Brief Description

There are plenty of voltage Regulator ICs such asLM317and78XXseries. LT1085 is a Positive Voltage Regulator with low voltage drop at high current value. The maximum voltage drop by LT1085 regulator at 3A of load current is 1.3V. The pinout of LT1085 is similar toLM1084. The LT1085 is adjustable, so you can adjust the regulated output voltage just by using two resistors. LT1085 voltage regulator comes with overcurrent, reverse polarity, over-temperature, and protection positive and negative transient voltage spikes features.

How to UseLT1085 LDORegulator?

Using an LT1085 voltage regulator is very easy as it requires a minimum number of external components. LT1085 has the same pin configuration as AZ1084. As you can see in the below diagram, this LT1085 is in adjustable mode and you can vary the regulated output voltage by changing the value of the resistor connected to the ADJ pin.
