GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The CM1582 is a high performance low dropout regulator
rated for 3A output current with fixed 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V/5.0V and
adjustable output. It is designed for use in applications
requiring low dropout characteristics over the rated current
range.
When the second low-current input voltage is applied, the
dropout voltage can be as low as 100mV at light loads and up
to 500mV at maximum output current. On chip trimming
adjusts the reference voltage to 1%. These features are ideal
for low voltage microprocessor applications requiring a
regulated 1.8V to 3.6V power supply.
In addition, the CM1582 provides the device protections
including over current and thermal shutdown. The CM1582
series are ideal to the next generation microprocessor on
motherboards where both 5V and 3.3V are available.
