The LT®3029 is a dual, micropower, low noise, low dropout linear regulator. The device operates either with a
common input supply or independent input supplies for
each channel, over an input voltage range of 1.8V to 20V.
Each output supplies up to 500mA of output current with
a typical dropout voltage of 300mV. Quiescent current is
well controlled in dropout. With an external 10nF bypass
capacitor, output noise is only 20μVRMS over a 10Hz to
100kHz bandwidth. Designed for use in battery-powered
systems, the low 55μA quiescent current per channel makes
it an ideal choice. In shutdown, quiescent current drops to
less than 1μA. Shutdown control is independent for each
channel, allowing for flexible power management.
The LT3029 optimizes stability and transient response with
low ESR ceramic output capacitors, requiring a minimum
of only 3.3μF. The regulator does not require the addition
of ESR, as is common with other regulators.
Internal circuitry provides reverse-battery protection,
reverse-current protection, current limiting with foldback
and thermal shutdown. The device is available as an
adjustable output voltage device with a 1.215V reference
voltage. The LT3029 is offered in the thermally enhanced
16-lead MSOP and 16-lead, low profile (4mm × 3mm ×
0.75mm) DFN packages.

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 LT3029 is tested and specified under pulse load conditions
such that TJ ≈ TA. The LT3029E is 100% tested at TA = 25°C. Performance
of the LT3029E over the full –40°C to 125°C operating junction
temperature range is assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls. The LT3029I is guaranteed over the full
–40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range. The LT3029MP is
100% tested and guaranteed over the –55°C to 125°C operating junction
temperature range. The LT3029H is tested at 150°C operating junction
temperature. High junction temperatures degrade operating lifetimes.
Operating lifetime is derated at junction temperatures greater than 125°C.

Note 3: The LT3029 is tested and specified for these conditions with the
ADJ1/ADJ2 pin connected to the corresponding OUT1/OUT2 pin.
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. When operating at
maximum input voltage, limit the output current range. When operating at
maximum output current, limit the input voltage range.
Note 5: To satisfy minimum input voltage requirements, the LT3029 is
tested and specified for these conditions with an external resistor divider
(two 243k resistors) for an output voltage of 2.437V. The external resistor
divider adds 5μA of DC load on the output.
Note 6: 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.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Note 7: GND pin current is tested with VIN = 2.437V and a current source
load. This means the device is tested while operating in its dropout region
or at the minimum input voltage specification. This is the worst-case
GND pin current. The GND pin current decreases slightly at higher input
voltages. Total GND pin current equals the sum of output 1 and output 2
GND pin currents.
Note 8: ADJ1/ADJ2 pin bias current flows into the pin.
Note 9: The LT3029 contains current limit foldback circuitry. See the
Typical Performance Characteristics for current limit as a function of the
VIN – VOUT differential voltage.
Note 10: SHDN1/ SHDN2 pin current flows into the pin.
Note 11: The LT3029 minimum input voltage specification limits dropout
voltage under some output voltage/load conditions. See the curve of
Minimum Input Voltage in the Typical Performance Characteristics.
Note 12: The LT3029 includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature exceeds the maximum operating junction temperature when
overtemperature protection is active. Continuous operation above the
specified maximum operating junction temperature may impair device
reliability.

