FEATURES
DESCRIPTIO
■
The LT®3013B is a high voltage, micropower low dropout
linear regulator. The device is capable of supplying 250mA
of output current with a dropout voltage of 400mV. Designed for use in battery-powered or high voltage systems, the low quiescent current (65µA operating) makes
the LT3013B an ideal choice. Quiescent current is also well
controlled in dropout.

Automotive Applications
Other features of the LT3013B include a PWRGD flag to
indicate output regulation. The delay between regulated
output level and flag indication is programmable with a
single capacitor. The LT3013B also has the ability to
operate with very small output capacitors. The regulator is
stable with only 3.3µF on the output while most older
devices require between 10µF and 100µF for stability.
Small ceramic capacitors can be used without any need for
series resistance (ESR) as is common with other regulators. Internal protection circuitry includes reverse-battery
protection, current limiting, thermal limiting and reverse
current protection.
The device is available with an adjustable output with a
1.24V reference voltage. The LT3013B regulator is available in the thermally enhanced 16-lead TSSOP and the low
profile (0.75mm), 12 pin (4mm × 3mm) DFN package,
both providing excellent thermal characteristics.

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: The LT3013B is tested and specified for these conditions with the
ADJ pin connected to the OUT pin.
Note 3: 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 4: To satisfy requirements for minimum input voltage, the LT3013B
is tested and specified for these conditions with an external resistor divider
(249k bottom, 549k top) for an output voltage of 4V. The external resistor
divider will add a 5µA DC load on the output.
Note 5: Dropout voltage is the minimum input to output voltage differential
needed to maintain regulation at a specified output current. In dropout, the
output voltage will be equal to (VIN – VDROPOUT).

Note 6: GND pin current is tested with VIN = 4.5V and a current source
load. This means the device is tested while operating close to its dropout
region. This is the worst-case GND pin current. The GND pin current will
decrease slightly at higher input voltages.
Note 7: ADJ pin bias current flows into the ADJ pin.
Note 8: Reverse output current is tested with the IN pin grounded and the
OUT pin forced to the rated output voltage. This current flows into the OUT
pin and out the GND pin.
Note 9: The LT3013BE is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 125°C operating junction temperature. Specifications over
the –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by
design, characterization and correlation with statistical process controls.
Note 10: This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended to
protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is
active. Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating
junction temperature may impair device reliability.

(DFN Package)/(TSSOP Package)
OUT (Pins 2, 3)/(Pins 3, 4): Output. The output supplies
power to the load. A minimum output capacitor of 3.3µF is
required to prevent oscillations. Larger output capacitors
will be required for applications with large transient loads
to limit peak voltage transients. See the Applications
Information section for more information on output capacitance and reverse output characteristics.
ADJ (Pin 4)/(Pin 5): Adjust. This is the input to the error
amplifier. This pin is internally clamped to ±7V. It has a
bias current of 30nA which flows into the pin (see curve of
ADJ Pin Bias Current vs Temperature in the Typical Performance Characteristics). The ADJ pin voltage is 1.24V
referenced to ground, and the output voltage range is
1.24V to 60V.
GND (Pins 5, 13)/(Pins 1, 6, 8, 9, 16, 17): Ground. The
exposed backside of the package is an electrical connection for GND. As such, to ensure optimum device operation and thermal performance, the exposed pad must be
connected directly to pin 5/pin 6 on the PC board.
PWRGD (Pin 6)/(Pin 7): Power Good. The PWRGD flag is
an open collector flag to indicate that the output voltage
has come up to above 90% of the nominal output voltage.
There is no internal pull-up on this pin; a pull-up resistor
must be used. The PWRGD pin will change state from an
open-collector to high impedance after both the output is
above 90% of the nominal voltage and the capacitor on the
CT pin has charged through a 1V differential. The maximum pull-down current of the PWRGD pin in the low state
is 50µA.
CT (Pin 7)/(Pin 10): Timing Capacitor. The CT pin allows
the use of a small capacitor to delay the timing between the
point where the output crosses the PWRGD threshold and
the PWRGD flag changes to a high impedance state.
Current out of this pin during the charging phase is 3µA.
The voltage difference between the PWRGD low and
PWRGD high states is 1.6V (see the Applications Information Section).
IN (Pins 10, 11)/(Pins 13,14): Input. Power is supplied to
the device through the IN pin. A bypass capacitor is
required on this pin 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 advisable to include a bypass capacitor in batterypowered circuits. A bypass capacitor in the range of 1µF to
10µF is sufficient. The LT3013B is designed to withstand
reverse voltages on the IN pin with respect to ground and
the OUT pin. In the case of a reversed input, which can
happen if a battery is plugged in backwards, the LT3013B
will act as if there is a diode in series with its input. There
will be no reverse current flow into the LT3013B and no
reverse voltage will appear at the load. The device will
protect both itself and the load.
NC (Pins 1, 8, 9, 12)/(Pins 2, 11, 12, 15): No Connect. No
Connect pins may be floated, tied to IN or tied to GND.

