The LM1086T-5.0 Low Dropout Regulator (or LDO) by HGSEMI is a three-terminal, positive voltage regulator with a TO-220-3 form factor. It is designed to provide 5.0V of start-up, energy conservation, and noise immunity at currents up to 1.5A. The LDO has a wide variety of features that enable superior performance, including low quiescent current, internal current limiting, thermal shut down, low output voltage noise, and low dropout voltage. It is RoHS compliant and is suitable for use in a variety of applications including computer peripherals, data processing, and telecommunication systems.
