Product details
Overview
FAN1086D285X from Fairchild Semiconductor is a fixed-output 2.85 V, 1.5 A low-dropout linear regulator in TO-252 package, optimized for active SCSI terminators and motherboard clock supplies with 1.5 V dropout at full load and 0.05% typical load regulation.
For engineers reviewing the FAN1086D285X datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include its fixed 2.85 V output, thermal shutdown at 155 °C, SOT-223/TO-252/TO-263 package options, and guaranteed current limit of 1.6–2.0 A under defined conditions.
Technical Context
The FAN1086D285X implements an NPN-based LDO architecture where quiescent current flows into the load-unlike PNP regulators-improving efficiency. It uses internal bandgap reference (1.25 V ±2%) and trimmed current limiting to ensure stable 2.85 V output across 4.35–7 V input range.
Thermal protection includes junction-sensing shutdown at 155 °C with 10 °C hysteresis and case-to-ambient thermal resistance of 50 °C/W (TO-252, 0.5 in² copper). Ripple rejection is 60–72 dB at 120 Hz with 22 µF tantalum output capacitor.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.85 V ±2%, specified for 4.35 V ≤ VIN ≤ 7 V input range |
| Max Output Current | 1.5 A continuous, with current limit trimmed to 1.6–2.0 A |
| Dropout Voltage | 1.5 V max at 1.5 A load, enabling operation with only 4.35 V input |
| Load Regulation | 0.05% typical (10 mA–1 A), critical for stable SCSI termination voltage |
| Ripple Rejection | 72 dB typical at 120 Hz, ensuring clean power for clock supplies |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at 155 °C junction temperature with 10 °C hysteresis |
| Quiescent Current | 4–13 mA, fully delivered to load-not wasted as bias current |
Pinout & Package
Package: 3-lead TO-252 (DPAK), with exposed thermal pad connected to VOUT (pin 2) for enhanced heat dissipation. Thermal resistance: ΘJA = 50 °C/W (with 0.5 in² copper), ΘJC = 3 °C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | Input supply connection | Accepts 4.35–7 V DC; must be decoupled with ≥10 µF capacitor |
| 2 (VOUT) | Regulated output and thermal pad | Delivers fixed 2.85 V; thermal pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal performance |
| 3 (GND) | Ground reference | Return path for load and internal circuitry; low-impedance layout required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| NPN-based LDO architecture | Quiescent current flows into load-no wasted bias current, improving efficiency over PNP regulators |
| Trimmed current limit | Guarantees 1.6–2.0 A short-circuit current while maintaining 1.5 A rated output |
| On-chip thermal limiting | Shuts down at 155 °C junction temperature with 10 °C hysteresis to prevent permanent damage |
| Low dropout at full load | 1.5 V max dropout enables use with 4.35 V input-critical for 5 V to 2.85 V conversion |
| Stable with ceramic or tantalum capacitors | Validated for 22 µF tantalum output cap; stability region defined vs. ESR per Figure 11 |
Applications
| Active SCSI Terminators | Motherboard Clock Supplies |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Termination of differential SCSI-2/SCSI-3 bus lines requiring precise 2.85 V bias voltage. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fixed-voltage current source providing termination voltage referenced to bus differential signals. Use Value: Matches SCSI specification's 2.85 V requirement with 0.05% load regulation, minimizing signal reflection and timing skew. | Use Scenario: Clean, low-noise power delivery to clock generators and PLLs on server/desktop motherboards. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Post-regulator supplying stable 2.85 V to clock ICs sensitive to supply ripple and thermal drift. Use Value: 72 dB ripple rejection at 120 Hz and 0.5% temperature stability ensure jitter-free clock distribution. |
| Battery Chargers | Post Regulators for Switching Supplies |
Use Scenario: Intermediate voltage regulation stage in multi-cell Li-ion charger IC feedback loops. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision reference voltage source for charge voltage control circuitry. Use Value: 1.25 V bandgap reference (±2%) and <0.02%/W thermal regulation enable accurate battery voltage sensing. | Use Scenario: Final-stage regulation after buck converter to reduce switching noise in mixed-signal subsystems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-noise linear post-regulator cleaning up switched-mode output. Use Value: 1.5 V dropout allows tight input–output margin; RMS output noise <0.003% of VOUT preserves analog signal integrity. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-dropout linear regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV1117-285CDR | 1 A max output, 1.2 V dropout at 1 A, SO-8 package, no thermal pad | Limited to lower-current applications; lacks TO-252 thermal performance for sustained 1.5 A loads | Select when board space permits SO-8 and thermal load is ≤1 A |
| LD1086DT285TR | 1.5 A output, 1.5 V dropout, TO-252 package, but 1.22 V reference (±1%) and no adjustable version | Same footprint and current rating, but tighter reference tolerance and different thermal shutdown threshold (160 °C) | Choose for improved reference accuracy where 160 °C shutdown is acceptable |
Compared with TLV1117-285CDR and LD1086DT285TR, the FAN1086D285X delivers higher current with identical TO-252 thermal design, unique quiescent current delivery to load, and application-specific validation for SCSI termination-making it optimal for high-reliability 2.85 V systems demanding 1.5 A.

FAQ
What is the input voltage range for the FAN1086D285X?
The FAN1086D285X operates with an input voltage range of 4.35 V to 7 V, as specified for the 2.85 V fixed-output variant. This ensures proper regulation and dropout margin-applying less than 4.35 V may cause output collapse, while exceeding 7 V risks absolute maximum rating violation.
Does the FAN1086D285X require an external capacitor on the ADJ pin?
No-the FAN1086D285X is a fixed-output variant and does not expose an ADJ pin; it uses internal resistor networks to set 2.85 V. Only the adjustable FAN1086 (non-suffixed) requires external R1/R2 on the ADJ pin. The FAN1086D285X has only IN, VOUT, and GND terminals.
What is the thermal resistance of the FAN1086D285X in TO-252 package?
The FAN1086D285X in TO-252 package has ΘJC = 3 °C/W (junction-to-case) and ΘJA = 50 °C/W (junction-to-ambient) when mounted on 0.5 in² copper area. Performance improves with larger copper pours or heatsinking attached to the exposed VOUT pad.
Is the FAN1086D285X suitable for automotive applications?
The FAN1086D285X is not AEC-Q100 qualified and specifies an operating junction temperature range of 0–125 °C-not extended automotive grade (−40–150 °C). Its use in automotive systems requires additional qualification per application requirements and thermal derating analysis.
How does the FAN1086D285X handle short-circuit conditions?
The FAN1086D285X limits short-circuit current to 1.6–2.0 A via trimmed internal circuitry and activates thermal shutdown at 155 °C junction temperature with 10 °C hysteresis. This dual protection prevents damage during sustained overload while allowing safe restart after cooldown.
