POWER MANAGEMENT
Description
The SC1566 is a high performance positive voltage regulator designed for use in applications requiring very low dropout voltage at up to 3 Amps. Since it has superior dropout characteristics compared to regular LDOs, it can be used to supply 2.5V on motherboards or 2.8V on peripheral cards from the 3.3V supply thus allowing heat sink size reduction or elimination. Additionally, the five pin versions of SC1566 have an enable pin, to further reduce power dissipation while shut down. The SC1566 provides excellent regulation over variations in line, load and temperature.
The SC1566 is available as three terminal fixed output voltage and five terminal fixed or adjustable output voltage devices with enable. Two package options are available: TO-263 and TO-220.

Notes:
(1)Low duty cycle pulse testing with Kelvin connections required.
(2)Defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops to 1% below the value measured at a differential of 0.7V.
(3)Required to maintain regulation. Voltage set resistors R1 and R2 are usually utilized to meet this requirement. Adjustable versions only.
(4)Guaranteed by design.
(5)When VADJ exceeds this threshold, the “Sense Select” switch disconnects the internal feedback chain from the error amplifier and connects VADJ instead.
