Product Overview: LT3086MPR#PBF

The LT3086MPR#PBF is a robust, high-performance low dropout linear regulator (LDO) from Analog Devices Inc., designed to provide precision voltage regulation and high reliability in a wide range of applications. This regulator is part of the LT3086 series, which are known for their extended safe operating area (SOA) and their ability to deliver up to 2.1A of continuous output current with a dropout voltage of typically 300mV at full load.

Key Features

• Adjustable Output: The LT3086MPR#PBF offers an adjustable output from 0.4V to 32V, which can be set with a single resistor. This flexibility makes it suitable for a variety of applications, including industrial, automotive, and communication systems.
• High Output Current: This LDO can deliver up to 2.1A of continuous output current, making it ideal for powering core voltages, post-regulation for switching supplies, or even battery-powered devices.
• Low Dropout Voltage: With a typical dropout voltage of 300mV at full load, the LT3086MPR#PBF ensures efficient operation even when the input voltage is close to the output voltage, which is critical for battery-powered and low-voltage applications.
• Thermal Protection: The device includes internal thermal shutdown to protect the regulator and the load under high-temperature conditions.
• Stability: The LT3086MPR#PBF is stable with a minimum of 10μF of output capacitance and is compatible with ceramic capacitors, which are small, reliable, and have low equivalent series resistance (ESR).
• Wide Temperature Range: This component is characterized for operation from −55°C to +150°C, which suits it for harsh environments and demanding applications.
