DESCRIPTION
The Aeroflex Plainview VRG8657/8658 consists of two Positive Adjustable (RH1086) LDO voltage regulators each
capable of supplying 1.0Amps over the output voltage range as defined under recommended operating conditions. The
VRG8657/8658 offers excellent line and load regulation specifications and ripple rejection. There is full electrical
isolation between the regulators and each regulator to the package.
The VRG8657/8658 serves a wide variety of applications including SCSI-2 Active Terminator, High Efficiency
Linear Regulators, Post Regulators for Switching Supplies, Constant Current Regulators, Battery Chargers and
Microprocessor Supply.
The VRG8657/8658 has been specifically designed to meet exposure to radiation environments. The VRG8657 is
configured for a Thru-Hole 6 lead metal power package and the VRG8658 is configured for a Surface Mount 6 lead
metal power package. It is guaranteed operational from -55°C to +125°C. Available screened to MIL-STD-883, the
VRG8657/8658 is ideal for demanding military and space applications.
Dropout (V

Notes:
1/ For compliance with MIL-STD- 883 revision C current density specification, the RH1086MK is derated to 1 Amp but is capable of
1.5 Amps.
3/ Line and load regulation are guaranteed up to the maximum power dissipation of 15W. Power dissipation is determined by the
input/output differential voltage and the output current. Guaranteed maximum power dissipation will not be available over the full
input/output voltage range.
4/ Dropout voltage is specified over the full output current range of the device.
5/ Not tested. Shall be guaranteed by design, characterization, or correlation to other tested parameters.
6/ Pulsed @ <10% duty cycle @ +25°C (See Note 1).

FIGURE 2 – MAXIMUM POWER vs CASE TEMPERATURE
The maximum Power dissipation is limited by the thermal shutdown function of each regulator chip in the
VG8657/8658. The graph above represents the achievable power before the chip shuts down. The first line in the
graph represents the maximum power dissipation of the VG8657/8658 with one regulator on (the other off) and the
other line represents both regulators on dissipating equal power. If both regulators are on and one regulator is
dissipating more power that the other, the maximum power dissipation of the VG8657/8658 will fall between the two
lines. This graph is based on the maximum junction temperature of 150°C and a thermal resistance (
JC
) of 5°C/W.
