High Efficiency Linear Regulators
Post Regulators for Switching Supplies
Constant Current Regulators
Battery Chargers
The LT1083 series of positive adjustable regulators are
designed to provide 3A, 5A and 7.5A with higher efficiency
than currently available devices. All internal circuitry is
designed to operate down to 1V input to output differential
and the dropout voltage is fully specified as a function of
load current. Dropout is guaranteed at a maximum of 1.5V
at maximum output current, decreasing at lower load
currents. On-chip trimming adjusts the output voltage to
1%. Current limit is also trimmed, minimizing the stress
on both the regulator and power source circuitry under
overload conditions.
The 1083 series devices are pin compatible with older
three-terminal regulators. A 10µF output capacitor is
required on these new devices; however, this is usually
included in most regulator designs.

Unlike PNP regulators, where up to 10% of the output
current is wasted as quiescent current, the LT1083 quiescent current flows into the load, increasing efficiency.
*For a 1.5A low dropout regulator see the LT1086 data sheet.

Note 1: Although the devices maximum operating voltage is limited, (20V
for a 3V, 5V device, and 25V for a 12V device) the devices are guaranteed
to withstand transient input voltages up to 30V. For input voltages greater
than the maximum operating input voltage some degradation of
specifications will occur. For input/output voltage differentials greater than
15V, a minimum external load of 5mA is required to maintain regulation.

The ● denotes the specifications which apply over the full operating
temperature range.
Note 1: See thermal regulation specifications for changes in output voltage
due to heating effects. Load and line regulation are measured at a constant
junction temperature by low duty cycle pulse testing.
Note 2: Line and load regulation are guaranteed up to the maximum power
dissipation (60W for the LT1083, 45W for the LT1084 (K, P), 30W for the
LT1084 (T) and 30W for the LT1085). Power dissipation is determined by
the input/output differential and the output current. Guaranteed maximum
power dissipation will not be available over the full input/output range.
Note 3: IFULL LOAD is defined in the current limit curves. The IFULLLOAD
curve is defined as the minimum value of current limit as a function of

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The LT1083 family of three-terminal regulators are easy to
use and have all the protection features that are expected
in high performance voltage regulators. They are short
circuit protected, have safe area protection as well as
thermal shutdown to turn off the regulator should the
temperature exceed about 165°C.
These regulators offer lower dropout voltage and more
precise reference tolerance. Further, the reference stability with temperature is improved over older types of
regulators. The only circuit difference between using the
LT1083 family and older regulators is that they require an
output capacitor for stability.
Stability
The circuit design used in the LT1083 family requires the
use of an output capacitor as part of the device frequency
compensation. For all operating conditions, the addition of
150µF aluminum electrolytic or a 22µF solid tantalum on
the output will ensure stability. Normally capacitors much
smaller than this can be used with the LT1083. Many
different types of capacitors with widely varying charac-
teristics are available. These capacitors differ in capacitor
tolerance (sometimes ranging up to ±100%), equivalent
series resistance, and capacitance temperature coefficient. The 150µF or 22µF values given will ensure stability.
Normally, capacitor values on the order of 100µF are used
in the output of many regulators to ensure good transient
response with heavy load current changes. Output capacitance can be increased without limit and larger values of
output capacitance further improve stability and transient
response of the LT1083 regulators.
Another possible stability problem that can occur in monolithic IC regulators is current limit oscillations. These can
occur because in current limit the safe area protection
exhibits a negative impedance. The safe area protection
decreases the current limit as the input-to-output voltage
increases.That is the equivalent of having a negitive resistance since increasing voltage causes current to decrease.
Negitive resistance during current limit is not unique to the
LT1083 series and has been present on all power IC
regulators. The value of negative resistance is a function
of how fast the current limit is folded back as input-to-

