GS1185L

3A Low Dropout Voltage Regulator

Product Description Features

The GS1185L is a low drop voltage regulator able  Three Terminal Adjustable or Fixed Output
to provide up to 3A output current. The dropout Voltages 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V and 5V
voltage of the device is guaranteed at a maximum  Guaranteed Output Current up to 3A
1.3V at the maximum output current, decreasing at  Typical Dropout 1.3V (at 3A)
lower loads.  Output Tolerance: ±2% at 25 ºC
 Wind Operating Temperature Range:-40ºC
The GS1185L is pin compatible with older  to 125 ºC
3-terminal adjustable regulators, but has better  Ultra low current consumption(0.35mA typ.)
performances in term of drop and output tolerance.  Ultra low Adjustment Current(6uA typ.)
 Package Available: TO-220, TO-263,
TO-252, and SOT-223
 Suitable for use with MLCC capacitors
 RoHS Compliant,100%Pb & Halogen Free

Applications
 Post Regulators for Switching Supply
 Battery-Powered Circuitry
 Low Voltage Logic Supplies
 High efficiency linear regulators
 Adjustable power supply

Note 1: For GS1185L(adjustable) V ADJ =0V

Note 2: For the adjustable device the minimum load current is the minimum current required to maintain
regulation. Normally the current in the resistor divider used to set the output voltage is selected to
GS1185L

meet the minimum load current requirement.

Note 3: The specification represents the minimum input/output voltage required to maintain 1% regulation.
