The LT®3063 is a micropower, low dropout (LDO) linear
regulator that operates over a 1.6V to 45V supply range.
The device supplies 200mA of output current with a typical dropout voltage of 300mV. A single external capacitor
provides programmable low noise reference performance
and output soft-start functionality. The LT3063’s quiescent
current is merely 45μA and provides fast transient response
with a minimum 3.3μF output capacitor. In shutdown,
quiescent current is less than 3μA and the reference soft
start capacitor is reset.
The LT3063 features an NMOS pull-down that discharges
the output if SHDN or IN is driven low.
Internal protection circuitry includes reverse-battery protection, reverse-current protection, current limit with foldback
and thermal shutdown.
The LT3063 is available as an adjustable device with an
output voltage range from the 600mV reference up to 19V.
The LT3063 is offered in the thermally enhanced 8-lead
2mm × 3mm DFN and MSOP packages.

LT3063
Electrical 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: Absolute maximum input to output differential voltage is not
achievable with all combinations of rated IN pin and OUT pin voltages.
With the IN pin at 50V, the OUT pin may not be pulled below 0V. The total
measured voltage from IN to OUT must not exceed ±50V.
Note 3: The LT3063 is tested and specified under pulse load conditions
such that TJ ≅ TA. The LT3063E regulators are 100% tested at TA = 25°C
and performance is guaranteed from 0°C to 125°C. Performance at
–40°C to 125°C is assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls. The LT3063I regulators are guaranteed
over the full –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range. The
LT3063MP regulators are 100% tested over the –55°C to 150°C operating
junction temperature. The LT3063H regulators are 100% tested at the
150°C operating junction temperature. High junction temperatures degrade
operating lifetimes. Operating lifetime is derated at junction temperature
greater than 125°C.
Note 4: The LT3063 is tested and specified for these conditions with the
ADJ connected to the OUT pin.
Note 5: Maximum junction temperature limits operating conditions. The
regulated output voltage specification does not apply for all possible
combinations of input voltage and output current. Limit the output current
range if operating at the maximum input voltage. Limit the input-to-output
voltage differential if operating at maximum output current. Current limit
foldback limits the maximum output current as a function of input-tooutput voltage. See Current Limit vs VIN – VOUT in the Typical Performance
Characteristics section.
4
Note 6: To satisfy minimum input voltage requirements, the LT3063 is
tested and specified for these conditions with an external resistor divider
(bottom 60k, top 230k) for an output voltage of 2.9V. The external resistor
divider adds 10µA of DC load on the output. The external current is not
factored into GND pin current.
Note 7: Dropout voltage is the minimum input-to-output voltage
differential needed to maintain regulation at a specified output current. In
dropout, the output voltage equals: (VIN – VDROPOUT).
Note 8: GND pin current is tested with VIN = VOUT(NOMINAL) + 0.6V and a
current source load. GND pin current will increase in dropout. See GND pin
current curves in the Typical Performance Characteristics section.
Note 9: ADJ pin bias current flows out of the ADJ pin.
Note 10: SHDN pin current flows into the SHDN pin.
Note 11: To satisfy requirements for minimum input voltage, current limit
is tested at VIN = VOUT(NOMINAL) + 1V or VIN = 2.1V, whichever is greater.
Note 12: This IC includes thermal limit which protects the device during
momentary overload conditions. Junction temperature exceeds 125°C
(LT3063E, LT3063I) or 150°C (LT3063MP, LT3063H) when thermal limit
is active. Continuous operation above the specified maximum junction
temperature may impair device reliability.

