Output tolerance is 1.5 % on every fixed version except 1.2 V, which is 2 %. Includes thermal shutdown and current limiting, and takes up to 18 V in.

It is the heat path, so solder it to a copper pour on the output net — never to ground. All three footprints shipped here carry the tab as pad 2.++| Pin | Name | I/O | Function |+|---|---|---|---|+| 1 | GND/ADJ | —/O | Ground on fixed versions; adjust (feedback) node on the adjustable version |+| 2 | VOUT | O | Regulated output — also the metal tab |+| 3 | VIN | I | Input supply voltage, 18 V max |+| — | TAB | — | Thermal pad, bonded to pin 2 (VOUT) |++### Topside marking++| Package | Marking |+|---|---|+| SOT-223-3L | `AMS1117` / `3.3` + lot code |+| TO-252-2L | `1117 CD` / `3.3` + lot code |+| SOT-89-3L | `STK17` / `3.3` + lot code — note the different prefix |++## Internal structure++The pass element is a **single NPN transistor driven by a PNP**, so dropout is set by VDROP = VBE + VSAT — which is why this family cannot get below about 1 V and why dropout rises with load. Fixed and adjustable versions are the **same die**: an on-chip link selection (F1 and F2 connected with A open for fixed, A connected with F1 and F2 open for adjustable) either wires the internal divider to the output or brings the feedback node out on pin 1.++## Component variants++All variants are the same silicon. The order code carries the **package** and the **output voltage** independently. Unlike the AMS original, UMW spells the adjustable version out as `-ADJ` rather than leaving the suffix blank.++The order code is `AMS1117` `{CD | blank}` `-{voltage | ADJ}` `{S}` — where `CD` = TO-252-2L, blank = SOT-223-3L, and a trailing `S` selects SOT-89-3L.++| Package | Code | Body | RθJA | Fixed order codes |+|---|---|---|---|---|+| SOT-223-3L | *(none)* | 5.90–6.70 × 3.90 ±0.30 mm, 1.60 ±0.15 mm high, 2.30 mm TYP pitch | 88 °C/W | `AMS1117-1.2` … `AMS1117-5.0` |+| TO-252-2L | `CD` | 6.40–6.70 × 6.00–6.30 mm, 2.20–2.30 mm high | 86 °C/W | `AMS1117CD-1.2` … `AMS1117CD-5.0` |+| SOT-89-3L | `S` | 4.50 ±0.30 × 2.45 ±0.30 mm, 1.50 ±0.20 mm thick, 3.00 mm BSC pitch | 102 °C/W | `AMS1117-1.2S` … `AMS1117-5.0S` |++The AMS original offers an **8-lead SOIC** in place of SOT-89, and a **2.85 V** version that UMW does not carry.

[**Large Automotive Eth Switch Molecule**](https://wiki.adom.inc/adom/large-automotive-eth-switch-molecule) — an AMS1117-1.2 supplies the KSZ9131 gigabit PHY 1.2 V core rail (U902) from the board's 3.3 V rail. 1.2 V is a UMW-only version, so this is a UMW part.+2. [**1 A Low-Dropout Regulator AMS — AMS1117**](https://wiki.adom.inc/adom/ams-ams1117) — the original Advanced Monolithic Systems part.++## Application notes++- **Typical circuit is 10 µF in, 22 µF out.** The output capacitor is part of the device's stability, not just decoupling. 22 µF tantalum covers every case including a bypassed adjust pin; the datasheet is explicit that stability degrades as output current rises.+- **Dropout is load-dependent and specified all the way to 1 A** — 1.20 V max at 100 mA rising to 1.30 V max at the full amp. Size the input rail from the 1 A figure unless the load is genuinely light.+- **Current limit is high.** At 2.1 – 2.5 A this part will push well past its 1 A rating into a fault before folding back, so the thermal path, not the current limit, is what protects the board. Thermal shutdown is at 150 °C.+- **Copper is the heat sink.** PD(max) = (TJ(max) − Tamb) / RθJA, and the datasheet is clear that RθJA depends on mounting technique — the 88 / 86 / 102 °C/W figures are a starting point, not a guarantee.+- **Adjustable output:** VOUT = VREF × (1 + R2/R1) + IADJ × R2, with VREF = 1.25 V and IADJ ≈ 60 µA.++## Provenance++- **Datasheet:** [UMW / Youtai Semiconductor AMS1117, *1 A LDO Voltage Regulator*](docs/ams1117-datasheet-umw.pdf) — every electrical number on this page is read from it. Nothing from the Advanced Monolithic Systems datasheet is mixed in.+- **The 2 % accuracy call on the 1.2 V version** resolves a contradiction inside the datasheet itself, in favour of the Electrical Characteristics table over the Features bullet.+- **Symbol:** generated with `adom-symbol` to the datasheet's pin description table (1 = GND/ADJ, 2 = VOUT, 3 = VIN).+- **Footprints:** KiCad 10 official library land patterns, renamed — `SOT-223-3_TabPin2`, `TO-252-3_TabPin2`, `SOT-89-3`. The `TabPin2` variants are correct here because the AMS1117 tab is VOUT, which is pin 2.+- **3D models:** the matching KiCad 10 official STEP models, converted to GLB with `step2glb`.+- **Canonical JSON:** imported from the KiCad symbol + SOT-223 footprint with `adom-lbr import-kicad`.+- **Fusion and Altium libraries are deliberately absent** — they are generated rather than hand-verified, and the generated Altium symbol encoding has produced wrong geometry before.
