AIC1084

5A Low Dropout Positive Adjustable Regulator

n FEATURES n DESCRIPTION
l Dropout Voltage 1.3V at 5A Output Current. The AIC1084 is a low dropout three terminal
l Fast Transient Response. regulator with 5A output current capability. The
l Extremely Tight Line and Load Regulation. output voltage is adjustable with the use of a
l Current Limiting and Thermal Protection. resistor divider or fixed 3.3V. Dropout voltage is
l Adjustable Output Voltage or Fixed 1.5V, 1.8V, guaranteed to be at maximum of 1.4V with the
3.3V. maximum output current. Its low dropout voltage
l Standard 3-Pin Power Packages. and fast transient response make it ideal for low
voltage microprocessor applications. Current limit
n APPLICATIONS and thermal protection provide protection against

l Mother Board I/O Power Supplies. any overload condition that would create excessive

l Microprocessor Power Supplies. junction temperatures.

l High Current Regulator.

l Post Regulator for Switching Supply.
