Class GTL+ bus supply
Low voltage logic supply
Post regulator for switching supply
Description
The RC1587, RC1587-1.5, and RC1587-3.3 are low dropout
three-terminal regulators with 3A output current capability.
These devices have been optimized for low voltage applica-
tions including V
TT
bus termination, where transient response
and minimum input voltage are critical. The RC1587 is ideal
for low voltage microprocessor applications requiring a reg-
ulated output from 1.5V to 3.6V with an input supply of 5V
or less. The RC1587-1.5 offers fixed 1.5V with 3A current
capability for GTL+ bus V
TT
termination. The RC1587-3.3
offers fixed 3.3V current capability for logic IC operation.
Current limit is trimmed to ensure specified output current and
controlled short-circuit current. On-chip thermal limiting pro-
vides protection against any combination of overload and
ambient temperature that would create excessive junction
temperatures.
The RC1587, RC1587-1.5, and RC1587-3.3 are available in
the industry-standard TO-220, TO-263, TO-263 center cut,
and TO-252 (DPAK) power packages.

Electrical Characteristics
Tj = 25°C unless otherwise specified.
The denotes specifications which apply over the specified operating temperature range.
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 currrent. Guaranteed maximum output power will not be available over the full input/
output voltage range.
