GENERAL DESCRIPTION 
The L1084 is a positive and low dropout three-terminal voltage regulator with 5A output current capability. This device is designed for use in low voltage applications that offers lower dropout voltage and faster transient response.

FEATURES
Very easy to use, it requires only two external resistors toset the output voltage
Low dropout voltage: 1.2V typical at up to 5A
Low ground current
Fast transient response
Current & thermal limiting
Line regulation: 0.5% typical
Load regulation: 0.5% typical
TO-220, TO-263 and TO-252 packages

APPLICATIONS
High current microprocessor supplies
Low voltage logic supply
Powering VGA & sound card
Portable instrumentation
Constant current regulator
Post regulator for switching power supply
