LT3021/LT3021-1.2/ LT3021-1.5/LT3021-1.8 500mA, Low Voltage, Very Low Dropout Linear Regulator FEATURES DESCRIPTION n V Range: 0.9V to 10V The LT 3021 is a very low dropout voltage (VLDO) lin- IN n Dropout Voltage: 155mV Typical ear regulator that operates from input supplies down to n Output Current: 500mA 0.9V. This device supplies 500mA of output current with n Adjustable Output (V = V = 200mV) a typical dropout voltage of 155mV. The LT3021 is ideal REF OUT(MIN) n Fixed Output Voltages: 1.2V, 1.5V, 1.8V for low input voltage to low output voltage applications, n Stable with Low ESR, Ceramic Output Capacitors providing comparable electrical efficiency to that of a (3.3F Minimum) switching regulator. n 0.2% Load Regulation from 1mA to 500mA The LT3021 regulator optimizes stability and transient n Quiescent Current: 110A (Typ) response with low ESR, ceramic output capacitors as small n 3A Typical Quiescent Current in Shutdown as 3.3F. Other LT3021 features include 0.05% typical line n Current Limit Protection regulation and 0.2% typical load regulation. In shutdown, n Reverse-Battery Protection quiescent current typically drops to 3A. n No Reverse Current n Internal protection circuitry includes reverse-battery pro- Thermal Limiting with Hysteresis n tection, current limiting, thermal limiting with hysteresis, 16-Pin DFN (5mm 5mm) and 8-Lead and reverse-current protection. The LT3021 is available as SO Packages an adjustable output device with an output range down to the 200mV reference. Three fixed output voltages, 1.2V, APPLICATIONS 1.5V and 1.8V, are also available. n Low Current Regulators The LT3021 regulator is available in the low profile n Battery-Powered Systems (0.75mm) 16-pin (5mm 5mm) DFN package with ex- n Cellular Phones posed pad and the 8-lead SO package. n Pagers All registered trademarks and trademarks are the property of their respective owners. n Wireless Modems TYPICAL APPLICATION Minimum Input Voltage 1.1 I = 500mA L 1.0 1.8V to 1.5V, 500mA VLDO Regulator 0.9 0.8 V OUT V IN 0.7 IN OUT 1.5V 1.8V 500mA 0.6 LT3021-1.5 3.3F 3.3F 0.5 SHDN SENSE 0.4 GND 0.3 3021 TA01 0.2 0.1 0 50 25 0 25 50 75 100 125 TEMPERATURE (C) 3021 TA02 Rev.D For more information www.analog.com 1 Document Feedback MINIMUM INPUT VOLTAGE (V)LT3021/LT3021-1.2/ LT3021-1.5/LT3021-1.8 (Note 1) ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS IN Pin Voltage ........................................................ 10V Operating Junction Temperature Range (E, I Grade) OUT Pin Voltage ......................................................10V (Notes 2, 3) ............................................40C to 125C Input-to-Output Differential Voltage ........................10V Storage Temperature Range ADJ/SENSE Pin Voltage ....................................... 10V DH .....................................................65C to 125C SHDN Pin Voltage ................................................. 10V S8 ......................................................65C to 150C Output Short-Circut Duration .........................
