5A Low Dropout Voltage Regulator
Product Description
The GS1084L is a low drop voltage regulator able
to provide up to 5A output current. The dropout
voltage of the device is guaranteed at a maximum
1.5V at the maximum output current, decreasing
at lower loads.
The GS1084L is pin compatible with older
3-terminal adjustable regulators, but has better
performances in term of drop and output
tolerance.
Features
Three Terminal Adjustable or Fixed Output
Voltages 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V and 5V
Guaranteed Output Current up to 5A
Typical Dropout 1.3V (at 5A)
Output Tolerance: ±2% at 25ºC
Wind Operating Temperature Range: -40ºC
to 125ºC
Package Available: TO-220, TO-263,
TO-252, and SOT-223
Applications
Post Regulators for Switching Supply
Battery-Powered Circuitry
Low Voltage Logic Supplies
High efficiency linear regulators
Adjustable power supply

NOTE 1:
For GS1084L(adjustable) V
ADJ
=0V
NOTE 2:
For the adjustable device the minimum load current is the minimum current required to maintain
regulation. Normally the current in the resistor divider used to set the output voltage is selected to meet
the minimum load current requirement.
NOTE 3 :
The specification represent the minimum input/output voltage required to maintain 1% regulation.
