AZ1085C
3A LOW DROPOUT LINEAR REGULATOR
Description
The AZ1085C is a series of low dropout positive voltage regulators
with a maximum dropout of 1.5V at 3A of load current.
The series features on-chip thermal shutdown. It also includes a
bandgap reference and a current limiting circuit.
The AZ1085C is available in 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, 5.0V and
adjustable versions. The fixed versions integrate the adjust resistors.
The adjustable version can set the output voltage with two external
resistors.
The AZ1085C series is available in standard packages of TO263,
TO263-2, TO252-2 (3), TO252-2 (4) and TO252-2 (5).

4. Stresses greater than those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under “Recommended Operating Conditions” is not implied.
Exposure to “Absolute Maximum Ratings” for extended periods may affect device reliability.
5. Absolute maximum ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the component may occur. Electrical specifications do not apply when operating the
device outside of its operating ratings. The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the maximum junction temperature, T
J(max),
the junction-to-
ambient thermal resistance, θ
JA,
and the ambient temperature, T
A.
The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperature is calculated
using: P
D(max)
= (T
J(max)
-T
A
)/θ
JA.
Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation will result in excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go into
thermal shutdown.
