The LT®1175 is a negative micropower low dropout
regulator. It features 45µA quiescent current, dropping
to 10µA in shutdown. A new reference amplifier topology
gives precision DC characteristics along with the ability to
maintain good loop stability with an extremely wide range
of output capacitors. Very low dropout voltage and high
efficiency are obtained with a unique power transistor
anti-saturation design. Adjustable and fixed 5V versions
are available.
Several new features make the LT1175 very user-friendly.
The SHDN pin can interface directly to either positive or
negative logic levels. Current limit is user-selectable at
200mA, 400mA, 600mA and 800mA. The output can be
forced to reverse voltage without damage or latchup. Unlike some earlier designs, the increase in quiescent current
during a dropout condition is actively limited.
The LT1175 has complete blowout protection with current
limiting, power limiting and thermal shutdown. Special
attention was given to the problem of high temperature
operation with micropower operating currents, preventing
output voltage rise under no-load conditions. The LT1175
is available in 8-pin PDIP and SO packages, 3-lead SOT223 as well as 5-pin surface mount DD and through-hole
TO-220 packages. The 8-pin SO package is specially
constructed for low thermal resistance.

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: SHDN pin maximum positive voltage is 30V with respect to
– VIN and 13.5V with respect to GND. Maximum negative voltage is –20V
with respect to GND and –5V with respect to –VIN.
Note 3: PMAX = 1.5W for 8-pin packages, and 6W for 5-pin packages.
This power level holds only for input-to-output voltages up to 12V, beyond
which internal power limiting may reduce power. See Guaranteed Current
Limit curve in Typical Performance Characteristics section. Note that all
conditions must be met.
Note 4: GND pin current increases because of power transistor base
drive. At low input-to-output voltages (<1V) where the power transistor

is in saturation, GND pin current will be slightly higher. See Typical
Performance Characteristics.
Note 5: With ILOAD = 0, at TJ > 125°C, power transistor leakage could
increase higher than the 10µA to 25µA drawn by the output divider or fixed
voltage SENSE pin, causing the output to rise above the regulated value.
To prevent this condition, an internal active pull-up will automatically turn
on, but supply current will increase.
Note 6: This is the current required to pull the output voltage to within 1V
of ground during shutdown.
Note 7: Dropout voltage is measured by setting the input voltage equal to
the normal regulated output voltage and measuring the difference between
VIN and VOUT. For currents between 100mA and 500mA, with both ILIM
pins tied to VIN, maximum dropout can be calculated from
VDO = 0.15 + 1.1Ω (IOUT).

Electrical Characteristics
regulation will be affected by thermal regulation (Note 8) and chip
temperature changes. Load regulation specification also holds for currents
up to the specified current limit when ILIM2 or ILIM4 are left open.
Note 11: Current limit is reduced for input-to-output voltage above 12V.
See the graph in Typical Performance Characteristics for guaranteed limits
above 12V.
Note 12: Operating at very large input-to-output differential voltages
(>15V) with load currents less than 5mA requires an output capacitor with
an ESR greater than 1Ω to prevent low level output oscillations.
Note 8: Thermal regulation is a change in the output voltage caused by
die temperature gradients, so it is proportional to chip power dissipation.
Temperature gradients reach final value in less than 100ms. Output voltage
changes after 100ms are due to absolute die temperature changes and
reference voltage temperature coefficient.
Note 9: The lower limit of 0.8V is guaranteed to keep the regulator in
shutdown. The upper limit of 2.5V is guaranteed to keep the regulator
active. Either polarity may be used, referenced to GND pin.
Note 10: Load and line regulation are measured on a pulse basis with
pulse width of 20ms or less to keep chip temperature constant. DC

