Description
The FAN1583, FAN1583-1.5, and FAN1583-2.5 are ultra-low
dropout regulators with 1.5A output current capability.
These devices have been optimized for low voltage applica-
tions including V
TT
bus termination, where transient
response and minimum input voltage are critical. The
FAN1583 is ideal for low voltage microprocessor applica-
tions requiring a regulated output from 1.3V to 5.7V with a
power input supply of 1.75V to 6.5V. The FAN1583-1.5
offers fixed 1.5V with 1.5A current capabilities for GTL+
bus V
TT
termination. The FAN1583-2.5 offers fixed 2.5V
with 1.5A current capability for logic IC operation and pro-
cessors while minimizing the overall power dissipation.
Current limit ensures controlled short-circuit current. On-chip
thermal limiting provides protection against any combination
of overload and ambient temperature that would create exces-
sive junction temperatures.
The FAN1583 series regulators are available in the industry-
standard 5-Pin TO-220 and TO-263 power packages.

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 current. Guaranteed maximum output power will not be available over the full input/
output voltage range.

General
The FAN1583, FAN1583-1.5, and FAN1583-2.5 are three-
terminal regulators optimized for GTL+ V
TT
termination and
logic applications. These devices are short-circuit protected,
and offer thermal shutdown to turn off the regulator when the
junction temperature exceeds about 150°C. The FAN1583
series provides low dropout voltage and fast transient
response. Frequency compensation uses capacitors with low
ESR while still maintaining stability. This is critical in
addressing the needs of low voltage high speed microproces-
sor buses like GTL+.
to ensure stability. The frequency compensation of these
devices optimizes the frequency response with low ESR capaci-
tors. In general, it is suggested to use capacitors with an ESR
of <1Ω. It is also recommended to use bypass capacitors such
as a 22µF tantalum or a 100µF aluminum on the adjust pin of
the FAN1583 for low ripple and fast transient response. When
these bypassing capacitors are not used at the adjust pin, smaller
values of output capacitors provide equally good results.
Protection Diodes
In normal operation, the FAN1583 series does not require any
protection diodes. For the FAN1583, internal resistors limit
internal current paths on the adjust pin. Therefore, even with
bypass capacitors on the adjust pin, no protection diode is
needed to ensure device safety under short-circuit conditions.
Stability
The FAN1583 series requires an output capacitor as a part of
the frequency compensation. It is recommended to use a 22µF
solid tantalum or a 100µF aluminum electrolytic on the output
