description
The SPX1583 is a 1.5A low dropout regulator with 560mV low dropout
voltage. The adjustable version requires only two external resistors to
set the output voltage. The fixed version has a preset output of 2.5V or
3.3V and does not require any external resistors. The SPX1583 fea-
tures a low dropout of 560mV (typ.) and offers fast transient response.
This device is suitable for Pentium
®
processor applications requiring
2.8V or 2.5V from 3.3V ATX power supplies, where a low current input
voltage 1V greater than the output voltage is needed. With an external
sense pin the load regulation is less than 1mV. This device is an excel-
lent choice for the use in powering low voltage microprocessors that
require a lower dropout, fast transient response to regulate from 3.3V
and 5V supplies. The SPX1583 is also an excellent choice as a post
regulator for switching supplies applications as it offers protection
against over-current faults, reversed input polarity, over temperature
operation and positive and negative transient voltage.
The SPX1583 is offered in industry standard 5 pin TO-220 and
TO-263 packages.
