GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The LSP1084 is a series of low dropout three-terminal
regulators with a dropout of 1.5V at 5A output current.
The LSP1084 series provides current limiting and
thermal shutdown. Its circuit includes a trimmed
bandgap reference to assure output voltage accuracy
to be within 2% for 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3.V, 5.0V and
adjustable versions. Current limit is trimmed to ensure
specified output current and controlled short-circuit
current. On-chip thermal shutdown provides protection
against any combination of overload and ambient
temperature that would create excessive junction
temperature.
The LSP1084 has an adjustable version that can
provide the output voltage from 1.25V to 12V with only
two external resistors.
The LSP1084 series is available in the industry
standard TO220-3L, TO263-3L and TO252-3L power
packages.

Vout=Vref*(1+R2/R1)+Iadj*R2
The LSP1084 keeps a constant 1.25V between the output pin and the adjust pin. By placing a resistor R1 across
these two pins a constant current flows through R1, adding to the Iadj current and into the R2 resistor producing a
voltage equal to the (1.25/R1)*R2+Iadj*R2 which will be added to the 1.25V to set the output voltage. This is
summarized in the above equation. Since the minimum load current requirement of the LSP1084 is 10mA, R1 is
typically selected to be 121Ω resistor so that it automatically satisfies the minimum current requirement. Notice that
since Iadj is typically in the range of 50uA it only adds a small error to the output voltage and should only be
considered when a very precise output voltage setting is required. For example, in a typical 3.3V application where
R1=121Ω and R2=200Ω the error due to Iadj is only 0.3% of the nominal set point.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS (CONTINUED)
Stability
The LSP1084 requires the use of an output capacitor as part of the frequency compensation in order to make the
regulator stable. For most applications a minimum of 100uF aluminum electrolytic capacitor insures both stability
and good transient response.
Thermal Design
The LSP1084 incorporates an internal thermal shutdown that protects the device when the junction temperature
exceeds the maximum allowable junction temperature. Although this device can operate with junction temperatures
in the range of 150℃, it is recommended that the selected heat sink be chosen such that during maximum
continuous load operation the junction temperature is kept below the temperature.

Tj=T

JA
<150℃
Layout Consideration
The output capacitors must be located as close to the Vout terminal of the device as possible. It is recommended to
use a section of a layer of the PC board as a plane to connect the Vout pin to the output capacitors to prevent any
high frequency oscillation that may result due to excessive trace inductance.
