AZ1117CD-1.5TRG1 Application Field and Working Principle

The AZ1117CD-1.5TRG1 from Diodes Inc. is a voltage regulator of the category Positive Voltage Regulators. It\'s a linear voltage regulator with a maximum output current of 1.5A. The device has a on/off shutdown mode, output voltage trim pins and an input voltage of 1.5V to 12V. In this article, we\'ll explain the main application field of this device as well as the working principle.

Application Field of the AZ1117CD-1.5TRG1 Voltage Regulator

The AZ1117CD-1.5TRG1 is mainly used as a DC to DC converter, which converts a higher DC voltage level to a lower DC voltage level. It can be used to convert the operating voltage of a device or circuit which operates on either 1.5V or 3V. It is also used to regulate the voltage of a power supply, such as a 12V power supply, to a lower voltage level, such as 5V. The AZ1117CD-1.5TRG1 has several features which make it suitable for this application, such as its high load regulation, low dropout voltage and its wide input voltage range.

Working Principle of the AZ1117CD-1.5TRG1 Voltage Regulator

The working principle of the AZ1117CD-1.5TRG1 is based on the voltage dropping principle. The device contains two MOSFET transistors which are used to regulate the output current. The input voltage is applied to the gate of one of the MOSFET transistors, and the output voltage is applied to the gate of the other MOSFET transistor. The two MOSFET transistors are connected in a "totem-pole" configuration. When the input voltage is greater than the output voltage, the two transistors switch on and off in sequence, allowing current to pass through the output lead. This creates a voltage drop between the input and output. This voltage drop is the output voltage of the device.

Conclusion

The AZ1117CD-1.5TRG1 from Diodes Inc. is a linear voltage regulator which can be used for DC to DC conversion and voltage regulation. It is suitable for a wide range of applications due to its high efficiency, low dropout voltage and wide input voltage range. It works on the basis of the voltage dropping principle, in which a voltage drop is created between the input and output voltage using two MOSFET transistors.
