Description
The FAN1084, FAN1084-1.5, and FAN1084-3.3 are low
dropout three-terminal regulators with 4.5A output current
capability. These devices have been optimized for low voltage
applications including V
TT
bus termination, where transient
response and minimum input voltage are critical. The
FAN1084 is ideal for low voltage microprocessor applica-
tions requiring a regulated output from 1.5V to 3.6A with an
input supply of 5V or less. The FAN1084-1.5 offers fixed
1.5V with 4.5A current capabilities for GTL+ bus V
TT
termination. The FAN1084-3.3 offers a fixed 3.3V output
at 4.5A.
On-chip thermal limiting provides protection against any
combination of overload and ambient temperature that
would create excessive junction temperatures.
The FAN1084 series regulators are available in the industry-
standard TO-220, TO-263 center cut, and TO-252 (DPAK)
power packages.

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. 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.
3. FAN1084 only.
4. Guaranteed by design.
