LT3027 Dual 100mA, Low Dropout, Low Noise, Micropower Regulator with Independent Inputs U FEATURES DESCRIPTIO ■ The LT ®3027 is a dual, micropower, low noise, low dropout regulator with independent inputs. With an external 0.01µF bypass capacitor, output noise is a low 20µVRMS over a 10Hz to 100kHz bandwidth. Designed for use in battery-powered systems, the low 25µA quiescent current per channel makes it an ideal choice. In shutdown, quiescent current drops to less than 0.1µA. Shutdown control is independent for each channel, allowing for flexibility in power management. The device is capable of operating over an input voltage from 1.8V to 20V, and can supply 100mA of output current from each channel with a dropout voltage of 300mV. Quiescent current is well controlled in dropout. The LT3027 regulator is stable with output capacitors as low as 1µF. Small ceramic capacitors can be used without the series resistance required by other regulators. Internal protection circuitry includes reverse battery protection, current limiting and thermal limiting protection. The device is available as an adjustable device with a 1.22V reference voltage. The LT3027 regulator is available in the thermally enhanced 10-lead MSOP and low profile (0.75mm) 3mm × 3mm DFN packages. ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Low Noise: 20µVRMS (10Hz to 100kHz) Low Quiescent Current: 25µA/Channel Independent Inputs Wide Input Voltage Range: 1.8V to 20V Output Current: 100mA/Channel Very Low Shutdown Current: <0.1µA Low Dropout Voltage: 300mV at 100mA Adjustable Output from 1.22V to 20V Stable with 1µF Output Capacitor Stable with Aluminum, Tantalum or Ceramic Capacitors Reverse Battery Protected No Protection Diodes Needed Overcurrent and Overtemperature Protected Thermally Enhanced 10-Lead MSOP and DFN Packages U APPLICATIO S ■ ■ ■ ■ Cellular Phones Pagers Battery-Powered Systems Frequency Synthesizers Wireless Modems , LTC and LT are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.

These are the inputs to the error amplifiers. These pins are internally clamped to ±7V. They have a bias current of 30nA which flows into the pin (see curve of ADJ1/ADJ2 Pin Bias Current vs Temperature in the Typical Performance Characteristics section). The ADJ1 and ADJ2 pin voltage is 1.22V referenced to ground and the output voltage range is 1.22V to 20V. BYP1/BYP2 (Pins 5/1): Bypass. The BYP1/BYP2 pins are used to bypass the reference of the LT3027 regulator to achieve low noise performance from the regulator. The BYP1/BYP2 pins are clamped internally to ±0.6V (one VBE) from ground. A small capacitor from the corresponding output to this pin will bypass the reference to lower the output voltage noise. A maximum value of 0.01µF can be used for reducing output voltage noise to a typical 20µVRMS over a 10Hz to 100kHz bandwidth. If not used, this pin must be left unconnected. OUT1/OUT2 (Pins 6/10): Output. The outputs supply power to the loads. A minimum output capacitor of 1µF 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. SHDN1/SHDN2 (Pins 7/3): Shutdown. The SHDN1/SHDN2 pins are used to put the corresponding channel of the LT3027 regulator into a low power shutdown state. The output will be off when the pin is pulled low. The SHDN1/SHDN2 pins can be driven either by 5V logic or open-collector logic with pull-up resistors. The pull-up resistors are required to supply the pull-up current of the open-collector gates, normally several microamperes, and the SHDN1/SHDN2 pin current, typically 1µA. If unused, the pin must be connected to VIN. The device will not function if the SHDN1/SHDN2 pins are not connected. IN1/IN2 (Pins 8/9): Inputs. Power is supplied to the device through the IN pins. 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 LT3027 regulator is 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. Exposed Pad (Pin 11): Ground. This pin must be soldered to the PCB and electrically connected to ground. 3027f 8 LT3027 U W U U APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO The LT3027 is a dual 100mA low dropout regulator with independent inputs, micropower quiescent current and shutdown. The device is capable of supplying 100mA per channel at a dropout voltage of 300mV. Output voltage noise can be lowered to 20µVRMS over a 10Hz to 100kHz bandwidth with the addition of a 0.01µF reference bypass capacitor. Additionally, the reference bypass capacitor will improve transient response of the regulator, lowering the settling time for transient load conditions. The low operating quiescent current (25µA per channel) drops to less than 1µA in shutdown. In addition to the low quiescent current, the LT3027 regulator incorporates several protection features which make it ideal for use in batterypowered systems. The device is protected against reverse input voltages. 