FEATURES
DESCRIPTIO
■
The LT®1121/LT1121-3.3/LT1121-5 are micropower low
dropout regulators with shutdown. These devices are
capable of supplying 150mA of output current with a
dropout voltage of 0.4V. Designed for use in batterypowered systems, the low quiescent current, 30μA operating and 16μA in shutdown, makes them an ideal choice.
The quiescent current is well-controlled; it does not rise in
dropout as it does with many other low dropout PNP
regulators.

Other features of the LT1121/LT1121-3.3/LT1121-5 include the ability to operate with very small output capacitors. They are stable with only 0.33μF on the output while
most older devices require between 1μF and 100μF for
stability. Small ceramic capacitors can be used, enhancing
manufacturability. Also the input may be connected to
ground or a reverse voltage without reverse current flow
from output to input. This makes the LT1121 series ideal
for backup power situations where the output is held high
and the input is at ground or reversed. Under these
conditions only 16μA will flow from the output pin to
ground.

Note 2: The shutdown pin input voltage rating is required for a low
impedance source. Internal protection devices connected to the shutdown
pin will turn on and clamp the pin to approximately 7V or – 0.6V. This
range allows the use of 5V logic devices to drive the pin directly. For high
1121fe

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
impedance sources or logic running on supply voltages greater than 5.5V,
the maximum current driven into the shutdown pin must be limited to less
than 20mA.
Note 3: For junction temperatures greater than 110°C, a minimum load of
1mA is recommended. For TJ > 110°C and IOUT < 1mA, output voltage
may increase by 1%.
Note 4: Operating conditions are limited by maximum junction
temperature. The regulated output voltage specification will not apply for
all possible combinations of input voltage and output current. When
operating at maximum input voltage, the output current range must be
limited. When operating at maximum output current the input voltage
range must be limited.
Note 5: The LT1121 (adjustable version) is tested and specified with the
adjust pin connected to the output pin.
Note 6: Dropout voltage is the minimum input/output voltage required to
maintain regulation at the specified output current. In dropout the output
voltage will be equal to: (VIN – VDROPOUT).
Note 7: Ground pin current is tested with VIN = VOUT (nominal) and a
current source load. This means that the device is tested while operating in
its dropout region. This is the worst case ground pin current. The ground
pin current will decrease slightly at higher input voltages.
Note 8: Adjust pin bias current flows into the adjust pin.
Note 9: Shutdown pin current at VSHDN = 0V flows out of the shutdown pin.
Note 10: Quiescent current in shutdown is equal to the sum total of the
shutdown pin current (6μA) and the ground pin current (9μA).
Note 11: Reverse output current is tested with the input pin grounded and
the output pin forced to the rated output voltage. This current flows into
the output pin and out of the ground pin.

Input Pin: Power is supplied to the device through the
input pin. The input pin should be bypassed to ground if
the device is more than six inches away from the main
input filter capacitor. In general the output impedance of a
battery rises with frequency so it is usually adviseable to
include a bypass capacitor in battery-powered circuits. A
bypass capacitor in the range of 0.1μF to 1μF is sufficient.
The LT1121 is designed to withstand reverse voltages on
the input pin with respect to both ground and the output
pin. In the case of a reversed input, which can happen if a
battery is plugged in backwards, the LT1121 will act as if
there is a diode in series with its input. There will be no
reverse current flow into the LT1121 and no reverse
voltage will appear at the load. The device will protect both
itself and the load.
Output Pin: The output pin supplies power to the load. An
output capacitor is required to prevent oscillations. See
the Applications Information section for recommended
value of output capacitance and information on reverse
output characteristics.
Shutdown Pin: This pin is used to put the device into
shutdown. In shutdown the output of the device is turned
off. This pin is active low. The device will be shut down if
the shutdown pin is pulled low. The shutdown pin current
with the pin pulled to ground will be 6μA. The shutdown
pin is internally clamped to 7V and – 0.6V (one VBE). This
allows the shutdown pin to be driven directly by 5V logic
or by open collector logic with a pull-up resistor. The pullup resistor is only required to supply the leakage current
of the open collector gate, normally several microamperes. Pull-up current must be limited to a maximum of
20mA. A curve of shutdown pin input current as a function
of voltage appears in the Typical Performance Characteristics. If the shutdown pin is not used it can be left open
circuit. The device will be active, output on, if the shutdown
pin is not connected.
Adjust Pin: For the adjustable LT1121, the adjust pin is the
input to the error amplifier. This pin is internally clamped
to 6V and – 0.6V (one VBE). It has a bias current of 150nA
which flows into the pin. See Bias Current curve in the
Typical Performance Characteristics. The adjust pin reference voltage is 3.75V referenced to ground. The output
voltage range that can be produced by this device is 3.75V
to 30V.

