LT LT1573CS8-2.5#PBF

Overview

The LT1573CS8-2.5 is a regulator driver IC designed to provide a low cost solution for applications requiring high current, low dropout and fast transient response. When combined with an external PNP power transistor, this device provides load current up to 5A with dropout voltages as low as 0.35V. The LT1573CS8-2.5 circuitry is designed for extremely fast transient response. This greatly reduces bulk storage capacitance when the regulator is used in applications with fast, high current load transients.

The LT1573CS8-2.5 is available as an adjustable regulator with an output range of 1.27V to 6.8V and with fixed output voltages of 2.5V, 2.8V and 3.3V. Output accuracy is better than 1% to meet the critical regulation requirement of fast microprocessors. A special 8-pin, fused-lead surface mount package is used to minimize regulator footprint and provide adequate heat sinking.
