TYPICAL APPLICATION
DESCRIPTION
The IRU1015 is a low dropout three-terminal adjustable
regulator with minimum of 1.5A output current capabil-
ity. This product is specifically designed to provide well
regulated supply for low voltage IC applications such as
486DX4 processor, P55CI/O supply as well as high
speed bus termination and low current 3.3V logic sup-
ply. The IRU1015 is also well suited for other applica-
tions such as VGA and sound card. The IRU1015 is
guaranteed to have <1.3V dropout at full load current
making it ideal to provide well regulated outputs of 2.5V
to 3.3V with 4.75V to 7V input supply.

Note 1: Low duty cycle pulse testing with Kelvin con-

Note 2: Dropout voltage is defined as the minimum dif-
ferential voltage between VIN and VOUT required to main-

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Introduction
The IRU1015 adjustable Low Dropout (LDO) regulator is
a three-terminal device which can easily be programmed
with the addition of two external resistors to any volt-
ages within the range of 1.25 to 5.5 V.This regulator un-
like the first generation of the three-terminal regulators
such as LM117 that required 3V differential between the
input and the regulated output, only needs 1.3V differen-
tial to maintain output regulation. This is a key require-
ment for today’s microprocessors that need typically
3.3V supply and are often generated from the 5V sup-
ply. Another major requirement of these microproces-
sors is the need to switch the load current from zero to
full load in tens of nanoseconds at their pins, which
translates to an approximately 300 to 500ns current step
at the regulator. In addition, the output voltage toler-
ances are sometimes tight and they include the tran-
sient response as part of the specification.
The IRU1015 is specifically designed to meet the fast
current transient needs as well as provide an accurate
initial voltage, reducing the overall system cost with the
need for fewer output capacitors.

PIN DESCRIPTIONS
A resistor divider from this pin to the VOUT pin and ground sets the output voltage.
The output of the regulator. A minimum of 10mF capacitor must be connected from this pin
to ground to insure stability.
The input pin of the regulator. Typically a large storage capacitor is connected from this
pin to ground to insure that the input voltage does not sag below the minimum drop out
voltage during the load transient response. This pin must always be 1.3V higher than VOUT
in order for the device to regulate properly.
