LT1580CT#06PBF

Special Purpose Regulators Overview

The LT1580CT#06PBF is a 7A low dropout regulator designed for microprocessor power applications. It operates with an input voltage range up to 40V and provides an adjustable output voltage from 1.25V to 4.65V. The device features a typical dropout voltage of 100mV at light loads and 300mV at full load. It includes thermal shutdown, current limiting, and reverse battery protection. The component is housed in a TO-220-5 package.

Special Purpose Regulators Feature Summary

• Designed specifically to power next-generation microprocessors
• Provides very low dropout voltage characteristics under heavy load conditions
• Includes comprehensive protection mechanisms such as thermal shutdown and current limiting

Special Purpose Regulators Applications

• Microprocessor core voltage regulation

Special Purpose Regulators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix #06 against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm pinout and electrical specifications match your design requirements. Ensure the TO-220-5 package footprint aligns with your PCB layout. Confirm that the adjustable output range covers your target voltage needs before finalizing procurement.

Special Purpose Regulators Selection Notes

Select this component when high current delivery near 7A is required with minimal voltage drop between input and output. It is suitable for applications where input voltage varies significantly but stable processor supply is critical. Consider thermal management solutions due to power dissipation at high currents and differential voltages.