LT3063
Pin Functions
REF/BYP (Pin 1): Reference/ Bypass. Connecting a single
capacitor from this pin to GND bypasses the LT3063’s
reference noise and soft-starts the reference. A 10nF bypass capacitor typically reduces output voltage noise to
30μVRMS in a 10Hz to 100kHz bandwidth. Soft-start time
is directly proportional to the REF/BYP capacitor value.
If the LT3063 is placed in shutdown, REF/BYP is actively
pulled low by an internal device to reset soft-start. If low
noise or soft-start performance is not required, this pin
must be left floating (unconnected). Do not drive this pin
with any active circuitry.
ADJ (Pin 2): Adjust. This pin is the error amplifier’s inverting terminal. Its typical bias current of 15nA flows out of
the pin (see curve of ADJ Pin Bias Current vs Temperature
in the Typical performance Characteristics section). The
ADJ pin voltage is 600mV referenced to GND.
OUT (Pins 3, 4): Output. These pins supply power to the
load. A minimum output capacitor of 3.3µF is required
to prevent oscillations. Large load transient applications
require larger output capacitors to limit peak voltage
transients. See the Applications Information section for
more information on reverse output characteristics. The
output voltage range is 600mV to 19V. If the LT3063 is
placed in shutdown, OUT is actively discharged by an
internal NMOS device. Gate drive is controlled to insure
that a 10μF capacitor is discharged 90% in 2mS or less.
If IN is driven low, OUT is actively discharged to ~800mV.
For OUT voltages greater than 6V, current limit foldback is
implemented to protect the NMOS device and discharge
rates increase. See the Applications Information section
for more information.
10
IN (Pins 5, 6): Input. These pins supply power to the
device. The LT3063 requires a bypass capacitor at IN if
the device is located more than six inches 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 battery-powered circuits. A bypass
capacitor in the range of 1µF to 10µF suffices. See Input
Capacitance and Stability in the Application Information
section for more information.
The LT3063 withstands reverse voltages on the IN pin
with respect to the GND and OUT pins. In a reversed input
situation, such as the battery plugged in backwards, the
LT3063 behaves as if a large value resistor is in series with
its input. Limited reverse current flows into the LT3063
and no reverse voltage appears at the load. The device
protects itself and the load.
SHDN (Pin 7): Shutdown. Pulling the SHDN pin low puts
the LT3063 into a low power state and turns the output
off. Drive the SHDN pin with either logic or an open collector/drain with a pull-up resistor. The resistor supplies the
pull-up current to the open collector/drain logic, normally
several microamperes, and the SHDN pin current, typically less than 3µA. If unused, connect the SHDN pin to
VIN. The LT3063 does not function if the SHDN pin is not
connected. The SHDN pin cannot be driven below GND
unless tied to the IN pin. If the SHDN pin is driven below
GND while IN is powered, the output will turn on. SHDN
pin logic cannot be referenced to a negative rail.
GND (Pin 8, Exposed Pad Pin 9): Ground. Connect the
bottom of the external resistor divider that sets the output
voltage directly to GND for optimum regulation. Tie the
exposed pad Pin 9 directly to Pin 8 and the PCB ground.
This exposed pad provides enhanced thermal performance
with its connection to the PCB ground. See the Applications Information section for thermal considerations and
calculating junction temperature.

Applications Information
The LT3063 is a 200mA low dropout regulator with
shutdown. The device is capable of supplying 200mA at
a typical dropout voltage of 300mV and operates over a
1.6V to 45V input range.
shutdown because the output is turned off and the divider
current is zero. Curves of ADJ Pin Voltage vs Temperature
and ADJ Pin Bias Current vs Temperature appear in the
Typical Performance Characteristics.
A single external capacitor provides programmable low
noise reference performance and output soft-start functionality. For example, connecting a 10nF capacitor from
the REF/BYP pin to GND lowers output noise to 30µVRMS
over a 10Hz to 100kHz bandwidth. This capacitor also
soft-starts the reference and prevents output voltage
overshoot at turn-on.
The LT3063’s quiescent current is merely 45μA, while
providing fast transient response with a 3.3µF minimum
low ESR ceramic output capacitor. In shutdown, quiescent current is less than 3μA and the reference soft-start
capacitor and output are reset.
The LT3063 optimizes stability and transient response
with low ESR, ceramic output capacitors. The LT3063
does not require the addition of ESR as is common with
other regulators. The LT3063 has an adjustable output
and typically provides 0.1% line regulation and 0.1%
load regulation. A curve of load regulation appears in the
Typical Performance Characteristics section.
The LT3063 discharges the output in shutdown. Internal
protection circuitry includes reverse-battery protection,
reverse-current protection, current limit with foldback
and thermal shutdown.
Adjustable Operation
The LT3063 has an output voltage range of 0.6V to 19V.
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 ADJ pin voltage at 0.6V referenced to ground.
The current in R1 is then equal to 0.6V/R1 and the current
in R2 is the current in R1 plus the ADJ pin bias current.
The ADJ pin bias current, 15nA at 25ºC, flows through R2
into the ADJ pin. Calculate the output voltage using the
formula in Figure 1. The value of R1 should be no greater
than 61.9k to provide a minimum 10µA load current for
stability. The divider does not add to quiescent current in

