DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 1729A is a 2.1A low dropout adjust-
able linear regulator featuring the
designed with multiple features and operates over a wide
1.4V to 40V input supply range. The LT3086 requires only
one resistor to set the output voltage from 0.4V to 32V
and it is stable with ceramic output capacitors requiring
a minimum of 10μF.
The key features of the LT3086 include programmable
cable drop compensation, master/slave configuration for
paralleling of multiple devices for higher load current and
heat spreading, output current and temperature monitor-
ing, and programmable power good flag.
