Description
The LD1084XX 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 LD1084XX is pin to pin compatible
with the older 3-terminal adjustable regulators, but
has better performances in term of drop and
output tolerance.
LD1084XX
TO-220
The device is supplied in TO-220. On chip
trimming allows the regulator to reach a very tight
output voltage tolerance, within ± 1 % at 25 °C.
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 LD1084XX quiescent current flows
into the load, so increase efficiency. Only a 10 µF
minimum capacitor is need for stability.
Note:Absolute maximum ratings are those values beyond which damage to the device may occur.
Functional operation under these condition is not implied.
