EZ1587CM-2.5TRT

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Overview

The EZ1587CM-2.5TRT is a fixed positive linear voltage regulator manufactured by Semtech Corporation, designed for high-current applications requiring stable output voltages. This specific variant provides a fixed output of 2.5V with a maximum continuous load current capability of 3.0A. The device is housed in a TO-263 surface-mount package, which facilitates efficient thermal dissipation through the exposed metal tab. It operates as a low-dropout regulator (LDO), ensuring reliable performance even when the input-to-output voltage differential is minimal. The component is RoHS compliant and intended for use in systems demanding precise power regulation under varying load conditions.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix TRT corresponds to the tape-and-reel packaging format required for automated assembly processes. Confirm that the fixed 2.5V output specification aligns precisely with the target system's voltage requirements, as this variant does not offer adjustable output options. Ensure that the thermal design of the host PCB adequately supports the heat dissipation needs associated with the TO-263 package under maximum load conditions.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 2.5V output is mandatory and high current capacity is required without the complexity of switching regulators. Consider the TO-263 package for its balance of current handling and thermal performance in space-constrained designs. Evaluate the dropout voltage requirements relative to the minimum available input voltage to ensure proper regulation under all operating conditions.