Pin Functions
(N8/Q/ST/S8/T)
VIN (Pins 1, 8/Pin 3, Tab/Pin 2, Tab/Pins 1, 8/Pin 3, Tab):
Power is supplied to the device through this pin. A bypass
capacitor is required on this pin if the device is more than
six inches away from the main filter capacitor. In general,
the impedance of a battery rises with frequency, so it is
advisable to include a bypass capacitor in battery-powered
circuits. A 1µF or larger tantalum capacitor is suggested
for all applications, but if low ESR capacitors such as
ceramic or film are used for the output and input capacitors, the input capacitor should be three times the value
of the output capacitor.
ILIM2, ILIM4 (Pins 2, 7/NA/NA/Pins 2, 7/NA): The two
current limit pins are emitter sections of the power transistor. When left open, they float several hundred millivolts
above the negative input voltage. When shorted to the
input voltage, they increase current limit by a minimum
of 200mA for ILIM2 and 400mA for ILIM4. These pins must
be connected only to the input voltage, either directly or
through a resistor.
OUTPUT (Pin 3/Pin 1/Pin 1/Pin 3/Pin 1): The OUTPUT pin
is the collector of the NPN power transistor. It can be forced
to the input voltage, to ground or up to 2V positive with
respect to ground without damage or latchup (see Output
Voltage Reversal in Applications Information section). The
LT1175 has foldback current limit, so maximum current at
the OUTPUT pin is a function of input-to-output voltage.
See Typical Performance Characteristics.
The fixed 5V version utilizes the SENSE pin to give true
Kelvin connections to the load or to drive an external pass
transistor for higher output currents. Bias current out
of the 5V SENSE pin is approximately 12µA. Separating
the SENSE and OUTPUT pins also allows for a new loop
compensation technique described in the Applications
Information section.
GND (Pin 5/Pin 4/Pin 3/Pin 5/Pin 4): The GND pin has a
quiescent current of 45µA at zero load current, increasing by approximately 10µA per mA of output current. At
500mA output current, GND pin current is about 5mA.
Current flows into the GND pin.
SHDN (Pin 6/Pin 5/NA/Pin 6/Pin 5): The SHDN pin is
specially configured to allow it to be driven from either
positive voltage logic or with negative only logic. Forcing the SHDN pin 2V either above or below the GND
pin will turn the regulator on. This makes it simple to
connect directly to positive logic signals for active low
shutdown. If no positive voltages are available, the
SHDN pin can be driven below the GND pin to turn the
regulator on. When left open, the SHDN pin will default
low to a regulator “on” condition. For all voltages below
absolute maximum ratings, the SHDN pin draws only a
few microamperes of current (see Typical Performance
Characteristics). Maximum voltage on the SHDN pin is 15V,
– 20V with respect to the GND pin and 35V, –5V with
respect to the negative input pin.
SENSE (Pin 4/Pin 2/NA/Pin 4/Pin 2): The SENSE pin is
used in the adjustable version to allow custom selection
of output voltage, with an external divider set to generate
3.8V at the SENSE pin. Input bias current is typically 75nA
flowing out of the pin. Maximum forced voltage on the
SENSE pin is 2V and –10V with respect to GND pin.

Applications Information
Note to Reader: To avoid confusion when working with
negative voltages (is –6V more or less than –5V?), I have
decided to treat the LT1175 as if it were a positive regulator
and express all voltages as positive values, both in text and
in formulas. If you do the same and simply add a negative
sign to the eventual answer, confusion should be avoided.
Please don’t give me a hard time about “preciseness” or
“correctness.” I have to field phone calls from around
the world and this is my way of dealing with a multitude
of conventions. Thanks for your patience.
The LT1175-5 is a fixed 5V design with the SENSE pin
acting as a Kelvin connection to the output. Normally the
SENSE pin and the OUTPUT pin are connected directly
together, either close to the regulator or at the remote
load point.

The LT1175 adjustable version has a feedback sense
voltage of 3.8V with a bias current of approximately 75nA
flowing out of the SENSE pin. To avoid output voltage
errors caused by this current, the output divider string
(see Figure 1) should draw about 25µA. Table 1 shows
suggested resistor values for a range of output voltages.
The second part of the table shows resistor values which
draw only 10µA of current. Output voltage error caused
by bias current with the lower valued resistors is about
0.4% maximum and with the higher values, about 1%
maximum. A formula is also shown for calculating the
resistors for any output voltage.

