THE INFINITE POWER OF INNOVATION
DESCRIPTION KEY FEATURES
The LX8584/84A/84B series ICs are low dropout three-terminal positive regulators with a
nominal 7A output current. This product
family is ideally suited for Pentium
sor and Power PC
TM
applications requiring
®
Proces-
fast transient response. The LX8584A is guar-
anteed to have < 1.2V at 7A and the
LX8584/84B < 1.4V at 7A dropout voltage,
making them ideal to provide well regulated
outputs of 2.5V to 3.6V using a 5V input
supply. In addition, the LX8584B also of-
fers ±1% maximum voltage reference accuracy over temperature. Fixed versions
are also available and are specified in the
Available Options table below.
Current limit is trimmed above 7.1A to
ensure adequate output current and controlled short-circuit current. On-chip thermal limiting provides protection against any
combination of overload that would create
excessive junction temperatures.
The LX8584/84A series products are available in both the through-hole versions of
the industry standard 3-pin TO-220 and
TO-247 power packages.
The LX1431 Programmable Reference in
conjunction with the LX8584 7A LDO products offer precision output voltage (see application below) and are ideal for use in VRE
applications.

Note 2. Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature, using pulse testing with a low duty cycle. Changes in output voltage due to
heating effects are covered under the specification for thermal regulation.
