This device supplies 500mA of output current with a typical dropout voltage of 160mV. The LT3021 is ideal for low input voltage to low output voltage applications, providing comparable electrical efficiency to that of a switching regulator. The LT3021 regulator optimizes stability and transient response with low ESR, ceramic output capacitors as small as 3.3μF. Other LT3021 features include 0.05% typical line regulation and 0.2% typical load regulation. In shutdown, quiescent current typically drops to 3μA. Internal protection circuitry includes reverse-battery protection, current limiting, thermal limiting with hysteresis, and reverse-current protection. The LT3021 is available as an adjustable output device with an output range down to the 200mV reference. Three fixed output voltages, 1.2V, 1.5V and 1.8V, are also available. The LT3021 regulator is available in the low profile (0.75mm) 16-pin (5mm × 5mm) DFN package with exposed pad and the 8-lead SO package.

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: The LT3021 regulators are tested and specified under pulse load conditions such that TJ ≈ TA. The LT3021E regulators are 100% tested at TA = 25°C. Performance at –40°C and 125°C is assured by design, characterization and correlation with statistical process controls. The LT3021I regulators are guaranteed over the full –40ºC to 125ºC operating junction temperature range. Note 3: 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. Note 4: Maximum junction temperature limits operating conditions. The regulated output voltage specification does not apply for all possible combinations of input voltage and output current. Limit the output current range if operating at maximum input voltage. Limit the input voltage range if operating at maximum output current. Note 5: Typically the LT3021 supplies 500mA output current with a 1V input supply. The guranteed minimum input voltage for 500mA output current is 1.10V. Note 6: The LT3021 is tested and specified for these conditions with an external resistor divider (20k and 30.1k) setting VOUT to 0.5V. The external resistor divider adds 10μA of output load current. The line regulation and load regulation specifications refer to the change in the 0.2V reference voltage, not the 0.5V output voltage. Specifications for fixed output voltage devices are referred to the output voltage. Note 7: Dropout voltage is the minimum input to output voltage differential needed to maintain regulation at a specified output current. In dropout the output voltage equals: (VIN – VDROPOUT). Note 8: GND pin current is tested with VIN = VOUT(NOMINAL) + 0.4V and a current source load. GND pin current will increase in dropout. See GND pin current curves in the Typical Performance Characteristics section. Note 9: Adjust pin bias current flows out of the ADJ pin. Note 10: Shutdown pin current flows into the SHDN pin. Note 11: Reverse output current is tested with IN grounded and OUT forced to the rated output voltage. This current flows into the OUT pin and out of the GND pin. For fixed voltage devices this includes the current in the output resistor divider. Note 12: The LT3021 is tested and specified for these conditions with an external resistor divider (20k and 100k) setting VOUT to 1.2V. The external resistor divider adds 10μA of load current. Note 13: Reverse current is higher for the case of (rated_output) < VOUT < VIN, because the no-load recovery circuitry is active in this region and is trying to restore the output voltage to its nominal value. Note 14: Minimum input voltage is the minimum voltage required by the control circuit to regulate the output voltage and supply the full 500mA rated current. This specification is tested at VOUT = 0.5V. At higher output voltages the minimum input voltage required for regulation will be equal to the regulated output voltage VOUT plus the dropout voltage.

Use a minimum output capacitor of 3.3μF to prevent oscillations. Applications with large load transients require larger output capacitors to limit peak voltage transients. See the Applications Information section for more information on output capacitance and reverse output characteristics. SENSE (Pin 7/Pin 3, Fixed Voltage Device Only): This pin is the sense point for the internal resistor divider. It should be tied directly to the OUT pins for best results. ADJ (Pin 7/Pin 3): This pin is the inverting terminal to the error amplifier. Its typical input bias current of 20nA flows out of the pin (see curve of ADJ Pin Bias Current vs Temperature in the Typical Performance Characteristics). The ADJ pin reference voltage is 200mV (referred to GND). AGND (Pin 8/Pin 4): Ground. PGND (Pins 10, 17/Pin 6): Ground. SHDN (Pin 9/Pin 5): The SHDN pin puts the LT3021 into a low power state. Pulling the SHDN pin low turns the output off. Drive the SHDN pin with either logic or an open collector/drain device with a pull-up resistor. The pull-up resistor supplies the pull-up current to the open collector/ BLOCK DIAGRAM drain logic, normally several microamperes, and the SHDN pin current, typically 2.5μA. If unused, connect the SHDN pin to VIN. The LT3021 does not function if the SHDN pin is not connected. IN (Pins 12, 14/Pin 8): These pins supply power to the device. The LT3021 requires a bypass capacitor at IN if it is more than six inches away from the main input filter capacitor. The output impedance of a battery rises with frequency, so include a bypass capacitor in battery-powered circuits. A bypass capacitor in the range of 3.3μF to 10μF suffices. The LT3021 withstands reverse voltages on the IN pin with respect to ground and the OUT pin. In the case of a reversed input, which occurs if a battery is plugged in backwards, the LT3021 acts as if a diode is in series with its input. No reverse current flows into the LT3021 and no reverse voltage appears at the load. The device protects itself and the load. EXPOSED PAD (Pin 17, DH16 Package Only): Ground. Solder Pin 17 to the PCB ground. Connect directly to Pins 8, 10 for best performance. NC (Pins 1, 2, 5, 6, 11, 13, 15, 16/Pins 1, 7): No Connect.