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
The LT3013B is a 250mA high voltage low dropout regulator with micropower quiescent current. The device is
capable of supplying 250mA at a dropout voltage of
400mV. Operating quiescent current is only 65µA. In
addition to the low quiescent current, the LT3013B incorporates several protection features which make it ideal for
use in battery-powered systems. The device is protected
against both reverse input 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 LT3013B acts like it has a diode in series with its output
and prevents reverse current flow.
Adjustable Operation
The LT3013B has an output voltage range of 1.24V to
60V. The output voltage is set by the ratio of two external
resistors as shown in Figure 1. The device servos the
output to maintain the voltage at the adjust pin at 1.24V
referenced to ground. The current in R1 is then equal to
1.24V/R1 and the current in R2 is the current in R1 plus
the ADJ pin bias current. The ADJ pin bias current, 30nA
at 25°C, flows through R2 into the ADJ pin. The output
voltage can be calculated using the formula in Figure 1.
The value of R1 should be less than 250k to minimize
errors in the output voltage caused by the ADJ pin bias
current.
The adjustable device is tested and specified with the ADJ
pin tied to the OUT pin and a 5µA DC load (unless otherwise
specified) for an output voltage of 1.24V. Specifications

for output voltages greater than 1.24V will be proportional
to the ratio of the desired output voltage to 1.24V; (VOUT/
1.24V). For example, load regulation for an
output current change of 1mA to 250mA is –7mV typical
at VOUT = 1.24V. At VOUT = 12V, load regulation is:
(12V/1.24V) • (–7mV) = –68mV
Output Capacitance and Transient Response
The LT3013B is designed to be stable with a wide range of
output capacitors. The ESR of the output capacitor affects
stability, most notably with small capacitors. A minimum
output capacitor of 3.3µF with an ESR of 3Ω or less is
recommended to prevent oscillations. The LT3013B is a
micropower device and output transient response will be
a function of output capacitance. Larger values of output
capacitance decrease the peak deviations and provide
improved transient response for larger load current
changes. Bypass capacitors, used to decouple individual
components powered by the LT3013B, will increase the
effective output capacitor value.
Extra consideration must be given to the use of ceramic
capacitors. Ceramic capacitors are manufactured with a
variety of dielectrics, each with different behavior across
temperature and applied voltage. The most common dielectrics used are specified with EIA temperature characteristic codes of Z5U, Y5V, X5R and X7R. The Z5U and Y5V
dielectrics are good for providing high capacitances in a
small package, but they tend to have strong voltage and

When used with a 5V regulator, a 16V 10µF Y5V capacitor
can exhibit an effective value as low as 1µF to 2µF for the
DC bias voltage applied and over the operating temperature range. The X5R and X7R dielectrics result in more
stable characteristics and are more suitable for use as the
output capacitor. The X7R type has better stability across
temperature, while the X5R is less expensive and is
available in higher values. Care still must be exercised
when using X5R and X7R capacitors; the X5R and X7R

The PWRGD flag is used to indicate that the ADJ pin
voltage is within 10% of the regulated voltage. The PWRGD
pin is an open-collector output, capable of sinking 50µA of
current when the ADJ pin voltage is low. There is no
internal pull-up on the PWRGD pin; an external pull-up
resistor must be used. When the ADJ pin rises to within
10% of its final reference value, a delay timer is started. At
the end of this delay, programmed by the value of the
capacitor on the CT pin, the PWRGD pin switches to a high
impedance and is pulled up to a logic level by an external
pull-up resistor.
To calculate the capacitor value on the CT pin, use the
following formula:

Voltage and temperature coefficients are not the only
sources of problems. Some ceramic capacitors have a
piezoelectric response. A piezoelectric device generates
voltage across its terminals due to mechanical stress,
similar to the way a piezoelectric accelerometer or microphone works. For a ceramic capacitor the stress can be
induced by vibrations in the system or thermal transients.

codes only specify operating temperature range and maximum capacitance change over temperature. Capacitance
change due to DC bias with X5R and X7R capacitors is
better than Y5V and Z5U capacitors, but can still be
significant enough to drop capacitor values below appropriate levels. Capacitor DC bias characteristics tend to
improve as component case size increases, but expected
capacitance at operating voltage should be verified.

