What can the lt3080 linear regulator be used for?
The LT®3080 is a 1.1A low dropout linear regulator that can be paralleled to increase output current or spread heat in surface mounted boards. Architected as a preci- sion current source and voltage follower allows this new regulator to be used in many applications requiring high current, adjustability to zero, and no heat sink.
What is the output voltage of the lt3080?
For proper regulation, the LT3080 has a control pin; the voltage on this pin must be 1.2V to 1.35V higher than the output voltage.The output voltage is jumper selectable and can be set to 1.8V, a value between 0V and 5V (using trimpot R2) or a user-defined value. A key feature of the LT3080 is its wide output voltage range.
What kind of MSOP does a lt3080 regulator use?
The LT3080 regulator is offered in the 8-lead MSOP (with an exposed pad for better thermal characteristics), a 3mmAPPLICATIONS × 3mm DFN, 5-lead DD-Pak, TO-220 and a simple-to-use 3-lead SOT-223 version. n High Current All Surface Mount Supply n High Efficiency Linear Regulator
What can be done with a low dropout transistor?
Architected as a precision current source and voltage follower allows this new regulator to be used in many applications requiring high current, adjustability to zero, and no heat sink. Also the device brings out the collector of the pass transistor to allow low dropout operation —down to 350 millivolts— when used with multiple supplies.

What is the voltage range of the lt3080?
A key feature of the LT3080 is the capability to supply a wide output voltage range. By using a reference current through a single resistor, the output voltage is programmed to any level between zero and 36 V.

What can a low dropout regulator be used for?
Architected as a precision current source and voltage follower allows this new regulator to be used in many applications requiring high current, adjustability to zero, and no heat sink. Also the device brings out the collector of the pass transistor to allow low dropout operation – down to 300 milivolts – when used with multiple supplies.
