DESCRIPTION
The Aeroflex Plainview VRG8657/8658 consists of two Positive Adjustable (RH1086) LDO voltage regulators each
capable of supplying 1.0Amps over the output voltage range as defined under recommended operating conditions. The
VRG8657/8658 offers excellent line and load regulation specifications and ripple rejection. There is full electrical
isolation between the regulators and each regulator to the package.
Dropout (V
IN
- V
OUT
) decreases at lower load currents for both regulators.
The VRG8657/8658 serves a wide variety of applications including SCSI-2 Active Terminator, High Efficiency Linear
Regulators, Post Regulators for Switching Supplies, Constant Current Regulators, Battery Chargers and
Microprocessor Supply.
The VRG8657/8658 has been specifically designed to meet exposure to radiation environments. The VRG8657 is
configured for a Thru-Hole 6 lead metal power package and the VRG8658 is configured for a Surface Mount 6 lead
metal power package. It is guaranteed operational from -55°C to +125°C. Available screened to MIL-STD-883, the
VRG8657/8658 is ideal for demanding military and space applications.
For detailed performance characteristic curves, applications information and typical applications see the
latest

Notes:
1. For Compliance with MIL-STD-883 Rev. Current density specification, the RH1086MK is derated to 1.0 Amp but is capable of 1.5Amps.
2. Unless otherwise specified, these specifications apply for post radiation and -55°C < Tc < +125°C.
3. Line and load regulation are guaranteed up to the maximum power dissipation of 15W. Power dissipation is determined by the input/output
differential voltage and the output current. Guaranteed maximum power dissipation will not be available over the full input/output voltage
range.
4. Dropout voltage is specified over the full output current range of the device. Test points and limits are shown on the Dropout Voltage curve,
see Figure 4.
5. Not tested. Shall be guaranteed by design, characterization, or correlation to other tested parameters.

FIGURE 2 – MAXIMUM POWER vs CASE TEMPERATURE
The maximum Power dissipation is limited by the thermal shutdown function of each regulator chip in the VG8657/8658. The
graph above represents the achievable power before the chip shuts down. The first line in the graph represents the maximum
power dissipation of the VG8657/8658 with one regulator on (the other off) and the other line represents both regulators on
dissipating equal power. If both regulators are on and one regulator is dissipating more power that the other, the maximum power
dissipation of the VG8657/8658 will fall between the two lines. This graph is based on the maximum junction temperature of
150°C and a thermal resistance (
Θ
JC
) of 5°C/W.
