The SPX29150/51/52/53 are 1.5A, highly accurate voltage regulators with a low dropout voltage of 390mV (typical) at 1.5A. These regulators are specifically designed for low voltage applications that require a low dropout voltage and a fast transient response. They are fully fault protected against overcurrent, reverse battery and positive and negative voltage transients. On-chip trimming adjusts the reference voltage to 1% initial accuracy. Other features in the 5-pin versions include enable and error flags.

The SPX29150/51/52/53 is offered in 3-pin and 5-pin TO-220 and TO-263 packages. For a 3A version, refer to the SPX29300 datasheet.

  • 1% output accuracy
  • Output current of 1.5A
  • Low dropout voltage of 390mV @ 1.5A
  • Extremely tight load and line regulation
  • Extremely fast transient response
  • Reverse-battery protection
  • Zero current shutdown (5-pin version)
  • Error flag signal output for out of regulation state (5-pin version)

Distribution Date Description File
07/17/2023 In 2023, MaxLinear will be converting all shipping labels for the parts noted from an EXAR format to MaxLinear’s label. During this transition customers may receive either label. This change affects only shipping and packing labels. This change will not affect the part number, part marking, manufacturing process or manufacturing sites. Only work in progress material will be converted. Existing inventory from MaxLinear’s warehouse, channel sales, distributor, and such, will not be converted. Hence, customers may experience receiving mixed shipments with both Exar and MaxLinear labels for some period until existing inventory of old labels is eventually cleared out. Situation is product to product with no predictable way to determine when all old labels will be exhausted. No change to product form, fit, function and reliability. ADDENDUM A: Fixed MBB label logo for DX204001 to MaxLinear logo. ADDENDUM B: Replaced ‘All other affected products outer box label’ with clearer pictures. Corrected Date Issued (from original PCN) issue date +90 days to August 30, 2023.

The output capacitor should be a minimum of 10uF for stable operation. Input capacitor should be 6.8uF minimum. There are no actual limitations for output capacitor value. Increasing output capacitance will help to improve transient response. If transient response is not much of a concern, then the 10uF output capacitor would be fine. If your application requires a better transient response then the output capacitance value could range from 47uF up to 470uF. It is basically up to the end user to determine largest output capacitance value for application based on bench test results and expectations.
