The SPX1083 is a low power 8A Adjustable Voltage Regulator that is very easy to use.It requires only 2 external resistors to set the outputvoltage.  This device is an excellent choice when using Powering Intel Microprocessor to convert from +5V to 3.3V supplies,and as a post regulator for switching supplies applications.  The SPX1083 features low dropout of a maximum 1.5 volts. 

The SPX1083 offers full protection against over-current faults, reversed input polarity, reversed load insertion, over temperature operation, and positive and negative transient voltage.On-Chip trimming adjusts the reference voltage to 1%.The I_Q of this device flows into the load which increases efficiency. 

The SPX1083 is offered in a 3-pin TO-220 package compatible with older 3-terminal regulators.  For a 5A low dropout regulator refer to the SPX1083 datasheet.
