Product details
Overview
AZ1084CD-ADJTRG1 from Diodes Incorporated is an adjustable 5A low-dropout linear regulator with 1.35V typical dropout at full load, integrated thermal limiting and current limiting (6.5A), and ±1% output voltage accuracy over 0°C to +125°C junction temperature range. It supports post-regulation of switching supplies and microprocessor core power in desktop PCs and embedded systems using ceramic output capacitors.
For engineers reviewing the AZ1084CD-ADJTRG1 datasheet, AZ1084CD-ADJTRG1 pinout, AZ1084CD-ADJTRG1 application, or AZ1084CD-ADJTRG1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 5A, adjust-pin current stability (55–120 µA), load regulation (0.1% typ), compatibility with low-ESR ceramics, and TO252-2 (3)/(4)/(5) package thermal performance (θJC = 7.36°C/W).
Technical Context
The AZ1084CD-ADJTRG1 implements a trimmed bandgap reference (1.225–1.270 V) with external resistor feedback for programmable output voltage (VOUT = VREF × (1 + R2/R1) + IADJ × R2). Its internal current-limiting circuit activates at 5.5–6.5A and works in tandem with on-chip thermal shutdown to protect against overload and ambient-induced junction overheating.
It operates across 2.85–12V input range with stable regulation under 0–5A load, achieving 0.015% line regulation and 0.1% load regulation (typ) in adjustable configuration. The device maintains RMS output noise below 0.003% of VOUT (10Hz–10kHz) and delivers 72dB PSRR at 120Hz with 25µF tantalum output capacitance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 5A continuous - supports high-current microprocessor core rails and battery charger post-regulation stages. |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.35V typical at 5A - enables operation with minimal VIN–VOUT headroom, critical for 3.3V/2.5V systems powered from 5V rails. |
| Reference Voltage | 1.225–1.270V - sets precision output via external resistors; tolerance directly impacts final VOUT accuracy. |
| Adjust Pin Current | 55–120 µA - determines R1/R2 sizing impact on load regulation and thermal drift in adjustable configurations. |
| Thermal Resistance θJC | 7.36°C/W - enables efficient heat transfer to PCB copper pour or heatsink, supporting >4W dissipation before thermal shutdown. |
| PSRR @ 120Hz | 72dB - suppresses ripple from upstream switching converters, reducing need for additional filtering stages. |
| Operating Junction Temp | 0°C to +125°C - qualified for industrial and embedded applications without derating up to maximum ambient. |
Pinout & Package
AZ1084CD-ADJTRG1 is packaged in TO252-2 (3), TO252-2 (4), TO252-2 (5), or TO252 (Type CJ) surface-mount packages. All variants feature identical pin functional mapping and share a common thermal pad (Pin 2) for enhanced power dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (INPUT) | Input voltage supply connection | Accepts 2.85–12V DC; requires local 10µF ceramic bypass capacitor to minimize high-frequency impedance. |
| Pin 2 (OUTPUT) | Regulated output voltage node | Delivers up to 5A; connects to 22µF ceramic output capacitor and load; serves as thermal conduction path to PCB. |
| Pin 3 (ADJ/GND) | Feedback reference and ground return | In adjustable mode: connects R1–R2 divider to set VOUT; in fixed versions: tied internally to GND; must be low-impedance ground path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low ESR ceramic capacitor support | Stable with ≥10µF X5R/X7R ceramics - eliminates need for bulk tantalum/electrolytic, reducing board area and improving reliability. |
| Integrated thermal protection | Automatic shutdown at TJ ≥ +150°C - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Current limiting | 6.5A foldback limit - protects downstream circuitry and upstream source during short-circuit or startup surge events. |
| Lead-free & RoHS 3 compliant | Fully compliant per EU Directive 2015/863/EU - meets global environmental requirements for industrial and commercial end equipment. |
| High PSRR at low frequency | 72dB @ 120Hz - effectively attenuates switching converter ripple without requiring large LC filters or ferrite beads. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Adjustable rail generator enabling field-programmable VCCIO (1.2–3.3V) per board revision or customer requirement. Use Value: External resistor programming allows single BOM to support multiple I/O standards (LVCMOS, SSTL, HSTL) without redesign. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar adjustable 5A LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1963AEST-ADJ#TRPBF | Lower dropout (340mV @ 1.5A), but rated only to 1.5A; higher cost; requires larger output cap (≥47µF) for stability. | Not suitable for 5A loads; limited to low-power FPGA I/O or sensor signal chains. | Select only when <2A current and ultra-low dropout (<0.5V) are mandatory; verify thermal design for 1.5A max. |
| TPS75733KTTT | Fixed 3.3V output only; 5A rating; 1.15V dropout @ 5A; no adjust pin; higher quiescent current (12mA vs. 5–10mA). | Cannot replace adjustable function; lacks resistor-based VOUT tuning needed for multi-voltage systems. | Choose only for dedicated 3.3V rails where flexibility is unnecessary and lowest possible dropout is prioritized. |
Compared with LT1963AEST-ADJ#TRPBF and TPS75733KTTT, AZ1084CD-ADJTRG1 uniquely balances 5A capability, adjustability, 1.35V dropout, and TO252 thermal performance-making it optimal for industrial and computing applications requiring both high current and voltage flexibility.

FAQ
What is the minimum load current required for stable operation of AZ1084CD-ADJTRG1?
The AZ1084CD-ADJTRG1 requires a minimum load current of 3 mA at TA = +25°C, increasing to 10 mA at TJ = +125°C. This ensures proper biasing of internal circuitry and prevents output voltage overshoot during light-load transients. External pull-down resistors may be added if the application load drops below this threshold.
Can AZ1084CD-ADJTRG1 be used with ceramic output capacitors smaller than 22µF?
Yes - the device is stable with ≥10µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitors, as confirmed in the datasheet's "Compatible with Low ESR Ceramic Capacitor" feature. Using 10µF reduces board space and improves reliability versus tantalum, but 22µF is recommended for optimal transient response and PSRR above 10kHz.
How does the adjust pin current (IADJ) affect output voltage accuracy?
IADJ (55–120 µA) flows through R2 in the feedback divider, contributing an error term (IADJ × R2) to VOUT. For example, with R2 = 150Ω, this adds 8–18 mV offset. To minimize impact, keep R1 + R2 ≤ 20kΩ while maintaining ≥3 mA divider current - balancing accuracy, power loss, and noise sensitivity.
Is AZ1084CD-ADJTRG1 qualified for automotive applications?
No - AZ1084CD-ADJTRG1 is specified for 0°C to +125°C operating junction temperature and is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Diodes offers automotive-grade variants (e.g., AZ1084CQ series) with PPAP documentation, IATF 16949 manufacturing, and extended qualification testing; contact Diodes directly for those part numbers.
