LT3080 Adjustable1.1A Single Resistor Low Dropout Regulator FEATURESDESCRIPTION n Outputs May Be Paralleled for Higher Current The LT®3080 is a 1.1A low dropout linear regulator that and Heat Spreading can be paralleled to increase output current or spread n Output Current: 1.1A heat in surface mounted boards. Architected as a preci- n Single Resistor Programs Output Voltage sion current source and voltage follower allows this new n 1% Initial Accuracy of SET Pin Current regulator to be used in many applications requiring high n Output Adjustable to 0V current, adjustability to zero, and no heat sink. Also the n Low Output Noise: 40µVRMS (10Hz to 100kHz) device brings out the collector of the pass transistor to n Wide Input Voltage Range: 1.2V to 36V allow low dropout operation —down to 350 millivolts— n Low Dropout Voltage: 350mV (Except when used with multiple supplies. SOT-223 Package) A key feature of the LT3080 is the capability to supply n <1mV Load Regulation a wide output voltage range. By using a reference cur- n <0.001%/V Line Regulation rent through a single resistor, the output voltage is pro- n Minimum Load Current: 0.5mA grammed to any level between zero and 36V. The LT3080 n Stable with 2.2µF Minimum Ceramic Output Capacitor is stable with 2.2µF of capacitance on the output, and n Current Limit with Foldback and Overtemperature the IC uses small ceramic capacitors that do not require Protected additional ESR as is common with other regulators. n Available in 8-Lead MSOP, 3mm × 3mm DFN, n 5-Lead DD-Pak, TO-220 and 3-Lead SOT-223 Internal protection circuitry includes current limiting and n AEC-Q100 Qualified for Automotive Applications thermal limiting. The LT3080 regulator is offered in the 8-lead MSOP (with an exposed pad for better thermal characteristics), a 3mm × 3mm DFN, 5-lead DD-Pak, APPLICATIONS TO-220 and a simple-to-use 3-lead SOT-223 version. n High Current All Surface Mount Supply All registered trademarks and trademarks are the property of their respective owners. n High Efficiency Linear Regulator n Post Regulator for Switching Supplies n Low Parts Count Variable Voltage Supply n Low Output Voltage Power Supplies TYPICAL APPLICATIONSet Pin Current DistributionVariable Output Voltage 1.1A Supply N = 13792 V IN LT3080 IN 1.2V TO 36V VCONTROL + 1µF – OUT VOUT SET 2.2µF RSET VOUT = RSET • 10µA 9.80 9.90 10.00 10.10 10.20 3080 TA01a SET PIN CURRENT DISTRIBUTION (µA) 3080 G02 Rev.
