Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix G1 confirms RoHS compliance and tube packaging as indicated by distributor listings. Confirm the manufacturer is Diodes Incorporated. Check for end-of-life status on related series variants like AZ2940D if long-term availability is critical. Ensure the TO-220F-3 footprint matches your PCB design requirements before ordering.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 5V output is required with 1A capacity. The low quiescent current of 25 mA makes it suitable for efficiency-conscious designs. The TO-220F-3 package offers thermal performance advantages over smaller SMD packages. Compare dropout voltage specifications against input voltage ranges to ensure regulation stability under varying load conditions.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Part Context

This part is part of the AZ2940 family of linear regulators. Other variants in the series include different output voltages such as 3.3V and 2.5V, and different packages like DPAK. The TF suffix typically denotes the TO-220F-3 package type. The G1 suffix often indicates environmental compliance and specific tape/reel or tube packaging configurations depending on the distributor.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include AZ2940TF-3.3G1 (3.3V output) and AZ2940TF-2.5G1 (2.5V output) if voltage adjustment is possible. Cross-brand replacements require matching 1A current rating, 5V output, and TO-220F-3 package dimensions. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics before substitution.
