output current and shuts down if the junction temperature exceeds the safe limit.

Is LD1117ASTR compatible with SOT223-3?

The LD1117ASTR uses the SOT-223 package (ST's supplier device package designation), which is the same footprint as the industry-standard SOT-223-3. The pinout is: pin 1 (adjust), pin 2 (output/tab), pin 3 (input), pin 4 (ground). Confirm the pin assignment against your PCB layout before committing.
