DESCRIPTION The LX8587/8587A series ICs are low dropout three-terminal positive regulators with a nominal 3A output current. Pentium® Processor and Power PCTM applications requiring fast transient response are ideally suited for this product family. The LX8587A is guaranteed to have < 1.2V dropout at 3A and the LX8587 < 1.3V at the same current, making them ideal to provide well-regulated outputs of 2.5V to 3.6V using a 5V input supply. Fixed versions are also available and specified in the Available Options table below. Current limit is trimmed above 3.1A to ensure adequate output current and controlled short-circuit current. On-chip thermal limiting provides protection against any combination of overload conditions that would create excessive junction temperatures. The LX8587/87A family of products are available in both TO-220 through-hole as well as TO-263 surface-mount packages. For higher current applications, see the LX8585 and LX8584 data sheets.

A P P L I C AT I O N N O T E S The LX8587/87A series ICs are easy to use Low-Dropout (LDO) voltage regulators. They have all of the standard self-protection features expected of a voltage regulator: short circuit protection, safe operating area protection and automatic thermal shutdown if the device temperature rises above approximately 165°C. Use of an output capacitor is REQUIRED with the LX8587/87A series. Please see the table below for recommended minimum capacitor values. These regulators offer a more tightly controlled reference voltage tolerance and superior reference stability when measured against the older pin-compatible regulator types that they replace. STABILITY The output capacitor is part of the regulator’s frequency compensation system. Many types of capacitors are available, with different capacitance value tolerances, capacitance temperature coefficients, and equivalent series impedances. For all operating conditions, connection of a 220µF aluminum electrolytic capacitor or a 47µF solid tantalum capacitor between the output terminal and ground will guarantee stable operation. If a bypass capacitor is connected between the output voltage adjust (ADJ) pin and ground, ripple rejection will be improved (please see the section entitled “RIPPLE REJECTION”). When ADJ pin bypassing is used, the required output capacitor value increases. Output capacitor values of 220µF (aluminum) or 47µF (tantalum) provide for all cases of bypassing the ADJ pin. If an ADJ pin bypass capacitor is not used, smaller output capacitor values are adequate. The table below shows recommended minimum capacitance values for stable operation.