Applications Information
Bypass Capacitance, Output Voltage Noise and
Transient Response
Higher values of output voltage noise may be measured
if care is not exercised with regard to circuit layout and
testing. Crosstalk from nearby traces can induce unwanted
noise onto the LT3063’s output. Power supply ripple rejection must also be considered. The LT3063 regulator does
not have unlimited power supply rejection and will pass
a small portion of the input noise through to the output.
Using a feedforward capacitor (CFF) from VOUT to the ADJ
pin has the added benefit of improving transient response
for output voltages greater than 0.6V. With no feedforward
capacitor, the settling time will increase as the output
voltage is raised above 0.6V. Use the equation in Figure 2
to determine the minimum value of CFF to achieve a
transient response that is similar to 0.6V output voltage
performance regardless of the chosen output voltage (see
Figure 3 and Transient Response in the Typical Performance
Characteristics section).

To lower the output voltage noise for higher output voltages, include a feedforward capacitor (CFF) from VOUT
to the ADJ pin. A good quality, low leakage capacitor is
recommended. This capacitor bypasses the error amplifier
of the regulator, providing a low frequency noise pole. With
the use of 10nF for both CFF and CREF/BYP, output voltage
noise decreases to 30µVRMS when the output voltage is
set to 5V by a 10µA feedback resistor divider. If the current in the feedback resistor divider is doubled, CFF must
also be doubled to achieve equivalent noise performance.

The LT3063 regulator provides low output voltage noise
over the 10Hz to 100kHz bandwidth while operating at full
load with the addition of a bypass capacitor (CREF/BYP)
from the REF/BYP pin to GND. A good quality low leakage capacitor is recommended. This capacitor bypasses
the reference of the regulator, providing a low frequency
noise pole for the internal reference. With the use of 10nF
for CREF/BYP, the output voltage noise decreases to as
low as 30µVRMS when the output voltage is set for 0.6V.
For higher output voltages (generated by using a resistor
divider), the output voltage noise gains up accordingly
when using CREF/BYP by itself.

Figure 3. Transient Response vs Feedforward Capacitor
During start-up, the internal reference soft-starts if a reference bypass capacitor is present. Regulator startup time
is directly proportional to the size of the bypass capacitor,
slowing to 6ms with a 10nF bypass capacitor (See SHDN
Transient Response vs REF/BYP Capacitor in the Typical
Performance Characteristics section). The reference bypass capacitor is actively pulled low during shutdown to
reset the internal reference.
Start-up time is also affected by the use of a feedforward
capacitor. Start-up time is directly proportional to the size
of the feedforward capacitor and output voltage, and is
inversely proportional to the feedback resistor divider current, slowing to 15ms with a 10nF feedforward capacitor
and a 10µF output capacitor for an output voltage set to
5V by a 10µA feedback resistor divider.
Output Capacitance
The LT3063 regulator is stable with a wide range of output
capacitors. The ESR of the output capacitor affects stability, most notably with small capacitors. Use a minimum
output capacitor of 3.3µF with an ESR of 3Ω or less to
prevent oscillations. The LT3063 is a micropower device

Applications Information
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.
The resulting voltages produced can cause appreciable
amounts of noise. A ceramic capacitor produced the trace

Give extra consideration to the use of ceramic capacitors.
Manufacturers make ceramic capacitors with a variety of
dielectrics, each with different behavior across temperature and applied voltage. The most common dielectrics
are specified with EIA temperature characteristic codes
of Z5U, Y5V, X5R and X7R. The Z5U and Y5V dielectrics
provide high C-V products in a small package at low cost,
but exhibit strong voltage and temperature coefficients as
shown in Figures 4 and 5. 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 yield much more stable characteristics and are
more suitable for use as the output capacitor. The X7R
type works over a wider temperature range and has better
temperature stability, 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 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.

