Description

Product Overview

The LM1086CS-3.3 is a 1.5A low-dropout positive voltage regulator from Texas Instruments, featuring a fixed 3.3V output in a TO-263 (DDPAK-3) surface-mount package. Part of the National Semiconductor heritage SIMPLE SWITCHER family, this device provides excellent line and load regulation with a dropout voltage of typically 1.3V at full load current. The TO-263 package with its exposed thermal pad delivers superior heat dissipation, making it ideal for high-power density applications in industrial control, automotive systems, and consumer electronics.

The LM1086CS-3.3 is a high-performance 1.5A low-dropout positive voltage regulator manufactured by Texas Instruments. As a member of the SIMPLE SWITCHER family, this device is designed for easy implementation in a wide variety of power management applications.

The LM1086 uses a single NPN pass transistor architecture instead of the Darlington pair found in the classic LM317, resulting in significantly lower dropout voltage — typically 1.3V at full 1.5A load. This makes it much more efficient in low-input-to-output differential applications.

The fixed 3.3V output version eliminates the need for external resistor dividers, reducing component count and improving accuracy. The device incorporates a precision zener-trimmed bandgap reference, internal current limiting with foldback, and thermal shutdown protection for robust operation under fault conditions.

Supplied in a TO-263 (DDPAK-3) surface-mount package with an exposed die attach pad, the LM1086CS-3.3 provides excellent thermal performance. The thermal pad can be soldered directly to a copper area on the PCB, enabling efficient heat dissipation without the need for bulky heat sinks.

The LM1086 is a series-pass linear regulator that operates on the following principles:

1. Reference Generation: A precision bandgap reference circuit generates a stable voltage reference (trimmed to tight tolerance using zener technology) that remains consistent across temperature and supply voltage variations.

2. Error Amplification: The error amplifier compares a sampled fraction of the output voltage (via internal resistor divider for fixed versions) against the bandgap reference. The amplified error signal drives the base of the pass transistor.

3. Pass Element: A single NPN BJT serves as the series pass element. This single-transistor design (rather than a Darlington pair) reduces the dropout voltage to approximately 1.3V, representing a significant improvement over the LM317.

4. Current Limiting: A sense resistor in series with the pass transistor monitors the output current. When current exceeds the threshold, the current limit circuit reduces base drive, protecting both the regulator and load. Foldback current limiting reduces short-circuit power dissipation.

5. Thermal Protection: When the junction temperature exceeds approximately 160°C, the thermal shutdown circuit disables the pass transistor. The regulator automatically restarts once the temperature drops, providing reliable self-protection.

Pin Name Type Description
1 VIN Input Input voltage supply pin (4.5V to 29V). Bypass with a 10µF capacitor to GND for input stability.
2 GND Ground Ground reference pin. For fixed output versions, this pin connects directly to the system ground plane.
3 VOUT Output Regulated 3.3V output. Requires an output capacitor (typically 10µF tantalum or 50µF low-ESR aluminum electrolytic) for stability.
Tab Tab Thermal/GND Exposed thermal pad electrically connected to GND (Pin 2). Solder to PCB ground plane with multiple vias for maximum heat dissipation.
  • Post-regulation for 5V and 12V switching power supplies
