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.

Adjustable Regulator Design 1.25V reference voltage is being developed between 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. R1 is chosen so that this current is specified at a minimum load current of 10mA. R2 is given by the formula: The SPX1582 uses a separate input voltage VCTRL ( VCTRL ≥ VOUT + 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. VOUT = VREF (1+ R2/R1) + IADJ (R2). The SPX1582 can power the 2.5V core voltage for microprocessors such as a PentiumPCTM, P55CTM, AMD5k86TM and K6TM and the IBM PowerPCTM 603EV and 604EV processors. The current flowing from the ADJ pin is typicaly 50μA. This ADJ pin contributes to the final VOUT but is usually neglected. Connecting the sense pin to the top of the resistor divider will improve load regulation. A typical application would use 3.3V for VIN and 5.0V for VCTRL from a motherboard power supply to provide a nominal 2.5V output. Using the sense pin provides a Kelvin measurement of output for reducing resistance-associated errors. 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. Power Up Sequencing The SPX1582 requires a power up sequence in that VIN must be applied before VCTRL to prevent a latchup condition. If this is not possible, then a 10Ω series resistor should be added to the VCTRL input to prevent the device from entering into latchup if VCTRL is applied before VIN.
