Product details
Overview
AZ1085S-1.5TRE1 from BCD Semiconductor Manufacturing Limited is a fixed-output 1.5V, 3A low dropout linear regulator in TO-263-3 package with 1.3V typical dropout at full load, on-chip thermal shutdown, and ±1.5% output voltage accuracy over 0–125°C junction temperature. It delivers stable post-regulation for microprocessor core supplies and telecom power rails where input-to-output differential is constrained.
For engineers reviewing the AZ1085S-1.5TRE1 datasheet, AZ1085S-1.5TRE1 pinout, AZ1085S-1.5TRE1 application, or AZ1085S-1.5TRE1 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage at 3A, thermal resistance (θJC = 4.15°C/W), load regulation (≤15 mV), and compatibility with standard PCB thermal pads for TO-263-3 mounting.
Technical Context
The AZ1085S-1.5TRE1 implements a bandgap-referenced error amplifier driving a PNP pass transistor, enabling low dropout operation without external compensation. Its internal current limiting (4.5A) and thermal protection operate independently of external components.
As a fixed-output variant, it integrates precision feedback resistors-eliminating external dividers-and maintains regulation across 3.0–6.0V input range while delivering 1.5V ±1.5% under 10mA–3A load and 0–125°C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.5V ±1.5% (guaranteed over 10mA–3A load and 0–125°C TJ) |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.3V typical at 3A (enables operation with VIN as low as 2.8V for VOUT=1.5V) |
| Load Regulation | ≤15 mV (ΔVOUT from 0 to 3A load ensures stable core supply under dynamic CPU load) |
| Line Regulation | ≤1 mV (ΔVOUT over 3.0–10V input supports variable upstream switching supply ripple) |
| Thermal Resistance θJC | 4.15°C/W (TO-263-3 package enables >7W dissipation before thermal shutdown at 25°C case) |
| Current Limit | 4.5A (protects against short-circuit faults without external foldback circuitry) |
| Quiescent Current | 5–10 mA (low no-load consumption preserves efficiency in always-on subsystems) |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-263-3 (D²PAK), surface-mount, thermally enhanced with exposed tab connected to OUTPUT pin.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (INPUT) | Unregulated input supply connection | Accepts 3.0–6.0V DC; requires ≥10µF ceramic input capacitor for stability |
| 2 (OUTPUT) | Regulated 1.5V output and thermal pad connection | Tab is electrically tied to OUTPUT; must be soldered to large copper pour for thermal management |
| 3 (ADJ/GND) | Feedback reference node (GND for fixed version) | Internally connected to ground; no external connection required-pin must be terminated to GND plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low dropout at full load | 1.3V typical at 3A enables use with 3.3V intermediate bus for 1.5V core rails |
| Integrated thermal shutdown | Activates at ~150°C junction temperature; auto-recovers after cooldown-no latch required |
| Fixed 1.5V output | No external resistors needed; eliminates layout sensitivity and resistor tolerance drift |
| Robust line/load regulation | ≤1 mV line and ≤15 mV load variation ensures <±1% total output deviation in embedded systems |
| Pb-free & green compliant | "E1" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant lead finish; "G1" indicates halogen-free molding compound |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-output LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LD1085V15TR | STMicroelectronics part; 1.5V fixed, 3A, TO-220-3 package; θJC = 4.5°C/W; dropout 1.4V typ at 3A | Requires through-hole mounting; higher thermal resistance limits power density in compact designs | Prefer when legacy through-hole assembly is mandated or heatsink attachment is mechanical rather than solder-based |
| TPS7A8300RGRT | Texas Instruments part; 1.5V fixed, 3A, 5mm × 5mm VQFN; dropout 0.8V typ at 3A; integrated soft-start | Surface-mount QFN offers superior thermal performance (θJC = 2.5°C/W) but requires precise layout for thermal vias | Choose when ultra-low dropout (<0.9V) or programmable soft-start is required; not drop-in due to different pinout and footprint |
Compared with LD1085V15TR and TPS7A8300RGRT, the AZ1085S-1.5TRE1 provides optimal balance of proven reliability, TO-263-3 thermal interface simplicity, and cost-effective fixed-output regulation-ideal for industrial telecom and embedded computing where design reuse and thermal predictability outweigh ultra-low dropout needs.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for AZ1085S-1.5TRE1?
The absolute maximum input voltage is 12V, but the recommended operating range is 3.0V to 6.0V for reliable 1.5V output regulation. Exceeding 6.0V increases power dissipation beyond safe limits at 3A load and risks thermal shutdown even with adequate heatsinking.
Does AZ1085S-1.5TRE1 require an external capacitor on the ADJ/GND pin?
No. The ADJ/GND pin is internally connected to ground for fixed-output versions like AZ1085S-1.5TRE1. It must be electrically tied to the system ground plane via PCB copper, but no external capacitor or resistor is needed-unlike adjustable variants which use this pin for feedback.
Can AZ1085S-1.5TRE1 be paralleled for higher current capability?
Paralleling is not recommended. The AZ1085S-1.5TRE1 lacks built-in current-sharing features such as remote sensing or master-slave control. Mismatched dropout voltages between units would cause uneven current distribution and potential thermal runaway.
What is the minimum load current required for stable regulation?
No minimum load current is specified-the device regulates stably from 0 mA to 3A. Unlike older LDOs, the AZ1085S-1.5TRE1 maintains output accuracy and PSRR performance down to zero load, verified across 0–125°C junction temperature per datasheet Figure 11.
