•
The FAN1587A, FAN1587A-1.5, and FAN1587A-3.3 are low
dropout three-terminal regulators with 3A 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
FAN1587A is ideal for low voltage microprocessor applications requiring a regulated output from 1.5V to 3.6V with an
input supply of 12V or less. The FAN1587A-1.5 offers fixed
1.5V with 3A current capability for GTL+ bus VTT termination. The FAN1587A-3.3 offers fixed 3.3V current capability
for logic IC operation.

Applications Information
General
The FAN1587A, FAN1587A-1.5, and FAN1587A-3.3 are
three-terminal regulators optimized for GTL+ VTT termination 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 FAN1587A
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+.

Stability
The FAN1587A series require 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. It is recommended to use bypass capacitors
such as a 22µF tantalum or a 100µF aluminum on the adjust
pin of the FAN1587A for low ripple and fast transient
response. When these bypassing capacitors are not used at
the adjust pin, larger values of output capacitors provide
equally good results. Refer to Typical Performance Characteristics for graph of stability of output capacitance ESR vs
load current.

Figure 11. Optional Protection
Ripple Rejection
Protection Diodes
In normal operation, the FAN1587A series does not require
any protection diodes. For the FAN1587A, 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 shortcircuit conditions.
A protection diode between the input and output pins is usually not needed. An internal diode between the input and output pins on the FAN1587A 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 11. Usually, normal power supply cycling or
system “hot plugging and unplugging” will not generate
current large enough to do any damage.
The adjust pin can be driven on a transient basis ±7V with
respect to the output, without any device degradation. As
with any IC regulator, exceeding the maximum input-tooutput voltage differential causes the internal transistors to
break down and none of the protection circuitry is then
functional.
REV. 1.0.5 11/10/03
In applications that require improved ripple rejection, a
bypass capacitor from the adjust pin of the FAN1587A 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 11. 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 FAN1587A regulator develops a 1.25V reference voltage between the output pin and the adjust pin (see Figure
12). 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.
The current out of the adjust pin adds to the current from R1
and is typically 35µA. Its output voltage contribution is
small and only needs consideration when very precise output
voltage setting is required.

Load Regulation
65-1587-15
It is not possible to provide true remote load sensing because
the FAN1587A series are three-terminal devices. Load regulation is limited by the resistance of the wire connecting the
regulators to the load. Load regulation per the data sheet
specification is measured at the bottom of the package.
For fixed voltage devices, negative side sensing is a true
Kelvin connection with the ground pin of the device returned
to the negative side of the load. This is illustrated in
Figure 13.

Thermal Considerations
The FAN1587A 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-to-ambient. 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.
For example, look at using an FAN1587AT to generate 3A
@ 1.5V ± 2% from a 3.3V source (3.2V to 3.6V).
Assumptions:
65-1587-17
Figure 13. Connection for Best Load Regulation
For adjustable voltage devices, negative side sensing is a true
Kelvin connection with the bottom of the output divider
returned to the negative side of the load. The best load regulation is obtained when the top of resistor divider R1 connects directly to the regulator output and not to the load.
Figure 14 illustrates this point.
•

•
•
•
VIN = 3.6V worst case
VOUT = 1.46V worst case
IOUT = 3A continuous
TA = 70°C
θCase-to-Ambient = 3°C/W (assuming both a heatsink and
a thermally conductive material)
The power dissipation in this application is:
PD = (VIN – VOUT) * (IOUT) = (3.6 – 1.46) * (3) = 6.42W
If R1 connects to the load, then the effective resistance
between the regulator and the load would be:
From the specification table:
RP × (1 + R2/R1), RP = Parasitic Line Resistance
TJ = TA + (PD) * (θCase-to-Ambient + θJC)
= 70 + (6.42) * (3 + 3) = 109°C
The connection shown in Figure 14 does not multiply RP by
the divider ratio. As an example, RP is about four milliohms
per foot with 16-gauge wire. This translates to 4mV per foot
at 1A load current. At higher load currents, this drop represents a significant percentage of the overall regulation. It is
important to keep the positive lead between the regulator and
the load as short as possible and to use large wire or PC
board traces.

PRODUCT SPECIFICATION
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. The cases of the FAN1587A series are directly
connected to the output of the device.
