LT1580/LT1580-2.5 7A, Very Low Dropout Regulator
U FEATURES DESCRIPTION

Low Dropout, 540mV at 7A Output Current
The LT ®1580 is a 7A low dropout regulator designed to ■
Fast Transient Response
power the new generation of microprocessors. The drop- ■
Remote Sense
out voltage of this device is 100mV at light loads rising to ■ 1mV Load Regulation just 540mV at 7A. To achieve this dropout, a second low ■ Fixed 2.5V Output and Adjustable Output current input voltage 1V greater than the output voltage, is ■ No Supply Sequencing Problems in required. The device can also be used as a single supply Dual Supply Mode device where dropout is comparable to an LT1584. Several other new features have been added to the LT1580.
U APPLICATIONS
A remote SENSE pin is brought out. This feature virtually eliminates output voltage variations due to load changes. ■ Microprocessor Supplies Typical load regulation, measured at the SENSE pin, for a ■ Post Regulators for Switching Supplies load current step of 100mA to 7A is less than 1mV. ■ High Current Regulators ■ The LT1580 has fast transient response, equal to the 5V to 3.XXV for Pentium® Processors Operating LT1584. On fixed voltage devices, the ADJ pin is brought at 90MHz to 166MHz and Beyond ■ out. A small capacitor on the ADJ pin further improves 3.3V to 2.9V for Portable Pentium Processor ■ transient response. PowerPCTM Series Power Supplies This device is ideal for generating processor supplies of 2V to 3V on motherboards where both 5V and 3.3V supplies are available. , LTC and LT are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.
