The LT ®1086 is designed to provide up to 1.5A output
current. All internal circuitry is designed to operate down
to 1V input-to-output differential and the dropout voltage
is fully specified as a function of load current. Dropout is
guaranteed at several operating points up to a maximum
of 1.5V at maximum output current. Dropout decreases at
lower load currents. On-chip trimming adjusts the reference/ouput voltage to 1%. Current limit is also trimmed,
minimizing the stress on both the regulator and power
source circuitry under overload conditions.

The LT1086 offers excellent line and load regulation specifications and ripple rejection exceeds 75dB even at the
maximum load current of 1.5A. The LT1086 is floating
architecture with a composite NPN output stage. All of the
quiescent current and the drive current for the output
stage flows to the load increasing efficiency.
The LT1086 is available in a 3-pin TO-220 package and a
space-saving surface mountable 3-pin DD package.

* Although the device’s maximum operating voltage is limited, (18V for a
2.85V device, 20V for a 5V device, and 25V for adjustable and12V devices) the
devices are guaranteed to withstand transient input voltages up to 30V. For
input voltages greater than the maximum operating input voltage some
degradation of specifications will occur. For fixed voltage devices operating at
input/output voltage differentials greater than 15V, a minimum external load
of 5mA is required to maintain regulation.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life of
a device may be impaired.
Note 2: See Thermal Regulation specifications for changes in output
voltage due to heating effects. Line and load regulation are measured at a
constant junction temperature by low duty cycle pulse testing. Load
regulation is measured at the output lead ≈1/8" from the package.
Note 3: Line and load regulation are guaranteed up to the maximum power
dissipation of 15W (3W for the LT1086H). Power dissipation is determined

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The LT1086 family of 3-terminal regulators is easy to use
and has all the protection features that are expected in high
performance voltage regulators. They are short-circuit
protected and have safe area protection as well as thermal
shutdown to turn off the regulator should the temperature
exceed about 165°C at the sense point.
These regulators are pin compatible with older 3-terminal
adjustable devices, offer lower dropout voltage and more
precise reference tolerance. Further, the reference stability with temperature is improved over older types of
regulators. The only circuit difference between using the
LT1086 family and older regulators is that they require an
output capacitor for stability.
Stability
The circuit design used in the LT1086 family requires the
use of an output capacitor as part of the device frequency
compensation. For all operating conditions, the addition of
150µF aluminum electrolytic or a 22µF solid tantalum on
the output will ensure stability. Normally capacitors much
smaller than this can be used with the LT1086. Many
different types of capacitors with widely varying characteristics are available. These capacitors differ in capacitor
tolerance (sometimes ranging up to ±100%), equivalent
series resistance, and capacitance temperature coefficient. The 150µF or 22µF values given will ensure stability.
When using the LT1086 the adjustment terminal can be
bypassed to improve ripple rejection. When the adjustment terminal is bypassed the requirement for an output
capacitor increases. The values of 22µF tantalum or 150µF
aluminum cover all cases of bypassing the adjustment
terminal. For fixed voltage devices or adjustable devices
without an adjust pin bypass capacitor, smaller output
capacitors can be used with equally good results. The table
below shows approximately what size capacitors are needed
to ensure stability.

