Low Dropout Regulator
General Description
The
EC1086
is a series of low dropout positive voltage
regulators with a maximum dropout of 1.5V at 1.5A of
load current.
The
EC1086
is available in 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3V, 3.3V,
and 5.0V versions. The fixed versions integrate the
adjust resistors. It is also available in an adjustable ver-
sion, which can set the output voltage with only two
external resistors.
The series features on-chip thermal shutdown. It also
includes a bandgap reference and a current limiting cir-
cuit.
The
EC1086
series is available in standard packages of
TO-263-3L, TO-220, SOT-223 and TO-252.

Note 1: 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.
