Description
The FAN1582, FAN1582-1.5, and FAN1582-2.5 are ultra-low
dropout regulators with 3A output current capability. These
devices have been optimized for low voltage applications
including V
TT
bus termination, where transient response and
minimum input voltage are critical. The FAN1582 is ideal
for low voltage microprocessor applications requiring a reg-
ulated output from 1.3V to 5.7V with a power input supply
of 1.75V to 6.5V. The FAN1582-1.5 offers fixed 1.5V with
3A current capabilities for GTL+ bus V
TT
termination. The
FAN1582-2.5 offers fixed 2.5V with 3A current capability
for logic IC operation and processors while minimizing the
overall power dissipation.
Current limit ensures controlled short-circuit current. On-chip
thermal limiting provides protection against any combination
of overload and ambient temperature that would create exces-
sive junction temperatures.
The FAN1582 series regulators are available in the 5-Pin
SPAK, TO-252 DPAK, and TO-263 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. Line and load regulation are guaranteed up to the maximum power dissipation (18W). 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.

General
The FAN1582, FAN1582-1.5, and FAN1582-2.5 are three-
terminal regulators optimized for GTL+ V
TT
termination and
logic applications. These devices are short-circuit protected,
and offer thermal shutdown to turn off the regulator when the
junction temperature exceeds about 150°C. The FAN1582
series provides low dropout voltage and fast transient
response. Frequency compensation uses capacitors with low
ESR while still maintaining stability. This is critical in
addressing the needs of low voltage high speed microproces-
sor buses like GTL+.
sequencing problems. The output voltage will not turn on
until both supplies are operating. If the control voltage
comes up first, the output current will be typically limited to
about 3.0 mA until the power input voltage comes up. If the
power input voltage comes up first the output will not turn on
at all until the control voltage comes up. The output can
never come up unregulated.
The FAN1582 can also be used as a single supply device
with the control and power inputs tied together. In this mode,
the dropout is determined by the minimum control voltage.
V

and V
CNTL
Functions
The FAN1582 utilizes a dual supply approach to maximize
efficiency. The collector of the power device is brought out
to the V
IN
pin to minimize internal power dissipation under
high current loads. V
CNTL
provides power for the control
circuitry and the drive for the output NPN transistor. V
CNTL
should be at least 1.2 V higher than the output voltage.
Special care was taken to ensure there are no supply-
REV. 1.1.2 2/26/03
Stability
The FAN1582 series requires an output capacitor as a part of
the frequency compensation. It is recommended to use a 22µF
solid tantalum or a 100µF aluminum electrolytic on the output
to ensure stability. The frequency compensation of these
devices optimizes the frequency response with low ESR capaci-
tors. In general, it is suggested to use capacitors with an ESR
of <0.3Ω. It is also recommended to use bypass capacitors
such as a 22µF tantalum or a 100µF aluminum on the adjust
