LT3021/LT3021-1.2/ LT3021-1.5/LT3021-1.8 PIN FUNCTIONS (DH Package/S8 Package)OUT (Pins 3, 4/Pin 2): These pins supply power to the load. drain logic, normally several microamperes, and the SHDN Use a minimum output capacitor of 3.3µF to prevent oscil- pin current, typically 2.5µA. If unused, connect the SHDN lations. Applications with large load transients require larger pin to VIN. The LT3021 does not function if the SHDN pin output capacitors to limit peak voltage transients. See the is not connected. Applications Information section for more information on IN (Pins 12, 14/Pin 8): These pins supply power to the output capacitance and reverse output characteristics. device. The LT3021 requires a bypass capacitor at IN if SENSE (Pin 7/Pin 3, Fixed Voltage Device Only): This pin it is more than six inches away from the main input filter is the sense point for the internal resistor divider. It should capacitor. The output impedance of a battery rises with be tied directly to the OUT pins for best results. frequency, so include a bypass capacitor in battery-pow- ADJ (Pin 7/Pin 3): This pin is the inverting terminal to the ered circuits. A bypass capacitor in the range of 3.3µF to error amplifier. Its typical input bias current of 20nA flows 10µF suffices. The LT3021 withstands reverse voltages out of the pin (see curve of ADJ Pin Bias Current vs Tem- on the IN pin with respect to ground and the OUT pin. In perature in the Typical Performance Characteristics). The the case of a reversed input, which occurs if a battery is ADJ pin reference voltage is 200mV (referred to GND). plugged in backwards, the LT3021 acts as if a diode is in series with its input. No reverse current flows into the AGND (Pin 8/Pin 4): Ground. LT3021 and no reverse voltage appears at the load. The PGND (Pins 10, 17/Pin 6): Ground. device protects itself and the load.
