LT1528
3A Low Dropout Regulator
for Microprocessor Applications
FEATURES DESCRIPTION n The LT ®1528 is a 3A low dropout regulator optimized to
handle the large load current transients associated with
the current generation of microprocessors. This device has
the fastest transient response of currently available PNP
regulators and is very tolerant of variations in capacitor
ESR. Dropout voltage is 75mV at 10mA, rising to 300mV
at 1A and 600mV at 3A. The device has a quiescent current of 400μA. Quiescent current is well controlled; it does
not increase significantly as the device enters dropout.
The regulator can operate with output capacitors as small
as 3.3μF, although larger capacitors will be needed to
achieve the performance required in most microprocessor
applications. The LT1528 is available with a fixed output
voltage of 3.3V. An external SENSE pin allows adjustment
to output voltages greater than 3.3V, using a simple resistive divider. This allows the device to be adjusted over a
wide range of output voltages, including the 3.3V to 4.2V
range required by a variety of processors from Intel, IBM,
AMD, and Cyrix. n Dropout Voltage: 0.6V at IOUT = 3A
