LX8580

LX8580 7A V ERY LOW D ROPOUT P OSITIVE A DJUSTABLE R EGULATOR T HE I NFINITE P OWER OF I NNOVATION P RODUCTION D ATA S HEET DESCRIPTION The LX8580 is a high-performance, very low dropout voltage regulator, designed for use with advanced microprocessors. This product can be used with separate voltage supplies for the control and power sections, allowing a power section dropout voltage as low as 100mV. The LX8580 can also be used in a single voltage supply configuration, with a dropout performance similar to that of the LX8584 (1.3V at 7A). The LX8580 is supplied in a fiveterminal TO-220 package, 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 than 1mV for a load current step of 7mA to 7A. The LX8580 is ideal for generating a secondary 2 - 2.5V low voltage supply on a motherboard where a 3.3V supply is already available.

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 3. 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.

With this pin it is possible to Kelvin-sense the output voltage at load. 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 should be selected so that CR ≤ 1 / 2πFRRA , where FR is the ripple frequency and RA is the value of the resistor between the output and sense leads of the LX8580. This is the power output of the device. 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. For the device to regulate, the voltage at this pin must be between 1.0V and 1.3V greater than the output voltage. This is the collector of the power section of the LX8580. 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 currents require higher voltages between VPWR and OUTPUT).
