GU1086
The GU1086 is a low dropout positive adjustable or fixed-mode regulator with minimum of 1.5A output current
capability. The product is specifically designed to provide well-regulated supply for low voltage IC applications
such as high-speed bus termination and low current 3.3V logic supply. GU1086 is also well suited for other
applications such as VGA cards. GU1086 is guaranteed to have <1.4V dropout at full load current making it
ideal to provide well-regulated outputs of 1.25 to 5.0V with 4.7 to 12V input supply by different output voltage.

The output of the regulator. A minimum of 10uF capacitor must be connected from this pin to
ground to insure stability.
The input pin of regulator. Typically a large storage capacitor is connected from this pin to ground
to insure that the input voltage does not sag below the minimum dropout voltage during the load
transient response. This pin must always be 1.4V higher than Vout in order for the device to
regulate properly.

Note 1: See thermal regulation specifications for changes in output voltage due to heating effects. Line and load regulation are measured
at a constant junction Temperature by low duty cycle pulse testing. Load regulation is measured at the output lead =1/18” from the
package.
Note 2: Line and load regulation are guaranteed up to the maximum power dissipation of 15W. Power dissipation is determined by the
difference in input and output and the output current. Guaranteed maximum power dissipation will not be available over the full
input/output range.

Functional Description
Introduction
The GU1086 adjustable or fixed-mode Low Dropout (LDO) regulator is a 3 terminal device which can easily be
programmed by internal mask change to any voltage within the range of 1.25 to Vin-1.4V. The GU1086 only needs 1.4V
differential between Vin and Vout to maintain output regulation, in addition, the output voltage tolerances are also extremely
tight and they include the transient response as port of the specification. For example, Intel VRE specification calls for a
total of ±100mV including initial tolerance, load regulation and 0 to 1.5A load step. The GU1086 is specifically designed to
meet the fast current transient needs as well as providing an accurate initial voltage, reducing the overall system cost with
the need for fewer output capacitors.
Load Regulation
Since the GU1086 is only a 3 terminal device, it is not possible to provide true remote sensing of the output voltage at the
load. But it can supply good load regulation by internal feedback bypass the external loss such as adjustable mode.
Stability
The GU1086 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 10uF aluminum electrolytic capacitor insures both stability and good transient
response.
Thermal Design
The GU1086 incorporates an internal shutdown that protects the device when the junction temperature exceeds the
maximum allowable junction temperatures. 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.
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.