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
The LT1121 is a micropower low dropout regulator with
shutdown, capable of supplying up to 150mA of output
current at a dropout voltage of 0.4V. The device operates
with very low quiescent current (30μA). In shutdown the
quiescent current drops to only 16μA. In addition to the
low quiescent current the LT1121 incorporates several
protection features which make it ideal for use in batterypowered systems. The device is protected against both
reverse input voltages and reverse output voltages. In
battery backup applications where the output can be held
up by a backup battery when the input is pulled to ground,
the LT1121 acts like it has a diode in series with its output
and prevents reverse current flow.
Adjustable Operation
The adjustable device is specified with the adjust pin tied
to the output pin. This sets the output voltage to 3.75V.
Specifications for output voltage greater than 3.75V will be
proportional to the ratio of the desired output voltage to
3.75V (VOUT/3.75V). For example: load regulation for an
output current change of 1mA to 150mA is –12mV typical
at VOUT = 3.75V. At VOUT = 12V, load regulation would be:
⎛ 12V ⎞
⎜
⎟ • –12mV = –38mV
⎝ 3.75V ⎠
(
) (
)
Thermal Considerations
The adjustable version of the LT1121 has an output
voltage range of 3.75V to 30V. The output voltage is set by
the ratio of two external resistors as shown in Figure 1. The
device servos the output voltage to maintain the voltage at
the adjust pin at 3.75V. The current in R1 is then equal to
3.75V/R1. The current in R2 is equal to the sum of the
current in R1 and the adjust pin bias current. The adjust pin
bias current, 150nA at 25°C, flows through R2 into the
adjust pin. The output voltage can be calculated according
to the formula in Figure 1. The value of R1 should be less
than 400k to minimize errors in the output voltage caused
by the adjust pin bias current. Note that in shutdown the
output is turned off and the divider current will be zero.
Curves of Adjust Pin Voltage vs Temperature and Adjust
Pin Bias Current vs Temperature appear in the Typical
Performance Characteristics. The reference voltage at the
adjust pin has a slight positive temperature coefficient of

Power handling capability will be limited by maximum
rated junction temperature (125°C). Power dissipated by
the device will be made up of two components:
1. Output current multiplied by the input/output voltage
differential: IOUT • (VIN – VOUT), and
2. Ground pin current multiplied by the input voltage:
IGND • VIN.
The ground pin current can be found by examining the
Ground Pin Current curves in the Typical Performance
Characteristics. Power dissipation will be equal to the sum
of the two components listed above.
The LT1121 series regulators have internal thermal limiting designed to protect the device during overload conditions. For continuous normal load conditions the maximum junction temperature rating of 125°C must not be
exceeded. It is important to give careful consideration to
all sources of thermal resistance from junction to ambient.
Additional heat sources mounted nearby must also be
considered.
Heat sinking, for surface mount devices, is accomplished
by using the heat spreading capabilities of the PC board
and its copper traces. Copper board stiffeners and plated
through holes can also be used to spread the heat generated by power devices. Tables 1 through 5 list thermal
resistances for each package. Measured values of thermal
resistance for several different board sizes and copper
areas are listed for each package. All measurements were

Output Capacitance and Transient Performance
The LT1121 is designed to be stable with a wide range of
output capacitors. The minimum recommended value is
1μF with an ESR of 3Ω or less. For applications where
space is very limited, capacitors as low as 0.33μF can be
used if combined with a small series resistor. Assuming

Protection Features
The LT1121 incorporates several protection features which
make it ideal for use in battery-powered circuits. In addition to the normal protection features associated with
monolithic regulators, such as current limiting and thermal limiting, the device is protected against reverse input
voltages, reverse output voltages, and reverse voltages
from output to input.
Current limit protection and thermal overload protection
are intended to protect the device against current overload
conditions at the output of the device. For normal operation, the junction temperature should not exceed 125°C.
The input of the device will withstand reverse voltages of
30V. Current flow into the device will be limited to less than
1mA (typically less than 100μA) and no negative voltage
will appear at the output. The device will protect both itself
and the load. This provides protection against batteries
that can be plugged in backwards.
For fixed voltage versions of the device, the output can be
pulled below ground without damaging the device. If the
input is open circuit or grounded the output can be pulled
below ground by 20V. The output will act like an open
circuit, no current will flow out of the pin. If the input is
powered by a voltage source, the output will source the
short-circuit current of the device and will protect itself by
thermal limiting. For the adjustable version of the device,
the output pin is internally clamped at one diode drop
below ground. Reverse current for the adjustable device
must be limited to 5mA.
In circuits where a backup battery is required, several
different input/output conditions can occur. The output
voltage may be held up while the input is either pulled to
ground, pulled to some intermediate voltage, or is left
open circuit. Current flow back into the output will vary
depending on the conditions. Many battery-powered circuits incorporate some form of power management. The
following information will help optimize battery life. Table
7 summarizes the following information.
The reverse output current will follow the curve in Figure
2 when the input pin is pulled to ground. This current flows
through the output pin to ground. The state of the shutdown pin will have no effect on output current when the
input pin is pulled to ground.
In some applications it may be necessary to leave the input
to the LT1121 unconnected when the output is held high.
This can happen when the LT1121 is powered from a
rectified AC source. If the AC source is removed, then the
input of the LT1121 is effectively left floating. The reverse
output current also follows the curve in Figure 2 if the input
pin is left open. The state of the shutdown pin will have no
effect on the reverse output current when the input pin is
floating.

OUTPUT PIN CURRENT (μA)
that the ESR of the capacitor is low (ceramic) the suggested series resistor is shown in Table 6. The LT1121 is
a micropower device and output transient response will be
a function of output capacitance. See the Transient Response curves in the Typical Performance Characteristics.
Larger values of output capacitance will decrease the peak
deviations and provide improved output transient response. Bypass capacitors, used to decouple individual
components powered by the LT1121, will increase the
effective value of the output capacitor.

INPUT CURRENT (μA)
When the input of the LT1121 is forced to a voltage below
its nominal output voltage and its output is held high, the
reverse output current will still follow the curve in Figure
2. This condition can occur if the input of the LT1121 is
connected to a discharged (low voltage) battery and the
output is held up by either a backup battery or by a second
regulator circuit. When the input pin is forced below the
output pin or the output pin is pulled above the input pin,
the input current will typically drop to less than 2μA (see
Figure 3). The state of the shutdown pin will have no effect
on the reverse output current when the output is pulled
above the input.
