This quick start guide describes the setup and performance evaluation of demonstration circuit DC995A, featuring the LT3080 adjustable linear regulator.
Demonstration circuit DC995A is an adjustable 1.1A linear regulator featuring the LT3080. It is architected as a precision current source and voltage follower, allowing the regulator to be used in applications requiring high current, adjustability to zero output, and no heat sink. The device allows the output voltage to be programmed to any level between zero and 36V using a reference current through a single resistor. The DC995A has a reduced input voltage rating of 25V due to input capacitor voltage rating and is capable of delivering up to 1.1A output current.
