Description

The KD1084 is a LOW DROP Voltage Regulatorable to provide up to 5A of Output Current. Dropout is guaranteed at a maximum of 1.5V at the maximum output current, decreasing at lower loads. The KD1084 is pin to pin compatible with he older 3-terminal adjustable regulators but has better performances in term of drop and output tolerance. A 2.85V output version is suitable for SCSI-2 active termination. Unlike PNP regulators, where a part of the output current is wasted as quiescent current, the KD1084 quiescent current flows into the load, so increase efficiency. Only a 10µF minimum capacitor is need for stability.
