RS1117A
1.0A Low Dropout Positive Voltage Regulator
DESCRIPTION
The RS1117A is a 1A low-dropout positive voltage
regulator. It is available in fixed and adjustable output
voltage versions. Over current and thermal protection
are integrated onto the chip. Output current will limit as
while it reaches the pre‐set current or temperature
limit. The dropout voltage is specified at 1.40V
Maximum at full rated output current. The RS1117A
series provides excellent regulation over line, load and
temperature variations.

FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
OUTPUT VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT
Like most regulators, RS1117A series regulate the output by comparing the output voltage to an internally generated
reference voltage. On the adjustable version, the VREF is available externally as 1.25V between VOUT and ADJ. The
voltage ratio formed by R1 and R2 should be set to conduct 10mA (minimum output load). The output voltage is given by
the following equation: VOUT =VREF (1+R2/R1) + IADJ R2
Figure 1
On fixed versions of RS1117A series, the voltage divider is provided internally.
THERMAL PROTECTION
RS1117A series have thermal protection which limits junction temperature to 150℃. However, device functionality is
only guaranteed to a maximum junction temperature of +125℃.
The power dissipation and junction temperature for RS1117A in all packages given by P D=(VIN-VOUT)IOUT,
TJUNCTION=TAMBIENT+(PDθJA), Note: TJUNCTION must not exceed 125℃.
CURRENT LIMIT PROTECTION
RS1117A series are protected against overload conditions. Current protection is triggered at typically 1.5A.
STABILITY AND LOAD REGULATION
RS1117A series require a capacitor from VOUT to GND to provide compensation feedback to the internal gain stage. This
is to ensure stability at the output terminal. Typically, a 47μF tantalum or 100μF aluminum electrolytic is sufficient.
Note: It is important that the ESR for this capacitor does not exceed 0.5Ω.
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 current regulator design.
RS1117A series load regulation are limited by the resistance of the wire connecting it to the load(RP). For the adjustable
version, the best load regulation is accomplished when the top of the resistor divider(R1) is connected directly to the
output pin of the RS1117A series. When so connected, RP is not multiplied by the divider ratio. For fixed output versions,
the top of R1 is internally connected to the output and ground pin can be connected to low side of the load as a negative
side sense if, so desired.

THERMAL CONSIDERATION
The RS1117A series contain thermal limiting circuitry designed to protect itself for over-temperature conditions. Even for
normal load conditions, maximum junction temperature ratings must not be exceeded. As mention in thermal protection
section, we need to consider all sources of thermal resistance between junction and ambient. It contains junction-to-case,
case-to-heat-sink interface and heat sink resistance itself. An additional heat sink is applied externally sometimes. It can
increase the maximum power dissipation. For example, the equivalent junction temperature of 300mA output current is
115℃ without external heat sink. Under the same junction temperature IC can operates 500mA with an adequate heat
sink.
Therefore, to attach an extra heat sink is recommended.
Junction-to-case thermal resistance is specified from the IC junction to the bottom of the case directly below the die. The
bonding wires are appending paths. The former is the lowest resistance path. Proper mounting is required to ensure the
best possible thermal flow this area of the package to the heat sink. Thermal compound at the case-to-heat-sink
interface is strongly recommended. The case of all devices in this series is electrically connected to the output. Therefore,
if the case of the device must be electrically isolated, a thermally conductive spacer can be used, as long its thermal
resistance is considered.
PROTECTION DIODE
(The figure is shown as Regulator with Reverse Diode Protection in advanced applications)
In general operation, RS1117A series don’t need any protection diodes. From the cross-section structure of RS1117A
series, the output pin is connected to P+ substrate, and the input pin is connected to N-well. There is a parasitic reverse
diode between them. It can handle microsecond surge currents of 5A to 10A. Even with large output capacitance, it is
very difficult to get those values of surge currents in normal operation. Only with high value output capacitors, such as
1000μF.
And with the input pin instantaneously shorted to ground, can damage occur. A crowbar circuit at the input of the
RS1117A series can generate those kinds of currents, and a diode from output to input is recommended. Normal power
supply cycling or even plugging and unplugging in the system will not generate currents large enough to do any damage.
