SparkoS SS1117-05 Voltage Regulator +5V

The SS1117-05 Voltage Regulator from SparkoS delivers an exceptionally clean +5V supply, engineered specifically for audiophiles and electronics enthusiasts who demand the highest signal purity. This precision component is ideal for powering sensitive audio circuits such as preamplifiers, DACs, headphone amplifiers, and other low-noise analogue stages where even minuscule interference can degrade sound quality. Its ultra-low-noise performance makes it equally suitable for reference voltage applications in measurement equipment or high-fidelity digital audio converters.

At the heart of this regulator lies a remarkable ripple and noise specification of just 3.2 µV RMS output noise, with a load regulation of only 2 mV, ensuring a rock-steady voltage under varying current demands. It can deliver up to 1 A of continuous output current, with a maximum output power of 5 W, making it robust enough for many demanding circuits. The device includes overcurrent protection for added reliability, though adequate heatsinking is required to manage thermal dissipation. While the maximum input voltage is rated at 40 V, it is not recommended for continuous use at this level; a lower input voltage is advised for optimal performance and thermal management.

Combining SparkoS’s renowned build quality with exceptional noise suppression, the SS1117-05 is the definitive choice for achieving pristine power delivery in your most critical audio projects.
