AZ1085T-ADJE1

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Overview

The AZ1085T-ADJE1 is a low dropout positive linear regulator manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It belongs to the AZ1085 series and provides an adjustable output voltage ranging from 1.25V to approximately 32V, depending on external resistor selection. The device supports a maximum load current of 3A with a typical dropout voltage of 1.3V at full load. It features internal current limiting and thermal shutdown protection for robust operation. The component is housed in a TO-220-3 package suitable for through-hole mounting.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Procurement Notes

Verify the exact manufacturer part number against official Diodes Incorporated documentation, as availability may vary. Confirm package type and pinout compatibility with existing designs. Check for end-of-life notifications or alternative recommendations from the manufacturer before finalizing procurement plans.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed-output LDO is insufficient and an adjustable voltage rail is required. Ensure the input voltage exceeds the desired output by at least the dropout voltage plus headroom. Verify that the thermal management solution can handle the power dissipation at the maximum expected load current.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Part Context

This part is part of the AZ1085 family of 3A low dropout regulators. It shares functional similarities with other models in the series but differs in package style and output configuration. The TO-220-3 package distinguishes it from surface-mount variants like the D2PAK or SOT-223 versions.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other AZ1085 variants with compatible packages or electrical characteristics. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal requirements when substituting with similar 3A adjustable LDOs from other manufacturers.
