LX8586-33

The LX8586/86A series ICs are low dropout three-terminal regulators with a minimum of 6A output current. Pentium^® Processor, Power PC^TM, Cyrix^® 6x86TM and AMD-K5^TM applications requiring fast transient response are ideally suited for this product family. The LX8586A is guaranteed to have < 1.1V at 6A and the LX8586 < 1.3V at 6A dropout voltage, making them ideal to provide well-regulated outputs of 2.5V to 3.6V using a 5V input supply. Fixed versions are also available and specified in the Available Options table below.

Current limit is trimmed above 6.1A to ensure adequate output current and controlled short-circuit current. On-chip thermal limiting provides protection against any combination of overload that would create excessive junction temperatures.

The LX8586/86A series devices are available in both through-hole versions of the industry-standard, 3-pin TO-220  and TO-247 power packages.

Along with the standard P supply applications, the LX8586 series of products are ideal for Pentium^® Prom  Processor applications such as GTL+ Bus terminators (see application below).
