Automotive 1A 18V low-dropout (LDO) linear regulator with high power-supply rejection ratio

The LM1117-Q1 is an AEC-Q100 qualified linear voltage regulator for automotive applications. The device provides improved performance compared to traditional x1117 regulators, with tighter output accuracy and low quiescent current (IQ) to minimize standby power consumption.

The LM1117-Q1 input voltage range is from 2.5V to 18V (20V absolute maximum). The device is available in 1.2V, 3.3V, 5V, and 12V fixed output voltages.

The wide bandwidth PSRR performance of the LM1117-Q1 is typically greater than 60dB at 1kHz and 40dB at 1MHz, which attenuates the switching frequency of an upstream DC/DC converter.

Additionally, the LM1117-Q1 has an internal soft-start feature to reduce inrush current during start-up, which helps save space and cost in a design by minimizing the need for input capacitance. The LM1117-Q1 features a foldback current limit that reduces the power dissipation of the device during high-load current faults or shorting events.
