APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The LT3007 is a low dropout linear regulator with ultra- and the divider current is zero. Curves of ADJ Pin Voltage vs low quiescent current and shutdown. Quiescent current is Temperature and ADJ Pin Bias Current vs Temperature appear extremely low at 3µA and drops well below 1µA in shut- in the Typical Performance Characteristics. down. The device supplies up to 20mA of output current. Specifications for output voltages greater than 0.6V are Dropout voltage at 20mA is typically 300mV. The LT3007 proportional to the ratio of the desired output voltage to incorporates several protection features, making it ideal for 0.6V: V use in battery-powered systems. The device protects itself OUT/0.6V. For example, load regulation for an output current change of 100µA to 20mA is –0.5mV typical at against both reverse-input and reverse-output voltages. V In battery backup applications, where a backup battery OUT = 0.6V. At VOUT = 5V, load regulation is: holds up the output when the input is pulled to ground, 5V •(−0.5mV)=−4.17mV the LT3007 acts as if a blocking diode is in series with its 0.6V output and prevents reverse current flow. In applications where the regulator load returns to a negative supply, the Table 1 shows resistor divider values for some common output can be pulled below ground by as much as 50V output voltages with a resistor divider current of about 1µA. without affecting start-up or normal operation.
