1. Output voltage adjustment 3. Current Limit Protection
AME1117 is protected against overload conditions.
Like most regulators, the AME1117 regulates the Current protection is triggered at typically 1.5A.
output by comparing the output voltage to an inter-
nally generated reference voltage. On the adjust-
able version, the VREF is available externally as
1.25V between VOUT and ADJ. The voltage ratio 4. Stability and Load Regulation
formed by R1 and R2 should be set to conduct AME1117 requires a capacitor from VOUT to GND
10mA (minimum output load). The output voltage to provide compensation feedback to the internal
is given by the following equation: gain stage. This is to ensure stability at the output
terminal. Typically, a 10µF tantalum or 50µF alu-
minum electrolytic is sufficient.
V O U T = V R EF (1+ R2 ) + I AD J x R2
R1
Note: It is important that the ESR for this
capacitor does not exceed 0.5Ω.
On fixed versions of AME1117, the voltage divider
is provided internally.
The output capacitor does not have a theoretical
upper limit and increasing its value will increase

stability. COUT = 100µF or more is typical for high

IA D J is accomplished when the top of the resistor di-
50 µA vider (R1) is connected directly to the output pin of
R2 the AME1117. When so connected, RP is not mul-
tiplied by the divider ratio.
For fixed output versions, the top of R1 is internally

connected to the low side of the load in order to

5. Thermal Consideration
The AME1117 series contain thermal limiting cir-
cuitry designed to protect itself from over-tem-
perature conditions. Even for normal load condi-
tions, maximum junction temperature ratings must
not be exceeded. As mentioned in thermal protec-
tion section, we need to consider all sources of
thermal resistance between junction and ambient.
It includes junction-to-case, case-to-heat-sink in-
terface and heat sink thermal resistance itself.
Junction-to-case thermal resistance is specified
from the IC junction to the bottom of the case di-
rectly below the die. Proper mounting is required
to ensure the best possible thermal flow from this
area of the package to the heat sink. The case of
all devices in this product series is electrically con-
nected to the output. Therefore, if the case of the
device must be electrically isolated, a thermally con-
ductive spacer is recommended.
