PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The ALPHA Semiconductor AS1117 is a low power positive-voltage regulator designed to meet 800mA output current and comply
with SCSI-II specifications with a fixed output voltage of 2.85V. This device is an excellent choice for use in battery-powered
applications, as active terminators for the SCSI bus, and portable computers. The AS1117 features very low quiescent current and
very low dropout voltage of 1.2V at a full load and lower as output current decreases. AS1117 is available as an adjustable or fixed
2.85V, 3V, 3.3V, and 5V output voltages.
The AS1117 is offered in a 3-pin surface mount package SOT-223, TO-252, TO-220, SOT-89 & TO-263. The output capacitor of
10
F or larger is needed for output stability of AS1117 as required by most of the other regulator circuits. Use of ALPHA
Semiconductor's design, processing and testing techniques make our AS1117 superior over similar products.

Note 1: Output temperature coefficient is defined as the worst case voltage change divided by the total temperature range
Note 2: Dropout voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 100mV below its nominal value measured at 1V differential at very low values of programmed
output voltage, the minimum input supply voltage of 2V ( 2.3V over temperature) must be taken into account.
Note 3: Thermal regulation is defined as the change in output voltage at a time T after a change in power dissipation is applied. excluding load or line regulation effect.

AS1117
APPLICATION NOTES EXTERNAL
CAPACITOR
To ensure the stability of the AS1117 an output capacitor of
at least 10
F (tantalum)or 50
F (aluminum) is required.
The value may change based on the application
requirements on the output load or temperature range. The
capacitor equivalent series resistance (ESR) will effect the
AS1117 stability. The value of ESR can vary from the type
of capacitor used in the applications. The recommended
value for ESR is 0.5
. The output capacitance could
increase in size to above the minimum value. The larger
value of output capacitance as high as 100
F can improve
the load transient response.
SOLDERING METHODS
The AS1117 SOT-223 package is designed to be compatible
with infrared reflow or vapor-phase reflow soldering
techniques. During soldering the non-active or mildly
active fluxes may be used. The AS1117 die is attached to
the heatsink lead which exits opposite the input, output, and
ground pins.
Hand soldering and wave soldering should be avoided since
these methods can cause damage to the device with
excessive thermal gradients on the package. The SOT-223
recommended soldering method are as follows: vapor phase
reflow and infrared reflow with the component preheated to
within 65
C of the soldering temperature range.
THERMAL CHARACTERISTICS
The thermal resistance of AS1117 is 15
C/W from junction
to tab and 31
C/W from tab to ambient for a total of 46
C/W from junction to ambient. The AS1117 features the
internal thermal limiting to protect the device during
overload conditions. Special care needs to be taken during
continuos load conditions the maximum junction
temperature does not exceed 125
C.
Taking the FR-4 printed circuit board and 1/16 thick with 1
ounce copper foil as an experiment (fig.1 & fig.2), the PCB
material is effective at transmitting heat with the tab
attached to the pad area and a ground plane layer on the
backside of the substrate. Refer to table 1 for the results of
the experiment.
The thermal interaction from other components in the
application can effect the thermal resistance of the AS1117.
The actual thermal resistance can be determined with
experimentation. AS1117 power dissipation is calculated as
follows:
P
D
= (V
IN
- V

)(I

)
Maximum Junction Temperature range:
