Texas Instruments TLV1117 Low-Dropout Linear Voltage Regulator – Compact, Efficient, and Reliable

Le TLV1117 from Texas Instruments is a highly reliable low-dropout (LDO) linear regulator designed to provide a stable output voltage in a wide range of embedded and industrial systems. With its fixed and adjustable versions, the TLV1117 supports numerous voltage regulation tasks for power-sensitive designs, especially where space and efficiency are critical concerns.

This LDO regulator features a typical dropout voltage of only 1.1 V at 800 mA, enabling the use of low input voltages without compromising output regulation. With its minimal external component requirements, thermal protection, and compact SOT-223 surface-mount package, the TLV1117 simplifies board layout and thermal management—making it ideal for consumer electronics, industrial control systems, and communication equipment.

Technical Parameters and Key Specifications

Why Choose TLV1117 Over Standard Linear Regulators?

The TLV1117 stands out among traditional linear regulators due to its optimized balance of low dropout voltage, compact footprint, and ease of implementation. Its 1.1 V dropout voltage at full load allows the regulator to maintain consistent voltage outputs even with relatively low input sources—a vital requirement in modern low-power systems.

Unlike many general-purpose LDOs, TLV1117 offers tighter line and load regulation, resulting in more precise voltage control across varying loads and supply fluctuations. Its built-in short-circuit protection and thermal shutdown features add extra safety for embedded applications operating under variable environmental conditions.

Designers favor the TLV1117 not just for its electrical performance, but also for the trustworthiness of the Texas Instruments brand. With a proven record in delivering robust analog ICs, TI ensures this regulator meets performance expectations in both consumer and industrial-grade deployments.
