LT1963A Series 1.5A, Low Noise, Fast Transient Response LDO Regulators Fea T Descrip T n Optimized for Fast Transient Response The LT 1963A series are low dropout regulators optimized n Output Current: 1.5A for fast transient response. The devices are capable of n Dropout Voltage: 340mV supplying 1.5A of output current with a dropout voltage of n Low Noise: 40V (10Hz to 100kHz) RMS 340mV. Operating quiescent current is 1mA, dropping to n 1mA Quiescent Current <1A in shutdown. Quiescent current is well controlled it n No Protection Diodes Needed does not rise in dropout as it does with many other regula- n Controlled Quiescent Current in Dropout tors. In addition to fast transient response, the LT1963A n Fixed Output Voltages: 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V regulators have very low output noise which makes them n Adjustable Output from 1.21V to 20V ideal for sensitive RF supply applications. n <1A Quiescent Current in Shutdown Output voltage range is from 1.21V to 20V. The LT1963A n Stable with 10F Output Capacitor* regulators are stable with output capacitors as low as n Stable with Ceramic Capacitors* 10F. Internal protection circuitry includes reverse bat- n Reverse Battery Protection tery protection, current limiting, thermal limiting and n No Reverse Current reverse current protection. The devices are available in n Thermal Limiting fixed output voltages of 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V and as n 5-Lead TO-220, DD, 3-Lead SOT-223 and an adjustable device with a 1.21V reference voltage. The 8-Lead SO Packages LT1963A regulators are available in 5-lead TO-220, DD, 3-lead SOT-223, 8-lead SO and 16-lead TSSOP packages.
