5A Adjustable Low Dropout
Linear Regulator (LDO)
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
L1084
TO-252, 263, 220
The L1084 is a positive and low dropout
three-terminal voltage regulator with 5A output current capability. This device is designed for use in low voltage applications that
offers lower dropout voltage and faster transient response.
This device is fully protected against over
current faults, over temperature operation,
reversed input polarity, reversed lead insertion, transient voltage spike …etc.
On-Chips trimming the reference voltage to
1% and features the low dropout of maximum 1.45 volts.
The L1084 Series regulators are available
in the popular industry standard TO-220,
TO-263 and TO-252 packages.
TYPICAL APPLICATION
z Very easy to use, it requires only two
external resistors to set the output voltage
z Low dropout voltage:
1.2V typical at up to 5A
z Low ground current
z Fast transient response
z Current & thermal limiting
z Line regulation: 0.5% typical
z Load regulation: 0.5% typical
z TO-220, TO-263 and TO-252 packages
APPLICATIONS
z High current microprocessor supplies
z Low voltage logic supply
z Powering VGA & sound card
z Portable instrumentation
z Constant current regulator
z Post regulator for switching power supply
