The AMS1117 provides up to 1A output with a dropout voltage around 1.1V at full load. Fixed versions include 3.3V, 5.0V, 2.5V, 1.8V and 1.2V; adjustable version sets output with two resistors.
Available in SOT-223, SOT-89 and TO-252. SOT-223 is the most common for board-level regulation.
Used to derive 3.3V/1.8V rails from 5V in MCU boards, WiFi modules, sensors and audio circuits.
Originated by AMS (Advanced Monolithic Systems) and produced by many vendors including DIODES (AP1117). Check dropout and thermal needs. HuaXinGou stocks common fixed versions.
