LM1117IDTX-3.3/NOPB.pdf
The LM1117IDTX-3.3/NOPB is a fixed 3.3V LDO linear regulator from Texas Instruments, rated for 800mA output current in a TO-252 (DPAK) surface-mount package. Dropout voltage is 1.2V typical at full load — so you need at least 4.5V in to get a clean 3.3V out.
It's TI's version of the classic 1117-series regulator. Compared to the common AMS1117, it offers ±1% typical accuracy and guaranteed current limiting, thermal shutdown, and −40°C to +125°C operation. The TO-252 package dissipates heat into PCB copper for better thermals than SOT-223 at higher currents.

Key numbers that matter. The 1.2V typical dropout at 800mA means a 5V rail gives you 3.8V of headroom — comfortable. A 3.7V Li-ion battery at end-of-discharge gives you only 3.7V − 1.2V = 2.5V — not enough to regulate to 3.3V. This is the single most common misapplication of the 1117 series.
Per the TI LM1117-N datasheet (Rev L, SNOS412L), the output capacitor is not optional. The device needs a minimum 10µF tantalum with ESR between 0.3Ω and 22Ω for stability. Using a ceramic output cap without series resistance can send the control loop into oscillation.
Pin 1 is GND on the fixed-voltage version. The tab is electrically connected to VOUT — do not connect the tab to ground. Solder the tab to a large PCB copper area for heat dissipation.

| Model | Type | Key Difference | Best For |

LM1117 vs AMS1117 — TI or clone? The AMS1117 is the original second-source, but the market is flooded with clones. TI's LM1117IDTX-3.3/NOPB gives you a traceable part with ±1% typical accuracy and a current limit that works. Price difference at volume: under $0.10. For production, it's cheap insurance.
LM1117 vs TPS73633 — dropout voltage is the fork in the road. The TPS73633's 75mV dropout means it regulates 3.3V from a 3.4V input. But it's limited to 400mA and costs more. If your input is a solid 5V and you need 800mA, the 1117 is the better fit.
The LM1117 is a medium-dropout regulator. It's low-dropout compared to old-school NPN regulators like the 7805, but not low-dropout by modern CMOS standards. Plan your input voltage accordingly.
Standard 5V-to-3.3V configuration. The input capacitor handles line transients; the output capacitor is mandatory for loop stability. For ESP32 applications, add a 100µF bulk electrolytic near the module to handle WiFi transmit current spikes.

Contact ICMASS for a same-day quote. The TI LM1117 costs more than no-name AMS1117 clones but less than a buck converter plus the inductors and caps it needs. For production BOMs where reliability matters, it's the right price point. Reel quantities of 2,500 ship same-day from Shenzhen.
Microcontroller 3.3V rail from 5V USB or ATX power. The most common application: regulate a noisy 5V rail down to a clean 3.3V for STM32, ESP32, or ATmega MCUs. The 75dB PSRR at 120Hz and 47dB at 100kHz filters out switching noise from upstream converters.
Post-regulator for analog supplies. After a buck converter delivers the main 5V rail, an LM1117 provides a low-noise 3.3V rail for ADCs, op-amps, and voltage references. The 38µVRMS output noise is quiet enough for 12-bit ADC applications.
Automotive 12V to 3.3V (low current). With 12V input at 200mA, dissipation is (12−3.3)×0.2 = 1.74W. A 45°C/W TO-252 on 2cm² of copper keeps the junction at ~100°C at 25°C ambient. For higher currents from 12V, use a switching pre-regulator.
Genuine TI parts, full traceability. We source LM1117IDTX-3.3/NOPB direct from TI authorized distribution. Every reel has date code traceability back to the TI fab. No remarked AMS1117s with the TI logo scrubbed on.
Cross-reference and BOM support. If your BOM calls for LM1117IDTX-3.3 but the SOT-223 version (LM1117MPX-3.3) fits your layout better, we'll flag it. Need an adjustable version? We stock the LM317AMDTX in the same TO-252 package.

A: Yes, with adequate output capacitance. The LM1117's 800mA rating covers ESP32 peak current (~500mA during WiFi TX). Add a 100µF bulk capacitor near the ESP32 module to handle ~300mA transmit current spikes lasting 100–400µs. Without it, the LDO's transient response can dip the rail and cause brownout resets.
A: The LM1117 control loop requires ESR between 0.3Ω and 22Ω on the output capacitor. MLCC capacitors have ESR well below 0.1Ω — too low. The loop phase margin collapses and the output oscillates. Fix: use a tantalum capacitor, or add a 0.5Ω–1Ω resistor in series with your ceramic cap. Per the TI LM1117-N datasheet (Rev L), the ESR requirement is explicit in the stability section.
A: No. A Li-ion cell ranges from 4.2V (full) to 3.0V (cutoff). At 3.7V nominal, the 1.2V dropout leaves only 2.5V at the output — not enough for 3.3V regulation. Use a buck-boost converter (TPS630xx) or a true low-dropout LDO (TPS73633, 75mV dropout) for Li-ion applications.
A: Package only. The IDTX is TO-252 (DPAK) with a metal tab for PCB heatsinking. The MPX is SOT-223, smaller footprint but higher thermal resistance. At 800mA from 5V, the TO-252 runs about 15–20°C cooler with the same PCB copper area. Choose TO-252 for >400mA continuous; SOT-223 for lighter loads.
A: The PCB copper is the heatsink. The TO-252's exposed tab solders directly to a copper pour on the PCB. At 800mA from 5V (1.36W dissipation), a 2cm² copper area keeps the junction within safe limits. For higher dissipation, increase the copper area or add thermal vias to a ground plane on the back side.
A: 4.5V minimum, 4.75V recommended. The 1.2V typical dropout plus some margin for line transients puts the practical minimum at ~4.5V. Below this, the output voltage drops and PSRR degrades significantly. A 5V USB rail (4.75V–5.25V) is the ideal input source.
