The LM1117MPX-3.3/NOPB is a high-performance voltage regulator integrated circuit (IC) manufactured by Texas Instruments. It offers a constant output voltage of 3.3 volts with a maximum output current of 800mA. The device is specifically designed to provide a clean and stable power supply for various electronic systems. It is commonly used in applications such as power management in microcontrollers, sensors, and analog circuits.
One of the key features of the LM1117MPX-3.3/NOPB is its low dropout voltage. This means that even when the input voltage is only slightly higher than the desired output voltage, the IC can still regulate the output voltage effectively. This feature is crucial in scenarios where there is a small voltage difference between the input and output, as it ensures proper functioning of the connected components.
The IC also incorporates thermal overload protection, which guards against excessive heat buildup that could potentially damage the device. This protection mechanism automatically shuts down the regulator temporarily if the temperature exceeds the specified limit, thereby protecting the IC and preventing any possible failures.
Another important feature of the LM1117MPX-3.3/NOPB is its excellent line regulation, ensuring a stable output voltage even when there are fluctuations in the input voltage. This makes it suitable for use in applications where a consistent voltage level is required.
The IC is available in a small SOT-223 package, which allows for easy integration into compact circuit designs
