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.

Post Regulator for Switching Supply Noise Rejection
The LTC3025’s low quiescent current makes it an ideal
choice for use in battery-powered systems. For 3-cell
NiMH and single cell Li-Ion applications, the BIAS voltage
can be supplied directly from the battery while the input
can come from a high efficiency buck regulator, providing
a high efficiency, low noise output.
Other features include high output voltage accuracy,
excellent transient response, stability with ultralow ESR
ceramic capacitors as small as 1μF, short-circuit and
thermal overload protection and output current limiting.
The LTC3025 is available in a tiny, low profile (0.75mm)
6-lead DFN (2mm × 2mm) package.

Note 4: For the LTC3025, a regulated output voltage will only be available
when the minimum IN and BIAS Operating Voltages as well as the IN to
OUT and BIAS to OUT Dropout Voltages are all satisfied.
Note 5: 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 6: Dropout voltage is 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.
Note 7: The DFN output FET on-resistance in dropout is guaranteed by
correlation to wafer level measurements.
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: 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 3: The LTC3025 regulator is tested and specified under pulse
load conditions such that TJ ≈ TA. The LTC3025 is 100% production
tested at 25°C. Performance at –40°C and 125°C is assured by design,
characterization and correlation with statistical process control. The
LTC3025I is guaranteed to meet performance specifications over the full
–40°C and 125°C operating junction temperature range.

PIN FUNCTIONS
BIAS (Pin 1): BIAS Input Voltage. 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.

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).

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

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.

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

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. Note that bypass capacitors used to decouple
individual components powered by the LTC3025 will

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.

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.

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.
