STMicroelectronics LD1085V36

Description
The LD1085 is a low drop voltage regulator capable of providing up to 3 A of output current. Dropout is guaranteed at a maximum of 1.2 V at the maximum output current, decreasing at lower loads. The LD1085 is pin-to-pin compatible with the older 3-terminal adjustable regulators, but offers better performance in terms of drop and output tolerance.
Unlike PNP regulators, where a part of the output current is wasted as quiescent current, the LD1085 quiescent current flows into the load, thus increasing efficiency. Only a 10 uF minimum capacitor is needed for stability.
The device is supplied in TO-220, TO-220FP, D'PAK, and D PAK/A packages. On-chip trimming allows the regulator to reach a very tight output voltage tolerance, within ±1% at 25 °C.
