All other trademarks are the property of their respective owners. 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. 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 reversebattery 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.

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). μVRMS 1.1 CT Pin Charging Current CT Pin Voltage Differential 18 100 65 l V 75 dB 400 mA mA 270 12 25 μA 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. 3013bfb 3 LT3013B TYPICAL PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS Typical Dropout Voltage Guaranteed Dropout Voltage 600 400 TJ = 25°C 300 200 100 0 = TEST POINTS TJ ≤ 125°C 500 500 400 DROPOUT VOLTAGE (mV) TJ = 125°C TJ ≤ 25°C 300 200 100 100 150 200 OUTPUT CURRENT (mA) 0 250 Quiescent Current 50 150 100 200 OUTPUT CURRENT (mA) 60 40 20 IL = 1mA 1.250 1.245 1.240 1.235 1.230 75 50 25 TEMPERATURE (°C) 100 0 50 40 30 20 0 125 GND PIN CURRENT (mA) 100 75 50 1 2 RL = 49.6Ω IL = 25mA* 0.8 RL = 124Ω IL = 10mA* 0.6 0.4 RL = 1.24k IL = 1mA* 0.2 20 30 40 50 60 INPUT VOLTAGE (V) 70 80 3013 G06b 0 0 1 2 10 TJ = 25°C, *FOR VOUT = 1.24V 9 8 RL = 4.96Ω IL = 250mA* 7 6 5 RL = 12.4Ω IL = 100mA* 4 3 1 10 9 8 2 25 0 3 4 5 6 7 INPUT VOLTAGE (V) GND Pin Current 10 TJ = 25°C *FOR VOUT = 1.24V 1.0 125 0 3013 G06 GND Pin Current 1.2 150 0 60 3013 G05 Quiescent Current 125 10 1.220 –50 –25 250 175 100 TJ = 25°C RL = ∞ 70 3013 G04 TJ = 25°C 225 RL = ∞ VOUT = 1.24V 200 50 25 0 75 TEMPERATURE (°C) –25 Quiescent Current 80 1.225 25 50 75 100 125 150 TEMPERATURE (°C) IL = 1mA 3013 G03 QUIESCENT CURRENT (μA) ADJ PIN VOLTAGE (V) QUIESCENT CURRENT (μA) 250 1.255 0 IL = 10mA ADJ Pin Voltage 1.260 VIN = 6V RL = ∞ 100 IL = 0 0 –50 –25 IL = 50mA 200 3013 G02 120 80 IL = 100mA 300 0 –50 0 50 0 IL = 250mA 400 100 3013 G01 QUIESCENT CURRENT (μA) Dropout Voltage 600 GND PIN CURRENT (mA) DROPOUT VOLTAGE (mV) 500 GUARANTEED DROPOUT VOLTAGE (mV) 600 3 4 5 6 7 INPUT VOLTAGE (V) 8 9 10 3013 G07 0 RL = 24.8Ω, IL = 50mA* 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 INPUT VOLTAGE (V) 8 9 10 3013 G08 3013bfb 4 LT3013B TYPICAL PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS ADJ Pin Bias Current GND Pin Current vs ILOAD 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 1 5 0 0 –50 –25 50 PWRGD TRIP POINT (% OF OUTPUT VOLTAGE) 45 ADJ PIN BIAS CURRENT (nA) GND PIN CURRENT (mA) VIN = 4.5V 9 TJ = 25°C 0 100 150 200 LOAD CURRENT (mA) 250 75 50 25 TEMPERATURE (°C) 0 125 4.0 IPWRGD = 50μA 180 140 120 100 80 60 40 PWRGD TRIPPED HIGH 3.0 2.5 2.0 1.5 1.0 100 0 –50 –25 125 0 50 75 25 TEMPERATURE (°C) 3013 G26 100 0.4 0.3 0.5 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.2 0.1 0.1 0 0 10 20 85 –50 –25 30 40 50 60 INPUT VOLTAGE (V) 70 80 3013 G14 75 50 25 TEMPERATURE (°C) 0 100 125 VCT (HIGH) 1.8 1.6 1.4 1.2 1.0 0.8 0.6 0.4 VCT (LOW) 0.2 0 50 75 25 TEMPERATURE (°C) 100 125 3013 G28 REVERSE OUTPUT CURRENT (μA) CURRENT LIMIT (A) CURRENT LIMIT (A) TJ = 125°C 0.5 86 200 0.8 0.6 87 Reverse Output Current 0.6 TJ = 25°C OUTPUT FALLING 88 0 –50 –25 125 0.7 0.7 89 3013 G27 VOUT = 0V 0.9 OUTPUT RISING 90 Current Limit Current Limit 1.0 91 CT Comparator Thresholds 0.5 20 50 75 25 TEMPERATURE (°C) 92 3013 G25 CT COMPARATOR THRESHOLDS (V) CT CHARGING CURRENT (μA) 160 0 93 2.0 3.5 0 –50 –25 94 CT Charging Current PWRGD Output Low Voltage PWRGD OUTPUT LOW VOLTAGE (mV) 100 95 3013 G13 3013 G09 200 PWRGD Trip Point 50 10 VIN = 7V VOUT = 0V 0 –50 –25 TJ = 25°C 180 VIN = 0V VOUT = VADJ 160 140 120 CURRENT FLOWS INTO OUTPUT PIN 100 80 60 ADJ PIN CLAMP (SEE APPLICATIONS INFORMATION) 40 20 50 25 0 75 TEMPERATURE (°C) 100 125 3013 G15 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 OUTPUT VOLTAGE (V) 9 10 3013 G16 3013bfb 5 LT3013B TYPICAL PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS Input Ripple Rejection Reverse Output Current VIN = 0V VOUT = VADJ = 1.24V 20 15 10 80 76 72 68 64 75 50 25 TEMPERATURE (°C) 100 80 84 5 0 VIN = 4.5V + 50mVRMS RIPPLE 90 ILOAD = 250mA 88 25 0 –50 –25 100 RIPPLE REJECTION (dB) 30 Input Ripple Rejection 92 RIPPLE REJECTION (dB) REVERSE OUTPUT CURRENT (μA) 35 –25 50 25 0 75 TEMPERATURE (°C) 100 3013 G17 –2 LOAD REGULATION (mV) MINIMUM INPUT VOLTAGE (V) 2.5 2.0 1.5 1.0 0 125 75 50 25 TEMPERATURE (°C) 100 125 100 1k 10k FREQUENCY (Hz) 100k $IL = 1mA TO 250mA –4 –6 –8 –10 –12 –14 –20 –50 –25 1M Output Noise Spectral Density –18 0 10 3013 G19 –16 0.5 COUT = 3.3μF 10 OUTPUT NOISE SPECTRAL DENSITY (mV/√Hz) ILOAD = 250mA 3.0 COUT = 10μF 30 Load Regulation 0 3.5 0 –50 –25 50 40 3013 G18 Minimum Input Voltage 4.0 60 20 VIN = 4.5V + 0.5VP-P RIPPLE AT f = 120Hz IL = 250mA VOUT = 1.24V 60 –50 125 70 0 50 75 25 TEMPERATURE (°C) 100 3013 G20 125 10 COUT = 3.3μF ILOAD = 250mA 1 0.1 0.01 10 100 1k 10k FREQUENCY (Hz) 3013 G22 3013 G21 10Hz to 100Hz Output Noise 100k Transition Response VOUT 100μV/DIV COUT = 10μF IL = 250mA VOUT = VADJ 1ms/DIV 3013B G23 LOAD CURRENT (mA) OUTPUT VOLTAGE DEVIATION (V) 0.15 0.10 0.05 0 –0.05 VIN = 6V VOUT = 5V CIN = 3.3μF CERAMIC COUT = 3.3μF CERAMIC $ILOAD = 100mA TO 200mA –0.10 –0.15 300 200 100 0 0 100 300 200 TIME (μs) 400 500 3013 G24 3013bfb 6 LT3013B PIN FUNCTIONS (DFN/TSSOP) 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. 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 (Pin 5/Pins 1, 6, 8, 9, 16): Ground. 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 battery-powered 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. Exposed Pad (Pin 13/Pin 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. 3013bfb 7 LT3013B APPLICATIONS INFORMATION 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 IN VIN 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 OUT LT3013B R2 + VOUT ADJ GND R1 3013 F01 VOUT = 1.24V 1 + R2 + (IADJ)(R2) R1 VADJ = 1.24V IADJ = 30nA AT 25°C OUTPUT RANGE = 1.24V TO 60V Figure 1. Adjustable Operation 3013bfb 8 LT3013B APPLICATIONS INFORMATION and temperature coefficients as shown in Figures 2 and 3. 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 codes 20 BOTH CAPACITORS ARE 16V, 1210 CASE SIZE, 10μF CHANGE IN VALUE (%) 0 X5R –20 –40 Y5V –80 0 2 4 8 6 10 12 DC BIAS VOLTAGE (V) 14 16 3013 F02 Figure 2. Ceramic Capacitor DC Bias Characteristics 40 CHANGE IN VALUE (%) 20 0 X5R 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: –20 –40 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. PWRGD Flag and Timing Capacitor Delay –60 –100 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.

