LX8582A-00 8.5A LOW DROPOUT POSITIVE REGULATORS

The LX8582A series ICs are low dropout three-terminal positive regulators with 8.5A rated output current. Processor applications such as the Cyrix® 6x86 TM & 6x86LTM , Pentium® Processor and Power PCTM applications requiring fast transient response are ideally suited for this product family. The LX8582A series products are guaranteed to have < 1.3V at 8.5A a.

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 LX8582A. Please see the table below for recommended minimum capacitor values. The regulator offers a more tightly controlled reference voltage tolerance and superior reference stability when measured against the older pin-compatible regulator types that it replaces. STABILITY The output capacitor is part of the regulator’s frequency compensation system. Many types of ca.
