DESCRIPTION
Dropout voltage is guaranteed not to exceed 1.4V at maximum output current while it decreases at lighter loads. On chip trimming allows the regulator to reach a very tight output voltage tolerance, within ±2% at 25°C and 2% over the full temperature range. Unlike voltage regulators using a PNP transistor as series pass element in which a considerable fraction of the output current is wasted as quiescent current, the LD1083 quiescent current flows almost entirely into the load, improving the efficiency. Only a 10µF minimum capacitor is required for output stability. October 2002 1/11 This is preliminary information on a new product now in development or undergoing evaluation.
