DESCRIPTION
The LD1085 is a LOW DROP Voltage Regulator
able to provide up to 3A of Output Current.
Dropout is guaranteed at a maximum of 1.5V at
the maximum output current, decreasing at
lower loads. The LD1085 is pin compatible with
older 3-terminal adjustable regulators, but has
better performances in term of drop and output
tolerance. A 2.85V 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 LD1085
quiescent current flow into the load, so increase
efficency. Only a 10 µF minimum capacitor is
need for stability. The device is supplied in
TO-220, D2PAK and D2PAK/A packages. On
chip trimming allows the regulator to reach a
very tight output voltage tolerance, within ±1%
at 25oC.
