AMS1117-ADJ Pin Configuration
AMS1117-5.0 Pinout
Package: SOT-223
| Pin Number | Pin Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND/ADJ | -- / O | Ground / Adjustment |
| 2 | VOUT | O | Output Voltage |
| 3 | VIN | I | Input Supply Voltage |
Notes
- AMS1117-5.0 is a fixed 5.0V output linear regulator in SOT-223 package.
- Pin 1 serves as Ground in fixed-output mode; in adjustable configurations, it connects to the adjustment resistor network.
- Pin 2 (VOUT) is the regulated 5.0V output.
- Pin 3 (VIN) is the unregulated input supply (typically 6.5V–15V for 5.0V output).
- SOT-223 packages typically have a large exposed pad on the back; consult the mechanical drawing for thermal pad connection (often tied to GND or VOUT depending on application).

AMS1117-ADJ Absolute Maximum Ratings

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Input Supply Voltage | Input Supply Voltage | V IN | 18 | V |
| Lead Temperature (Soldering, 5 seconds) | Lead Temperature (Soldering, 5 seconds) | T Lead | 260 | °C |
| Operating Junction Temperature Range | Operating Junction Temperature Range | T J | 150 | °C |
| Storage Temperature Range | Storage Temperature Range | T stg | -65 ~ +150 | V |

| SOT-223-3L | Rja | 88 | °C /W | |

| SOT-89-3L | Rja | 102 | °C /W | |
| ESD Tolerance (Minimum) | ESD Tolerance (Minimum) | ESD | 2000 | V |
Note1: The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of maximum operating junction temperature, TJ (max), the junction to ambient thermal resistance, Rja, and the ambient temperature Tamb. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperature is given: PD (max) = (TJ (max) - Tamb)/ Rja, exceeding the maximum allowable power limit will result in excessive die temperature; thus, the regulator will go into thermal shutdown. The junction to ambient thermal resistance, θJA of some packages may be different, The value of θJA depends on mounting technique.
