DESCRIPTION
The SPX1582 is a 3A Low Dropout Regulator with extremely low dropout voltage. The adjustable version requires only
two external resistors to set the output voltage. The fixed version has a preset output of 3.3V, 2.8V or 2.5V and does
not require any external resistors. The SPX1582 features a low dropout of 400mV(Typ.) and offers fast transient
response. This device is suitable for Pentium applications requiring 2.8V, 2.5V from 3.3V ATX power supplies, where
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 excellent 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 SPX1582 is also an excellent choice
as a post regulator for switching supply applications.
The SPX1582 offers protection against over-current faults, reversed input polarity, over temperature operation and
positive or negative transient voltages.
The SPX1582 is offered in a 5 pin TO-220 and TO-263 compatible with industry standard 5-terminal regulators. For
5A, 3A and 1.5A ultra low dropout versions refer to SPX1581, SPX1582 and SPX1583 data sheets respectively.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
The SPX1582 is designed as a high performance
and low cost solution for applications requiring
a lower dropout than traditional NPN regulators.
The SPX1582 uses a separate input voltage V
CTRL
( V
CTRL
≥
V
OUT
+ 1.3V) to minimize the dropout
voltage. This allows the 2.5V power for the load
to come from a 3.3V system supply. As an added
benefit this will reduce the heat dissipation*, and
lower heatsink and cooling fan costs.
The SPX1582 can power the 2.5V core voltage
for microprocessors such as a PentiumPC
TM
,
P55C
TM
, AMD5k86
TM
and K6
TM
and the IBM
PowerPC
TM
603EV and 604EV processors.
A typical application would use 3.3V for V
IN
and
5.0V for V
CTRL
from a motherboard power sup-
ply to provide a nominal 2.5V output. Using the
sense pin provides a Kelvin measurement of
output for reducing resistance-associated errors.
Power Up Sequencing
The SPX1582 requires a power up sequence in
that V
IN
must be applied before V
CTRL
to prevent
a latchup condition. If this is not possible, then a
10Ω series resistor should be added to the V
CTRL
input to prevent the device from entering into
latchup if V
CTRL
is applied before V
IN
.
Adjustable Regulator Design
1.25V reference voltage is being developed be-
tween the SENSE pin and the ADJ pin of the
SPX1582. Adding two external resistors (see fig
1.) will allow setting the output voltage from
1.25V to 6V. R
1
is chosen so that this current is
specified at a minimum load current of 10mA.
R
2
is given by the formula:
V
OUT
= V
REF
(1+ R
2
/R
1
) + I
ADJ
(R
2
).
The current flowing from the ADJ pin is typicaly
50μA. This ADJ pin contributes to the final
V
OUT
but is usually neglected. Connecting the
sense pin to the top of the resistor divider will
improve load regulation.
Lowering Noise
For the fixed voltage device, adding a capacitor
at the GND pin will improve transient response.
This capacitor is chosen in the range of 1μF to
0.1μF and will depend on the amount of output
capacitance in the system.
