FEATURES
L1581 Series
TO-252
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The L1581 is a positive and very low dropout voltage regulator with 5A output current capability. When supplying 2.5V or 2.8V on Motherboards or VGA Card where both 5V and 3.3V supplies are available, the superior dropout characteristics of the L1581 result in reduced heat dissipation compared to regular LDOs, thus allowing heat sink reduction. The adjustable version requires only two external resistors to set the output. The L1581 features a low dropout of less than 600mV and offers fast transient response, remote sense, internal limiting, thermal shutdown and safe operating area protection of the output device. The L1581 is a five terminal adjustable voltage regulator available in the popular 5 pin TO-252 packages.

NOTES :
(1) If the same voltage is input to both INPUT and CONTROL, then the dropout voltage will become 1.3V maximum. (2) A small (~0.033uF) capacitor can be used to bypass the ADJUST pin to improve transient response, if needed.
(3) Capacitor values are for reference only. Good quality, low ESR tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors
should be used. Increasing the value of the output capacitor will improve the overall transient response.

DESCRIPTION This pin is the positive side of the reference voltage for the device. With this pin it is possible to Kelvin sense the output voltage at the load. This pin is the negative side of the reference voltage for the device. Transient response can be improved by adding a small bypass capacitor from the adj.