maximum junction temperature rating may impair the life
of the device.
During normal operation, an internal glitch filter will ignore
short transients (<15µs). Longer transients below the
90% threshold will reset the JK flip-flop. This flip-flop
ensures that the capacitor on the CT pin is quickly discharged all the way to the VCT(LOW) threshold before restarting the time delay. This provides a consistent time
delay after the ADJ pin is within 10% of the regulated
voltage before the PWRGD pin switches to high
impedance.
The power handling capability of the device will be limited
by the maximum rated junction temperature (125°C). The
power dissipated by the device will be made up of two
components:
Current Limit and Safe Operating Area Protection
Like many IC power regulators, the LT3013B has safe
operating area protection. The safe operating area protection decreases the current limit as the input voltage
increases and keeps the power transistor in a safe operating region. The protection is designed to provide some
output current at all values of input voltage up to the device
breakdown (see curve of Current Limit vs Input Voltage in
the Typical Performance Characteristics).
The LT3013B is limited for operating conditions by maximum junction temperature. While 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. Device specifications will
not apply for all possible combinations of input voltage
and output current. Operating the LT3013B beyond the
Thermal Considerations
1. Output current multiplied by the input/output voltage
differential: IOUT • (VIN – VOUT) and,
2. GND pin current multiplied by the input voltage:
IGND • VIN.
The GND pin current can be found by examining the GND
Pin Current curves in the Typical Performance Characteristics. Power dissipation will be equal to the sum of the two
components listed above.
The LT3013B series regulators have internal thermal limiting designed to protect the device during overload conditions. For continuous normal 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.
For surface mount devices, heat sinking 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.

The thermal resistance junction-to-case (θJC), measured
at the exposed pad on the back of the die, is 16°C/W.
Continuous operation at large input/output voltage differentials and maximum load current is not practical due to
thermal limitations. Transient operation at high input/
output differentials is possible. The approximate thermal
time constant for a 2500sq mm 3/32" FR-4 board with
maximum topside and backside area for one ounce copper
is 3 seconds. This time constant will increase as more
thermal mass is added (i.e. vias, larger board, and other
components).
For an application with transient high power peaks, average power dissipation can be used for junction temperature calculations as long as the pulse period is significantly
less than the thermal time constant of the device and
board.
Calculating Junction Temperature
Example 1: Given an output voltage of 5V, an input voltage
range of 8V to 12V, an output current range of 0mA to
The thermal resistance will be in the range of 40°C/W to
62°C/W depending on the copper area. So the junction
temperature rise above ambient will be approximately
equal to:
1.85W • 50°C/W = 92.3°C
The maximum junction temperature will then be equal to
the maximum junction temperature rise above ambient
plus the maximum ambient temperature or:
TJMAX = 30°C + 92.3°C = 122.3°C
Example 2: Given an output voltage of 5V, an input voltage
of 48V that rises to 72V for 5ms(max) out of every 100ms,
and a 5mA load that steps to 200mA for 50ms out of every
250ms, what is the junction temperature rise above ambient? Using a 500ms period (well under the time constant
of the board), power dissipation is as follows:
P1(48V in, 5mA load) = 5mA • (48V – 5V)
+ (200µA • 48V) = 0.23W
P2(48V in, 50mA load) = 200mA • (48V – 5V)
+ (8mA • 48V) = 8.98W
P3(72V in, 5mA load) = 5mA • (72V – 5V)
+ (200µA • 72V) = 0.35W
P4(72V in, 50mA load) = 200mA • (72V – 5V)
+ (8mA • 72V) = 13.98W

76% operation at P1, 19% for P2, 4% for P3, and
1% for P4.
PEFF = 76%(0.23W) + 19%(8.98W) + 4%(0.35W)
+ 1%(13.98W) = 2.03W
With a thermal resistance in the range of 40°C/W to
62°C/W, this translates to a junction temperature rise
above ambient of 81°C to 125°C.
Protection Features
The LT3013B 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, 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
80V. No negative voltage will appear at the output. The
device will protect both itself and the load. This provides
protection against batteries which can be plugged in
backward.
The ADJ pin of the device can be pulled above or below
ground by as much as 7V without damaging the device. If
the input is left open circuit or grounded, the ADJ pin will
act like an open circuit when pulled below ground, and like
a large resistor (typically 100k) in series with a diode when
pulled above ground. If the input is powered by a voltage
source, pulling the ADJ pin below the reference voltage
will cause the device to try and force the current limit
current out of the output. This will cause the output to go
to a unregulated high voltage. Pulling the ADJ pin above
the reference voltage will turn off all output current.
In situations where the ADJ pin is connected to a resistor
divider that would pull the ADJ pin above its 7V clamp
voltage if the output is pulled high, the ADJ pin input
current must be limited to less than 5mA. For example, a
resistor divider is used to provide a regulated 1.5V output
from the 1.24V reference when the output is forced to 60V.
The top resistor of the resistor divider must be chosen to
limit the current into the ADJ pin to less than 5mA when the
ADJ pin is at 7V. The 53V difference between the OUT and
ADJ pins divided by the 5mA maximum current into the
ADJ pin yields a minimum top resistor value of 10.6k.
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 follow
the curve shown in Figure 5. The rise in reverse output
current above 7V occurs from the breakdown of the 7V
clamp on the ADJ pin. With a resistor divider on the
regulator output, this current will be reduced depending
on the size of the resistor divider.
When the IN pin of the LT3013B is forced below the OUT
pin or the OUT pin is pulled above the IN pin, input current
will typically drop to less than 2µA. This can happen if the
input of the LT3013B is connected to a discharged (low
voltage) battery and the output is held up by either a
backup battery or a second regulator circuit.