Setting Current Limit
The LT1175 uses two ILIM pins to set current limit (typical)
at 200mA, 400mA, 600mA or 800mA. The corresponding
minimum guaranteed currents are 130mA, 260mA, 390mA
and 520mA. This allows the user to select a current limit
tailored to his specific application and prevents the situation where short-circuit current is many times higher than
full-load current. Problems with input supply overload or
excessive power dissipation in a faulted load are prevented.
Power limiting in the form of foldback current limit is built
in and reduces current limit as a function of input-to-output
voltage differential for differentials exceeding 14V. See the
graph in Typical Performance Characteristics. The LT1175
is guaranteed to be blowout-proof regardless of current
limit setting. The power limiting combined with thermal
shutdown protects the device from destructive junction
temperatures under all load conditions.

In shutdown, the LT1175 draws only about 10µA. Special
circuitry is used to minimize increases in shutdown current at high temperatures, but a slight increase is seen
above 125°C. One option not taken was to actively pull
down on the output during shutdown. This means that the
output will fall slowly after shutdown is initiated, at a rate
determined by load current plus the 12µA internal load,
and the size of the output capacitor. Active pull-down is

but it prevents the user from shutting down the regulator
when a second power source is connected to the LT1175
output. If active output pull-down is needed in shutdown,
it can be added externally with a depletion mode PFET as
shown in Figure 2. Note that the maximum pinch-off voltage of the PFET must be less than the positive logic high
level to ensure that the device is completely off when the
regulator is active. The Motorola J177 device has 300Ω

Minimum Dropout Voltage
Dropout voltage is the minimum voltage required between
input and output to maintain proper output regulation.
For older 3-terminal regulator designs, dropout voltage
was typically 1.5V to 3V. The LT1175 uses a saturating
power transistor design which gives much lower dropout
voltage, typically 100mV at light loads and 450mV at full
load. Special precautions were taken to ensure that this
technique does not cause quiescent supply current to be
high under light load conditions. When the regulator input
voltage is too low to maintain a regulated output, the pass
transistor is driven hard by the error amplifier as it tries
to maintain regulation. The current drawn by the driver
transistor could be tens of milliamperes even with little or
no load on the output. This indeed was the case for older
IC designs that did not actively limit driver current when
the power transistor saturated. The LT1175 uses a new
antisaturation technique that prevents high driver current,
yet allows the power transistor to approach its theoretical
saturation limit.
Output Capacitor
Several new regulator design techniques are used to make
the LT1175 extremely tolerant of output capacitor selection.
Like most low dropout designs which use a collector or
drain of the power transistor to drive the output node, the
LT1175 uses the output capacitor as part of the overall
loop compensation. Older regulators generally required
the output capacitor to have a minimum value of 1µF to
100µF, a maximum ESR (Effective Series Resistance) of
0.1Ω to 1Ω and a minimum ESR in the range of 0.03Ω to
0.3Ω. These restrictions usually could be met only with
good quality solid tantalum capacitors. Aluminum capacitors have problems with high ESR unless much higher
values of capacitance are used (physically large). The ESR
of ceramic or film capacitors was too low, which made
the capacitance/ESR zero frequency too high to maintain
phase margin in the regulator. Even with optimum capacitors, loop phase margin was very low in previous designs
when output current was low. These problems led to a new
design technique for the LT1175 error amplifier and internal
frequency compensation as shown in Figure 3.
A conventional regulator loop consists of error amplifier
A1, driver transistor Q2 and power transistor Q1. Added
to this basic loop are secondary loops generated by Q3
and CF. A DC negative feedback current fed into the error
amplifier through Q3 and RN causes overall loop current
gain to be very low at light load currents. This is not a
problem because very little gain is needed at light loads.
In addition to low gain, the parasitic pole frequency at Q2
base is extended by the DC feedback. The combination of
these two effects dramatically improves loop phase margin
at light loads and makes the loop tolerant of large ESR in
the output capacitor. With heavy loads, loop phase and gain
are not nearly as troublesome and large negative feedback
could degrade regulation. The logarithmic behavior of the
base emitter voltage of Q1 reduces Q3 negative feedback
at heavy loads to prevent poor regulation.
In a conventional design, even with the nonlinear feedback,
poor loop phase margin would occur at medium to heavy
loads if the ESR of the output capacitor fell below 0.3Ω.