LT3029
PIN FUNCTIONS
BYP1/BYP2 (Pin 1/Pin 8): Bypass. Use the BYP1/BYP2
pins to bypass the reference of the LT3029 regulator and
achieve low output noise performance. Internal circuitry
clamps the BYP1/BYP2 pins to ±0.6V (one VBE) from
ground. A small capacitor from the corresponding output
to this pin bypasses the reference to lower the output
voltage noise. Using a maximum value of 10nF reduces
the output voltage noise to a typical 20μVRMS over a 10Hz
to 100kHz bandwidth. If not used, this pin must be left
unconnected.
Include a bypass capacitor in battery-powered circuits,
as a battery’s output impedance rises with frequency. A
bypass capacitor in the range of 1μF to 10μF suffices. The
LT3029’s design withstands reverse voltages on the IN pins
with respect to ground and the OUT pins. In the case of
a reversed input, which occurs if a battery is plugged in
backwards, the LT3029 acts as if a diode is in series with
its input. No reverse current flows into the LT3029 and no
reverse voltage appears at the load. The device protects
itself and the load.
NC (Pin 2): No Connect. This pin is not connected to
any internal circuitry. It may be floated, tied to VIN or tied
to GND.
SHDN1 / SHDN2 (Pin 15/Pin 10): Shutdown. Pulling the
SHDN1 or SHDN2 pin low puts its corresponding LT3029
channel into a low power state and turns its output off. The
SHDN1 and SHDN2 pins are completely independent of
each other, and each SHDN pin only affects operation on
its corresponding channel. Drive the SHDN1 and SHDN2
pins with either logic or an open collector/drain with pull-up
resistors. The resistors supply the pull-up current to the
open collectors/drains and the SHDN1 or SHDN2 current,
typically less than 1μA. If unused, connect the SHDN1 and
SHDN2 to their corresponding IN pins. Each channel will
be in its low power shutdown state if its corresponding
SHDN pin is not connected.
OUT1/OUT2 (Pins 3, 4/Pins 6, 7): Output. The outputs
supply power to the loads. A minimum 3.3μF output capacitor prevents oscillations on each output. Applications
with large output load transients require larger values of
output capacitance to limit peak voltage transients. See
the Applications Information section for more on output
capacitance and reverse output characteristics.
GND (Pin 5, 17): Ground. The exposed pad (Pin 17) of
the DFN and MSOP packages is an electrical connection
to GND. To ensure proper electrical and thermal performance, solder Pin 17 to the PCB ground and tie directly
to Pin 5. Connect the bottom of the output voltage setting
resistor divider directly to GND (Pin 5) for optimum load
regulation performance.
IN1/IN2 (Pins 13, 14/Pins 11, 12): Inputs. The IN1/IN2
pins supply power to each channel. The LT3029 requires
a bypass capacitor at the IN1/IN2 pins if located more
than six inches away from the main input filter capacitor.
ADJ1/ADJ2: (Pin 16/Pin 9) Adjust Pin. These are the error
amplifier inputs. These pins are internally clamped to ±9V.
A typical input bias current of 30nA flows into the pins
(see curve of ADJ1/ADJ2 Pin Bias Current vs Temperature
in the Typical Performance Characteristics section). The
ADJ1 and ADJ2 pin voltage is 1.215V referenced to ground
and the output voltage range is 1.215V to 19.5V.
3029f

LT3029
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The LT3029 is a dual 500mA/500mA low dropout regulator
with independent inputs, micropower quiescent current
and shutdown. The device supplies up to 500mA from each
channel’s output at a typical dropout voltage of 300mV.
The two regulators share a common GND pin and are
thermally coupled. However, the two inputs and outputs of
the LT3029 operate independently. Each channel can be
shut down independently, but a thermal shutdown fault
on either channel shuts off the output on both channels.
The addition of a 10nF reference bypass capacitor lowers
output voltage noise to 20μVRMS over a 10Hz to 100kHz
bandwidth. Additionally, the reference bypass capacitor
improves transient response of the regulator, lowering
the settling time for transient load conditions. The low
operating quiescent current (55μA per channel) drops to
less than 1μA in shutdown. In addition to the low quiescent current, the LT3029 regulator incorporates several
protection features that make it ideal for use in batterypowered systems. Most importantly, the device protects
itself against reverse input voltages. Current limiting with
foldback necessitates a minimum load current of 20μA
for input/output voltage differentials of more than 10V to
keep the output regulated.
Adjustable Operation
Each of the LT3029’s channels has an output voltage range
of 1.215V to 19.5V. Figure 1 illustrates that output voltage
is set by the ratio of two external resistors. The device
regulates the output to maintain the corresponding ADJ
pin voltage at 1.215V referenced to ground. R1’s current
equals 1.215V/R1. R2’s current equals R1’s current plus
the ADJ pin bias current. The ADJ pin bias current, 30nA at
25°C, flows through R2 into the ADJ pin. Use the formula
in Figure 1 to calculate output voltage. Linear Technology
recommends that the value of R1 be less than 243k to
minimize errors in the output voltage due to the ADJ pin bias
current. In shutdown, the output turns off and the divider
current is zero. Curves of ADJ Pin Voltage vs Temperature

