1728A QUICK START GUIDE
LT3015
1.5A, Low Noise, Negative Linear Regulator
with Precision Current Limit
DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 1728A is an adjustable 1.5A negative
linear regulator featuring the LT3015. This device supplies
up to 1.5A of output current at a typical dropout voltage
of 300mV. Operating quiescent current is typically 1.1mA
and drops to < 1μA in shutdown. Quiescent current is also
well controlled in dropout. In addition to fast transient
response, the LT3015 exhibits very low output noise,
making it ideal for noise-sensitive applications.
A key feature of the LT3015 is the capability to supply a
wide output voltage range. The DC1728A can be set to
–1.22V, –2.5V, –5.0V, –12.0V, –15.0V, as well as a user
select option. In addition, the DC1728A is capable of delivering up to –1.5A output current, and can be used as a
high current negative linear regulator, post regulator for
switching supply, variable voltage supply or low output
voltage power supply.
PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
Internal protection circuitry includes reverse output protection, precision current limit with foldback and thermal
limit with hysteresis.
The LT3015 is available as an adjustable device with a
–1.22V reference voltage. Packages include the 5-lead
TO-220 and DD-Pak, a thermally enhanced 12-lead MSOP
and the low profile 8-lead 0.75mm × 3mm × 3mm DFN.
The LT3015 datasheet gives a complete description of the
device, operation and application information. The datasheet should be read in conjunction with this quick start
guide for working on or modifying the demo circuit 1728A.

1728A QUICK START GUIDE
QUICK START PROCEDURE
Demonstration circuit 1728A is easy to set up to evaluate the performance of the LT3015. Refer to Figure 1 for
proper measurement equipment setup and follow the
procedure below:
NOTE. When measuring the input or output voltage
ripple, care must be taken to avoid a long ground lead
on the oscilloscope probe. Measure the input or output
voltage ripple by touching the probe tip directly across
the terminals of the input or output capacitors. See
Figure 2 for proper scope probe technique.
1. Place JP1 on the ON position.
NOTE. Put JP1 = 1-2 for ON, JP1 = 1-4 for OFF, or
JP1 = 1-3 for User Select.
2. Use JP2 to set the desired output voltage.
3. With power off, connect the input power supply to VIN
and GND.
4. Turn on the power at the VIN.
NOTE. Make sure that the VIN voltage does not exceed
–30V.
5. Check for the proper output voltages.
NOTE. If there is no output, temporarily disconnect
the load to make sure that the load is not set too high
or is shorted.
6. Once the proper output voltages are established, adjust the
loads within the operating range and observe the output
voltage regulation, efficiency and other parameters.
NOTE. Make sure that the power dissipation is limited
below the thermal limit.

An example thermal image (Figure 3) shows the temperature
distribution on the board. The test is done in still air at room
temperature with 1.96W power dissipation in the LT3015.
This gives the IC case-to-ambient thermal resistance
θJA = 23°C/W on the demo board.

CAPACITOR C1 IS AN OPTIONAL PART. IT WAS INSERTED ON THE DC1728A TO
DAMPEN THE (POSSIBLE) RINGING VOLTAGE DUE TO THE USE OF LONG INPUT
LEADS. ON A NORMAL, TYPICAL PCB, WITH SHORT TRACES, THE CAPACITOR
IS NOT NEEDED. SEE APPLICATION NOTE AN88 FOR MORE DETAILS.
