The AP1084DL-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a robust low dropout (LDO) linear regulator designed to deliver a continuous output current of up to 5A with a dropout voltage of just 1.3V at maximum output. This component is an ideal choice for high-current applications where voltage regulation with minimal loss is crucial.

Key Features

• High Output Current: Capable of delivering up to 5A of continuous output current, making it suitable for powering a wide range of devices.
• Low Dropout Voltage: With a typical dropout voltage of 1.3V at full load, the AP1084DL-13 ensures efficient operation even in conditions where the input voltage is close to the output voltage.
• Adjustable Output: The output voltage can be adjusted from 1.25V to 18V with the use of external resistors, providing flexibility for various application requirements.
• Stable with Low ESR Output Capacitor: The device remains stable with low equivalent series resistance (ESR) ceramic capacitors, which reduces the size and cost of the capacitors needed.
• Over-Temperature and Over-Current Protection: Built-in thermal shutdown and current limiting features protect the device and the load from damage due to overheating and overcurrent conditions.
• Wide Operating Temperature Range: With an operational temperature range of -40°C to +125°C, the AP1084DL-13 is suitable for industrial applications.