Normally, capacitor values on the order of 100µF are used
in the output of many regulators to ensure good transient
response with heavy load current changes. Output capacitance can be increased without limit and larger values of
output capacitor further improve stability and transient
response of the LT1086 regulators.
Another possible stability problem that can occur in monolithic IC regulators is current limit oscillations. These can
occur because in current limit, the safe area protection
exhibits a negative impedance. The safe area protection
decreases the current limit as the input-to-output voltage
increases.That is the equivalent of having a negitive resistance since increasing voltage causes current to decrease.
Negative resistance during current limit is not unique to
the LT1086 series and has been present on all power IC
regulators. The value of negative resistance is a function of
how fast the current limit is folded back as input-to-output
voltage increases. This negative resistance can react with
capacitors or inductors on the input to cause oscillation
during current limiting. Depending on the value of series
resistance, the overall circuitry may end up unstable. Since
this is a system problem, it is not necessarily easy to solve;
however, it does not cause any problems with the IC
regulator and can usually be ignored.
Protection Diodes
In normal operation the LT1086 family does not need any
protection diodes. Older adjustable regulators required
protection diodes between the adjustment pin and the
output and from the output to the input to prevent overstressing the die. The internal current paths on the LT1086
adjustment pin are limited by internal resistors. Therefore,
even with capacitors on the adjustment pin, no protection
diode is needed to ensure device safety under short-circuit
conditions.
Diodes between input and output are usually not needed.
The internal diode between the input and the output pins
of the LT1086 family can handle microsecond surge
currents of 10A to 20A. Even with large output capacitances, it is very difficult to get those values of surge
currents in normal operation. Only with high value output
capacitors such as 1000µF to 5000µF, and with the input
pin instantaneously shorted to ground, can damage occur.
A crowbar circuit at the input of the LT1086 can generate
those kinds of currents and a diode from output to input is
then recommended. Normal power supply cycling or even

the power supply may need to be cycled down to zero and
brought up again to make the output recover.
The adjustment pin can be driven on a transient basis
±25V, with respect to the output without any device
degradation. Of course as with any IC regulator, exceeding
the maximum input-to-output voltage differential causes
the internal transistors to break down and none of the
protection circuitry is functional.

Overload Recovery
Like any of the IC power regulators, the LT1086 has safe
area protection. The safe area protection decreases the
current limit as input-to-output voltage increases and
keeps the power transistor inside a safe operating region
for all values of input-to-output voltage. The LT1086
protection is designed to provide some output current at
all values of input-to-output voltage up to the device
breakdown.
When power is first turned on, as the input voltage rises,
the output follows the input, allowing the regulator to start
up into very heavy loads. During the start-up, as the input
voltage is rising, the input-to-output voltage differential
remains small, allowing the regulator to supply large
output currents. With high input voltage, a problem can
occur wherein removal of an output short will not allow the
output voltage to recover. Older regulators such as the
7800 series also exhibited this phenomenon, so it is not
unique to the LT1086.
The problem occurs with a heavy output load when the
input voltage is high and the output voltage is low, such as
immediately after a removal of a short. The load line for
such a load may intersect the output current curve at two
points. If this happens there are two stable output operating points for the regulator. With this double intersection
For the LT1086 the typical curves for ripple rejection
reflect values for a bypassed adjust pin. This curve will be
true for all values of output voltage. For proper bypassing
and ripple rejection approaching the values shown, the
impedance of the adjust pin capacitor at the ripple frequency should equal the value of R1, (normally 100Ω to
120Ω). The size of the required adjust pin capacitor is a
function of the input ripple frequency. At 120Hz the adjust
pin capacitor should be 13µF if R1 = 100Ω; at 10kHz only
0.16µF is needed.
For circuits without an adjust pin bypass capacitor the
ripple rejection will be a function of output voltage. The
output ripple will increase directly as a ratio of the output
voltage to the reference voltage (VOUT/VREF). For example, with the output voltage equal to 5V and no adjust
pin capacitor, the output ripple will be higher by the ratio
of 5V/1.25V or four times larger. Ripple rejection will be
degraded by 12dB from the value shown on the LT1086
curve. Typical curves are provided for the 5V and 12V
devices since the adjust pin is not available.
Output Voltage
The LT1086 develops a 1.25V reference voltage between
the output and the adjust terminal (see Figure 1). By
placing resistor R1 between these two terminals, a constant current is caused to flow through R1 and down
through R2 to set the overall output voltage. Normally this
current is chosen to be the specified minimum load
current of 10mA. Because IADJ is very small and constant
when compared with the current through R1, it represents a small error and can usually be ignored. For fixed
voltage devices R1 and R2 are included in the device.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Load Regulation
Thermal Considerations
Because the LT1086 is a 3-terminal device, it is not
possible to provide true remote load sensing. Load regulation will be limited by the resistance of the wire connecting the regulator to the load. The data sheet specification
for load regulation is measured at the bottom of the
package. Negative side sensing is a true Kelvin connection, with the bottom of the output divider returned to the
negative side of the load. Although it may not be immediately obvious, best load regulation is obtained when the
top of the resistor divider R1 is connected directly to the
case not to the load, as illustrated in Figure 2. If R1 were
connected to the load, the effective resistance between the
regulator and the load would be:
The LT1086 series of regulators have internal power and
thermal limiting circuitry designed to protect the device
under overload conditions. For continuous normal load
conditions however, maximum junction temperature ratings must not be exceeded. It is important to give careful
consideration to all sources of thermal resistance from
junction to ambient. This includes junction-to-case, caseto-heat sink interface and heat sink resistance itself. New
thermal resistance specifications have been developed to
more accurately reflect device temperature and ensure
safe operating temperatures. The data section for these
new regulators provides a separate thermal resistance and
maximum junction temperature for both the Control Section and the Power Transistor. Previous regulators, with a
single junction-to-case thermal resistance specification,
used an average of the two values provided here and
therefore could allow excessive junction temperatures
under certain conditions of ambient temperature and heat
sink resistance. To avoid this possibility, calculations
should be made for both sections to ensure that both
thermal limits are met.

