Reducing Power Dissipation
In some applications it may be necessary to reduce
the power dissipation in the LT3085 package without
sacrifi cing output current capability. Two techniques are
available. The fi rst technique, illustrated in Figure 8, em-
ploys a resistor in series with the regulator’s input. The
voltage drop across R
differential voltage and correspondingly decreases the
LT3085’s power dissipation.
As an example, assume: V
