Working Principle of AP1086K15L-U

The Linear Regulator is a three-terminal voltage regulator that phases out the voltage differential between two terminals. This is known as “closed-loop” regulation. The AP1086K15L-U gathers input from a reference voltage, typically from a bandgap reference. An error signal is generated from the comparison between the reference voltage and the output voltage. The error signal adjusts the power transistor to maintain a preset output voltage, regardless of the input voltage or changes in the load current. The AP1086K15L-U uses PWM regulation and operates with an output current up to 150mA.
