1.2V Versions available for GTL termination

Description
The FAN1581, FAN1581-1.2, FAN1581-1.5, and FAN1581-
2.5 are ultra-low dropout regulators with 5A output current
capability. These devices have been optimized for low volt-
age applications including V
TT
bus termination, where tran-
sient response and minimum input voltage are critical. The
FAN1581 is ideal for low voltage microprocessor applica-
tions requiring a regulated output from 1.3V to 5.7V with a
power input supply of 1.75V to 6.5V. The FAN1581-1.5
offers fixed 1.5V with 5A current capabilities for GTL+ bus
V
TT
termination. Additionally, the FAN1581-1.2 offers fixed
1.2V output for CPU Bus termination. The FAN1581-2.5
offers fixed 2.5V with 5A current capability for logic IC
operation and processors while minimizing the overall
power dissipation.
Current limit ensures controlled short-circuit current. On-chip
thermal limiting provides protection against any combination
of overload and ambient temperature that would create exces-
sive junction temperatures.
The FAN1581 series regulators are available in the 5-pin
TO-263, TO-252 and TO-220 packages.

Pin Function Descrition
Remote Voltage Sense.
Connect this pin to the load to permit true remote sensing and
avoid trace drops.
Adjust or Ground.
On the FAN1581, this pin forms the feedback to determine the output
voltage. On the FAN1581-1.2, -1.5 and -2.5, connect this pin to ground.
Output Voltage.
This pin and the tab are output.
Control Voltage.
This pin draws small-signal power to control the FAN1581 circuitry.
Connect to a voltage higher than VIN, as shown in the applications circuits.

Notes:
1. See thermal regulation specifications for changes in output voltage due to heating effects. Load and line regulation are
measured at a constant junction temperature by low duty cycle pulse testing.
2. Line and load regulation are guaranteed up to the maximum power dissipation (18W). Power dissipation is determined by
input/output differential and the output current. Guaranteed maximum output power will not be available over the full input/
output voltage range.
3. FAN1581 only.
4. FAN1581-1.5 only.
5. FAN1581-2.5 only.
6. FAN1581-1.2 only.
