DESCRIPTION
The Aeroflex Plainview VRG8666 consists of a Positive Adjustable (RH3080) ULDO voltage regulator
capable of supplying 1.0Amps over the output voltage range as defined under recommended operating
conditions. The VRG8666 offers excellent line and load regulation specifications and ripple rejection.
The VRG8666 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 VRG8666 has been specifically designed to meet exposure to radiation environments and is configured
for an SMD power package. It is guaranteed operational from -55°C to +125°C. Available screened to
MIL-STD-883, the VRG8666 is ideal for demanding military and space applications.
Dropout (V

Notes:
1/ Specification derated to reflect Total Dose exposure to 100 Krad (Si) @+25°C.
2/ Dropout results from either minimum control voltage, V
CONTROL
, or minimum input voltage, V
IN
, both specified with respect to
V
OUT
. These specifications represent the minimum input-to-output differential voltage required to maintain regulation.
3/ Pulsed @ <10% duty cycle @ +25°C for characterization only. (See note 1/).
4/ Not tested. Shall be guaranteed to the specified limits.

FIGURE 2 – MAXIMUM POWER vs CASE TEMPERATURE
The maximum Power dissipation is limited by the thermal shutdown function of the regulator chip in the VRG8666.
The graph above represents the achievable power before the chip shuts down. The line in the graph represents the
maximum power dissipation of the VRG8666 This graph is based on the maximum junction temperature of 150°C
and a thermal resistance (
JC
) of 5°C/W.
