ZLDO1117QG33TA

Diodes Incorporated · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · SOT-223

ZLDO1117QG33TA from Diodes Incorporated, in a SOT-223. 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 pin for the fixed-mode (3.3V) variant ZLDO1117QG33TA. In adjustable variants, a resistor divider from this pin to VOUT sets the output voltage; for the fixed 3.3V version this pin is tied to system ground.
2 VOUT power_out Regulated 3.3V output (2% tolerance, up to 1A). A minimum 4.7uF capacitor (0.05Ω <= ESR <= 0.5Ω) must be connected from this pin to ground to ensure stability. A larger output capacitor is recommended for improved AC load response. Also connected to the exposed tab.
3 VIN power_in Input supply pin (-0.03V to +18V absolute max; 2.7V to 18V recommended). Typically a large storage capacitor (0.05Ω <= ESR <= 0.5Ω) is connected from this pin to ground to keep the input from sagging below the minimum dropout voltage during load transients. VIN must remain at least 1.3V above VOUT (1.5V for correct operation) for the device to regulate properly.
TAB VOUT (Tab) power_out Exposed metal tab electrically connected to VOUT. Used as the primary thermal path; solder to a copper heat-spreading pad on the PCB. Theta_JC = 16 °C/W and Theta_JA = 107 °C/W for SOT-223.

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
zldo1117qg33ta.step 64 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
zldo1117qg33ta-etched.step 2.1 MB You want the part with ZLDO1117QG33TA already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 525 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.
