Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is

intended to be functional, but specific performance is not guaranteed. For guaranteed specifications and the test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics.

Note 2: Power dissipation is kept in a safe range by current limiting circuitry. Refer to Overload Recovery in Application Notes. The value

is specifically dependent on PCB trace area, trace material, and the number of thermal vias. For improved thermal resistance and power dissipation for the LLP

package, refer to Application Note AN-1187.

Note 4: For testing purposes, ESD was applied using human body model, 1.5k

Ω in series with 100pF.

Note 5: Typical Values represent the most likely parametric norm.

Note 6: All limits are guaranteed by testing or statistical analysis.

dissipation for the LM1086 is only achievable over a limited range of input-to-output voltage.

Note 8: Load and line regulation are measured at constant junction temperature, and are guaranteed up to the maximum power dissipation of 15W. Power

dissipation is determined by the input/output differential and the output current. Guaranteed maximum power dissipation will not be available over the full input/output

range.

Note 9: Dropout voltage is specified over the full output current range of the device.

Note 10: The minimum output current required to maintain regulation.
