Diodes Incorporated (Nasdaq: DIOD), a leading global manufacturer and supplier of high-quality application specific standard products within the broad discrete, logic and analog semiconductor markets, today introduced the AZ2085 adjustable LDO. Featuring a minimum load current of just 1mA, a maximum of 3A and an adjust pin current of only 6μA, this LDO regulator handles a far wider range of applications than alternative DC linear voltage regulators.
The device's dropout voltage is typically 1.2V at the full 3A load current, supporting point of load duties with input voltages from 15V down to 2.5V. Applications which benefit from the device's improved minimum load currents and lower dropout voltage include motherboards, telecom equipment and STB power supplies.
Output voltage is set using a pair of external resistors, with the AZ2085's ultra- low adjust pin current enabling designers to employ larger resistors without adversely affecting tolerance. Design flexibility is further enhanced by the device's compatibility with low ESR ceramic capacitors.
With its maximum specification in load and line regulation of 0.3% and 0.2%, respectively, this TO252 packaged LDO offers designers a high degree of stability under extreme conditions of change in either input voltage or load. Integral current limiting and thermal protection circuits guard against excessive junction temperatures. For further information, visit the Company's website at www.diodes.com.