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
output voltage increases. This negative resistance can
react with capacitors or inductors on the input to cause
oscillations during current limiting. Depending on the
value of series resistance, the overall circuitry may end up
unstable. Since this is a system problem, it is not necessarily easy to solve; however it does not cause any problems with the IC regulator and can usually be ignored.
voltage is rising, the input-to-output voltage differential
remains small allowing the regulator to supply large
output currents. With high input voltage a problem can
occur wherein removal of an output short will not allow the
output voltage to recover. Older regulators such as the
7800 series, also exhibited this phenomenon so it is not
unique to the LT1083.
Protection Diodes
The problem occurs with a heavy output load when the
input voltage is high and the output voltage is low, such as
immediately after a removal of a short. The load line for
such a load may intersect the output current curve at two
points. If this happens there are two stable output operating points for the regulator. With this double intersection
the power supply may need to be cycled down to zero and
brought up again to make the output recover.
In normal operation the LT1083 family does not need any
protection diodes, The internal diode between the input
and the output pins of the LT1083 family can handle
microsecond surge currents of 50A to 100A. Even with
large output capacitances it is very difficult to get those
values of surge current in normal operation. Only with high
value output capacitors, such as 1000µF to 5000µF and
with the input pin instantaneously shorted to ground, can
damage occur. A crowbar circuit at the input of the LT1083
can generate those kinds of currents and a diode from
output-to-input is then recommended. Normal power supply cycling or even plugging and unplugging in the system
will not generate currents large enough to do any damage.

Ripple Rejection
In applications that require improved ripple rejection the
LT1083 series adjustable regulators should be used. With
LT1083 series adjustable regulators the addition of a
bypass capacitor from the adjust pin to ground will reduce
output ripple by the ratio of VOUT/1.25V. See LT1083
series adjustable regulator data sheet.

Overload Recovery
Like any of the IC power regulators, the LT1083 has safe
area protection. The safe area protection decreases the
current limit as input-to-output voltage increases and
keeps the power transistor inside a safe operating region
for all values of input-to-output voltage. The LT1083
protection is designed to provide some output current at
all values of input-to-output voltage up to the device
breakdown.
When power is first turned on, as the input voltage rises,
the output follows the input, allowing the regulator to start
up into very heavy loads. During the start-up, as the input

Because the LT1083 is a three-terminal device, it is not
possible to provide true remote load sensing. Load regulation will not be limited by the resistance of the wire
connecting the regulator to the load. The data sheet
specification for the load regulation is measured at the
bottom of the package. Negative side sensing is a true
Kelvin connection, with the ground pin of the device
returned to the negative side of the load.
Thermal Considerations
The LT1083 series of regulators have internal power and
thermal limiting circuitry designed to protect the device
under overload conditions. For continuous normal load
conditions however, maximum junction temperature ratings must not be exceeded. It is important to give careful
consideration to all sources of thermal resistance from
junction to ambient. This includes junction-to-case, caseto-heat sink interface, and heat sink resistance itself. New

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
thermal resistance specifications have been developed to
more accurately reflect device temperature and ensure
safe operating temperatures. The data section for these
new regulators provides a separate thermal resistance and
maximum junction temperature for both the Control Section and the Power Section. Previous regulators, with a
single junction-to-case thermal resistance specification,
used an average of the two values provided here and
therefore could allow excessive junction temperatures
under certain conditions of ambient temperature and heat
sink resistance. To avoid this possibility, calculations
should be made for both sections to ensure that both
thermal limits are met.
For example, using a LT1083-5CK (TO-3, Commercial)
and assuming:
VIN(max continuous) = 9V, VOUT = 5V, IOUT = 6A,
TA = 75°C θHEAT SINK = 1°C/W,
θCASE-TO-HEAT SINK = 0.2°C/W for K package with
thermal compound.
Power dissipation under these conditions is equal to:
PD = (VIN – VOUT) (IOUT) = 24W
Junction temperature will be equal to:
TJ = TA + PD (θHEAT SINK + θCASE-TO-HEAT SINK + θJC)
For the Control Section:
TJ = 75°C + 24W (1°C/W + 0.2°C/W + 0.6°C/W) =
118°C
118°C < 125°C = TJMAX (Control Section Commercial Range)
For the Power Transistor:
TJ = 75°C + 24W (1°C/W + 0.2°C/W + 1.6°C/W) =
142°C
142°C < 150°C = TJMAX (Power Transistor Commercial Range)
In both cases the junction temperature is below the
maximum rating for the respective sections, ensuring
reliable operation.
Junction-to-case thermal resistance is specified from the
IC junction to the bottom of the case directly below the die.
This is the lowest resistance path for heat flow. Proper
mounting is required to ensure the best possible thermal
flow from this area of the package to the heat sink. Thermal
compound at the case-to-heat sink interface is strongly
recommended. If the case of the device must be electronically isolated, a thermally conductive spacer can be used
as long as its added contribution to thermal resistance is
considered. Note that the case of all devices in this series
is electronically connected to the ouput.
