We consider the power supply regulators as the basic electronic circuit. Because the work of power supply is everywhere in the electronics industry. It has a wide range of applications and hence there are different power supplies that designers have made. It includes regulated unregulated, constant voltage, and constant current power supplies. Hence, the board modules are also there in the electronics market that works for the same purpose.
Introduction to AMS1117 Modules
The AMS1117 series of flexible, adjustable, and fixed power supply regulators are easy to use and are guaranteed against short circuits. It includes thermal protection circuitry which shut-down the circuit if the temperature get exceeds. The module has a pin-compatible three-terminal integrated circuit. Hence, it is great for devices having lower dropout voltage, precise tolerance, and improved stability with temperature.
