Description
The FAN1537 provides 2 output voltages: 3.3V, and either
adjustable or 2.5V or 1.8V fixed with 1.0A each output
current capability. These devices have been optimized for
low voltage where transient response and minimum input
voltage are critical.
Current limit features protect the outputs against short circuit
currents. On-chip thermal limiting provides protection
against any combination of overload and ambient tempera-
ture that would create excessive junction temperatures.
The FAN1537 series regulators are available in SO-8 and
5-lead SPAK and TO-252 DPAK power packages.

Notes:
1. See thermal regulation specifications for changes in output voltage due to heating effects. Load and line regulation are
measured at a constant junction temperature by low duty cycle pulse testing.
2. Power dissipation is determined by input/output differential and the output current. Guaranteed maximum output power will
not be available over the full input/output voltage range.

Application Hints
External Capacitors
Like any low-dropout regulator, the FAN1537 requires
external capacitors for stability.
Input Capacitor
A Tantalum input capacitor of 22µF is recommended. This
capacitor must be located at a distance of no more than 0.5"
from the input pin of the device and returned to a clean ana-
log ground.
Output Capacitor
The FAN1537 is designed to work with Ceramic or Tantalum
load capacitors.
A value of 22µF is recommended on each output, but the
value can be reduced to 10µF to save space.
Additional capacitance can be added without limit for better
performance, e.g. improved transient response and lower
noise.
When a Ceramic multilayer capacitor is used, the X7R
dielectric is recommended which holds the capacitance
within ±15%. The output capacitor should be located not
more than 0.5" from the output pins of the device and
returned to a clean analog ground.
