REG1117-3.3/2K5 datasheet by Texas Instruments

REG1117-3.3/2K5 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that the REG1117-3.3/2K5 can handle?
  The maximum input voltage is 15V, but it's recommended to keep it below 12V for optimal performance and to prevent overheating.
• How much current can the REG1117-3.3/2K5 supply?
  The REG1117-3.3/2K5 can supply up to 1A of output current, but it's recommended to keep it below 800mA for optimal performance and to prevent overheating.
• What is the dropout voltage of the REG1117-3.3/2K5?
  The dropout voltage is typically around 1.5V, which means the input voltage should be at least 4.8V to ensure a stable 3.3V output.
• Is the REG1117-3.3/2K5 a low-dropout regulator (LDO)?
  Yes, the REG1117-3.3/2K5 is a low-dropout regulator (LDO), which means it can operate with a smaller input-to-output voltage differential compared to traditional linear regulators.
• What is the thermal shutdown temperature of the REG1117-3.3/2K5?
  The thermal shutdown temperature is typically around 150°C, which means the regulator will shut down if the junction temperature exceeds this value to prevent damage.
