The maximum input voltage that can be applied to the LT1085IM-3.6 is 15V, but it's recommended to keep it below 12V for reliable operation.
To ensure stability, make sure to use a minimum output capacitance of 10uF, and a maximum ESR of 1 ohm. Also, keep the input and output capacitors close to the IC to minimize noise and oscillations.
The maximum output current that the LT1085IM-3.6 can deliver is 3A, but it's recommended to keep it below 2.5A for reliable operation and to prevent overheating.
To protect the LT1085IM-3.6 from overheating, make sure to provide adequate heat sinking, such as a copper plane or a heat sink with a thermal resistance of less than 10°C/W. Also, keep the ambient temperature below 70°C.
The LT1085IM-3.6 is rated for operation up to 125°C, but its performance and reliability may degrade at high temperatures. It's recommended to derate the output current and voltage at high temperatures to ensure reliable operation.
