Description
The LD1085 is a low drop voltage regulator able
to provide up to 3 A of output current. Dropout is
guaranteed at a maximum of 1.2 V at the
maximum output current, decreasing at lower
loads. The LD1085 is pin-to-pin compatible with
the older 3-terminal adjustable regulators, but
offers better performance in terms of drop and
output tolerance.
Unlike PNP regulators, where a part of the output
current is wasted as quiescent current, the
LD1085 quiescent current flows into the load,
thus increase efficiency. Only a 10 µF minimum
capacitor is need for stability.
The device is supplied in TO-220, TO-220FP,
D²PAK and D²PAK/A packages. On-chip trimming
allows the regulator to reach a very tight output
voltage tolerance, within ± 1% at 25 °C.
