LTC3025 300mA Micropower VLDO Linear Regulator FEATURES DESCRIPTION n The LTC®3025 is a micropower, VLDOTM (very low dropout) linear regulator which operates from input voltages as low as 0.9V. The device is capable of supplying 300mA of output current with a typical dropout voltage of only 45mV. A BIAS supply is required to run the internal reference and LDO circuitry while output current comes directly from the IN supply for high efficiency regulation. The low 0.4V internal reference voltage allows the LTC3025 output to be programmed to much lower voltages than available in common LDOs (range of 0.4V to 3.6V). The output voltage is programmed via two ultrasmall SMD resistors. n n n n n n n n n n n n n Wide Input Voltage Range: 0.9V to 5.5V Stable with Ceramic Capacitors Very Low Dropout: 45mV at 300mA Adjustable Output Range: 0.4V to 3.6V ±2% Voltage Accuracy over Temperature Supply Load Low Noise: 80μVRMS (10Hz to 100kHz) BIAS Voltage Range: 2.5V to 5.5V Fast Transient Recovery Shutdown Disconnects Load from VIN and VBIAS Low Operating Current: IIN = 4μA, IBIAS = 50μA Typ Low Shutdown Current: IIN = 1μA, IBIAS = 0.01μA Typ Output Current Limit Thermal Overload Protection Available in 6-Lead (2mm × 2mm) DFN Package APPLICATIONS n n n n n n n Low Power Handheld Devices Low Voltage Logic Supplies DSP Power Supplies Cellular Phones Portable Electronic Equipment Handheld Medical Instruments Post Regulator for Switching Supply Noise Rejection The LTC3025’s low quiescent current makes it an ideal choice for use in battery-powered systems.

BIAS provides internal power for LTC3025 circuitry. The BIAS pin should be locally bypassed to ground if the LTC3025 is more than a few inches away from another source of bulk capacitance. In general, the output impedance of a battery rises with frequency, so it is usually advisable to include an input bypass capacitor in battery-powered circuits. A capacitor in the range of 0.01μF to 0.1μF is usually sufficient. GND (Pin 2): Ground. Connect to a ground plane. IN (Pin 3): Input Supply Voltage. The output load current is supplied directly from IN. The IN pin should be locally bypassed to ground if the LTC3025 is more than a few inches away from another source of bulk capacitance. In general, the output impedance of a battery rises with frequency, so it is usually advisable to include an input bypass capacitor when supplying IN from a battery. A capacitor in the range of 0.1μF to 1μF is usually sufficient. OUT (Pin 4): Regulated Output Voltage. The OUT pin supplies power to the load. A minimum ceramic output capacitor of at least 1μF is required to ensure stability. Larger output capacitors may be required for applications with large transient loads to limit peak voltage transients. See the Applications Information section for more information on output capacitance. ADJ (Pin 5): Adjust Input. This is the input to the error amplifier. The ADJ pin reference voltage is 0.4V referenced to ground. The output voltage range is 0.4V to 3.6V and is typically set by connecting ADJ to a resistor divider from OUT to GND. See Figure 2. SHDN (Pin 6): Shutdown Input, Active Low. This pin is used to put the LTC3025 into shutdown. The SHDN pin current is typically less than 10nA. The SHDN pin cannot be left floating and must be tied to a valid logic level (such as BIAS) if not used. GND (Exposed Pad Pin 7): Ground and Heat Sink. Must be soldered to PCB ground plane or large pad for optimal thermal performance. 3025fd 5 LTC3025 BLOCK DIAGRAM 1 BIAS REFERENCE 6 SHDN SHDN SOFT-START 0.4V IN + – 2 3 6μA OUT GND ADJ 4 5 3025 BD APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Operation (Refer to Block Diagram) The LTC3025 is a micropower, VLDO (very low dropout) linear regulator which operates from input voltages as low as 0.9V. The device provides a high accuracy output that is capable of supplying 300mA of output current with a typical dropout voltage of only 45mV. A single ceramic capacitor as small as 1μF is all that is required for output bypassing. A low reference voltage allows the LTC3025 output to be programmed to much lower voltages than available in common LDOs (range of 0.4V to 3. 