Frequently Asked Questions
What is the output voltage and maximum output current of the LM1085IS-12/NOPB?
The LM1085IS-12/NOPB provides a fixed 12V output voltage and can supply up to 3A of continuous output current, making it suitable for high-current linear regulation applications.
What is the dropout voltage of the LM1085IS-12/NOPB and why does it matter?
The typical dropout voltage is 1.3V with a maximum of 1.5V at full load. A low dropout voltage means the input supply only needs to be about 13.5V minimum to maintain a regulated 12V output, improving efficiency in tight power budget designs.
What package does the LM1085IS-12/NOPB come in and what are alternative compatible packages?
The LM1085IS-12/NOPB is offered in the TO-263 (D2PAK) 3-pin surface-mount package (JESD-30 code R-PSSO-G3). This package provides excellent thermal dissipation directly through the PCB. The through-hole TO-220 variant is also available under a different suffix if through-hole mounting is preferred.
What are typical applications for the LM1085IS-12/NOPB?
This regulator is commonly used in industrial power supplies, networking equipment, embedded computing boards, and automotive electronics where a stable 12V rail at up to 3A is required with minimal dropout overhead.
Is the LM1085IS-12/NOPB RoHS compliant?
Yes, the LM1085IS-12/NOPB is lead-free and RoHS compliant, as indicated by the NOPB suffix and Pbfree Code 'Yes' in the product specifications.