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Bypass Capacitance and Low Noise Performance
Output Capacitance and Transient Response
Using a bypass capacitor connected between a channel’s
BYP pin and its corresponding OUT pin significantly lowers LT3029 output voltage noise, but is not required in
all applications. Linear Technology recommends a good
quality low leakage capacitor. This capacitor bypasses
the regulator’s reference, providing a low frequency noise
pole. A 10nF bypass capacitor introduces a noise pole that
decreases output voltage noise to as low as 20μVRMS.
Using a bypass capacitor provides the added benefit of
improving transient response. With no bypass capacitor,
and a 10μF output capacitor, a 100mA to 500mA load step
settles to within 1% of its final value in approximately
100μs. With the addition of a 10nF bypass capacitor and
evaluating the same load step, output voltage excursion
stays within 1% (see Transient Response in the Typical
Performance Characteristics section). Using a bypass
capacitor makes regulator start-up time proportional to
the value of the bypass capacitor. For example, a 10nF
bypass capacitor and 10μF output capacitor slow start-up
time to 15ms.
The LT3029 design is stable with a wide range of output
capacitors. The ESR of the output capacitor affects stability, most notably with small capacitors. Linear Technology
recommends a minimum output capacitor of 3.3μF with
an ESR of 3Ω, or less, to prevent oscillations. The LT3029
is a micropower device, and output 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.
Ceramic capacitors require extra consideration. Manufacturers make ceramic capacitors with a variety of dielectrics,
each with different behavior across temperature and
applied voltage. The most common dielectrics specify
the EIA temperature characteristic codes of Z5U, Y5V,
X5R and X7R. Z5U and Y5V dielectrics provide high C-V
products in a small package at low cost, but exhibit strong
voltage and temperature coefficients, as shown in Figures
2 and 3. When used with a 5V regulator, a 16V 10μF Y5V
capacitor can exhibit an effective value as low as 1μF to

2μF for the applied DC bias voltage and over the operating temperature range. X5R and X7R dielectrics result in
more stable characteristics and are 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.
Exercise care even when using X5R and X7R capacitors;
the X5R and X7R codes only specify operating temperature
range and maximum capacitance change over temperature.
Capacitance change due to DC bias (voltage coefficient)
with X5R and X7R capacitors is better than with Y5V and
Z5U capacitors, but can still be significant enough to drop
capacitor values below appropriate levels. Capacitor DC
bias characteristics tend to improve as case size increases.
Linear Technology recommends verifying expected versus
actual capacitance values at operating voltage in situ for
an application.
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
amounts of noise, especially when a ceramic capacitor is
used for noise bypassing. A ceramic capacitor produced

