3 Description

The TLV1117LV low-dropout (LDO) linear regulator is

a low input voltage version of the popular TLV1117

voltage regulator.

The TLV1117LV is an extremely low-power device

that consumes 500 times lower quiescent current

than traditional 1117 voltage regulators, making the

device designed for applications that mandate very

low standby current. The TLV1117LV LDO is also

stable with 0 mA of load current; there is no

minimum load requirement, making the device a

good choice for applications where the regulator must

power very small loads during standby in addition

to large currents on the order of 1 A during normal

operation. The TLV1117LV offers excellent line and

load transient performance, resulting in very small

magnitude undershoots and overshoots of output

voltage when the load current requirement changes

from less than 1 mA to more than 500 mA.

A precision band-gap and error amplifier provides

1.5% accuracy. A very high power-supply rejection

ratio (PSRR) enables use of the device for postregulation

after a switching regulator. Other valuable

features include low output noise and low-dropout

voltage.

The device is internally compensated to be stable with

0-Ω equivalent series resistance (ESR) capacitors.

These key advantages enable the use of costeffective,

small-size ceramic capacitors. Cost-effective

capacitors that have higher bias voltages and

temperature derating can also be used if desired.

The TLV1117LV is available in a SOT-223 package.
