DESCRIPTION
The LT ®1580 is a 7A low dropout regulator designed to
power the new generation of microprocessors. The drop-
out voltage of this device is 100mV at light loads rising to
just 540mV at 7A. To achieve this dropout, a second low
current input voltage 1V greater than the output voltage, is
required. The device can also be used as a single supply
device where dropout is comparable to an LT1584.
Several other new features have been added to the LT1580.
A remote SENSE pin is brought out. This feature virtually
eliminates output voltage variations due to load changes.
Typical load regulation, measured at the SENSE pin, for a
load current step of 100mA to 7A is less than 1mV.
The LT1580 has fast transient response, equal to the
LT1584. On fixed voltage devices, the ADJ pin is brought
out. A small capacitor on the ADJ pin further improves
transient response.
This device is ideal for generating processor supplies of
2V to 3V on motherboards where both 5V and 3.3V
supplies are available.
