SNVS039J June 2000 – April 2015 LM1086
PRODUCTION DATA.
A common street light control or automatic light control circuit is designed in Figure 27 based on the LM1086-ADJ. The photo transistor conducts in the presence of light and grounds the ADJ pin preventing the lamp from turning on. However, in the absence of light, the LM1086 regulates the voltage to 1.25 V between OUT and ADJ, ensuring the lamp remains on.
