The LM1117IDTX-3.3/NOPB is an integrated circuit (IC) component manufactured by Texas Instruments. This IC is a low-dropout voltage regulator that provides a fixed output of 3.3 volts. It is widely used in various electronic devices where a stable and regulated power supply is required.
Key features of the LM1117IDTX-3.3/NOPB include its ability to provide a regulated output voltage with a low dropout voltage. The dropout voltage refers to the minimum voltage difference between the input and output that is required for the IC to function properly. In this case, the dropout voltage is as low as 1.2 volts, meaning it can efficiently regulate the output even when the input voltage is close to the desired output voltage.
This IC also has a high output current capability, making it suitable for powering a wide range of devices. It can provide up to 800 milliamperes (mA) of continuous output current, which is higher compared to many other voltage regulators in its class. This high output current capability allows the LM1117IDTX-3.3/NOPB to effectively power components that require a significant amount of power.
Another important feature of this IC is its thermal shutdown protection. The LM1117IDTX-3.3/NOPB is designed to automatically shut down if the temperature exceeds a safe operating limit
