5A Adjustable Low Dropout
Linear Regulator (LDO)
FEATURES
L1084S5
TO-263
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The L1084 is a positive and low dropout
three-terminal voltage regulator with 5A out-
put current capability. This device is design-
ed for use in low voltage applications that
offers lower dropout voltage and faster tran-
sient response.
This device is fully protected against over
current faults, over temperature operation,
reversed input polarity, reversed lead insert-
ion, transient voltage spike 鈥tc.
On-Chips trimming the reference voltage to
1% and features the low dropout of maxi-
mum 1.45 volts.
The L1084 Series regulators are available
in the popular industry standard TO-263
packages.
Very easy to use, it requires only two
external resistors to set the output voltage
Low dropout voltage:
1.2V typical at up to 5A
Low ground current
Fast transient response
Current & thermal limiting
Line regulation: 0.5% typical
Load regulation: 0.5% typical
