LD1085C
3 A low-drop, adjustable positive voltage regulator
Datasheet
-
production data
The device is supplied in DPAK. The on-chip
trimming allows the regulator to reach a very tight
output voltage tolerance, within ± 2% at 25 °C.

Description
The LD1085C is a low-drop voltage regulator,
providing up to 3 A of output current.The dropout
is guaranteed to be as low as 1.5 V at the
maximum current and it decreases at lower loads.
The LD1085C is pin-to-pin compatible with the old
3-terminal adjustable regulators, but it has better
performances in terms of drop and output
tolerance.
Unlike PNP regulators, where a part of the output
current is wasted as quiescent current, the
LD1085C quiescent current flows into the load, so
to increase the efficiency. A minimum capacitor of
10 µF is needed for stability.
