Thermal Limiting
The LT ®1963 series are low dropout regulators optimized
for fast transient response. The devices are capable of
supplying 1.5A of output current with a dropout voltage of
340mV. Operating quiescent current is 1mA, dropping to
< 1µA in shutdown. Quiescent current is well controlled; it
does not rise in dropout as it does with many other
regulators. In addition to fast transient response, the
LT1963 regulators have very low output noise which
makes them ideal for sensitive RF supply applications.
Output voltage range is from 1.21V to 20V. The LT1963
regulators are stable with output capacitors as low as
10µF. Internal protection circuitry includes reverse battery
protection, current limiting, thermal limiting and reverse
current protection. The devices are available in fixed
output voltages of 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V and as an
adjustable device with a 1.21V reference voltage. The
LT1963 regulators are available in 5-lead TO-220, DD,
3-lead SOT-223 and 8-lead SO packages.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2: Absolute maximum input to output differential voltage can not be
achieved with all combinations of rated IN pin and OUT pin voltages. With
the IN pin at 20V, the OUT pin may not be pulled below 0V. The total
measured voltage from IN to OUT can not exceed ±20V.
Note 3: The LT1963 regulators are tested and specified under pulse load
conditions such that TJ ≈ TA. The LT1963 is 100% tested at
TA = 25°C. Performance at – 40°C and 125°C is assured by design,
characterization and correlation with statistical process controls.
Note 4: The LT1963 (adjustable version) is tested and specified for these
conditions with the ADJ pin connected to the OUT pin.
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: To satisfy requirements for minimum input voltage, the LT1963
(adjustable version) is tested and specified for these conditions with an
external resistor divider (two 4.12k resistors) for an output voltage of
2.4V. The external resistor divider will add a 300µA DC load on the output.
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 will be equal to: VIN – VDROPOUT.
Note 8: GND pin current is tested with VIN = VOUT(NOMINAL) + 1V and a
current source load. The GND pin current will decrease at higher input
voltages.
Note 9: ADJ pin bias current flows into the ADJ pin.
Note 10: SHDN pin current flows into the SHDN pin.
Note 11: Reverse output current is tested with the IN pin grounded and the
OUT pin forced to the rated output voltage. This current flows into the OUT
pin and out the GND pin.
Note 12. For the LT1963, LT1963-1.5 and LT1963-1.8 dropout voltage will
be limited by the minimum input voltage specification under some output
voltage/load conditions.
Note 13. For the ST package, the input reverse leakage current increases
due to the additional reverse leakage current for the SHDN pin, which is
tied internally to the IN pin.

OUT: Output. The output supplies power to the load. A
minimum output capacitor of 10µF is required to prevent
oscillations. Larger output capacitors will be
required for applications with large transient loads to limit
peak voltage transients. See the Applications Information
section for more information on output capacitance and
reverse output characteristics.
SENSE: Sense. For fixed voltage versions of the LT1963
(LT1963-1.8/LT1963-2.5/LT1963-3.3), the SENSE pin is
the input to the error amplifier. Optimum regulation will be
obtained at the point where the SENSE pin is connected to
the OUT pin of the regulator. In critical applications, small
voltage drops are caused by the resistance (RP) of PC traces
between the regulator and the load. These may be eliminated by connecting the SENSE pin to the output at the
load as shown in Figure 1 (Kelvin Sense Connection). Note
that the voltage drop across the external PC traces will add
to the dropout voltage of the regulator. The SENSE pin bias
current is 600µA at the nominal rated output voltage. The
SENSE pin can be pulled below ground (as in a dual supply
system where the regulator load is returned to a negative
supply) and still allow the device to start and operate.
ADJ: Adjust. For the adjustable LT1963, this is the input to
the error amplifier. This pin is internally clamped to ±7V.
It has a bias current of 3µA which flows into the pin. The
ADJ pin voltage is 1.21V referenced to ground and the
output voltage range is 1.21V to 20V.
SHDN: Shutdown. The SHDN pin is used to put the LT1963
regulators into a low power shutdown state. The output
will be off when the SHDN pin is pulled low. The SHDN pin
can be driven either by 5V logic or open-collector logic
with a pull-up resistor. The pull-up resistor is required to
supply the pull-up current of the open-collector gate,
normally several microamperes, and the SHDN pin current, typically 3µA. If unused, the SHDN pin must be
connected to VIN. The device will be in the low power
shutdown state if the SHDN pin is not connected.
IN: Input. Power is supplied to the device through the IN
pin. A bypass capacitor is required on this pin if the device
is more than six inches away from the main input filter
capacitor. In general, the output impedance of a battery
rises with frequency, so it is advisable to include a bypass
capacitor in battery-powered circuits. A bypass capacitor
in the range of 1µF to 10µF is sufficient. The LT1963 regulators are designed to withstand reverse voltages on the IN
pin with respect to ground and the OUT pin. In the case of
a reverse input, which can happen if a battery is plugged
in backwards, the device will act as if there is a diode in
series with its input. There will be no reverse current flow
into the regulator and no reverse voltage will appear at the
load. The device will protect both itself and the load.

