LT3015 Series 1.5A, Low Noise, Negative Linear Regulator with Precision Current Limit FEATURESDESCRIPTION n Output Current: 1.5A The LT®3015 series are low noise, low dropout, negative n Dropout Voltage: 310mV linear regulators with fast transient response. The devices n Precision Current Limit with Foldback supply up to 1.5A of output current at a typical dropout n Low Output Noise: 60µVRMS (10Hz to 100kHz) voltage of 310mV. Operating quiescent current is typically n Low Quiescent Current: 1.1mA 1.1mA and drops to < 1µA in shutdown. Quiescent current n Precision Positive or Negative Shutdown Logic is also well controlled in dropout. In addition to fast tran- n Fast Transient Response sient response, the LT3015 series exhibit very low output n Wide Input Voltage Range: –1.8V to –30V noise, making them ideal for noise sensitive applications. n Adjustable Output Voltage Range: –1.22V to –29.3V The LT3015 regulators are stable with a minimum 10µF n Fixed Output Voltages: –2.5V, –3V, –3.3V, –5V, –12V, –15V output capacitor. Moreover, the regulator can use small n Controlled Quiescent Current in Dropout ceramic capacitors without the necessary addition of ESR n <1µA Quiescent Current in Shutdown as is common with other regulators. Internal protection n Stable with 10µF Output Capacitor circuitry includes reverse output protection, precision cur- n Stable with Ceramic, Tantalum or Aluminum Capacitors rent limit with foldback and thermal limit with hysteresis. n Thermal Limit with Hysteresis n Reverse Output Protection The LT3015 regulators are available in fixed output volt- n 5-Lead TO-220 and DD-Pak, Thermally Enhanced ages of –2.5V, –3V, –3.3V, –5V, –12V and –15V and as an 12-Lead MSOP and 8-Lead 3mm × 3mm × 0.75mm adjustable device with a –1.22V reference voltage. Pack- DFN Packages ages include the 5-lead TO-220 and DD-Pak, a thermally enhanced 12-lead MSOP and the low profile (0.75 mm) APPLICATIONS 8-lead 3mm × 3mm DFN.