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 LT3027 has an output voltage range of 1.22V to 20V. The output voltage is set by the ratio of two external resistors as shown in Figure 1. The device servos the output to maintain the corresponding ADJ pin voltage at 1.22V referenced to ground. The current in R1 is then equal to 1.22V/ R1 and the current in R2 is the current in R1 plus the ADJ pin bias current. The ADJ pin bias current, 30nA at 25°C, flows through R2 into the ADJ pin. The output voltage can be calculated using the formula in Figure 1. The value of R1 should be no greater than 250k 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. Curves of ADJ Pin Voltage vs Temperature and ADJ Pin Bias Current vs Temperature appear in the Typical Performance Characteristics. OUT VIN VOUT + IN R2 LT3027 ⎛ R2 ⎞ VOUT = 1.22V ⎜ 1 + ⎟ + (IADJ )(R2) ⎝ R1⎠ VADJ = 1.22V IADJ = 30nA AT 25°C ADJ GND R1 OUTPUT RANGE = 1.22V TO 20 V 3027 F01 Figure 1. Adjustable Operation The device is tested and specified with the ADJ pin tied to the corresponding OUT pin for an output voltage of 1.22V. Specifications for output voltages greater than 1.22V will be proportional to the ratio of the desired output voltage to 1.22V: VOUT/1.22V. For example, load regulation for an output current change of 1mA to 100mA is –1mV typical at VOUT = 1.22V. At VOUT = 12V, load regulation is: (12V/1.22V)(–1mV) = – 9.8mV Bypass Capacitance and Low Noise Performance The LT3027 regulator may be used with the addition of a bypass capacitor from VOUT to the corresponding BYP pin to lower output voltage noise. A good quality low leakage capacitor is recommended. This capacitor will bypass the reference of the regulator, providing a low frequency noise pole. The noise pole provided by this bypass capacitor will lower the output voltage noise to as low as 20µVRMS with the addition of a 0.01µF bypass capacitor. Using a bypass capacitor has the added benefit of improving transient response. With no bypass capacitor and a 10µF output capacitor, a 10mA to 100mA load step will settle to within 1% of its final value in less than 100µs. With the addition of a 0.01µF bypass capacitor, the output will stay within 1% for a 10mA to 100mA load step (see Transient Reponse in Typical Performance Characteristics section). However, regulator start-up time is inversely proportional to the size of the bypass capacitor, slowing to 15ms with a 0.01µF bypass capacitor and 10µF output capacitor. 3027f 9 LT3027 U W U U APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO The LT3027 regulator is 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 1µF with an ESR of 3Ω or less is recommended to prevent oscillations. The LT3027 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. Bypass capacitors, used to decouple individual components powered by the LT3027, will increase the effective output capacitor value. With larger capacitors used to bypass the reference (for low noise operation), larger values of output capacitors are needed. For 100pF of bypass capacitance, 2.2µF of output capacitor is recommended. With a 330pF bypass capacitor or larger, a 3.3µF output capacitor is recommended. The shaded region of Figure 2 defines the region over which the LT3027 regulator is stable. The minimum ESR needed is defined by the amount of bypass capacitance used, while the maximum ESR is 3Ω. 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 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. 20 BOTH CAPACITORS ARE 16V, 1210 CASE SIZE, 10µF 0 X5R CHANGE IN VALUE (%) Output Capacitance and Transient Response –20 –40 –60 Y5V –80 –100 0 2 4 14 8 6 10 12 DC BIAS VOLTAGE (V) 16 3027 F03 Figure 3.

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 Figure 5’s trace in response to light tapping from a pencil. Similar vibration induced behavior can masquerade as increased output voltage noise. COUT = 10µF CBYP = 0.01µF ILOAD = 100mA 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 following tables list thermal resistance for several different board sizes and copper areas. All measurements were taken in still air on 3/32" FR-4 board with one ounce copper. Table 1.

