The LM1086CS-5.0 is a 5V low dropout voltage regulator manufactured by Texas Instruments. It is a versatile integrated circuit (IC) component commonly used in various electronic devices and systems as a regulated power supply. Here is an overview of its key features:
1. Low dropout voltage: The LM1086CS-5.0 has a low dropout voltage, typically around 1.15V at a 1.5A load current. This allows it to regulate a stable 5V output even when the input voltage is slightly above 5V.
2. High current capacity: With a maximum output current of 1.5A, this IC can provide a reliable power source for a wide range of electronic components and peripherals. Its high current capacity makes it suitable for demanding applications that require stable power delivery.
3. Wide input voltage range: The LM1086CS-5.0 has a wide input voltage range, from 6.5V to 20V. This flexibility enables it to work with different power sources, including batteries, wall adapters, and various external power supplies.
4. Low quiescent current: The quiescent current, or the current consumed by the LM1086CS-5.0 when no load is connected, is exceptionally low. It typically ranges from 2.7mA to 8mA, depending on the input-output voltage differential. This helps in saving power and maximizing overall system efficiency
