Product details
Overview
LT3086IR#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 40V, 2.1A adjustable low dropout linear regulator with integrated cable drop compensation, output current monitoring (IMON = IOUT/1000), and programmable thermal/current limits. It operates from 1.4V to 40V input, delivers ±2% output voltage accuracy over line/load/temperature, and supports 0.4V–32V output set by a single resistor. Used in high-reliability USB power supplies and post-regulation of switching converters.
For engineers reviewing the LT3086IR#TRPBF datasheet, LT3086IR#TRPBF pinout, LT3086IR#TRPBF application, or LT3086IR#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 330mV dropout at 2.1A, 40µVRMS output noise (10Hz–100kHz), ceramic capacitor stability (≥10µF), reverse-battery/-current/-output protection, and 7-lead DD-Pak thermal performance (θJC = 3°C/W).
Technical Context
The LT3086IR#TRPBF implements a precision bandgap-based reference architecture with Kelvin-sensed SET pin control, enabling accurate output voltage programming independent of load wiring resistance. Its master/slave paralleling capability eliminates external ballast resistors for current sharing.
Cable drop compensation (CDC) uses IMON feedback to inject compensating voltage into the SET node, canceling IR losses across load cables. The TEMP pin provides 10mV/°C analog die temperature output, while ILIM and RPWRGD pins support externally programmable current limit and power-good threshold with hysteresis.

Pinout & Package
LT3086IR#TRPBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 7-lead Plastic DD-Pak package with exposed tab (GND). The package offers θJC = 3°C/W and θJA = 15–19°C/W, optimized for high-power dissipation on PCBs with internal ground planes.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar adjustable LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3375EFE#TRPBF | Multi-channel (up to 4) 1A buck regulator with integrated LDO; no CDC or IMON functionality. | Suitable for multi-rail systems needing compact integration, not single-rail high-current LDO replacement. | Select when board space is constrained and multiple lower-current rails are required instead of one 2.1A rail. |
| TPS7A8300RGRT | 2A LDO with 25µVRMS noise and 1.1V–3.3V fixed output range; lacks CDC, TEMP, and IMON features. | Better for ultra-low-noise fixed-output applications where programmability and diagnostics are secondary. | Choose when noise is paramount (<25µVRMS) and output voltage is fixed; avoid if cable compensation or thermal monitoring is needed. |
Compared with LTC3375EFE#TRPBF and TPS7A8300RGRT, the LT3086IR#TRPBF uniquely combines 2.1A current, programmable cable compensation, and three-channel analog monitoring (IMON/TEMP/PWRGD) in a single DD-Pak package-making it irreplaceable for high-current, remotely sensed, and fault-diagnosable power rails.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current and dropout voltage specification for LT3086IR#TRPBF?
The LT3086IR#TRPBF delivers up to 2.1A continuous output current with a typical dropout voltage of 330mV at that load. This value is guaranteed over temperature and line conditions per the datasheet's "Guaranteed Dropout Voltage" curve. The 7-lead DD-Pak package enables this performance through low thermal resistance (θJC = 3°C/W), allowing sustained operation without thermal shutdown under proper PCB layout.
How does cable drop compensation work on LT3086IR#TRPBF, and what external components are required?
Cable drop compensation on the LT3086IR#TRPBF uses the IMON output (IOUT/1000) fed into the CDC pin to inject compensating voltage into the SET node, canceling IR loss in load cables. Required external components are RMON (to set IMON scaling) and RCDC (calculated as RCDC = RMON × RSET × 3000 × RWIRE). For a 0.24Ω cable and RSET = 90.9kΩ, RCDC = 46.4kΩ ensures 5V is maintained at the load despite 240mV drop at 1A.
Can LT3086IR#TRPBF be paralleled with other units, and what design considerations apply?
Yes, LT3086IR#TRPBF supports master/slave paralleling without external ballast resistors. The TRACK pin accepts a master's SET voltage to force slave output tracking. Key considerations include matching RMON values across units, routing TRACK with low inductance, and ensuring thermal symmetry-sharing error is limited to ±10% at 2.1A. The DD-Pak's low θJC helps balance die temperatures during parallel operation.
What protection features does LT3086IR#TRPBF include, and how are they implemented?
LT3086IR#TRPBF integrates reverse-battery protection (blocks –40V on IN), reverse-current protection (limits OUT-to-IN current to 1µA), and reverse-output protection (blocks VOUT > VIN when SHDN = low). Thermal shutdown activates above 125°C (adjustable via TEMP pin), and foldback current limiting responds to overloads or excessive VIN–VOUT differentials-both programmable via external resistors on ILIM and TEMP pins.
Is LT3086IR#TRPBF stable with ceramic output capacitors, and what is the minimum value required?
Yes, LT3086IR#TRPBF is fully stable with ceramic output capacitors, requiring only 10µF minimum (X5R/X7R) for all operating conditions. This eliminates ESR dependency and enables compact, reliable designs without electrolytic or tantalum capacitors. Stability is verified across temperature and load, including transient response with 10µF COUT and 10nF CSET for optimal noise suppression.
