The LD1585C is a low drop voltage regulator able to provide up to 5 A of output current. Dropout is guaranteed at a maximum of 1.4 V at the maximum output current, decreasing at lower loads. The device has been improved to be utilized in low voltage applications where transient response and minimum input voltage are critical. The most important feature of the device consist in lower dropout voltage and very fast transient response. A 2.85 V output version is suitable for SCSI-2 active termination. Unlike PNP regulators, where a part of the output current is wasted as quiescent current, the LD1585C quiescent current flows into the load, so increase efficiency. Only a 10 F minimum capacitor is need for stability.
