General Description
APE1084 is a low dropout positive adjustable or
fixed-mode regulator with minimum of 5.0A 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.
APE1084 is also well suited for other applications
such as VGA cards. APE1084 is guaranteed to have
lower than 1.4V dropout at full load current making it
ideal to provide well-regulated outputs of 1.25 to
3.3V with 4.7 to 12V input supply.
1.4V maximum dropout at full load current
Built-in thermal shutdown
Output current limiting
Adjustable output voltage or fixed 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V,
3.3V, 5.0V
Fast transient response

Function
Adjustable (Ground only for fixed mode)
A resistor divider from this pin to the Vout pin and ground sets the
output voltage. (Ground only for Fixed-Mode)
The output of the regulator. A minimum of 10uF (0.15
Ω
≤
ESR
≤
20Ω) capacitor must be connected from this pin to ground to insure
stability.
The input pin of regulator. Typically a large storage capacitor (0.15Ω
≤
ESR
≤
20Ω) 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
(1.3V) 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 between input and output and the output current. Guaranteed maximum power dissipation will not be available over the
full input/output range.

Pb Free Plating Product
5A Low Dropout Positive Adjustable or Fixed-Mode Regulator
Functional Description
Introduction
The APE1084 adjustable Low Dropout (LDO) regulator
is a 3 terminal device that can easily be programmed
with the addition of two external resistors to any
voltages within the range of 1.25V to Vin-1.4V. The
APE1084 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 part of the
specification. For example, Intel VRE specification
calls for a total of +/- 100mV including initial tolerance,
load regulation and 0 to 5.0A load step.
The APE1084 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.
Output Voltage Setting
The APE1084 can be programmed to any voltages in
the range of 1.25V to Vin-1.4V with the addition of R1
and R2 external resistors according to the following