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

For applications with large load current transients, a low

LT3063
Applications Information
Input Capacitance and Stability
Low ESR, ceramic input bypass capacitors are acceptable
for applications without long input leads. However, applications connecting a power supply to an LT3063 circuit’s
IN and GND pins with long input wires combined with a
low ESR, ceramic input capacitor are prone to voltage
spikes, reliability concerns and application-specific board
oscillations.
The input wire inductance found in many battery-powered
applications, combined with the low ESR ceramic input
capacitor, forms a high Q LC resonant tank circuit. In
some instances this resonant frequency beats against the
output current dependent LDO bandwidth and interferes
with proper operation. Simple circuit modifications/solutions are then required. This behavior is not indicative of
LT3063 instability, but is a common ceramic input bypass
capacitor application issue.
The self-inductance, or isolated inductance, of a wire is
directly proportional to its length. Wire diameter is not a
major factor on its self-inductance. For example, the selfinductance of a 2-AWG isolated wire (diameter = 0.26") is
about half the self-inductance of a 30-AWG wire (diameter
= 0.01"). One foot of 30-AWG wire has approximately
465nH of self-inductance.
Two methods can reduce wire self-inductance. One method
divides the current flowing towards the LT3063 between
two parallel conductors. In this case, the farther apart the
wires are from each other, the more the self-inductance is
reduced; up to a 50% reduction when placed a few inches
apart. Splitting the wires connects two equal inductors in
parallel, but placing them in close proximity creates mutual
inductance adding to the self-inductance. The second and
most effective way to reduce overall inductance is to place
both forward and return current conductors (the input
and GND wires) in very close proximity. Two 30-AWG
wires separated by only 0.02”, used as forward and return
current conductors, reduce the overall self-inductance
to approximately one-fifth that of a single isolated wire.
If a battery, mounted in close proximity, powers the LT3063,
a 1µF input capacitor suffices for stability. However, if a
14
distant supply powers the LT3063, use a larger value input
capacitor. Use a rough guideline of 1µF (in addition to the
1µF minimum) per 8 inches of wire length. The minimum
input capacitance needed to stabilize the application also
varies with power supply output impedance variations.
Placing additional capacitance on the LT3063’s output
also helps. However, this requires an order of magnitude
more capacitance in comparison with additional LT3063
input bypassing. Series resistance between the supply
and the LT3063 input also helps stabilize the application; as little as 0.1Ω to 0.5Ω suffices. This impedance
dampens the LC tank circuit at the expense of dropout
voltage. A better alternative is to use higher ESR tantalum
or electrolytic capacitors at the LT3063 input in place of
ceramic capacitors.
Overload Recovery
Like many IC power regulators, the LT3063 has safe operating area protection. The safe area protection decreases
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 protective design
provides some output current at all values of input-tooutput voltage up to the device breakdown.
When power is first applied, as input voltage rises, the
output follows the input, allowing the regulator to start up
into very heavy loads. During start-up, as the input voltage
is rising, the input-to-output voltage differential is small,
allowing the regulator to supply large output currents. With
a high input voltage, a problem can occur wherein removal
of an output short will not allow the output to recover.
The problem occurs with a heavy output load when the
input voltage is high and the output voltage is low. Common situations include immediately after the removal of a
short-circuit or if the shutdown pin is pulled high after the
input voltage has already been turned on. 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 input power supply may need to be cycled down to
zero and brought up again to make the output recover.

Thermal Considerations
The power handling capability of the device will be limited
by the maximum rated junction temperature (125°C for
LT3063E, LT3063I or 150°C for LT3063MP, LT3063H). Two
components comprise the power dissipated by the device:
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
GND pin current is determined using the GND Pin Current
curves in the Typical Performance Characteristics section.
Power dissipation equals the sum of the two components
listed above.
The LT3063 regulator has internal thermal limiting that protects the device during overload conditions. For continuous
normal conditions, the maximum junction temperature of
125°C (E-grade, I-grade) or 150°C (MP-grade, H-grade)
must not be exceeded. Carefully consider all sources of
thermal resistance from junction to ambient including
other heat sources mounted in proximity to the LT3063.
The undersides of the LT3063 packages have exposed metal
from the lead frame to the die attachment. The package
allows heat to directly transfer from the die junction to the
printed circuit board metal to control maximum operating
junction temperature. The dual-in-line pin arrangement
allows metal to extend beyond the ends of the package
on the topside (component side) of a PCB. Connect this
metal to GND on the PCB. The multiple IN and OUT pins
of the LT3063 also assist in spreading heat to the PCB.
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 following tables list thermal resistance for several
different board sizes and copper areas. All measurements
were taken in still air on a 4 layer FR-4 board with 1oz
solid internal planes and 2oz top/bottom external trace
planes with a total board thickness of 1.6mm. The four
layers were electrically isolated with no thermal vias
present. PCB layers, copper weight, board layout and
thermal vias will affect the resultant thermal resistance.
For more information on thermal resistance and high
thermal conductivity test boards, refer to JEDEC standard
JESD51, notably JESD51-12 and JESD51-7. Achieving
low thermal resistance necessitates attention to detail and
careful PCB layout.

