Typical Application

The LM1117 is a versatile and high performance linear regulator with a wide temperature range and tight line/ load regulation operation. An output capacitor is required to further improve transient response and stability. For the adjustable option, the ADJ pin can also be bypassed to achieve very high ripple-rejection ratios. The LM1117 is versatile in its applications, including being used as a post regulator for DC/DC converters, battery chargers, and microprocessor supplies.
