DESCRIPTION
The SPX1587 is a low power positive-voltage regulator designed to satisfy moderate power requirements
with a cost effective, small footprint solution. This device is an excellent choice for use in battery-powered
applications and portable computers. The SPX1587 features very low quiescent current and a low dropout
voltage of 1.1V at a full load. As output current decreases, quiescent current flows into the load, increasing
efficiency. SPX1587 is available in adjustable or fixed 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V and 5.0V output voltages.
The SPX1587 is offered in several 3-pin surface mount packages: TO-252, TO-220 and TO-263. An output
capacitor of 10µF ceramic or tantalum provides unconditional stability.

NOTES:
Note 1: Output temperature coefficient is defined as the worst case voltage change divided by the total temperature range
Note 2: Dropout voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 100mV below its nominal value
measured at 1V differential at very low values of programmed output voltage, the minimum input supply voltage of 2V ( 2.3V
over temperature) must be taken into account.
Note 3: Thermal regulation is defined as the change in output voltage at a time T after a change in power dissipation is applied. excluding
load or line regulation effect.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Output Capacitor
To ensure the stability of the SPX1587, an output
capacitor of at least 10µF (ceramic or tantalum) or
22µF (aluminum) is required. The value may change
based on the application requirements of the output
load or temperature range. The value of ESR can vary
based on the type of capacitor used in the applica-
tions to guarantee stability. The recommended value
for ESR is 0.5Ω or less. A larger value of output
capacitance (up to 100µF) can improve the load
transient response.
Soldering Methods
The SPX1587 die is attached to the heatsink lead
which exits opposite the input, output, and ground
pins.
Thermal Characteristics
The SPX1587 features the internal thermal limiting
to protect the device during overload conditions.
Special care needs to be taken during continuous load
conditions such that the maximum junction tempera-
ture does not exceed 125°C. Thermal protection is
activated at >179°C and deactiviated at <165
°C.
The thermal interaction from other components in
the application can effect the thermal resistance of
the SPX1587. The actual thermal resistance can be
determined with experimentation.
SPX1587 power dissipation is calculated as follows:
P
D
= (V
IN
- V
OUT
)(I
OUT
)
Maximum Junction Temperature range:
T
J
= T
A
(max) + P
D
* thermal resistance
(junction-to-ambient)
Maximum junction temperature must not exceed the
125°C.
Ripple Rejection
Ripple rejection can be improved by adding a
capacitor between the ADJ pin and ground as
shown in Figure 8. When ADJ pin bypassing is
used, the value of the output capacitor required
increases to its maximum. If the ADJ pin is not
bypassed, the value of the output capacitor can be
lowered to 22µF for an electrolytic aluminum
capacitor or 10µF for a solid tantalum capacitor
(Fig 7).
However the value of the ADJ-bypass capacitor
should be chosen with respect to the following
equation:
C = 1 / ( 6.28 * F
R
* R
1
)
Where
C = value of the capacitor in Farads
(select an equal or larger standard value),
F
R
= ripple frequency in Hz,
R
1
= value of resistor R1 in Ohms.
If an ADJ-bypass capacitor is used, the amplitude
of the output ripple will be independent of the
output voltage. If an ADJ-bypass capacitor is not
used, the output ripple will be proportional to the
ratio of the output voltage to the reference voltage:
M = V
OUT
/ V
REF
Where M = multiplier for the ripple seen when the
ADJ pin is optimally bypassed.
V
REF
=1.25V
Ripple rejection for the adjustable version is
shown in Figure 5.
Output Voltage
The output of the adjustable regulator can be set to
any voltage between 1.25V and 15V. The value of
V
OUT
can be quickly approximated using the
formula
V
OUT
=1.25 *(R
1
+ R
2
)/R
1
A small correction to this formula is required
depending on the values of resistors R
1
and R
2
,
since the adjustable pin current (approx 50µA)
flows through R
2
. When I
ADJ
is taken into account,
the formula becomes
V
OUT
= V
REF
(1+ (R
2
/R
1
)) + I
ADJ
* R
2
where
V
REF
=1.25V
Layout Considerations
Parasitic line resistance can degrade load
regulation. In order to avoid this, connect R
1
directly to V
OUT
as illustrated in Figure 13. For the
same reason, R
2
should be connected to the
negative side of the load.
