Product details
Overview
AZ1085S-ADJTRG1 from BCD Semiconductor Manufacturing Limited is an adjustable 3A low-dropout linear regulator in TO-263-3 package, featuring 1.3V typical dropout at full load, on-chip thermal shutdown, and ±1.2% output voltage accuracy over temperature and load. It delivers stable post-regulation for switching supplies and microprocessor core rails where precision and current capability are critical.
For engineers reviewing the AZ1085S-ADJTRG1 datasheet, AZ1085S-ADJTRG1 pinout, AZ1085S-ADJTRG1 application, or AZ1085S-ADJTRG1 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed thermal and regulation specs, and real-world use cases in telecom power and embedded motherboard designs.
Technical Context
The AZ1085S-ADJTRG1 implements a bandgap-referenced error amplifier driving a PNP pass transistor with integrated current limiting and thermal protection circuitry. Its adjustable output is set via two external resistors connected to the ADJ pin, enabling programmable VOUT from 1.25V to 10V.
It operates across 0°C to 125°C junction temperature with 0.1% typical load regulation and 0.015% line regulation, supporting high-stability applications such as DVD player logic supplies and set-top box module rails where ripple rejection (72dB at 120Hz) and long-term stability (0.5% over 1000 hours) are essential.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 3A continuous - supports high-current digital loads like microprocessor cores without derating at 25°C ambient. |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.3V typical at 3A - enables operation with minimal input–output differential, e.g., 5V input → 3.3V output with 1.7V headroom. |
| Reference Voltage | 1.225V to 1.275V - defines output accuracy baseline; VOUT = VREF × (1 + R2/R1) + IADJ × R2. |
| Line Regulation | 0.015% typical - ensures <±0.5mV output shift per 1V input change, critical for noise-sensitive analog subsystems. |
| Thermal Protection | On-chip shutdown at TJ ≥150°C - prevents permanent damage during overload or poor heatsinking conditions. |
| Adjust Pin Current | 55–120µA - low bias current minimizes resistor-divider power loss and improves output accuracy. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-263-3 (D²PAK), surface-mount, thermally enhanced with exposed tab tied to OUTPUT pin. Thermal resistance θJC = 4.15°C/W enables efficient heat transfer to PCB copper.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (INPUT) | Input voltage supply connection | Accepts 2.85V–12V DC; must be decoupled with ≥10µF ceramic capacitor near pin to suppress transients. |
| 2 (OUTPUT) | Regulated output voltage node | Connects to load and output capacitor (≥22µF); tab is electrically tied to this pin for thermal conduction. |
| 3 (ADJ/GND) | Feedback reference and ground reference | For adjustable configuration: connects to resistor divider; internal reference is referenced to this pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low dropout operation | 1.3V typical at 3A - allows use in battery-powered or multi-rail systems where input margin is constrained. |
| Integrated protection | Current limit (4.5A) + thermal shutdown - eliminates need for external foldback or thermal sensors in compact designs. |
| Precision reference | 1.225–1.275V bandgap reference - enables ±1.2% output tolerance over temperature and line/load variations. |
| Stable with ceramic output caps | Compatible with ≥22µF X5R/X7R MLCC - reduces board space vs. electrolytic solutions and improves transient response. |
Applications
| Microprocessor Core Supply | Post-Regulation for Switching Supplies |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar adjustable LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1963AEST-3.3#TRPBF | Fixed 3.3V output; 1.5A max; 340mV dropout; higher PSRR (77dB) | Limited to fixed-voltage use; unsuitable for adjustable designs or >1.5A loads | Select only if fixed 3.3V and lower dropout are required, and current demand ≤1.5A. |
| TPS75233QPWPRQ1 | Automotive-grade (AEC-Q100); 3A; 220mV dropout; integrated power-good flag | Requires automotive qualification; adds PG signal but lacks green packaging option | Choose when AEC-Q100 compliance and system-level fault reporting are mandatory. |
Compared with LT1963AEST-3.3#TRPBF and TPS75233QPWPRQ1, the AZ1085S-ADJTRG1 offers adjustable output, RoHS/green compliance, and cost-effective 3A capability in TO-263-3 - making it optimal for non-automotive industrial and consumer power rails where flexibility and thermal robustness are prioritized over ultra-low dropout or automotive certification.

FAQ
What is the minimum input–output voltage difference required for regulation?
The AZ1085S-ADJTRG1 maintains regulation with a minimum dropout of 1.3V at 3A (typical) and up to 1.5V (max). Below this differential, output voltage collapses proportionally. For reliable 3.3V output, VIN must remain ≥4.6V under full load.
Can this part be used with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes - the AZ1085S-ADJTRG1 is stable with ≥22µF X5R or X7R ceramic capacitors. This eliminates ESR requirements of older LDOs and reduces footprint versus tantalum or aluminum electrolytics while improving transient response.
How does the ADJ pin function in the feedback network?
The ADJ pin references the internal 1.225–1.275V bandgap. Output voltage is set by VOUT = VREF × (1 + R2/R1) + IADJ × R2, where R1 connects from VOUT to ADJ and R2 from ADJ to GND. IADJ is 55–120µA, so R2 should be ≤10kΩ to limit error.
Is thermal shutdown reversible without power cycling?
Yes - thermal shutdown is fully automatic and self-resetting. Once junction temperature falls below ~140°C (hysteresis ~10°C), regulation resumes without external intervention or power cycle, provided input voltage remains valid.
