LT3086 40V, 2.1A Low Dropout Adjustable Linear Regulator with Monitoring and Cable Drop Compensation FeaTuresDescripTion n Wide Input Voltage Range: 1.4V to 40V The LT®3086 is a multi-feature, low dropout, low noise n 1 Resistor Sets Output Voltage: 0.4V to 32V 2.1A linear regulator that operates over a 1.4V to 40V n Output Current: 2.1A input supply range. Dropout voltage at 2.1A is typically n ±2% Tolerance Over Line, Load and Temperature 330mV. One resistor sets output voltage from 0.4V to 32V. n Output Current Monitor: IMON = IOUT/1000 Output voltage tolerance is guaranteed to ±2% over line, n Temperature Monitor with Programmable load and temperature. The LT3086 is stable with ceramic Thermal Limit output capacitors, requiring a minimum of 10µF. n Programmable Cable Drop Compensation The LT3086’s programmable cable drop compensation n Parallel Multiple Devices for Higher Current cancels output voltage errors caused by resistive connec- n Dropout Voltage: 330mV tions to the load. A master/slave configuration allows paral- n 1 Capacitor Soft-Starts Output and Decreases Noise leling of multiple devices for higher load current and heat n Low Output Noise: 40µVRMS (10Hz to 100kHz) spreading without external ballast resistor requirements. n Precision, Programmable External Current Limit n Power Good Flag with Programmable Threshold Output current and temperature monitoring along with n Ceramic Output Capacitors: 10µF Minimum a power good flag provide system diagnostic and debug n Quiescent Current in Shutdown: <1µA capability. Internal fault circuitry includes thermal shutdown n Reverse-Battery, -Current and -Output Protection and current limit with foldback.
