The STMicroelectronics low drop voltage regulator, it is capable of providing up to 1.5 A of output current. Dropout is guaranteed at a maximum of 1.2 V at the maximum output current, decreasing at lower loads. The LD1086 is pin-to-pin compatible with older 3-terminal adjustable regulators, but has better performance in terms of drop and output tolerance. Unlike PNP regulators, where a part of the output current is wasted as quiescent current, the LD1086 quiescent current flows into the load, increasing efficiency. Internal power and thermal limit
Output current guaranteed up to 1.5 A
Pinout compatibility with standard adjustable voltage regulators