Devices supply 500mA of output current and dropout voltage is typically 155mV. Quiescent current is typically 120μA and drops to 3μA in shutdown. The LT3021 incorporates several protection features, making it ideal for use in battery-powered systems. The device protects itself against reverse-input and reverse-output voltages. In battery backup applications where the output is held up by a backup battery when the input is pulled to ground, the LT3021 acts as if a diode is in series with its output which prevents reverse current flow. In dual supply applications where the regulator load is returned to a negative supply, the output can be pulled below ground by as much as 10V without affecting start-up or normal operation. Adjustable Operation The LT3021’s output voltage range is 0.2V to 9.5V. Figure 1 shows that the output voltage is set by the ratio of two external resistors. The device regulates the output to maintain the ADJ pin voltage at 200mV referenced to ground. The current in R1 equals 200mV/R1 and the current in R2 is the current in R1 minus the ADJ pin bias current. The ADJ pin bias current of 20nA flows out of the pin. Use the formula in Figure 1 to calculate output voltage. An R1 value of 20k sets the resistor divider current to 10μA. Note that in shutdown the output is turned off and the divider current is zero. Curves of ADJ Pin Voltage vs Temperature and ADJ Pin Bias Current vs Temperature appear in the Typical Performance Characteristics section.

Adjustable Operation Specifications for output voltages greater than 200mV are proportional to the ratio of desired output voltage to 200mV; (VOUT/200mV). For example, load regulation for an output current change of 1mA to 500mA is typically 0.4mV at VADJ = 200mV. At VOUT = 1.5V, load regulation is: (1.5V/200mV) • (0.4mV) = 3mV Output Capacitance and Transient Response The LT3021’s design is stable with a wide range of output capacitors, but is optimized for low ESR ceramic capacitors. The output capacitor’s ESR affects stability, most notably with small value capacitors. Use a minimum output capacitor of 3.3μF with an ESR of 0.2Ω or less to prevent oscillations. The LT3021 is a low voltage device, and output load transient response is a function of output capacitance. Larger values of output capacitance decrease the peak deviations and provide improved transient response for larger load current changes. For output capacitor values greater than 22μF a small feedforward capacitor with a value of 300pF across the upper divider resistor (R2 in Figure 1) is required. Under extremely low output current conditions (ILOAD < 30μA) a low frequency small signal oscillation (200Hz/8mVP-P at 1.2V output) can occur. A minimum load of 100μA is recommended to prevent this instability. Give extra consideration to the use of ceramic capacitors. Manufacturers make ceramic capacitors with a variety of dielectrics, each with a different behavior across temperature and applied voltage. The most common dielectrics are Z5U, Y5V, X5R and X7R. The Z5U and Y5V dielectrics provide high C-V products in a small package at low cost, but exhibit strong voltage and temperature coefficients. The X5R and X7R dielectrics yield highly stable characterisitics and are more suitable for use as the output capacitor at fractionally increased cost. The X5R and X7R dielectrics both exhibit excellent voltage coefficient characteristics. The X7R type works over a larger temperature range and exhibits better temperature stability whereas X5R is less expensive and is available in higher values. Figures 2 and 3 show voltage coefficient and temperature coefficient comparisons between Y5V and X5R material. 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. The resulting voltages produced can cause appreciable 3021fc 10 LT3021/LT3021-1.2/ LT3021-1.5/LT3021-1.8 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION 20 BOTH CAPACITORS ARE 16V, 1210 CASE SIZE, 10μF CHANGE IN VALUE (%) 0 X5R –20 1mV/DIV –40 –60 Y5V –80 –100 VOUT = 1.3V COUT = 10F ILOAD = 0 0 2 4 14 8 6 10 12 DC BIAS VOLTAGE (V) 16 3021 F02 Figure 2.

