The UZ1085G-ADJ is an adjustable output, low dropout linear regulator manufactured by UTC (Unisonic Technologies Co., Ltd.). Similar to other adjustable regulators, it provides flexibility in setting the output voltage through the use of external resistors. The UZ1085G-ADJ offers a higher current capability compared to its UZ1084 counterparts, making it suitable for applications with more demanding power requirements. The 'G' likely signifies a different package or improved performance characteristic.
Applications:
- Adjustable power supplies for various electronic devices.
- Post-regulation in switching power supplies.
- High-current linear regulation.
- Battery charging circuits.
- Powering FPGAs and microprocessors.
Features:
- Adjustable Output Voltage: Output voltage can be set using external resistors.
- Low Dropout Voltage: Maintains regulation with minimal input-output voltage difference.
- High Output Current Capability: Provides sufficient current for demanding loads (typically up to 3A or more).
- Over-Temperature Protection: Prevents thermal damage in high-load or high-temperature scenarios.
- Current Limiting: Protects the regulator and connected load from excessive current draw.
Benefits:
- Flexibility: Adjustable output voltage allows for a wide range of applications.
- Stable Power: Provides a consistent and reliable output voltage.
- Efficient Regulation: Low dropout voltage minimizes power loss and improves efficiency.
- Robust Protection: Over-temperature and current limiting features enhance reliability.
- Simplified Design: Requires only a few external components for operation.
The UZ1085G-ADJ is often used in applications requiring a configurable voltage source with significant current drive. The adjustment is achieved by using an external resistor divider. The dropout voltage will typically be around 1.3V at its rated max current. It is commonly packaged in TO-220 or TO-263 packages for efficient heat dissipation. Like other UTC components, it's RoHS compliant and lead-free.
