 NCP1117ST50T3G schematic symbol |
Almost all modern digital electronic devices require low level DC voltages for their functioning. This low DC voltage allows these electronics devices to be battery-powered, portable, lightweight and safe. The typical power supply voltage range for these devices is 3.3V to 5V. Many digital electronic devices require AC mains power supply for charging or direct power up. In such cases rectifier circuits are required to convert the AC power to DC power. These rectifier circuits use diodes, capacitors and voltage regulators to provide low level DC voltage to the electronic components. When a diode bridge converts the AC voltage to DC voltage, the output voltage contains high ripple content which degrades power quality. Capacitors and voltage regulators are used in such power conversion circuits to eliminate the ripple and output a stable DC voltage to the electronic load such as microprocessors or TFTs.

How NCP1117ST50T3G work?
The NCP1117ST50T3G is a low-drop positive voltage regulator which is widely used in switching power supply circuits to get fixed and stable 5V output. One of the most common NCP1117ST50T3G based circuit is the full wave diode rectifier power supply. In this power supply, the first stage is a power transformer which steps down 220/120VAC to 5VAC. The 2nd circuit stage is the diode rectifier which converts the 5VAC to 5VDC. The 3rd stage in the circuit is the LD1117 regulator which removes the ripple from the converted DC voltage and provides a stable DC voltage at the output.