Noise Resulting from Tapping on a Ceramic Capacitor To eliminate this problem, the LT3021 incorporates a no-load or light-load recovery circuit. This circuit is a voltage-controlled current sink that significantly improves the light load transient response time by discharging the output capacitor quickly and then turning off. The current sink turns on when the output voltage exceeds 6% of the nominal output voltage. The current sink level is then proportional to the overdrive above the threshold up to a maximum of approximately 15mA. Consult the curve in the Typical Performance Characteristics for the No-Load Recovery Threshold. amounts of noise. A ceramic capacitor produced Figure 4’s trace in response to light tapping from a pencil. Similar vibration induced behavior can masquerade as increased output voltage noise. If external circuitry forces the output above the no load recovery circuit’s threshold, the current sink turns on in an attempt to restore the output voltage to nominal. The current sink remains on until the external circuitry releases the output. However, if the external circuitry pulls the output voltage above the input voltage, or the input falls below the output, the LT3021 turns the current sink off and shuts down the bias current/reference generator circuitry. No-Load/Light-Load Recovery Thermal Considerations A transient load step occurs when the output current changes from its maximum level to zero current or a very small load current. The output voltage responds by overshooting until the regulator lowers the amount of current it delivers to the new level. The regulator loop response time and the amount of output capacitance control the amount of overshoot. Once the regulator has decreased its output current, the current provided by the resistor divider (which sets VOUT) is the only current remaining to discharge the output capacitor from the level to which it overshot. The amount of time it takes for the output voltage to recover easily extends to milliseconds with microamperes of divider current and a few microfarads of output capacitance. The LT3021’s power handling capability is limited by its maximum rated junction temperature of 125°C. The power dissipated by the device is comprised of two components: –100 –50 –25 50 25 75 0 TEMPERATURE (°C) 100 125 3021 F03 Figure 3. Ceramic Capacitor Temperature Characteristics 1. Output current multiplied by the input-to-output voltage differential: (IOUT)(VIN – VOUT) and 2. GND pin current multiplied by the input voltage: (IGND)(VIN). GND pin current is found by examining the GND pin current curves in the Typical Performance Characteristics. Power dissipation is equal to the sum of the two components listed above. 3021fc 11 LT3021/LT3021-1.2/ LT3021-1.5/LT3021-1.8 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION The LT3021 regulator has internal thermal limiting (with hysteresis) designed to protect the device during overload conditions. For normal continuous conditions, do not exceed the maximum junction temperature rating of 125°C. Carefully consider all sources of thermal resistance from junction to ambient including other heat sources mounted in proximity to the LT3021. The underside of the LT3021 DH package has exposed metal (14mm2) from the lead frame to where the die is attached. This allows heat to directly transfer from the die junction to the printed circuit board metal to control maximum operating junction temperature. The dual-in-line pin arrangement allows metal to extend beyond the ends of the package on the topside (component side) of a PCB. Connect this metal to GND on the PCB. The multiple IN and OUT pins of the LT3021 also assist in spreading heat to the PCB. The LT3021 S8 package has Pin 4 fused with the lead frame. This also allows heat to transfer from the die to the printed circuit board metal, therefore reducing the thermal resistance. Copper board stiffeners and plated throughholes 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 for two different packages. Measurements were taken in still air on 3/32” FR-4 board with one ounce copper. Table 1.

