Description
The FAN1589 is a low dropout three-terminal regulator with
2.7A output current capability. This device has been optimized
for V
TT
bus termination, where transient response and mini-
mum input voltage are critical. The FAN1589 offers fixed
1.2V with 2.7A current capability for a GTL+ bus V
TT
termination.
Current limit is trimmed to ensure specified output current and
controlled short-circuit current. On-chip thermal limiting pro-
vides protection against any combination of overload and
ambient temperature that would create excessive junction
temperatures.
The FAN1589 is available in the industry-standard TO-220,
TO-263, TO-263 center cut and TO-252 (DPAK) power
packages.
Applications
• A GTL+ bus supply for VRM 8.5
• Low voltage logic supply
• Post regulator for switching supply

Notes:
1. See thermal regulation specifications for changes in output voltage due to heating effects. Load and line regulation are
measured at a constant junction temperature by low duty cycle pulse testing.
2. Line and load regulation are guaranteed up to the maximum power dissipation (18W). Power dissipation is determined by
input/output differential and the output currrent. Guaranteed maximum output power will not be available over the full input/
output voltage range.
