Linear Technology LT1086 Datasheet
The LT1086 family of 3‑terminal low‑dropout regulators provides up to 1.5 A output current (0.5 A for the LT1086H) with a guaranteed dropout voltage as low as 1 V. Available in 3‑pin TO‑220 and 3‑pin DD surface‑mount packages, the devices feature excellent line and load regulation, ripple rejection over 75 dB, and built‑in short‑circuit and thermal shutdown protection.
The datasheet includes absolute maximum ratings, detailed electrical characteristics, typical performance curves, and package dimensions. It also offers guidance on required output capacitors for stability and outlines typical applications such as battery chargers, microprocessor supplies, and high‑efficiency linear regulation.
