LT1185CT#PBF Analog Devices

LT1185 Low Dropout Regulator FEATURES The LT1185 uses a saturation-limited NPN transistor as Low Resistance Pass Transistor: 0.25 Dropout Voltage: 0.75V at 3A the pass element. This device gives the linear dropout characteristics of a FET pass element with significantly 1% Reference Voltage less die area. High efficiency is maintained by using special Accurate Programmable Current Limit Shutdown Capability anti-saturation circuitry that adjusts base drive to track load current. The on resistance is typically 0.25. Internal Reference Available Full Remote Sense Accurate current limit is programmed with a single 1/8W Low Quiescent Current: 2.5mA external resistor, with a range of zero to three amperes. A Good High Frequency Ripple Rejection second, fixed internal limit circuit prevents destructive Available in 5-Lead TO-220 and DD Packages currents if the programming current is accidentally over- ranged. Shutdown of the regulator output is guaranteed when the program current is less than 1A, allowing DESCRIPTIO external logic control of output voltage. The LT 1185 is a 3A low dropout regulator with adjustable The LT1185 has all the protection features of previous current limit and remote sense capability. It can be used as LTC regulators, including power limiting and thermal a positive output regulator with floating input or as a shutdown. standard negative regulator with grounded input. The output voltage range is 2.5V to 25V, with 1% accuracy on , LT, LTC and LTM are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.