The LT1963 series are 1.5A low dropout regulators optimized for fast transient response. The devices are capable
of supplying 1.5A at a dropout voltage of 350mV. The low
operating quiescent current (1mA) drops to less than 1µA
in shutdown. In addition to the low quiescent current, the
LT1963 regulators incorporate several protection features
which make them ideal for use in battery-powered systems. The devices are protected against both reverse input
and reverse output voltages. In battery backup applications where the output can be held up by a backup battery
when the input is pulled to ground, the LT1963-X acts like
it has a diode in series with its output and prevents reverse
current flow. Additionally, 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 20V
and still allow the device to start and operate.
Adjustable Operation
The adjustable version of the LT1963 has an output
voltage range of 1.21V to 20V. 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 voltage at the ADJ
pin at 1.21V referenced to ground. The current in R1 is
then equal to 1.21V/R1 and the current in R2 is the current
in R1 plus the ADJ pin bias current. The ADJ pin bias
current, 3µA at 25°C, flows through R2 into the ADJ pin.
The output voltage can be calculated using the formula in
Figure 2. The value of R1 should be less than 4.17k to
minimize errors in the output voltage caused by the ADJ
pin bias current. Note that in shutdown the output is turned
off and the divider current will be zero.

Figure 2. Adjustable Operation
The adjustable device is tested and specified with the ADJ
pin tied to the OUT pin for an output voltage of 1.21V.
Specifications for output voltages greater than 1.21V will
be proportional to the ratio of the desired output voltage to
1.21V: VOUT/1.21V. For example, load regulation for an
output current change of 1mA to 1.5A is – 3mV typical at
VOUT = 1.21V. At VOUT = 5V, load regulation is:
(5V/1.21V)(–3mV) = – 12.4mV
Output Capacitance and Transient Response
The LT1963 regulators are designed to be stable with a
wide range of output capacitors. The ESR of the output
capacitor affects stability, most notably with small capacitors. A minimum output capacitor of 10µF with an ESR in
the range of 50mΩ to 3Ω is recommended to prevent
oscillations. Larger values of output capacitance can decrease the peak deviations and provide improved transient
response for larger load current changes. Bypass capacitors, used to decouple individual components powered by
the LT1963, will increase the effective output capacitor
value.
Extra consideration must be given to the use of ceramic
capacitors. In some applications, the use of ceramic
capacitors with an ESR below 50mΩ can cause oscillations. Please consult our Applications Engineering department for help with any issues concerning the use of
ceramic output capacitors. Ceramic capacitors are manufactured with a variety of dielectrics, each with different
behavior over 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 strong voltage
and temperature coefficients as shown in Figures 3 and 4.
When used with a 5V regulator, a 10µF Y5V capacitor can
exhibit an effective value as low as 1µF to 2µF over the
operating temperature range. The 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.
Voltage and temperature coefficients are not the only
sources of problems. Some ceramic capacitors have a
piezoelectric response. A piezoelectric device generates

When power is first turned on, as the input voltage rises,
the output follows the input, allowing the regulator to start
up into very heavy loads. During the start-up, as the input
voltage is rising, the input-to-output voltage differential is
small, allowing the regulator to supply large output
currents. With a high input voltage, a problem can occur
wherein removal of an output short will not allow the
output voltage to recover. Other regulators, such as the
LT1085, also exhibit this phenomenon, so it is not unique
to the LT1963-X.

The problem occurs with a heavy output load when the
input voltage is high and the output voltage is low. Common situations are immediately after the removal of a
short-circuit or when the shutdown pin is pulled high after
the input voltage has already been turned on. The load line
for such a load may intersect the output current curve at
two points. If this happens, there are two stable output
operating points for the regulator. With this double intersection, the input power supply may need to be cycled
down to zero and brought up again to make the output
recover.

