AIC1085
3A Low Dropout Positive Regulator
FEATURES
Dropout Voltage 1.3V at 3A Output Current.
Fast Transient Response.
Extremely Tight Line and Load Regulation.
Current Limiting and Thermal Protection.
Adjustable Output Voltage or Fixed 1.5V, 1.8V,
2.5V and 3.3V.
Standard 3-Pin Power Packages.
DESCRIPTION
The AIC1085 is a low dropout three terminal
regulator with 3A output current capability. The
output voltage is adjustable with the use of a
resistor divider or fixed 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V and 3.3V.
Dropout voltage is guaranteed to be at a maximum
of 1.4V with the maximum output current. Its low
dropout voltage and fast transient response make
it ideal for low voltage microprocessor applications.
Current limiting and thermal protection provides
protection against any overload condition that
would create excessive junction temperatures.
APPLICATIONS
Mother Board I/O Power Supplies.
Microprocessor Power Supplies.
High Current Regulator.
Post Regulator for Switching Supply.

=25°C. Specifications over the -40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation with Statistical Quality
Controls (SQC).
