Fixed 2.85 V rail for legacy designs
The STMicroelectronics LD1117DT28TR is a single-output positive fixed LDO regulator delivering 2.85 V at up to 800 mA. It comes in a DPAK (TO-252-3) surface-mount package and operates over 0°C to 125°C — a commercial-to-hot range suited for indoor power supplies and industrial control boards that need a clean 2.85 V rail from a 15 V max input.
Dropout voltage and thermal budget at 800 mA
Maximum dropout is 1.2 V at the full 800 mA load. At 2.85 V output that requires at least 4.05 V input to stay in regulation — a 3.3 V rail is too low; plan for a 5 V or higher pre-regulator rail.
Obsolete — sourcing from the aftermarket channel
Expect to work with broker or surplus stock; verify date-code freshness and moisture sensitivity before reflow.
