LT3080-1 Parallelable 1.1A Adjustable Single Resistor Low Dropout Regulator FeaTuresDescripTion n Internal Ballast Resistor Permits Direct The LT®3080-1 is a 1.1A low dropout linear regulator that Connection to Power Plane for Higher Current incorporates an internal ballast resistor to allow direct and Heat Spreading paralleling of devices without the need for PC board trace n Output Current: 1.1A resistors. The internal ballast resistor allows multiple de- n Single Resistor Programs Output Voltage vices to be paralleled directly on a surface mount board n 1% Initial Accuracy of SET Pin Current for higher output current and power dissipation while n Output Adjustable to 0V keeping board layout simple and easy. The device brings n Low Output Noise: 40µVRMS (10Hz to 100kHz) out the collector of the pass transistor to allow low dropout n Wide Input Voltage Range: 1.2V to 36V operation—down to 350mV—when used with multiple n Low Dropout Voltage: 350mV input supplies. n <0.001%/ V Line Regulation The LT3080-1 is capable of supplying a wide output volt- n Minimum Load Current: 0.5mA age range. A reference current through a single resistor n Stable with 2.2µF Minimum Ceramic Output Capacitor programs the output voltage to any level between zero n Current Limit with Foldback and Overtemperature and 36V. The LT3080-1 is stable with 2.2µF of ceramic Protected capacitance on the output, not requiring additional ESR n Available in 8-Lead MSOP and 3mm × 3mm DFN as is common with other regulators. applicaTions Internal protection includes current limiting and thermal limiting. The LT3080-1 regulator is offered in the 8-lead n High Current All Surface Mount Supply MSOP (with an Exposed Pad for better thermal charac- n High Efficiency Linear Regulator teristics) and 3mm × 3mm DFN packages. n Post Regulator for Switching Supplies L, LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology and the Linear logo are registered trademarks and VLDO and ThinSOT are trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.
