DESCRIPTION

The LT1085 is designed to provide 3A with higher efficiency than currently available devices. All internal circuitry is designed to operate down to 1V input to output differential and the dropout voltage is fully specified as a function of load current. Dropout is guaranteed at a maximum of 1.5V at maximum output current, decreasing at lower load currents. On-chip trimming adjusts the reference output voltage to 1. Current limit is also trimmed, minimising the stress on both the regulator and power source circuitry under overload conditions.
