LD1117AS18TR

STMicroelectronics · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · SOT-223-3

LD1117AS18TR from STMicroelectronics, in a SOT-223-3. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 ADJ/GND power_in Ground reference pin for the fixed-output versions (LD1117AS18 uses this pin as GND). On the adjustable variant this same pin is the ADJ feedback input (VREF = 1.25 V to the external divider). Connect to system ground for the LD1117AS18TR (1.8 V fixed).
2 VOUT power_out Regulated 1.8 V output. Sources up to 1 A (1.2 A typical current limit). Requires a minimum 10 µF output capacitor to GND for loop stability. The SOT-223 tab is internally connected to this pin.
3 VIN power_in Unregulated DC input supply. Operating input voltage up to 10 V (absolute max 15 V). Dropout ≤1.15 V typ at 1 A, so VIN must be ≥ VOUT + VDROPOUT. A 100 nF input capacitor is recommended close to the pin.
TAB VOUT power_out SOT-223 thermal tab, internally shorted to the VOUT pin (pin 2). Provides the primary heat-sinking path (RthJC = 15 °C/W, RthJA = 110 °C/W). Solder to a copper pour tied to VOUT to improve thermal performance.

CAD (KiCad official)

  • Symbol: LD1117AS18TR
  • Footprint: Package_TO_SOT_SMD:SOT-223-3_TabPin2
  • 3D model: SOT-223-3 (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
  • 3D model files: ld1117as18tr-etched.step / ld1117as18tr-etched.glb carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable Adom.LaserEtch group (Fusion-ready); ld1117as18tr.step / ld1117as18tr.glb are the bare package body.

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
ld1117as18tr.step 64 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
ld1117as18tr-etched.step 1.8 MB You want the part with LD1117AS18TR already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 454 faces against 75 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.
