LM1085IT-5.0/NOPB IOUT

The LM1085IT-5.0/NPOB shows dropping characterisitics on 180mA.

The VIN is 7.8V, also temperature  of this device surface is around 45degC.

The occurance is 5/16.

The typical thing is added 100uF of alunimum capacitor onto VOUT.

Could you please let me know the possibility of this failure?

  • As described here, there is no reason for LM1085IT-5.0 to be in drop-out mode.

    I have no idea what this failure mode could possibly be accurately attributed to.

    Since there is only one (1) device being reported, possibly there is some ESD/EOS damage to the pass transistor .
