Application Note
Thermal Considerations
SJ1117 series regulator have internal thermal limiting circuitry designed to protect the device during
overload conditions. For continuous normal load conditions however, the maximum junction temperature
rating of 125℃ must not be exceeded.
The thermal resistance for each application will be affected by thermal interactions with other
components on the board. Some experimentation will be necessary to determine the actual value.
