Product Details
The LT3045-1 is a high performance low dropout linear regulator featuring LTC’s ultralow noise and ultrahigh PSRR architecture for powering noise sensitive applications. Designed as a precision current reference followed by a high performance voltage buffer, the LT3045-1 can be easily paralleled to further reduce noise, increase output current and spread heat on the PCB. In addition to the LT3045 feature set, the LT3045-1 incorporates a VIOC tracking function to control an upstream switching converter to maintain a constant voltage across the LT3045-1 and hence minimize power dissipation.
The device supplies 500mA at a typical 260mV dropout voltage. Operating quiescent current is nominally 2.3mA and drops to <<1μA in shutdown. The LT3045-1’s wide output voltage range (0V to 15V) while maintaining unity-gain operation provides virtually constant output noise, PSRR, bandwidth and load regulation, independent of the programmed output voltage. Additionally, the regulator features programmable current limit, fast start-up capability and programmable power good to indicate output voltage regulation.
The LT3045-1 is stable with a minimum 10μF ceramic output capacitor. Built-in protection includes reverse battery protection, reverse current protection, internal current limit with foldback and thermal limit with hysteresis. The LT3045-1 is available in thermally enhanced 12-Lead MSOP and 3mm × 3mm DFN packages.
