7A VERY LOW DROPOUT POSITIVE ADJUSTABLE REGULATOR
PRODUCTION DATA SHEET
DESCRIPTION
The LX8580 is a high-performance, very
low dropout voltage regulator, designed for
use with advanced microprocessors. This
product can be used with separate voltage
supplies for the control and power sections,
allowing a power section dropout voltage
as low as 100mV. The LX8580 can also be
used in a single voltage supply configuration,
with a dropout performance similar to that
of the LX8584 (1.3V at 7A).
The LX8580 is supplied in a five-
terminal TO-220 package, which allows the
implementation of remote (Kelvin) voltage
sensing. This sensing compensates for
output voltage variations due to load
changes and resistive voltage drops in
connectors and board traces. Typical load
regulation measured at the sense pin is less
than 1mV for a load current step of 7mA
to 7A.
The LX8580 is ideal for generating a
secondary 2 - 2.5V low voltage supply on a
motherboard where a 3.3V supply is already
available.
