| Why audiophools love LT1083/84/85 ? |

| BravoV:
At least here locally, the goons here love it so much, the LT1083, LT1084 and LT1085 Low Drop Out voltage regulator, that drives it's price crazily high ::), and also officially by Analog (Linear Tech) its discontinued. -> https://www.analog.com/en/products/lt1083.html#product-overview Technically, apart from the phool's believe of course, is it really special ? Say compared to other brands comparable LDOs ? :-// |
| moffy:
Looking at the data sheet and its response to a step load current change with Cadj=1uF, it is pretty good. |
| poorchava:
Same thing as NE5532 opamps. <audiophile bashing > Because these LDOs sound the best! The scene seems wider... (or somethng....) </audiophile bashing> In Poland we have a saying: don't go into discussion with an idiot. He's gonna drive you to his level and beat you with experience. |

Didn't know those were so popular, but for the OP? don't hesitate to list alternatives that can provide that much current with those regulation characteristics and a drop-out voltage <= 1V. Not that many either. It's actually NOT discontinued yet, it's just flagged as NRND for the LT1083, and AD suggest using the LT1084 instead, which is in active production so far. High-power LDOs are not that many on the market and if you have a decent list of equivalents, some may be interested here. |
