PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The SPX1587 is a low power 3A adjustable and fixed voltage regulator that is very easy to use. It requires only 2 external resistors to

set the output voltage for adjustable version. The SPX1587 are designed for low voltage applications that offers lower dropout voltage

and faster transient response. This device is an excellent choice for use in powering low voltage microprocessor that require a lower

dropout, faster transient response to regulate from +2.5V to 3.8V supplies and as a post regulator for switching supplies applications.

The SPX1587 features low dropout of a maximum 1.2 volts.

The SPX1587 offers over current limit and full protection against reversed input polarity, reversed load insertion, and positive and

increases efficiency.

The SPX1587 are offered in a 3-pin TO-220, TO-263 & TO-252 packages compatible with other 3 terminal regulators. For a 5A low

dropout regulator refer to the SPX1585 data sheet.