6V). As shown in the Block Diagram, the BIAS input supplies the internal reference and LDO circuitry while all output current comes directly from the IN input for high efficiency regulation. The low quiescent supply currents IIN = 4μA, IBIAS = 50μA drop to IIN = 1μA, IBIAS = 0.01μA typical in shutdown making the LTC3025 an ideal choice for use in battery-powered systems. The device includes current limit and thermal overload protection. The fast transient response of the follower output stage overcomes the traditional tradeoff between dropout voltage, quiescent current and load transient response inherent in most LDO regulator architectures. The LTC3025 also includes overshoot detection circuitry which brings the output back into regulation when going from heavy to light output loads (see Figure 1). 300mA IOUT 0mA VOUT AC 20mV/DIV VIN = 1.5V VOUT = 1.2V VBIAS = 3.6V COUT = 1μF 100μs/DIV 3025 F01 Figure 1. LTC3025 Transient Response Adjustable Output Voltage The output voltage is set by the ratio of two external resistors as shown in Figure 2. The device servos the output to maintain the ADJ pin voltage at 0.4V (referenced to ground). Thus the current in R1 is equal to 0.4V/R1. For good transient response, stability, and accuracy, the current in R1 should be at least 8μA, thus the value of R1 should be no greater than 50k. The current in R2 is the current in R1 plus the ADJ pin bias current. Since the ADJ pin bias current is typically <10nA, it can be ignored in the output voltage calculation. The output voltage can be calculated 3025fd 6 LTC3025 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION The LTC3025 operates at a relatively high gain of –0.7μV/ mA referred to the ADJ input. Thus a load current change of 1mA to 300mA produces a –0.2mV drop at the ADJ input. To calculate the change referred to the output simply multiply by the gain of the feedback network (i. e. ,1 + R2/R1). For example, to program the output for 1.2V choose R2/R1 = 2. In this example, an output current change of 1mA to 300mA produces –0.2mV • (1 + 2) = 0.6mV drop at the output. Because the ADJ pin is relatively high impedance (depending on the resistor divider used) , stray capacitance at this pin should be minimized (<10pF) to prevent phase shift in the error amplifier loop. Additionally, special attention should be given to any stray capacitances that can couple external signals onto the ADJ pin producing undesirable output ripple. For optimum performance connect the ADJ pin to R1 and R2 with a short PCB trace and minimize all other stray capacitance to the ADJ pin. ( ) VOUT = 0.4V 1 R2 R1 OUT R2 ADJ COUT increase the effective output capacitor value. High ESR tantalum and electrolytic capacitors may be used, but a low ESR ceramic capacitor must be in parallel at the output. There is no minimum ESR or maximum capacitor size requirements. 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 Z5U, Y5V, X5R and X7R. The Z5U and Y5V dielectrics are good for providing high capacitances in a small package, but exhibit large voltage and temperature coefficients as shown in Figures 3 and 4. When used with a 2V regulator, a 1μF Y5V capacitor can lose as much as 75% of its initial capacitance over the operating 20 BOTH CAPACITORS ARE 1μF, 10V, 0603 CASE SIZE 0 CHANGE IN VALUE (%) using the formula in Figure 2.

Programming the LTC3025 20 Output Capacitance and Transient Response CHANGE IN VALUE (%) The LTC3025 is designed to be stable with a wide range of ceramic output capacitors. The ESR of the output capacitor affects stability, most notably with small capacitors. A minimum output capacitor of 1μF with an ESR of 0.05Ω or less is recommended to ensure stability. The LTC3025 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.

