The SPX2815 is a low power positive-voltage regulator designed to satisfy moderate power
requirements with a cost effective, small footprint solution. This device is an excellent choice for
use in battery-powered applications and portable computers. The SPX2815 features very low
quiescent current and a low dropout voltage of 1.1V at a full load. As output current decreases,
quiescent current flows into the load, increasing efficiency. SPX2815 is available in adjustable
or fixed 2.5V, 3.3V and 5.0V output voltages.
The SPX2815 is offered in several 3-pin surface mount packages: TO-252, TO-220 and TO-263.
An output capacitor of 10μF ceramic or tantalum provides unconditional stability.

Output Capacitor
To ensure the stability of the SPX2815, an
output capacitor of at least 10μF (ceramic or
tantalum) or 22μF (aluminum) is required. The
value may change based on the application
requirements of the output load or temperature
range. The value of Equivalent Series Resis-
tance (ESR) can vary based on the type of
capacitor used in the applications to guarantee
stability. The recommended value for ESR is
0.5Ω or less. A larger value of output capaci-
tance (up to 100μF) can improve the load tran-
sient response.
Soldering Methods
The SPX2815 die is attached to the heatsink lead
which exits opposite the input, output, and ground
pins.
Thermal Characteristics
The SPX2815 features internal thermal limiting
to protect the device during overload condi-
tions. Special care needs to be taken during
continuous load conditions such that the maxi-
mum junction temperature does not exceed
125°C. Thermal protection is activated at >179°C
and deactiviated at <165°C.
The thermal interaction from other components
in the application can affect the thermal resis-
tance of the SPX2815. The actual thermal
resistance can be determined with experimenta-
tion.
SPX2815 power dissipation is calculated as
follows:
