Operation
The RT9070B is a high input-voltage linear regulator
specifically designed to minimize external components.
The input voltage range is from 4.5V to 70V. The device
Over-Temperature Protection
supplies 20mA of output current with a maximum
dropout voltage of 230mV. Its 23A quiescent and 3A
temperature exceeds 150°C (typ.). Once the junction
temperature cools down by approximately 20°C, the
shutdown currents make it ideal for use in
battery-powered applications. Unlike many PNP LDO
regulator will automatically resume operation.
regulators, ground current does not increase much in
dropout conditions.
Output Transistor
The RT9070B includes a built-in PNP output transistor
configured for low dropout voltage. The output transistor
blocks the large reverse current from output to input
node if the output voltage is held higher than the input
The over-temperature protection function will turn off the
PNP output transistor when the internal junction
Reverse-Battery Protection
The RT9070B VIN can withstand reverse voltages as
high as 70V. Both the IC and the load are protected
and no negative voltage will appear at the output.
Reverse-Output Protection
The RT9070B protects against current flow to the input
(VIN) when the output voltage exceeds VIN.

higher than the input voltage, a current will conduct from
output via the resistor divider and FB node to ground.
Because the current is limited by the resistor divider and
FB internal resistor, no additional output blocking diode
is needed if the limited current is acceptable.
Current Limit Protection
Shutdown Control
The RT9070B provides a current limit function to prevent
damage during output over-load or shorted-circuit
conditions. The output current is detected by an internal
current-sense transistor.
The RT9070B SHDN input is an active-high input that
turns off the output transistor and reduces the quiescent
current to 3A typical. Connect SHDN to a voltage
below 0.4V for normal operation.

RT9070B
Application Information
The RT9070B is a high input-voltage linear regulator
specifically designed to minimize external components.
The input voltage range is from 4.5V to 70V. The
device supplies 20mA of output current with a
maximum dropout voltage of 230mV.
Adjustable Output Voltage and Compensation
The adjustable output may be set to provide from 1.25V
to 60V, using external feedback voltage divider
resistors (Figure 1). To achieve the correct
compensation (with your external FB divider, use a
lower divider resistor (R2) value below 100k.
Calculate R1 according to the following formula : R2 =
R1 / (VOUT / 1.25V – 1). Then, calculate the
compensation capacitor (CCOMP) value according to
the following formula : CCOMP = 25s/R1
Thermal Considerations
The RT9070B’s high input-voltage capability and high
output current capability require careful use to avoid
over-heating the IC and activating the internal thermal
protection. To avoid thermal shutdown, do not exceed
the IC’s maximum operating junction temperature
range of 125C.
For continuous operation, do not exceed absolute
maximum junction temperature. The maximum power
dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of the IC
package, PCB layout, rate of surrounding airflow, and
difference between junction and ambient temperature.
The maximum power dissipation can be calculated by
the following formula :
PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX)  TA) / JA
Added External NPN for High-Current Applications
where TJ(MAX) is the maximum junction temperature,
TA is the ambient temperature, and JA is the junction to

currents and/or
increased
power
dissipation are possible using an external NPN output
transistor. VOUT drives the base of the transistor and
FB monitors the actual output voltage, as in normal
applications. The output (Figure 2) can be used.
Component Selection
A low-ESR capacitor such as ceramic type must be
connected between VIN and GND with short, wide
traces to bypass input noise. RT9070B is designed to
work with small input capacitor to reduce the cost from
high-voltage low-ESR requirement. To guarantee a
minimum 0.1F input capacitance, a ceramic 0.18F
input capacitor with an appropriate voltage rating is
recommended.
The RT9070B operates with any reasonable output
capacitor including low-ESR ceramic types. Low-ESR
aluminum and tantalum capacitor may also be used. A
minimum of 1F is recommended and much higher
values are also acceptable. Connect the output
capacitor between VOUT and GND with short, wide
traces to keep the circuit stable.

For recommended operating condition specifications,
the maximum junction temperature is 125C. The
junction to ambient thermal resistance, JA, is layout
dependent. For SOT-23-5 package, the thermal
resistance, JA, is 218.1C/W on a standard JEDEC
51-7 four-layer thermal test board. The maximum
power dissipation at TA = 25C can be calculated by
the following formula :
PD(MAX) = (125C  25C) / (218.1C/W) = 0.45W for
SOT-23-5 package
The maximum power dissipation depends on the
operating ambient temperature for fixed TJ(MAX) and
thermal resistance, JA. The derating curve in Figure 3
allows the designer to see the effect of rising ambient
temperature on the maximum power dissipation.
