DESCRIPTION
The LT
power the new generation of microprocessors. The drop-
out voltage of this device is 100mV at light loads rising to
just 430mV at 10A. To achieve this dropout a second low
current input voltage 1V greater than the output voltage is
required. The device can also be used as a single supply
device where dropout is comparable to an LT1584.
Several other new features have been added to the LT1581.
A remote SENSE pin is brought out. This feature virtually
eliminates output voltage variations due to load changes.
Typical load regulation for a load current step of 100mA to
10A, measured at the SENSE pin, is less than 1mV.
The LT1581 has fast transient response, equal to the
LT1584. On fixed voltage devices, the ADJUST pin is
brought out. A small capacitor on the ADJUST pin further
improves transient response.
This device is ideal for generating processor supplies of
2V to 3V on motherboards where both 5V and 3.3V
supplies are available.
