RH1084 Datasheet, PDF (1/4 Pages) Linear Technology – 5A Low Dropout Positive Adjustable Regulator

RH1084
5A Low Dropout
Positive Adjustable Regulator
DESCRIPTIO
The RH1084 positive adjustable regulator is designed to
provide 5A 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 trim-
ming adjusts the output voltage to 1%. Current limit is also
trimmed, minimizing the stress on both the regulator and
power source circuitry under overload conditions.
The RH1084 is pin compatible with older 3-terminal regu-
lators. A 10μF output capacitor is required on these new
device. However, this is usually included in most regulator
designs.
The wafer lots are processed to Linear Technology
Corporation’s in-house Class S flow-to-yield circuits
usable in stringent military applications.
