similar to that of the LX8584 (1.3V @
7.5A).
The LX8580A is supplied in a fiveterminal
TO-220,
TO-263,
or
Linfinity’s S-PAK packages, which
allows the implementation of remote
(Kelvin) voltage sensing. This sensing
compensates for output voltage
variations due to load changes and
resistive voltage drops in connectors
and board traces.
Typical load
regulation measured at the sense pin is
less that 1mV for a load current step of
7mA to 7.5A.
The LX8580A is ideal for generating a
secondary 2V-2.85V low voltage supply
on a motherboard where a 3.3V supply
is already available.

The
LX8580A
is
a
highperformance, very low dropout voltage
regulator, designed for use with
advanced microprocessors, micro
controllers,
or
video
graphics
controllers. This product can be used
with separate voltage supplies for the
control and power sections, allowing a
power regulation dropout voltage as
low as 100mV @ 1.5A. In AGP bus
systems requiring regulation of 3.3V
to 2.85V @ 3A, the LX8580A has a
max dropout of 250mV making it an
ideal power supply solution for today’s
graphics applications.
The LX8580A can also be used in a
single voltage supply configuration
with
a
dropout
performance

DESCRIPTION
This pin is the positive side of the reference voltage for the device. With this pin it is possible to
Kelvin-sense the output voltage at the load.

SENSE leads of the LX8580A

VCTRL
This pin is the voltage supply pin for the control circuitry of the device. The current flow into this pin
will be about 1% of the output current. Please refer to the electrical characteristics section of
the data sheet for dropout voltage for load conditions.
VPWR
This is the collector of the power section of the LX8580A. The output load current is supplied
through this pin. For the device to regulate, the voltage at this pin must be between 0.1V and 0.8V
greater than the output voltage (Higher output current require higher voltages differences between
VPWR and OUTPUT).

This pin is the negative side of the reference voltage for the device. Ripple rejection can be
improved by adding a small bypass capacitor from the ADJUST pin to ground. The capacitor value

Note 1: Dropout is caused by either minimum control voltage (VCTRL) or minimum power voltage (VPWR). Both parameters are specified with respect to
the output voltage. The specifications represent the minimum input/output voltage required to maintain 1% regulation.
Note 2: The control pin current is the drive current required for the output transistor. This current will track output current with roughly a 1:100 ratio.
The minimum value is equal to the quiescent current of the device.
Note 3: Minimum load current is defined as the amount of output current required to maintain regulation. Typically this current provides the bias to the
external resistor divider network used to set the output voltage.
