Very Low Dropout 3.0 Amp Regulator With Enable POWER MANAGEMENT Description The SC1566 is a high performance positive voltage regulator designed for use in applications requiring very low dropout voltage at up to 3 Amps. Since it has superior dropout characteristics compared to regular LDOs, it can be used to supply 2.5V on motherboards or 2.8V on peripheral cards from the 3.3V supply thus allowing heat sink size reduction or elimination. Additionally, the five pin versions of SC1566 have an enable pin, to further reduce power dissipation while shut down. The SC1566 provides excellent regulation over variations in line, load and temperature. The SC1566 is available as three terminal fixed output voltage and five terminal fixed or adjustable output voltage devices with enable. Two package options are available: TO-263 and TO-220. SC1566 Features 350mV dropout @ 3A Adjustable output from 1.2V to 4.8V 2.5V and 1.8V options (5 pin parts also adjustable externally using resistors) Over current and over temperature protection Enable pin 10µA quiescent current in shutdown Low reverse leakage (output to input) Full industrial temperature range TO-220 and TO-263 packages Applications Battery powered systems Motherboards and notebook computers Peripheral cards Network cards Set top boxes Medical equipment Typical Application Circuits(1)(2) VIN ENABLE 1 2 U1 SC1566I5T-2.5 VIN EN GND 3 C1 VO ADJ 5 4 VO = See equation below R1 VO = C2 R2 1.200 (R1+ R2) Volts R2 VIN ENABLE C1 1 2 U1 SC1566I5T-2.5 VIN EN GND 3 VO ADJ 5 4 C2 VO = 2.5V VIN 1 U1 SC1566IT-1.8 VIN GND VO 3 VO = 1.8V C1 2 C2 Notes: (1) Maximum VO setpoint for 1.8V parts = 5.4V (2) This device is designed to operate with ceramic input and output capacitors www.semtech.com Revision: April 27, 2005 1 SC1566 POWER MANAGEMENT Absolute Maximum Ratings Exceeding the specifications below may result in permanent damage to the device, or device malfunction.

It provides a very simple, low cost solution that uses very little pcb real estate and typically does not require a heatsink. Additional features include an enable pin to allow for a very low power consumption standby mode, and a fully adjustable output (5-pin versions). Component Selection Input capacitor: a 4.7µF or 10µF ceramic capacitor is recommended. This allows for the device being some distance from any bulk capacitance on the rail. Additionally, input droop due to load transients is reduced, improving load transient response. Additional capacitance may be added if required by the application. Output capacitor: a minimum bulk capacitance of 2.2µF, along with a 0.1µF ceramic decoupling capacitor is recommended. Increasing the bulk capacitance will improve the overall transient response. The use of multiple lower value ceramic capacitors in parallel to achieve the desired bulk capacitance will not cause stability issues. Although designed for use with ceramic output capacitors, the SC1566 is extremely tolerant of output capacitor ESR values and thus will also work comfortably with tantalum output capacitors. For reference, the phase-margin contour of Figure 1. can be used  2005 Semtech Corp. 7 to choose an appropriate output capacitor for a given stability requirement. Noise immunity: in very electrically noisy environments, it is recommended that 0.1µF ceramic capacitors be placed from IN to GND and OUT to GND as close to the device pins as possible. External voltage selection resistors (5-pin parts): the use of 1% resistors, and designing for a current flow ≥ 10µµA is recommended to ensure a well regulated output (thus R2 ≤ 120kΩ). Thermal Considerations The power dissipation in the SC1566 is approximately equal to the product of the output current and the input to output voltage differential: PD ≈ (VIN − VOUT ) • I O The absolute worst-case dissipation is given by: PD ( MAX ) = (VIN ( MAX ) − VOUT ( MIN ) )• I O ( MAX ) + VIN ( MAX ) • I Q ( MAX ) For a typical scenario, VIN = 3.3V ± 5%, VOUT = 2.8V and IO = 2.5A, therefore: VIN(MAX) = 3.465V, VOUT(MIN) = 2.744V and IQ(MAX) = 1.75mA, Thus PD(MAX) = 1.81W. www.semtech.com SC1566 POWER MANAGEMENT Applications Information (Cont.) Using this figure, and assuming TA(MAX) = 85°C, we can calculate the maximum thermal impedance allowable to maintain TJ ≤ 150°C (see page 7): R TH ( J − A )( MAX ) = (T J( MAX ) − TA (MAX ) ) PD (MAX ) = (150 − 85 ) = 36 °C / W 1.81 R TH ( J − C )( MAX ) = 3 °C / W and R TH ( C − S ) = 0 °C / W , therefore R TH ( S − A )( MAX ) = 33 °C / W This should be achievable for the TO-263 package using pcb copper area to aid in conducting the heat away from the device, such as a large (~2 squ. inch) pad connected to the tab of the device. Internal ground/power planes and air flow will also assist in removing heat. For higher power dissipations it may be necessary to use a small heatsink and the TO-220 package.
