LX8584-33 7 A LOW DROPOUT POSITIVE REGULATORS

The LX8584/84A/84B series ICs are low dropout three-terminal positive regulators with a nominal 7A output current. This product family is ideally suited for Pentium® Processor and Power PCTM applications requiring fast transient response. The LX8584A is guaranteed to have < 1.2V at 7A and the LX8584/84B < 1.4V at 7A dropout voltage, making them ideal to prov.

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 LX8584/84A/ 84B 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.
