LT3013B 250mA, 4V to 80V Low Dropout Micropower Linear Regulator with PWRGD FEATURESDESCRIPTION n Wide Input Voltage Range: 4V to 80V The LT®3013B is a high voltage, micropower low dropout n Low Quiescent Current: 65μA linear regulator. The device is capable of supplying 250mA n Low Dropout Voltage: 400mV of output current with a dropout voltage of 400mV. De- n Output Current: 250mA signed for use in battery-powered or high voltage systems, n No Protection Diodes Needed the low quiescent current (65μA operating) makes the n Adjustable Output from 1.24V to 60V LT3013B an ideal choice. Quiescent current is also well n Stable with 3.3μF Output Capacitor controlled in dropout. n Stable with Aluminum, Tantalum or Ceramic Other features of the LT3013B include a PWRGD fl ag to Capacitors indicate output regulation. The delay between regulated n Reverse-Battery Protection output level and fl ag indication is programmable with n No Reverse Current Flow from Output to Input a single capacitor. The LT3013B also has the ability to n Thermal Limiting operate with very small output capacitors. The regulator n Thermally Enhanced 16-Lead TSSOP and 12-Pin is stable with only 3.3μF on the output while most older (4mm × 3mm) DFN Package devices require between 10μF and 100μF for stability. Small ceramic capacitors can be used without any need for series resistance (ESR) as is common with other APPLICATIONS regulators. Internal protection circuitry includes reverse- n Low Current High Voltage Regulators battery protection, current limiting, thermal limiting and n Regulator for Battery-Powered Systems reverse-current protection. n Telecom Applications The device is available with an adjustable output with a n Automotive Applications 1.24V reference voltage.
