The FAN1581, FAN1581-1.2, FAN1581-1.5, and FAN15812.5 are ultra-low dropout regulators with 5A output current
capability. These devices have been optimized for low voltage applications including VTT bus termination, where transient response and minimum input voltage are critical. The
FAN1581 is ideal for low voltage microprocessor applications requiring a regulated output from 1.3V to 5.7V with a
power input supply of 1.75V to 6.5V. The FAN1581-1.5
offers fixed 1.5V with 5A current capabilities for GTL+ bus
VTT termination. Additionally, the FAN1581-1.2 offers fixed
1.2V output for CPU Bus termination. The FAN1581-2.5
offers fixed 2.5V with 5A current capability for logic IC
operation and processors while minimizing the overall power
dissipation.

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.

FAN1581
General
The FAN1581, FAN1581-1.2, FAN1581-1.5, and
FAN1581-2.5 are three-terminal regulators optimized for
DDR and GTL+ VTT 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 FAN1581 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 microprocessor buses like GTL+.
VIN and VCNTL Functions
The FAN1581 utilizes a dual supply approach to maximize
efficiency. The collector of the power device is brought out
to the VIN pin to minimize internal power dissipation under
high current loads. VCNTL provides power for the control
circuitry and the drive for the output NPN transistor.
VCNTL should be at least 1.2 V higher than the output voltage. Special care was taken to ensure there are no supplysequencing problems. The output voltage will not turn on
until both supplies are operating. If the control voltage
comes up first, the output current will be typically limited to
about 3.0 mA until the power input voltage comes up. If the
power input voltage comes up first the output will not turn on
at all until the control voltage comes up. The output can
never come up unregulated.
The FAN1581 can also be used as a single supply device
with the control and power inputs tied together. In this mode,
the dropout is determined by the minimum control voltage.
PRODUCT SPECIFICATION
A protection diode between the input and output pins is
usually not needed. An internal diode between the input and
the output pins on the FAN1581 series can handle microsecond surge currents of 50A to 100A. Even with large value
output capacitors it is difficult to obtain those values of surge
currents in normal operation. Only with large values of output capacitance, such as 1000µF to 5000µF, and with the
input pin instantaneously shorted to ground can damage
occur. A crowbar circuit at the input can generate those levels of
current; a diode from output to input is then recommended,
as shown in Figure 1. Usually, normal power supply cycling
or system “hot plugging and unplugging” will not generate
current large enough to do any damage.

VOUT
VIN
The FAN1581 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
to ensure stability. The frequency compensation of these
devices optimizes the frequency response with low ESR capacitors. In general, it is suggested to use capacitors with an ESR
of < 0.3Ω. It is also recommended to use bypass capacitors
such as a 22µF tantalum or a 100µF aluminum on the
adjust pin of the FAN1581 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. A graph showing stability of output capacitance
ESR vs load current can be found under Typical Performance
Characteristics.
Protection Diodes
In normal operation, the FAN1581 series does not require any
protection diodes. For the FAN1581, 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.

Ripple Rejection
In applications that require improved ripple rejection, a bypass
capacitor from the adjust pin of the FAN1581 to ground
reduces the output ripple by the ratio of VOUT/1.25V. The
impedance of the adjust pin capacitor at the ripple frequency
should be less than the value of R1 (typically in the range of
100Ω to 120Ω) in the feedback divider network in Figure 1.
Therefore, the value of the required adjust pin capacitor is a
function of the input ripple frequency. For example, if R1 equals
100Ω and the ripple frequency equals 120Hz, the adjust pin
capacitor should be 22µF. At 10kHz, only 0.22µF is needed.
Output Voltage
The FAN1581 regulator develops a 1.25V reference voltage
between the output pin and the adjust pin (see Figure 2).
Placing a resistor R1 between these two terminals causes a
constant current to flow through R1 and down through R2 to
set the overall output voltage. Normally, this current is the
specified minimum load current of 10mA.
REV. 1.2.0 11/6/03
PRODUCT SPECIFICATION
FAN1581
The current out of the adjust pin adds to the current from R1
and is typically 50µA. Its output voltage contribution is
small and only needs consideration when a very precise output voltage setting is required.

Load Regulation
The FAN1581 family provides true remote sensing, eliminating output voltage errors due to trace resistance. To utilize
remote sensing, connect the VSENSE pin directly to the
load, rather than at the VOUT pin. If the load is more than 1"
away from the FAN1581, it may be necessary to increase the
load capacitance to ensure stability.
Thermal Considerations
The FAN1581 series protect themselves under overload conditions with internal power and thermal limiting circuitry.
However, for normal continuous load conditions, do not exceed
maximum junction temperature ratings. It is important to
consider all sources of thermal resistance from junction-toambient. These sources include the junction-to-case resistance,
the case-to-heat sink interface resistance, and the heat sink
resistance. Thermal resistance specifications have been
developed to more accurately reflect device temperature and
ensure safe operating temperatures. The electrical characteristics section provides a separate thermal resistance and
REV. 1.2.0 11/6/03
maximum junction temperature for both the control circuitry
and the power transistor. Calculate the maximum junction
temperature for both sections to ensure that both thermal
limits are met.
Assumptions:
•
•
•
•
•
Vin = 3.6V worst case
VOUT = 1.47V worst case
IOUT = 5A continuous
TA = 40°C
Θ Case-to-Ambient = 5°C/W (assuming both a heatsink and a
thermally conductive material)
The power dissipation in this application is:
PD = (VIN - VOUT) * (IOUT) = (3.6-1.47) * (5) = 10.65W
From the specification table,
TJ = TA + (PD) * (Θ Case-to-Ambient + ΘJC)
= 40 + (10.65) * (5 + 3) = 125°C
The junction temperature is within the maximum rating.
Junction-to-case thermal resistance is specified from the IC
junction to the bottom of the case directly below the die. This
is the lowest resistance path for heat flow. Proper mounting
ensures the best thermal flow from this area of the package to
the heat sink. Use of a thermally conductive material at the
case-to-heat sink interface is recommended. Use a thermally
conductive spacer if the case of the device must be electrically isolated and include its contribution to the total thermal
resistance.
