General Description
AP1084 is a low dropout positive adjustable or fixed-mode
regulator with 5.0A output current capability. The product is
specifically designed to provide well-regulated supply for low
voltage IC applications such as high-speed bus termination and
low current 3.3V logic supply. AP1084 is also well suited for other
applications such as VGA cards. AP1084 is guaranteed to have
lower than 1.4V dropout at full load current making it ideal to
provide well-regulated outputs of 1.25 to 3.3V with 4.7 to
12V input supply.

The output of the regulator. A m inimum of 10uF (0.15Ω ≤ ESR ≤ 20Ω) capacitor must
be connected from this pin to ground to insure stability.
The input pin of regulator. Typically a large storage capacitor is connected from this
pin to ground to insure that the input voltage does not sag below the minimum
dropout voltage during the load transient response. This pin must always be 1.4V
(1.3V) higher than V
in order for the device to regulate properly.