Figure 2. Connections for Best Load Regulation
Connected as shown, RP is not multiplied by the divider
ratio. RP is about 0.004Ω per foot using 16-gauge wire.
This translates to 4mV/ft at 1A load current, so it is
important to keep the positive lead between regulator and
load as short as possible and use large wire or PC board
traces.
Note that the resistance of the package leads for the H
package ≈ 0.06Ω/inch. While it is usually not possible to
connect the load directly to the package, it is possible to
connect larger wire or PC traces close to the case to avoid
voltage drops that will degrade load regulation.
For fixed voltage devices the top of R1 is internally Kelvin
connected and the ground pin can be used for negative
side sensing.

For example, using a LT1086CK (TO-3, Commercial) and
assuming:
VIN(max continuous) = 9V, VOUT = 5V, IOUT = 1A,
TA = 75°C, θHEAT SINK = 3°C/W,
θCASE-TO-HEAT SINK = 0.2°C/ W for T package with
thermal compound.
Power dissipation under these conditions is equal to:
PD = (VIN – VOUT)(IOUT) = 4W
Junction temperature will be equal to:
TJ = TA + PD (θHEAT SINK + θ CASE-TO-HEAT SINK + θJC)
For the Control Section:
TJ = 75°C + 4W(3°C/W + 0.2°C/ W + 1.5°C/ W) = 94.6°C
95°C < 125°C = TJMAX (Control Section
Commercial Range)
For the Power Transistor:
TJ = 75°C + 4W(3°C/ W + 0.2°C/ W + 4°C/ W) = 103.8°C
103.8°C < 150°C = TJMAX (Power Transistor

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
In both cases the junction temperature is below the
maximum rating for the respective sections, ensuring
reliable operation.
Junction-to-case thermal resistance for the K and T packages is specified from the IC junction to the bottom of the
case directly below the die. This is the lowest resistance
path for heat flow. While this is also the lowest resistance
path for the H package, most available heat sinks for this
package are of the clip-on type that attach to the cap of the
package. The data sheet specification for thermal resistance for the H package is therefore written to reflect this.
In all cases proper mounting is required to ensure the best
possible heat flow from the die to the heat sink. Thermal
compound at the case-to-heat sink interface is strongly
recommended. In the case of the H package, mounting the
device so that heat can flow out the bottom of the case will
significantly lower thermal resistance (≈ a factor of 2). If
the case of the device must be electrically isolated, a
thermally conductive spacer can be used as long as its
added contribution to thermal resistance is considered.
Note that the case of all devices in this series is electrically
connected to the output.