This condition can occur with ceramic or film capacitors
which often have an ESR under 0.1Ω. With previous designs, the user was forced to add a real resistor in series
with the capacitor to guarantee loop stability. The LT1175
uses a unique AC feedforward technique to eliminate
this problem. CF is a conventional feedforward capacitor
often used in regulators to cancel the pole formed by the
output capacitor. It would normally be connected from the
regulated output node to the feedback node at the R1/R2
junction or to an internal node on the amplifier as shown.
In this case, however, the capacitor is connected to the
internal structure of the power transistor. RC is the unavoidable parasitic collector resistance of the power transistor.
Access to the node at the bottom of RC is available only
in monolithic structures where Kelvin connections can
be made to the NPN buried collector layer. The loop now
responds as if RC were in series with the output capacitor
and good loop stability is achieved even with extremely
low ESR in the output capacitor.
The end result of all this attention to loop stability is that
the output capacitor used with the LT1175 can range in
value from 0.1µF to hundreds of microfarads, with an ESR
from 0Ω to 10Ω. This range allows the use of ceramic,
solid tantalum, aluminum and film capacitors over a wide
range of values.
The optimum output capacitor type for the LT1175 is
still solid tantalum, but there is considerable leeway in
selecting the exact unit. If large load current transients
are expected, larger capacitors with lower ESR may be
needed to control worst-case output variation during
transients. If transients are not an issue, the capacitor
can be chosen for small physical size, low price, etc.
Concerns about surge currents in tantalum capacitors are
not an issue for the output capacitor because the LT1175
limits inrush current to well below the level which can
cause capacitor damage. Surges caused by shorting the
regulator output are also not a problem because tantalum
1175fe

LT1175
Applications Information
capacitors do not fail during a “shorting out” surge, only
during a “charge up” surge.
The output capacitor should be located within several
inches of the regulator. If remote sensing is used, the output
capacitor can be located at the remote sense node, but the
GND pin of the regulator should also be connected to the
remote site. The basic rule is to keep SENSE and GND pins
close to the output capacitor, regardless of where it is.
Operating at very large input-to-output differential voltages (>15V) with load currents less than 5mA requires an
output capacitor with an ESR greater than 1Ω to prevent
low level output oscillations.
Input Capacitor
The LT1175 requires a separate input bypass capacitor
only if the regulator is located more than six inches from
the raw supply output capacitor. A 1µF or larger tantalum
capacitor is suggested for all applications, but if low ESR
capacitors such as ceramic or film are used for the output and input capacitors, the input capacitor should be
at least three times the value of the output capacitor. If a
solid tantalum or aluminum electrolytic output capacitor
is used, the input capacitor is very noncritical.
High Temperature Operation
The LT1175 is a micropower design with only 45µA quiescent current. This could make it perform poorly at high
temperatures (>125°C), where power transistor leakage
might exceed the output node loading current (5µA to
15µA). To avoid a condition where the output voltage
drifts uncontrolled high during a high temperature no-load
condition, the LT1175 has an active load which turns on
when the output is pulled above the nominal regulated
voltage. This load absorbs power transistor leakage and
maintains good regulation. There is one downside to this
feature, however. If the output is pulled high deliberately, as
it might be when the LT1175 is used as a backup to a slightly
higher output from a primary regulator, the LT1175 will act
as an unwanted load on the primary regulator. Because of
this, the active pull-down is deliberately “weak.” It can be
modeled as a 2k resistor in series with an internal clamp
voltage when the regulator output is being pulled high. If
a 4.8V output is pulled to 5V, for instance, the load on the
primary regulator would be (5V – 4.8V)/2kΩ = 100µA.
This also means that if the internal pass transistor leaks
50µA, the output voltage will be (50µA)(2kΩ) = 100mV
high. This condition will not occur under normal operating
conditions, but could occur immediately after an output
short circuit had overheated the chip.
Thermal Considerations
The LT1175 is available in a special 8-pin surface mount
package which has Pins 1 and 8 connected to the die attach
paddle. This reduces thermal resistance when Pins 1 and 8
are connected to expanded copper lands on the PC board.
Table 2 shows thermal resistance for various combinations
of copper lands and backside or internal planes. Table 2
also shows thermal resistance for the 5-pin DD surface
mount package and the 8-pin DIP and package.

