* Although the devices’ maximum operating voltage is limited (20V for the 5V device, and 25V for the 12V and adjustable devices) the devices are
guaranteed to withstand transient input voltages up to 30V. For input voltages greater than the maximum operating input voltage, some degradation of
specifications will occur. For 5V and 12V devices operating at input-output voltage differentials >15V, a minimum external load of 5mA is required to
maintain regulation.

DESCRIPTION
The LT1085 is designed to provide 3A with higher efficiency than currently available devices. All internal circuitr y is
designed to operate down to 1V input to output differential and the dropout voltage is fully specified as a function of load
current. Dropout is guaranteed at a maximum of 1.5V at maximum output current, decreasing at lower load currents.
On-chip trimming adjusts the reference output voltage to 1%. Current limit is also trimmed, minimising the stress on both
the regulator and power source circuitry under overload conditions.
The LT1085 is pin compatible with older 3 terminal adjustable regulators. A 10mF output capacitor is required on these
new devices; however, this is usually included in most regulator designs.
Unlike PNP regulators, where up to 10% of the output current is wasted as quiescent current, the LT1085 quiescent
current flows into the load, increasing efficiency.

Notes:
1. See thermal regulation specifications for changes in output voltage due to heating effects. Load and line regulation are
measured at a constant junction temperature by low duty cycle pulse testing. Load regulation is measured at the output

” from the package.
2. Line and load regulation are guaranteed up to the maximum power dissipation of 30W. Power dissipation is determined
by the input - output differential and the output current. Guaranteed maximum power dissipation will not be available over
the full input - output voltage range.
3. Dropout voltage is specified over the full output current range of the device.