The power dissipated by the device is equal to: IOUT(MAX)(VIN(MAX) – VOUT) + IGND(VIN(MAX)) where IOUT(MAX) = 500mA VIN(MAX) = 1.98V IGND at (IOUT = 500mA, VIN = 1.98V) = 10mA so P = 500mA(1.98V – 1.2V) + 10mA(1.98V) = 0.41W The thermal resistance is in the range of 35°C/W to 70°C/W depending on the copper area. So the junction temperature rise above ambient is approximately equal to: 0.41W(52.5°C/W) = 21.5°C The maximum junction temperature equals the maximum junction temperature rise above ambient plus the maximum ambient temperature or: TJMAX = 21.5°C + 70°C = 91.5°C Protection Features The LT3021 incorporates several protection features that 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 also protects against reverseinput voltages, reverse-output voltages and reverse output-to-input voltages. Current limit protection and thermal overload protection protect the device against current overload conditions at the output of the device. For normal operation, do not exceed a junction temperature of 125°C. The IN pins of the device withstand reverse voltages of 10V. The LT3021 limits current flow to less than 1μA and no negative voltage appears at OUT. The device protects both itself and the load against batteries that are plugged in backwards. 3021fc LT3021/LT3021-1.2/ LT3021-1.5/LT3021-1.8 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION The LT3021 incurs no damage if OUT is pulled below ground. If IN is left open circuit or grounded, OUT can be pulled below ground by 10V. No current flows from the pass transistor connected to OUT. However, current flows in (but is limited by) the resistor divider that sets the output voltage. Current flows from the bottom resistor in the divider and from the ADJ pin’s internal clamp through the top resistor in the divider to the external circuitry pulling OUT below ground. If IN is powered by a voltage source, OUT sources current equal to its current limit capability and the LT3021 protects itself by thermal limiting. In this case, grounding SHDN turns off the LT3021 and stops OUT from sourcing current. The LT3021 incurs no damage if the ADJ pin is pulled above or below ground by 10V. If IN is left open circuit or grounded and ADJ is pulled above ground, ADJ acts like a 25k resistor in series with a 1V clamp (one Schottky diode in series with one diode). ADJ acts like a 25k resistor in series with a Schottky diode if pulled below ground. If IN is powered by a voltage source and ADJ is pulled below its reference voltage, the LT3021 attempts to source its current limit capability at OUT. The output voltage increases to VIN – VDROPOUT with VDROPOUT set by whatever load current the LT3021 supports. This condition can potentially damage external circuitry powered by the LT3021 if the output voltage increases to an unregulated high voltage. If IN is powered by a voltage source and ADJ is pulled above its reference voltage, two situations can occur. If ADJ is pulled slightly above its reference voltage, the LT3021 turns off the pass transistor, no output current is sourced and the output voltage decreases to either the voltage at ADJ or less. If ADJ is pulled above its no load recovery threshold, the no load recovery circuitry turns on and attempts to sink current. OUT is actively pulled low and the output voltage clamps at a Schottky diode above ground. Please note that the behavior described above applies to the LT3021 only. If a resistor divider is connected under the same conditions, there will be additional V/R current. 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. In the case where the input is grounded, there is less than 1μA of reverse output current. If the LT3021 IN pin is forced below the OUT pin or the OUT pin is pulled above the IN pin, input current drops to less than 10μA typically. This occurs if the LT3021 input is connected to a discharged (low voltage) battery and either a backup battery or a second regulator circuit holds up the output. The state of the SHDN pin has no effect on the reverse output current if OUT is pulled above IN. Input Capacitance and Stability The LT3021 is designed to be stable with a minimum capacitance of 3.3μF placed at the IN pin. Ceramic capacitors with very low ESR may be used. However, in cases where a long wire is used to connect a power supply to the input of the LT3021 (and also from the ground of the LT3021 back to the power supply ground), use of low value input capacitors combined with an output load current of 20mA or greater may result in an unstable application. This is due to the inductance of the wire forming an LC tank circuit with the input capacitor and not a result of the LT3021 being unstable. The self-inductance, or isolated inductance, of a wire is directly proportional to its length. However, the diameter of a wire does not have a major influence on its self-inductance. For example, the self inductance of a 2-AWG isolated wire with a diameter of 0.26 in. is about half the inductance of a 30-AWG wire with a diameter of 0.01 in. One foot of 30-AWG wire has 465nH of self inductance. The overall self-inductance of a wire can be reduced in two ways. One is to divide the current flowing towards the LT3021 between two parallel conductors and flows in the same direction in each. In this case, the farther the wires are placed apart from each other, the more inductance will be reduced, up to a 50% reduction when placed a few inches apart. Splitting the wires basically connects two equal inductors in parallel. However, when placed in close proximity from each other, mutual inductance is added to the overall self inductance of the wires. The most effective way to reduce overall inductance is to place the forward and return-current conductors (the wire for the input and the wire for ground) in very close proximity. Two 30-AWG wires separated by 0.02 in. reduce the overall self-inductance to about one-fifth of a single isolated wire. 3021fc 13 LT3021/LT3021-1.2/ LT3021-1.5/LT3021-1.8 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION If the LT3021 is powered by a battery mounted in close proximity on the same circuit board, a 3.3μF input capacitor is sufficient for stability. However, if the LT3021 is powered by a distant supply, use a larger value input capacitor following the guideline of roughly 1μF (in addition to the 3.3μF minimum) per 8 inches of wire length. As power supply output impedance may vary, the minimum input capacitance needed to stabilize the application may also vary. Extra capacitance may also be placed directly on the output of the power supply; however, this will require an order of magnitude more capacitance as opposed to placing extra capacitance in close proximity to the LT3021. Furthermore, series resistance may be placed between the supply and the input of the LT3021 to stabilize the application; as little as 0.1Ω to 0.5Ω will suffice.