Applications Information
Calculating Junction Temperature
Example: Given an output voltage of 2.5V, an input voltage range of 12V ±5%, an output current range of 0mA
to 50mA and a maximum ambient temperature of 85°C,
what will the maximum junction temperature be?
The power dissipated by the device equals:
IOUT(MAX) • (VIN(MAX)–VOUT) + IGND • VIN(MAX)
where,
IOUT(MAX) = 50mA
Control circuitry drives the gate of the NMOS high if either
the SHDN pin or the IN pin are driven low. In the case
where the IN pin is driven to ground, the NMOS rapidly
discharges the OUT pin to the threshold voltage of the
NMOS, approximately 800mV. From 800mV, the external
load discharges the OUT pin at a reduced rate.
The control circuitry implements protection features which
allow the OUT pin to be driven from –1V to 20V without
damaging the LT3063. Current limit foldback for output
voltages greater than 6V protects the NMOS pull-down,
but increases discharge times for higher output voltages.
VIN(MAX) = 12.6V
So,
P = 50mA • (12.6V – 2.5V) + 1mA • 12.6V = 0.518W
Using a DFN package, the thermal resistance will be in
the range of 38°C/W to 45°C/W depending on the copper
area. So the junction temperature rise above ambient is
approximately equal to:
OUTPUT DISCHARGE TIME (ms)
4.0
IGND at (IOUT = 50mA, VIN = 12V) = 1mA
COUT = 10µF
3.5 VIN = VOUT + 1V
3.0
2.5
2.0
1.5
0.5
0.518W • 45°C/W = 23.3°C
0
The maximum junction temperature equals the maximum
ambient temperature plus the maximum junction temperature rise above ambient or:
TJMAX = 85°C + 23.3°C = 108.3°C

Figure 7. Discharge Time vs Output Voltage
Protection Features
Output Discharge
The LT3063 includes a low resistance NMOS device which
rapidly discharges the output voltage if the part is put in
shutdown mode. For a 2.9V output with a 10μF decoupling
capacitor, the NMOS discharges the output to 290mV in
750µs if SHDN is driven low.
The LT3063 incorporates several protection features that
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 also protects against reverse-input
voltages and reverse output-to-input voltages.
Current limit protection and thermal overload protection
protect the device against current overload conditions at
the output of the device. The typical thermal shutdown
temperature is 165°C. For normal operation, do not exceed
a junction temperature of 125°C (LT3063E, LT3063I) or
150°C (LT3063MP, LT3063H).

Applications Information
The SHDN pin cannot be driven below GND unless tied to
the IN pin. If the SHDN pin is driven below GND while IN
is powered, the output will turn on. SHDN pin logic cannot
be referenced to a negative rail.
The LT3063 incurs no damage if the ADJ pin is pulled
above or below ground by 50V. If the input is left open
circuit or grounded, the ADJ pin performs like a large
resistor (typically 30k) in series with a diode when pulled
above or below ground.
Several different input/output conditions can occur, some
temporarily until the output capacitor is discharged by the
LT3063. The output voltage may be held up temporarily
or otherwise while the input is pulled to ground, pulled
to some intermediate voltage or left open-circuit. Current
flow back into the OUT pin follows the curve shown in
Figure 8. If the LT3063's IN pin is forced below the OUT
pin or the OUT pin is pulled above the IN pin, regardless of
the state of the SHDN pin, input current typically drops to
less than 3µA. If IN is pulled near 0V, the output discharge
pull-down NMOS turns on, regardless of the state of the
SHDN pin. The gate drive for the pull-down is supplied
by the output voltage.

VIN = VSHDN = 2.1V
45 VADJ = VOUT
REVERSE CURRENT (µA)
The LT3063 IN pin withstands reverse voltages of 50V. The
device limits current flow to less than 1mA (typically less
than 250µA) and no negative voltage appears at OUT. The
device protects both itself and the load against batteries
that are plugged in backwards.
