LM1117IDTX-3.3/NOPB — 800mA Fixed 3.3V LDO Voltage Regulator (TO-252)

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.

Tab = VOUT (heatsink) 1ADJ/GND 2VOUT 3VIN GND (fixed ver) Vout / Tab Vin LM1117IDTX-3.3 TO-252-3 (DPAK) Tab is internally connected to VOUT. Use PCB copper pour for heatsinking.

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.

When Should You Use (and NOT Use) the LM1117IDTX-3.3?

Use LM1117IDTX-3.3 when:

  • 5V-to-3.3V regulation at up to 800mA. A 5V USB or ATX rail into an LM1117 gives a clean, low-noise 3.3V rail for microcontrollers, sensors, and logic. At 800mA, power dissipation is (5V−3.3V)×0.8A = 1.36W — manageable with the TO-252's 45°C/W θJA and a reasonable copper pour.
  • Post-regulation after a switching converter. A buck converter gives you efficiency; the LM1117 after it gives you low noise. Common in mixed-signal designs: buck for the high-current rail, LDO for the analog supply.
  • Industrial and automotive temperature range. −40°C to +125°C with ±3% accuracy across the full range means it works where AMS1117 clones drift or fail.
  • Drop-in AMS1117-3.3 replacement where quality matters. Same pinout, same package options. The TI part costs more but delivers tighter accuracy and guaranteed protection features.

Don't use LM1117IDTX-3.3 when:

  • Li-ion battery to 3.3V regulation. A single Li-ion cell (3.7V nominal, 3.0V cutoff) doesn't give enough headroom for the 1117's 1.2V dropout. Use a buck-boost converter or a true low-dropout regulator like the TPS73633 (75mV dropout).
  • Vin above 9V at high current. At 12V in and 800mA out, you're dissipating (12−3.3)×0.8 = 7W. Even with optimal PCB heatsinking, that's pushing the TO-252 beyond its thermal limit. Use a switching regulator for large Vin-Vout differentials.
  • Ultra-low standby power. The 1117 draws 5mA quiescent even at zero load. For battery-powered designs that sleep at microamps, use a low-IQ LDO like the LP5912-3.3 (30µA IQ).
  • Ceramic-only output capacitor without ESR consideration. The LM1117 was designed for tantalum capacitors with 0.3Ω–22Ω ESR. A pure MLCC on the output can cause oscillation. If you must use ceramic, add a series resistor or use a ceramic-stable LDO.

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.

How Much Does the LM1117IDTX-3.3/NOPB Cost and Is It in Stock?

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.

What Are the Typical Applications of LM1117IDTX-3.3?

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.

Frequently Asked Questions About LM1117IDTX-3.3/NOPB

Q1: Can I power an ESP32 directly from the LM1117IDTX-3.3 with a 5V USB supply?

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.

Q2: Why does my LM1117 oscillate with a ceramic output capacitor?

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.

Q3: Can I use the LM1117IDTX-3.3 from a single Li-ion cell?

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.

Q4: LM1117IDTX vs LM1117MPX — what's the difference?

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.

Q5: Do I need a heatsink on the LM1117IDTX-3.3?

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.

Q6: What's the minimum input voltage for reliable 3.3V output?

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.
