National Semiconductor LM1086 Low Dropout Voltage Regulator Datasheet

The LM1086 is a three terminal low dropout regulator with 1.5A output current capability. The output voltage is adjustable with the use of a resistor divider. Dropout is guaranteed at a maximum of 500 mV at maximum output current. It's low dropout voltage and fast transient response make it ideal for low voltage microprocessor applications. Internal current and thermal limiting provides protection against any overload condition that would create excessive junction temperature.
