Hi,
We are using LM1085ISX-3.3 voltage regulator for stepping down 24 V dc to 3.3 V dc.
Even for a load current of 200mA the IC is extremely heating. Is that due to the high drop out voltage (24 - 3.3 = 20.7 V) at the IC?
In the datasheet it is mentioned as "The LM1085 is a regulator with a maximum dropout of 1.5 V at 3 A of load current."
Can we increase the dropout voltage by reducing the load current?
If this LM1085ISX-3.3 won't work in this case, could you please suggest any other IC for this case.
Thank You for your time.
