Description
The RC1585 and RC1585-1.5 are low dropout three-terminal
regulators with 5A output current capability. These devices
have been optimized for low voltage applications including
bus termination, where transient response and mini-

mum input voltage are critical. The RC1585 is ideal for low
voltage microprocessor applications requiring a regulated
output from 1.5V to 3.6V with an input supply of 5V or less.
The RC1585-1.5 offers fixed 1.5V with 5A current capabilities for GTL+ bus V
Current limit is trimmed to ensure specified output current
and 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 RC1585 series regulators are available in the industrystandard TO-220, TO-263, TO-263 center cut and TO-252
power packages.
