The APL1085 is a low dropout three-terminal adjustable regulator with 3A output current capability.  In 
order to obtain lower dropout voltage and faster transient response, which is critical for low voltage 
applications, the APL1085 has been optimized. The 
output available voltage range of adjustable version 
is from 1.25~5.75V with an input supply below 7V , 
and the fixed 3.3V output voltage device is also 
available.
Current limit is trimmed to ensure specified output 
current and controlled short-circuit current. On-chip 
thermal limiting provides protection against any combination of overload that would create excessive junction temperatures.
The APL1085 is available in both the through-hole 
and surface mount versions of the industry standard