Similar vibration induced behavior can masquerade as
increased output voltage noise.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Thermal Considerations
The LT3029’s power handling capability limits the maximum
rated junction temperature (125°C, LT3029E/LT3029I/
LT3029MP or 150°C, LT3029H). Two components comprise
the power dissipated by each channel:
1. Output current multiplied by the input/output voltage
differential: (IOUT)(VIN – VOUT), and
2. GND pin current multiplied by the input voltage:
(IGND)(VIN).
Ground pin current is found by examining the GND Pin
Current curves in the Typical Performance Characteristics
section.
Power dissipation for each channel equals the sum of the
two components listed above. Total power dissipation for
the LT3029 equals the sum of the power dissipated by
each channel.
The LT3029’s internal thermal shutdown circuitry protects
both channels of the device if either channel experiences
an overload or fault condition. Activation of the thermal
shutdown circuitry turns both channels off. If the overload
or fault condition is removed, both outputs are allowed
to turn back on. For continuous normal conditions, do
not exceed the maximum junction temperature rating of
125°C (LT3029E/LT3029I/LT3029MP) or 150°C (LT3029H).
Carefully consider all sources of thermal resistance from
junction-to-ambient, including additional heat sources
mounted in proximity to the LT3029. For surface mount
devices, use the heat spreading capabilities of the PC board
and its copper traces to accomplish heat sinking. Copper
board stiffeners and plated through-holes can also spread
the heat generated by power devices.
The following tables list thermal resistance as a function
of copper area in a fixed board size. All measurements
were taken in still air on a four-layer FR-4 board with 1oz
solid internal planes, and 2oz external trace planes with a
total board thickness of 1.6mm. For further information
on thermal resistance and using thermal information, refer
to JEDEC standard JESD51, notably JESD51-12.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Calculating Junction Temperature
Protection Features
Example: Channel 1’s output voltage is set to 1.8V. Channel 2’s output voltage is set to 1.5V. Each channel’s input
voltage is 2.5V. Each channel’s output current range is
0mA to 500mA. The application has a maximum ambient
temperature of 50°C. What is the LT3029’s maximum
junction temperature?
The LT3029 regulator 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 protects itself against reverse
input voltages and reverse voltages from output to input.
The two regulators have independent inputs, a common
GND pin and are thermally coupled. However, the two
channels of the LT3029 operate independently. Each
channel’s output can be shut down independently, and
a fault condition on one output does not affect the other
output electrically, unless the thermal shutdown circuitry
is activated.
The power dissipated by each channel equals:
IOUT(MAX)(VIN – VOUT) + IGND(VIN)
where for each output:
IOUT(MAX) = 500mA
VIN = 2.5V
IGND at (IOUT = 500mA, VIN = 2.5V) = 8.5mA
So, for output 1:
P = 500mA (2.5V – 1.8V) + 8.5mA (2.5V) = 0.37W
For output 2:
P = 500mA (2.5V – 1.5V) + 8.5mA (2.5V) = 0.52W
The thermal resistance is in the range of 35°C/W to 40°C/W,
depending on the copper area. So, the junction temperature
rise above ambient temperature approximately equals:
(0.37W + 0.52W) 39°C/W = 34.7°C
The maximum junction temperature then equals the maximum ambient temperature plus the maximum junction
temperature rise above ambient temperature, or:
TJMAX = 50°C + 34.7°C = 84.7°C
Current limit protection and thermal overload protection
protect the device against current overload conditions at
each output of the LT3029. For normal operation, do not
allow the junction temperature to exceed 125°C (LT3029E/
LT3029I/LT3029MP) or 150°C (LT3029H). The typical thermal shutdown temperature threshold is 165°C and the
circuitry incorporates approximately 5°C of hysteresis.
Each channel’s input withstands reverse voltages of 22V.
Current flow into the device is limited to less than 1mA
(typically less than 100μA) and no negative voltage appears
at the respective channel’s output. The device protects
both itself and the load against batteries that are plugged
in backwards.
The LT3029 incurs no damage if either channel’s output
is pulled below ground. If the input is left open-circuit,
or grounded, the output can be pulled below ground by

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
22V. The output acts like an open circuit, and no current
flows from the output. However, current flows in (but
is limited by) the external resistor divider that sets the
output voltage.
into the ADJ pin to less than 5mA when the ADJ pin is
at 9V. The 11V difference between the OUT and ADJ pins
divided by the 5mA maximum current into the ADJ pin
yields a minimum top resistor value of 2.2k.
The LT3029 incurs no damage if either ADJ pin is pulled
above or below ground by 9V. If the input is left open
circuit or grounded, the ADJ pins perform like an open
circuit down to –1.5V, and then like a 1.2k resistor down
to –9V when pulled below ground. When pulled above
ground, the ADJ pins perform like an open circuit up to
0.5V, then like a 5.7k resistor up to 3V, then like a 1.8k
resistor up to 9V.
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. Current flow back into the output follows the
curve shown in Figure 5.
If either of the LT3029’s IN pins is forced below its corresponding OUT pin, or the OUT pin is pulled above its
corresponding IN pin, input current for that channel typically drops to less than 2μA. This occurs if the IN pin 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 that channel’s SHDN pin has no
effect on the reverse output current if the output is pulled
above the input.
In situations where an ADJ pin connects to a resistor
divider that would pull the pin above its 9V clamp voltage if the output is pulled high, the ADJ pin input current
must be limited to less than 5mA. For example, assume
a resistor divider sets the regulated output voltage to
1.5V, and the output is forced to 20V. The top resistor of
the resistor divider must be chosen to limit the current
