The LX8587/87A Series ICs are positive
regulators designed to provide 3A output
current. Pentium Processor and Power
PC applications requiring fast transient
response are ideally suited for this product
family.
The LX8587A is guaranteed to have
<1.2 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 about 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 the TO-220 through hole, the
TO-263 surface-mount, and the TO-252
surface-mount packages. For higher current
applications see the LX8585 and the
LX8584 data sheets.
