SPX1117
800mA Low Dropout Voltage Regulator
September 2018
Rev. 2.1.1
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
APPLICATIONS
The SPX1117 is a low power positive-voltage
regulator designed to satisfy moderate power
requirements with a cost effective, small
footprint solution.
• Desktop PC Servers
This device is an excellent choice for use in
battery-powered applications and portable
computers. The SPX1117 features very low
quiescent current and a low dropout voltage of
1.1V at a full load. As output current
decreases, quiescent current flows into the
load, increasing efficiency. SPX1117 is
available in adjustable or fixed 1.5V, 1.8V,
2.5V, 3.3V and 5V output voltages.
• Power Supplies
• Graphic/Video Cards
• Industrial Equipments
FEATURES
• Guaranteed 800mA Output Current
• Guaranteed 1A Peak Current
• Three Terminal Adjustable or Fixed
1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V and 5V
The SPX1117 is offered in a 3-pin SOT-223
surface mount packages.
• Low Quiescent Current
• Low Dropout Voltage of 1.1V at 800mA
An output capacitor of 10µF provides
unconditional stability while a smaller 2.2µF
capacitor is sufficient for most applications.
• 0.1% Line and 0.2% Load Regulation
• Stable with 2.2µF Ceramic Capacitor
• Overcurrent and Thermal Protection
• Lead Free, RoHS Compliant SOT223

APPLICATION INFORMATION
OUTPUT CAPACITOR
To ensure the stability of the SPX1117, an
output capacitor of at least 2.2µF (tantalum or
ceramic) or 10µF (aluminum) is required. The
value may change based on the application
requirements
of
the
output
load
or
temperature range. The value of ESR can vary
based on the type of capacitor used in the
applications to guarantee stability. The
recommended value for ESR is 0.5Ω or less. A
larger value of output capacitance (up to
100µF) can improve the load transient
response.

SOLDERING METHODS
The SPX1117 SOT-223 package is designed to
be compatible with infrared reflow or vaporphase reflow soldering techniques. During
soldering, the non-active or mildly active
fluxes may be used. The SPX1117 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 SPX1117 (SOT-223
package) 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 (Table 1). The
SPX1117 features the internal thermal limiting
to protect the device during overload
conditions. Special care needs to be taken
during continuous load conditions such that
the maximum junction temperature does not
exceed 125 °C. Thermal protection is activated
at >155°C and deactivated at