To calculate die temperature, maximum power dissipation

between the input and output of the regulator. Reverse
voltages between input and output above 1V will damage
the regulator if large currents are allowed to flow. Simply
disconnecting the input source with the output held up
will not cause damage even though the input-to-output
voltage will become slightly reversed.
High Frequency Ripple Rejection
The LT1175 will sometimes be powered from switching
regulators that generate the unregulated or quasi-regulated
input voltage. This voltage will contain high frequency ripple
that must be rejected by the linear regulator. Special care
was taken with the LT1175 to maximize high frequency
ripple rejection, but as with any micropower design,
rejection is strongly affected by ripple frequency. The
graph in the Typical Performance Characteristics section
shows 60dB rejection at 1kHz, but only 15dB rejection at
100kHz for the 5V part. Photographs in Figures 4a and 4b
show actual output ripple waveforms with square wave
and triwave input ripple.
Output Voltage Reversal
The LT1175 is designed to tolerate an output voltage
reversal of up to 2V. Reversal might occur, for instance,
if the output was shorted to a positive 5V supply. This
would almost surely destroy IC devices connected to the
negative output. Reversal could also occur during startup if the positive supply came up first and loads were
connected between the positive and negative supplies.
For these reasons, it is always good design practice to
add a reverse biased diode from each regulator output to
ground to limit output voltage reversal. The diode should
be rated to handle full negative load current for start-up
situations, or the short-circuit current of the positive supply
if supply-to-supply shorts must be tolerated.
Input Voltage Lower Than Output
Linear Technology’s positive low dropout regulators
LT1121 and LT1129, will not draw large currents if the
input voltage is less than the output. These devices use a
lateral PNP power transistor structure that has 40V emitter
base breakdown voltage. The LT1175, however, uses an
NPN power transistor structure that has a parasitic diode

Applications Information
To estimate regulator output ripple under different
conditions, the following general comments should be
helpful:
1. Output ripple at high frequency is only weakly affected
by load current or output capacitor size for medium
to heavy loads. At very light loads (<10mA), higher
frequency ripple may be reduced by using larger output
capacitors.
2. A feedforward capacitor across the resistor divider used
with the adjustable part is effective in reducing ripple
only for output voltages greater than 5V and only for
frequencies less than 100kHz.
3. Input-to-output voltage differential has little effect on
ripple rejection until the regulator actually enters a
dropout condition of 0.2V to 0.6V.
If ripple rejection needs to be improved, an input filter can
be added. This filter can be a simple RC filter using a 1Ω
to 10Ω resistor. A 3.3Ω resistor for instance, combined
with a 0.3Ω ESR solid tantalum capacitor, will give an additional 20dB ripple rejection. The size of the resistor will
be dictated by maximum load current. If the maximum
voltage drop allowable across the resistor is “VR,” and
maximum load current is ILOAD, R = VR /ILOAD. At light
loads, larger resistors and smaller capacitors can be used
to save space. At heavier loads an inductor may have to
be used in place of the resistor. The value of the inductor
can be calculated from:
LFIL =
ESR
(
2π ( f) 10 rr / 20
)
ESR = Effective series resistance of filter capacitor. This
assumes that the capacitive reactance is small compared to ESR, a reasonable assumption for solid
tantalum capacitors above 2.2µF and 50kHz.
f

Example: ESR = 1.2Ω, f = 100kHz, rr = – 25dB.
L FIL =

5 
6.3  10  10 −25 / 20 

Solid tantalum capacitors are suggested for the filter to
keep filter Q fairly low. This prevents unwanted ringing at
the resonant frequency of the filter and oscillation problems
with the filter/regulator combination.
