Description
The FAN1582, FAN1582-1.5, and FAN1582-2.5 are ultra
low dropout regulators with 3A output current capability.
These devices are optimized for low-voltage applica-
tions, including V
TT
bus termination, where transient
response and minimum input voltage are critical. The
FAN1582 is ideal for low-voltage microprocessor appli-
cations requiring a regulated 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 capa-
bilities for GTL+ bus V
TT
termination.
The FAN1582-2.5 offers fixed 2.5V with 3A current capa-
bility for logic IC operation and processors while minimiz-
ing the overall power dissipation.
Current limit ensures controlled short-circuit current. On-
chip thermal limiting provides protection against combi-
nation of overload and ambient temperature that would
create excessive junction temperatures.
The FAN1582 is available in a 5-pin TO-263 power package.
Applications
■
Support of GTL+ bus supply
■
Low voltage logic supply
■
Embedded processor supplies
■
Split plane regulator
■

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses exceeding the absolute maximum ratings may damage the device. The device may not function or be opera-
ble above the recommended operating conditions and stressing the parts to these levels is not recommended. In addi-
tion, extended exposure to stresses above the recommended operating conditions may affect device reliability. The
absolute maximum ratings are stress ratings only.

Notes:
1. FAN1582 only.
2. FAN1582-1.5 only.
3. FAN1582-2.5 only.
4. 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.
5. Line and load regulation are guaranteed up to the maximum power dissipation (18W). Power dissipation is deter-
mined by input/output differential and the output current. Guaranteed maximum output power is not available over
the full input/output voltage range.