Ceramic Capacitor Temperature Characteristics 3025fd 7 LTC3025 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION temperature range. The X5R and X7R dielectrics result in more stable characteristics and are usually 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. In all cases, the output capacitance should never drop below 0.4μF, or instability or degraded performance may occur. 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 the output current multiplied by the input/output voltage differential: (IOUT) (VIN – VOUT) Note that the BIAS current is less than 300μA even under heavy loads, so its power consumption can be ignored for thermal calculations. The LTC3025 has internal thermal limiting designed to protect the device during momentary 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 LTC3025 2mm × 2mm DFN package is specified as having a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 102°C/W, which assumes a minimal heat spreading copper plane. The actual thermal resistance can be reduced substantially by connecting the package directly to a good heat spreading ground plane. When soldered to 2500mm2 double-sided 1 oz. copper plane, the actual junction-to-ambient thermal resistance can be less than 60°C/W. Calculating Junction Temperature Example: Given an output voltage of 1.2V, an input voltage of 1.8V to 3V, an output current range of 0mA to 100mA and a maximum ambient temperature of 50°C, what will the maximum junction temperature be? The power dissipated by the device will be equal to: IOUT(MAX) (VIN(MAX) – VOUT) where: IOUT(MAX) = 100mA VIN(MAX) = 3V So: P = 100mA(3V – 1.2V) = 0.18W Even under worst-case conditions, the LTC3025’s BIAS pin power dissipation is only about 1mW, thus can be ignored. Assuming a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 102°C/W, the junction temperature rise above ambient will be approximately equal to: 0.18W(102°C/W) = 18.4°C The maximum junction temperature will then be equal to the maximum junction temperature rise above ambient plus the maximum ambient temperature or: T = 50°C + 18.4°C = 68.4°C Short-Circuit/Thermal Protection The LTC3025 has built-in short-circuit current limiting as well as overtemperature protection. During short-circuit conditions, internal circuitry automatically limits the output current to approximately 600mA. At higher temperatures, or in cases where internal power dissipation causes excessive self heating on chip, the thermal shutdown circuitry will shut down the LDO when the junction temperature exceeds approximately 150°C. It will re enable the LDO once the junction temperature drops back to approximately 140°C. 3025fd 8 LTC3025 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION The LTC3025 will cycle in and out of thermal shutdown without latch-up or damage until the overstress condition is removed. Long term overstress (TJ > 125°C) should be avoided as it can degrade the performance or shorten the life of the part. Soft-Start Operation The LTC3025 includes a soft-start feature to prevent excessive current flow during start-up. When the LDO is enabled, the soft-start circuitry gradually increases the LDO reference voltage from 0V to 0.4V over a period of about 600μs. There is a short 700μs delay from the time the part is enabled until the LDO output starts to rise. Figure 5 shows the start-up and shutdown output waveform. SHDN ON OFF 1.2V VOUT 200mV/DIV 0V TA = 25°C VIN = 1.5V VBIAS = 3.6V COUT = 1μF RLOAD = 4Ω 500μs/DIV 3025 F05 VOUT Start-Up and Supply Sequencing During power-up, the output shutdown circuitry is not active below VIN of about 0.65V DC (typical). As a result, the output voltage can drift up during power-up due to leakage current (<1 mA typical) from VIN to VOUT . At 0.9V input, the shutdown circuitry is active and the output is actively held off. This usually causes no circuit problems and is similar to 3-terminal regulators such as the LT3080, LT1086 and LT317 which have no ground pin and can have the output rise under some conditions. A slowly rising VIN with the part enabled may result in non-monotonic ramping of VOUT due to LDO circuitry becoming active at VIN of about 0.65V (typical) as well. With fast rising inputs (>1V/ms) or with sufficient resistive load on VOUT , output voltage rise during power-up is reduced or eliminated. Such conditions also reduce or eliminate non-monotonic initial power-up with the part enabled. If VBIAS is sequenced up before VIN, the leakage current from VIN to VOUT may increase until the shutdown circuitry is active at a VIN of about 0.65V typical. Thus, to minimize VOUT rise during start-up, sequence up VIN before VBIAS. At VIN = 0.9V, the output is actively held off in shutdown or it is actively held on when enabled under all conditions.
