DESCRIPTIO
3-Terminal Adjustable or Fixed
2.85V, 3.3V, 3.6V, 5V, 12V
Output Current of 1.5A (0.5A for LT1086H)
Operates Down to 1V Dropout
Guaranteed Dropout Voltage at Multiple Current Levels
Line Regulation: 0.015%
Load Regulation: 0.1%
100% Thermal Limit Functional Test
Ripple Rejection >75dB
Available in 3-Pin TO-220 and 3-Pin DD Packages
The LT
®
1086 is designed to provide up to 1.5A output
current. 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 several operating points up to a maximum
of 1.5V at maximum output current. Dropout decreases at
lower load currents. On-chip trimming adjusts the refer-
ence/ouput voltage to 1%. Current limit is also trimmed,
minimizing the stress on both the regulator and power
source circuitry under overload conditions.
The LT1086 is pin compatible with older 3-terminal adjust-
able regulators. A minimum 10µF output capacitor is
required on these devices.
The LT1086 offers excellent line and load regulation speci-
fications and ripple rejection exceeds 75dB even at the
maximum load current of 1.5A. The LT1086 is floating
architecture with a composite NPN output stage. All of the
quiescent current and the drive current for the output
stage flows to the load increasing efficiency.
The LT1086 is available in a 3-pin TO-220 package and a
space-saving surface mountable 3-pin DD package.

*
Although the device’s maximum operating voltage is limited, (18V for a
2.85V device, 20V for a 5V device, and 25V for adjustable and12V devices) the
devices are guaranteed to withstand transient input voltages up to 30V. For
input voltages greater than the maximum operating input voltage some
degradation of specifications will occur. For fixed voltage devices operating at
input/output voltage differentials greater than 15V, a minimum external load
of 5mA is required to maintain regulation.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life of
a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
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
≈1/8"
from the package.
Note 3:
Line and load regulation are guaranteed up to the maximum power
dissipation of 15W (3W for the LT1086H). Power dissipation is determined
by the input/output differential and the output current. Guaranteed
maximum power dissipation will not be available over the full input/output
range. See Short-Circuit Current curve for available output current.
Note 4:
Dropout voltage is specified over the full output current range of
the device. Test points and limits are shown on the Dropout Voltage curve.
Note 5:
Minimum load current is defined as the minimum output current
required to maintain regulation. At 25V input/output differential the device
is guaranteed to regulate if the output current is greater than 10mA.
