Description
The KD1084 is a low drop voltage regulator able
to provide up to 5 A of output current. Dropout is
guaranteed at a maximum of 1.5 V at the
maximum output current, decreasing at lower
loads. The KD1084 is pin to pin compatible with
he older 3-terminal adjustable regulators but has
better performances in term of drop and output
tolerance. A 2.85 V output version is suitable for
SCSI-2 active termination. Unlike PNP regulators,
where a part of the output current is wasted as
quiescent current, the KD1084 quiescent current
flows into the load, so increase efficiency. Only a
10 µF minimum capacitor is need for stability. The
devices are supplied in D²PAK and DPAK. On chip
trimming allows the regulator to reach a very tight
output voltage tolerance, within ±1% at 25 °C for
