The KD1083 is a low drop linear voltage regula tor,
proposed both in adjustable and fixed version and
designed for use in applications requiring output

insufficient heatsinking. The KD1083 is fully pin to
pin compatible with the older 3-terminal adjustable
regulators, but it has better performances in terms
of drop and output voltage precis ion.
On chip trimming allows the regulator to reach a
very t ight output voltage tolerance, within ±2% at
25°C and 2% over the full temperature range.
Unlike v oltage regulators using a PNP transistor
as series pass element in which a considerable
fraction of the output current is wasted as
quiescent current, the LD1083 quiescent current
flows almost entirely into the load, improving the
efficiency.
Only a 10µF minimum capacitor is required for
output stability.
