EZ1580/EZ1581 EZ1582/EZ1583 Dual Input Low Dropout Regulator POWER MANAGEMENT Description Features The EZ158X family of high performance positive voltage regulators are designed for use in applications requiring very low dropout voltage at up to 7, 5, 3 and 1.5 amps. Capable of supplying up to 2.8V on boards where both 5V and 3.3V supplies are available, the superior dropout characteristics of the EZ158X result in reduced heat dissipation compared to regular LDOs. This allows for heatsink size reduction or elimination. Additionally, the EZ158X provides excellent regulation over variations in line, load and temperature. Remote sense operation allows compensating for trace, connector and other resistive losses. 540mV dropout @ 7A in dual supply mode (EZ1580) Remote sense operation Fast transient response 0.5% initial accuracy Line regulation typically 0.08% Load regulation typically 0.08% 5 Pin TO-220 and TO-263 packages Applications Outstanding features include very low dropout performance at rated current, fast transient response, remote sense, internal current limiting, thermal shutdown and safe operating area protection of the output device.

Good quality, low ESR tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors should be used. Increasing the value of the output capacitor will improve the overall transient response. (2) If the same voltage is input to both PWR and CTL, then the dropout voltage will become 1.3V maximum.

Pin Descriptions Pin # Symbol Pin Name Pin Function 1 SNS SENSE This pin is the positive side of the reference voltage for this device. With this pin it is possible to Kelvin sense the output voltage at the load. 2 AD J ADJUST This pin is the negative side of the reference voltage for this device. Transient response can be improved by adding a small bypass capacitor from the adjust pin to ground. 3 OUT OUTPUT This is the power output of the device. This pin is electrically connected to the tab. 4 CTL CONTROL This pin is the supply pin for the control circuitry for the device. The current flow into this pin will be approximately 1% of the output current. For the device to regulate, the voltage on this pin must be between 1.0V and 1.3V greater than the output voltage. 5 PWR POWER This is the collector input to the power device of the EZ1583. The ouput load current is supplied through this pin. For the device to regulate, the voltage on this pin must be between 0.1V and 0.8V greater than the output voltage, depending upon load current. 2003 Semtech Corp. 4 www.semtech.com EZ1580/EZ1581 EZ1582/EZ1583 POWER MANAGEMENT Applications Information The EZ158X is a low dropout regulator designed to power low voltage microcontrollers, graphics ICs, sound cards etc. fan costs. For lower current applications, the heatsink might be eliminated altogether. For a load of 7A at 2.5V, the regulator would dissipate 17.5W when converting from 5V, but only 5.6W from a 3.3V input. The dropout voltage is minimized by utilizing a separate input voltage, VCTL, which should exceed VOUT by at least 1.3V. The 2.5V (for example) power for the load can be derived from a 3.3V system supply. Since the efficiency of a linear regulator is the ratio of the output to the input voltage, heat dissipation is reduced by using a 3.3V input (versus a 5V one), thereby lowering heatsink and cooling Remote Kelvin sensing of the output voltage can be achieved by connecting the sense pin to the output at the load. Remote sensing will reduce errors associated with resistive trace losses between regulator and processor.