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.
Overload Recovery
Like many IC power regulators, the LT1963-X has safe
operating area protection. The safe area protection decreases the current limit as input-to-output voltage increases and keeps the power transistor inside a safe
operating region for all values of input-to-output voltage.
The protection is designed to provide some output current
at all values of input-to-output voltage up to the device
breakdown.
The LT1963 regulators have been designed to provide low
output voltage noise over the 10Hz to 100kHz bandwidth
while operating at full load. Output voltage noise is typically 40nV/√Hz over this frequency bandwidth for the
LT1963 (adjustable version). For higher output voltages
(generated by using a resistor divider), the output voltage
noise will be gained up accordingly. This results in RMS
noise over the 10Hz to 100kHz bandwidth of 14µVRMS for
the LT1963 increasing to 38µVRMS for the LT1963-3.3.
Higher values of output voltage noise may be measured
when care is not exercised with regards to circuit layout
and testing. Crosstalk from nearby traces can induce
unwanted noise onto the output of the LT1963-X. Power
supply ripple rejection must also be considered; the LT1963
regulators do not have unlimited power supply rejection
and will pass a small portion of the input noise through to
the output.

Thermal Considerations
The power handling capability of the device is limited by the
maximum rated junction temperature (125°C). The power
dissipated by the device is made up of two components:
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).
The GND pin current can be found using the GND Pin
Current curves in the Typical Performance Characteristics. Power dissipation will be equal to the sum of the two
components listed above.

The LT1963 series regulators have internal thermal limiting designed to protect the device during 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.
*Device is mounted on topside.
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.
Example: Given an output voltage of 3.3V, an input voltage
range of 4V to 6V, an output current range of 0mA to
500mA and a maximum ambient temperature of 50°C,
what will the maximum junction temperature be?
The following tables list thermal resistance for several
different board sizes and copper areas. All measurements

Thermal Resistance (Junction-to-Case) = 4°C/W
Calculating Junction Temperature
The power dissipated by the device will be equal to:
IOUT(MAX)(VIN(MAX) – VOUT) + IGND(VIN(MAX))
where,
IOUT(MAX) = 500mA
VIN(MAX) = 6V
IGND at (IOUT = 500mA, VIN = 6V) = 10mA
So,
P = 500mA(6V – 3.3V) + 10mA(6V) = 1.41W
Using a DD package, the thermal resistance will be in the
range of 23°C/W to 33°C/W depending on the copper
area. So the junction temperature rise above ambient will
be approximately equal to:
1.41W(28°C/W) = 39.5°C

Protection Features
The LT1963 regulators incorporate several protection
features which make them 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 devices are protected
against reverse input voltages, reverse output voltages
and reverse voltages from output to input.
Current limit protection and thermal overload protection
are intended to protect the device against current overload
conditions at the output of the device. For normal operation, the junction temperature should not exceed 125°C.
The input of the device will withstand reverse voltages of
20V. Current flow into the device will be limited to less than
1mA (typically less than 100µA) and no negative voltage
will appear at the output. The device will protect both itself
and the load. This provides protection against batteries
that can be plugged in backward.
The output of the LT1963 can be pulled below ground
without damaging the device. If the input is left open circuit
or grounded, the output can be pulled below ground by
20V. For fixed voltage versions, the output will act like a
large resistor, typically 5k or higher, limiting current flow
to typically less than 600µA. For adjustable versions, the
output will act like an open circuit; no current will flow out
of the pin. If the input is powered by a voltage source, the
output will source the short-circuit current of the device
and will protect itself by thermal limiting. In this case,
grounding the SHDN pin will turn off the device and stop
the output from sourcing the short-circuit current.
The ADJ pin of the adjustable device can be pulled above
or below ground by as much as 7V without damaging the
device. If the input is left open circuit or grounded, the ADJ
pin will act like an open circuit when pulled below ground
and like a large resistor (typically 5k) in series with a diode
when pulled above ground.
In situations where the ADJ pin is connected to a resistor
divider that would pull the ADJ pin above its 7V clamp
voltage if the output is pulled high, the ADJ pin input
current must be limited to less than 5mA. For example, a
resistor divider is used to provide a regulated 1.5V output
from the 1.21V reference when the output is forced to 20V.
The top resistor of the resistor divider must be chosen to
limit the current into the ADJ pin to less than 5mA when the
ADJ pin is at 7V. The 13V difference between OUT and ADJ
pins divided by the 5mA maximum current into the ADJ pin
yields a minimum top resistor value of 2.6k.
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 will follow
the curve shown in Figure 5.
When the IN pin of the LT1963 is forced below the OUT pin
or the OUT pin is pulled above the IN pin, input current will
typically drop to less than 2µA. This can happen if the
input of the device is connected to a discharged (low
voltage) battery and the output is held up by either a
backup battery or a second regulator circuit. The state of
the SHDN pin will have no effect on the reverse output
current when the output is pulled above the input.