DD Package, 10-Lead DFN 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 made up of two components (for each channel): COPPER AREA TOPSIDE* BACKSIDE BOARD AREA THERMAL RESISTANCE (JUNCTION-TO-AMBIENT) 2500mm2 2500mm2 2500mm2 40°C/W 2 2500mm 2 2 45°C/W 2500mm 2 2 2500mm 50°C/W 2500mm2 62°C/W 1000mm 225mm 2 100mm2 2500mm2 2500mm 1. Output current multiplied by the input/output voltage differential: (IOUT)(VIN – VOUT), and *Device is mounted on topside. 2. GND pin current multiplied by the input voltage: (IGND)(VIN). The thermal resistance juncton-to-case (θJC), measured at the Exposed Pad on the back of the die is 10°C/W. The ground pin current can be found by examining the GND Pin Current curves in the Typical Performance Characteristics section. Power dissipation will be equal to the sum of the two components listed above. Power dissipation from both channels must be considered during thermal analysis. Calculating Junction Temperature The LT3027 regulator has internal thermal limiting designed to protect the device during overload conditions. Example: Given an output voltage on the first channel of 3.3V, an output voltage of 2.5V on the second channel, an input voltage range of 4V to 6V, output current ranges of 0mA to 100mA for the first channel and 0mA to 50mA for the second channel, with a maximum ambient temperature of 50°C, what will the maximum junction temperature be? 3027f 11 LT3027 U W U U APPLICATIONS INFORMATION The power dissipated by each channel of the device will be equal to: IOUT(MAX)(VIN(MAX) – VOUT) + IGND(VIN(MAX)) where (for the first channel): IOUT(MAX) = 100mA VIN(MAX) = 6V IGND at (IOUT = 100mA, VIN = 6V) = 2mA so: P1 = 100mA(6V – 3.3V) + 2mA(6V) = 0.28W and (for the second channel): IOUT(MAX) = 50mA VIN(MAX) = 6V IGND at (IOUT = 50mA, VIN = 6V) = 1mA so: P2 = 50mA(6V – 2.5V) + 1mA(6V) = 0.18W The thermal resistance will be in the range of 40°C/W to 60°C/W depending on the copper area. So the junction temperature rise above ambient will be approximately equal to: (0.28W + 018W)(60°C/W) = 27.8°C The maximum junction temperature will then be equal to the maximum junction temperature rise above ambient plus the maximum ambient temperature or: TJMAX = 50°C + 27.8°C = 77.8°C Protection Features The LT3027 regulator incorporates several protection features which makes 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 devices are protected against reverse input 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 which can be plugged in backward. The output of the LT3027 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. 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 pins will turn off the device and stop the output from sourcing the short-circuit current. The ADJ pins 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 pins will act like an open circuit when pulled below ground and like a large resistor (typically 100k) in series with a diode when pulled above ground. In situations where the ADJ pins are connected to a resistor divider that would pull the pins above their 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 1.22V 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 output and ADJ pin 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. When the IN pins of the LT3027 are forced below the corresponding OUT pins or the OUT pins are pulled above the IN pins, 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 pins will have no effect on the reverse output current when the output is pulled above the input. 3027f 12 LT3027 U TYPICAL APPLICATIO S Noise Bypassing Slows Startup, Allows Outputs to Track VSHDN1/SHDN2 1V/DIV VIN1 3.7V TO 20V VOUT1 1V/DIV VOUT2 1V/DIV 10µF 0.01µF BYP1 VIN2 2.9V TO 20V 3.3V AT 100mA OUT1 IN1 1µF 422k 249k IN2 LT3027 Startup Time 1µF 10µF 0.01µF 261k BYP2 SHDN2 GND ADJ2 STARTUP TIME (ms) SHDN1 100 2.5V AT 100mA OUT2 OFF ON 3027 TA02b 2ms/DIV ADJ1 249k 3027 TA02a 10 1 0.1 100 10 1000 10000 CBYP (pF) 3027 TA02c Power Supply Controller Provides Coincident Tracking Q1 VIN 3.3V 1µF 3.3V 10nF 154k VOL GATE RAMP ON 255k IN1 FB1 100k IN2 BYP1 ADJ1 LTC2923 243k RAMPBUF 255k STATUS SDO 2.5V OUT1 10µF LT3027 SHDN1 BYP2 SHDN2 OUT2 TRACK1 121k 115k TRACK2 GND FB2 1.8V ADJ2 GND 93.1k 243k 115k 10µF 3027 TA04 3027f 13 LT3027 U PACKAGE DESCRIPTIO DD Package 10-Lead Plastic DFN (3mm × 3mm) (Reference LTC DWG # 05-08-1699) R = 0.115 TYP 6 0.38 ± 0.10 10 0.675 ±0.05 3.50 ±0.05 1.65 ±0.05 2.15 ±0.05 (2 SIDES) 3.00 ±0.10 (4 SIDES) PACKAGE OUTLINE 1.65 ± 0.10 (2 SIDES) PIN 1 TOP MARK (SEE NOTE 6) (DD10) DFN 1103 5 0.200 REF 0.25 ± 0.05 0.50 BSC 2.38 ±0.05 (2 SIDES) RECOMMENDED SOLDER PAD PITCH AND DIMENSIONS 1 0.25 ± 0.05 0.50 BSC 0.75 ±0.05 0.00 – 0.05 2.38 ±0.10 (2 SIDES) BOTTOM VIEW—EXPOSED PAD NOTE: 1.
