High Efficiency Linear Regulators
Post Regulators for Switching Supplies

The LT®1083 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 LT1083 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.

*For a 1.5A low dropout regulator see the LT1086 data sheet.
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.

*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.

Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2: 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 3: 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 4: 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
input to output voltage. Note that the 60W power dissipation for the
LT1083 (45W for the LT1084 (K, P), 30W for the LT1084 (T), 30W for the
LT1085) is only achievable over a limited range of input to output voltage.
Note 5: Dropout voltage is specified over the full output current range of
the device. Test points and limits are shown on the Dropout Voltage curve.
Note 6: For LT1083 IFULL LOAD is 5A for – 55°C ≤ TJ ≤ – 40°C and 7.5A for
TJ ≥ – 40°C.
Note 7: 1.7V ≤ (VIN – VOUT) ≤ 25V for LT1084 at – 55°C ≤ TJ ≤ – 40°C.
Note 8: Dropout voltage 1.7V maximum for LT1084 at
– 55°C ≤ TJ ≤ – 40°C.
Note 9: Full load current is not available at all input-output voltages.

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
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-tooutput 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-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.
up into very heavy loads. During the start-up, as the input
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
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,

case- to-heat sink interface, and heat sink resistance itself.
New 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.
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.
For example, using a LT1083-5CP (TO-3P, 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 P 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 + 0.5°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.