Ceramic Capacitor Temperature Characteristics Figure 4 shows a block diagram of the PWRGD circuit. At start-up, the timing capacitor is discharged and the PWRGD pin will be held low. As the output voltage increases and the ADJ pin crosses the 90% threshold, the JK flip-flop is reset, and the 3μA current source begins to charge the 3013bfb 9 LT3013B APPLICATIONS INFORMATION ICT 3μA PWRGD CT ADJ + J VREF • 90% – VCT(HIGH) – VBE (~1.1V) Q K – VCT(LOW) ~0.1V + 3013 F04 Figure 4. PWRGD Circuit Block Diagram timing capacitor. Once the voltage on the CT pin reaches the VCT(HIGH) threshold (approximately 1.7V at 25°C), the capacitor voltage is clamped and the PWRGD pin is set to a high impedance state. 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. 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 maximum junction temperature rating may impair the life of the device. Thermal Considerations 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: 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. 3013bfb 10 LT3013B APPLICATIONS INFORMATION 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 3/32" FR-4 board with one ounce copper. Table 1. Measured Thermal Resistance (TSSOP) COPPER AREA 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 250mA, and a maximum ambient temperature of 30°C, what will the maximum junction temperature be? The power dissipated by the device will be equal to: IOUT(MAX) • (VIN(MAX) – VOUT) + (IGND • VIN(MAX)) where: IOUT(MAX) = 250mA THERMAL RESISTANCE BOARD AREA (JUNCTION-TO-AMBIENT) VIN(MAX) = 12V 2500 sq mm 2500 sq mm 40°C/W IGND at (IOUT = 250mA, VIN = 12V) = 8mA 1000 sq mm 2500 sq mm 2500 sq mm 45°C/W 225 sq mm 2500 sq mm 2500 sq mm 50°C/W 100 sq mm 2500 sq mm 2500 sq mm 62°C/W TOPSIDE BACKSIDE 2500 sq mm Table 2. Measured Thermal Resistance (DFN) COPPER AREA THERMAL RESISTANCE TOPSIDE BACKSIDE BOARD AREA (JUNCTION-TO-AMBIENT) 2500 sq mm 2500 sq mm 2500 sq mm 40°C/W 1000 sq mm 2500 sq mm 2500 sq mm 45°C/W 225 sq mm 2500 sq mm 2500 sq mm 50°C/W 100 sq mm 2500 sq mm 2500 sq mm 62°C/W 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. So: P = 250mA • (12V – 5V) + (8mA • 12V) = 1.85W 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 3013bfb 11 LT3013B APPLICATIONS INFORMATION 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. Like many IC power regulators, the LT3013B has safe operating area protection. The safe area protection decreases the current limit as input voltage increases and keeps the power transistor inside a safe operating region for all values of input voltage. The protection is designed to provide some output current at all values of input voltage up to the device breakdown. The SOA protection circuitry for the LT3013B uses a current generated when the input voltage exceeds 25V to decrease current limit. This current shows up as additional quiescent current for input voltages above 25V. This increase in quiescent current occurs both in normal operation and in shutdown (see curve of Quiescent Current in the Typical Performance Characteristics). 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.

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.
