Can it be replaced directly?

Direct replacement for AMS1117-3.3V should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.

Best replacement path

Start with NCP1117ST33T3G, then verify package drawing and pin functions.

Main risk

Pinout and package equivalence are not verified.
