FEATURES
The LND1083/LND1084/LND1085 series of
positive adjustable regulators are designed to
provide 7.5A, 5A and 3A with higher efficiency
than currently available devices. All internal
circuitry is designed to operate down to 1V
input to output differential and the dropout
voltage is fully specified as a function of load
current. Dropout is guaranteed at a maximum
of 1.5V at maximum output current. On-chip
trimming adjusts the reference voltage to
1%.Current limit is also trimmed, minimizing
the stress on both the regulator and power
source circuitry under overload conditions.
The LND1083/LND1084/LND1085 devices are
pin compatible with older 3 terminal regulators.
A 10F output capacitor is required on these
new devices: however, this is usually included
in most regulator designs.

LND1083/84/85
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The LND1083 family of three-terminal
adjustable regulators is easy to use and has all
the protection features that are expected in
high performance voltage regulators.
Stability
The circuit design used in the LND1083 series
requires the use of an output capacitor as part
of the device frequency compensation. The
addition of 150
F aluminum electrolytic or a
22
F solid tantalum on the output will ensure
stability for all operating conditions.
Output Voltage
The LND1083 develops a 1.25V reference
voltage between the Output pin and the Adjust
pin (Figure 1). Placing a resistor between
these two terminals causes a constant current
to flow through R1 and down though R2 to set
the output voltage. In general R1 is chosen so
that this current is the specified minimum load
current of 10mA. The current out of the Adjust
pin is small as compared to the current from
R1and can be ignored.
Microsecond surge currents of 50A to 100A
can be handled by the internal diode
between the Output pin and the Input pin of
the device. In normal operations it is difficult
to get those values of surge currents even
with the use of large output capacitance.
Only with high value output capacitors, such
as 1000 to 5000F and with the Input pin
instantaneously shorted to ground, can
damage occur. A diode from output to input
is recommended (Figure 2).
Protection Diodes
In normal operation LND1083 family does not
need any protection diodes between the
adjustment pin and the output and from the
out to the input to prevent die overstresses.
Internal resistors are limiting the internal
current paths on the ADJ pin. Therefore
even with bypass capacitors on the adjust pin
no protection diode is needed to ensure
device safety under short-circuit conditions.
Thermal Considerations
The LND1083 series have internal power and
thermal-limiting circuitry designed to protect
the device under overload conditions.
However, maximum junction temperature
ratings should not be exceeded under
continuous normal load conditions. Careful
consideration must be given to all sources of
thermal resistance from junction to ambient,
including junction-to-case, case to-heat sink
interface and heat sink resistance itself.
