The LM1117S-ADJ is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the LM1117 series, which is a family of low dropout voltage regulators. It is a versatile component widely used in various electronic circuits to provide regulated power supply. The LM1117S-ADJ is capable of regulating an input voltage range of 1.4V to 15V down to an adjustable output voltage in the range of 1.25V to 13.8V.
One of the key features of the LM1117S-ADJ is its low dropout voltage. It can regulate the output voltage even when the input voltage is just slightly higher than the desired output voltage. This low dropout voltage makes it highly efficient and suitable for applications where a stable and regulated power supply is required, even with limited input voltage.
Another noteworthy feature is its adjustable output voltage. The LM1117S-ADJ has a built-in voltage divider network that allows users to set the desired output voltage within a wide range using just two external resistors. This adjustable output voltage capability provides flexibility for different applications and simplifies the design process.
Furthermore, the LM1117S-ADJ offers excellent line and load regulation. Line regulation refers to how well the component maintains a stable output voltage despite fluctuations in the input voltage, while load regulation measures its ability to maintain a consistent output voltage as the load current changes
