FEATURES
The LT
®
1575/LT1577 are single/dual controller ICs that
drive low cost external N-channel MOSFETs as source
followers to produce ultrafast transient response, low
dropout voltage regulators.
The LT1575/LT1577 achieve unprecedented transient-
load performance by eliminating expensive tantalum or
bulk electrolytic output capacitors in the most demanding
modern microprocessor applications. Precision-trimmed
adjustable and fixed output voltage versions accommo-
date any required microprocessor power supply voltage.
Selection of the N-channel MOSFET R
DS(ON)
allows very
low dropout voltages to be achieved.
Unique protection features include a high side current
limit amplifier that activates a fault protection timer
circuit. A multifunction Shutdown pin provides either
current limit time-out with latchoff, overvoltage protec-
tion, thermal shutdown or a combination of these func-
tions. The LT1575 is available in 8-pin SO or PDIP and the
LT1577 is available in 16-pin narrow body SO.

The denotes specifications which apply over the full operating
temperature range.
Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of the device may be impaired.
Note 2: T
J
is calculated from the ambient temperature T
A
and power
dissipation P
D
according to the following formulas:
LT1575CN8: T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
• 100°CW)
LT1575CS8: T
J
= T
A
+ (P

• 130°CW)
LT1577CS: T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
• 100°CW)
Because the LT1577 consists of two regulators in the package, the total
LT1577 power dissipation must be used for its junction temperature
calculation. The total LT1577 P
D
= P
D
(Regulator 1) + P
D
(Regulator 2).
Note 3: The V
GS(th)
of the external MOSFET must be greater than
3V – V
