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
minimum input voltage are critical. The FAN1582 is ideal
for low voltage microprocessor applications 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 capabilities for GTL+ bus V
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 excessive 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.
