DESCRIPTION
The LT®3009 Series are micropower, low dropout voltage
(LDO) linear regulators. The devices supply 20mA output
current with a dropout voltage of 280mV. No-load quiescent
current is 3μA. Ground pin current remains at less than
5% of output current as load increases. In shutdown,
quiescent current is less than 1μA.
The LT3009 regulators optimize stability and transient
response with low ESR ceramic capacitors, requiring a
minimum of only 1μF. The regulators do not require the
addition of ESR as is common with other regulators.
Internal protection circuitry includes current limiting,
thermal limiting, reverse-battery protection and reversecurrent protection.
The LT3009 Series are ideal for applications that require
moderate output drive capability coupled with ultralow
standby power consumption. The device is available in
fi xed output voltages of 1.2V, 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V and 5V,
and as an adjustable device with an output voltage range
down to the 600mV reference. The LT3009 is available in
the 6-lead DFN and 8-lead SC70 packages.

PARAMETERCONDITIONSMINTYPMAXUNITS
Operating Voltage
Regulated Output Voltage (Note 4)LT3009-1.2: V
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 LT3009 regulators are tested and specifi ed under pulse load
conditions such that T
Performance at –40°C and 125°C is assured by design, characterization
and correlation with statistical process controls. The LT3009I is guaranteed
over the full –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range.
Note 3: The LT3009 adjustable version is tested and specifi ed for these
conditions with the ADJ pin connected to the OUT pin.
Note 4: Operating conditions are limited by maximum junction temperature.
The regulated output voltage specifi cation will not apply for all possible
combinations of input voltage and output current. When operating at the
maximum input voltage, the output current range must be limited. When
operating at the maximum output current, the input voltage must be limited.
Note 5: Dropout voltage is the minimum input to output voltage differential
needed to maintain regulation at a specifi ed output current. In dropout,
the output voltage equals (V
voltage will be limited by the minimum input voltage under some voltage/
load conditions.
Note 6: To satisfy minimum input voltage requirements, the LT3009
adjustable version is tested and specifi ed for these conditions with an
external resistor divider (61.9k bottom, 280k top) which sets V
OUT
The external resistor divider adds 9.69μA of DC load on the output. This
external current is not factored into GND pin current.
Note 7: GND pin current is tested with V

+ 0.5V and a
current source load. GND pin current will increase in dropout. For the fi xed
output voltage versions, an internal resistor divider will add to the GND
pin current (∼2μA for the LT3009-5, ∼ 1μA for the LT3009-1.2, LT3009-1.5,
LT3009-1.8, LT3009-2.5 and LT3009-3.3). See the GND Pin Current curves
in the Typical Performance Characteristics section.
Note 8: The SHDN pin can be driven below GND only when tied to the IN
pin directly or through a pull-up resistor. If the SHDN pin is driven below
GND by more than –0.3V while IN is powered, the output will turn on.
Note 9: Output noise is listed for the adjustable version with the ADJ pin
connected to the OUT pin. See the RMS Output Noise vs Load Current
curve in the Typical Performance Characteristics Section.

PIN FUNCTIONS
SHDN (Pin 1/Pin 5): Shutdown. Pulling the SHDN pin
low puts the LT3009 into a low power state and turns the
output off. If unused, tie the SHDN pin to V
does not function if the SHDN pin is not connected. The
SHDN pin cannot be driven below GND unless tied to the
IN pin. If the SHDN pin is driven below GND while IN is
powered, the output will turn on. SHDN pin logic cannot
be referenced to a negative rail.
GND (Pins 2, 3, 4/Pin 6): Ground. Connect the bottom
of the resistor divider that sets output voltage directly to
GND for the best regulation.
IN (Pin 5/Pin 4): Input. The IN pin supplies power to the
device. The LT3009 requires a bypass capacitor at IN if
the device is more than six inches away from the main
input fi lter 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 0.1μF to 10μF will suffi ce. The LT3009 withstands reverse voltages on the IN
pin with respect to ground and the OUT pin. In the case
of a reversed input, which occurs with a battery plugged
in backwards, the LT3009 acts as if a large resistor is in
series with its input. Limited reverse current fl ows into
the LT3009 and no reverse voltage appears at the load.
The device protects both itself and the load.

OUT (Pin 6/Pins 2, 3): Output. This pin supplies power to
the load. Use a minimum output capacitor of 1μF to prevent
oscillations. Large load transient applications require larger
output capacitors to limit peak voltage transients. See the
Applications Information section for more information on
output capacitance and reverse output characteristics.
ADJ (Pin 7/Pin 1): Adjust. This pin is the error amplifi er’s
inverting terminal. Its 300pA typical input bias current
fl ows out of the pin (see curve of ADJ Pin Bias Current vs
Temperature in the Typical Performance Characteristics
section). The ADJ pin voltage is 600mV referenced to GND
and the output voltage range is 600mV to 19.5V. This pin
is not connected in the fi xed output voltage versions.
NC (Pins 7, 8/Pin 1): No Connect. For the adjustable voltage
version, Pin 8 is an NC pin in the SC70 package. For the
fi xed voltage versions, Pin 7 and Pin 8 are NC pins in the
SC70 package, and Pin 1 is an NC pin in the DFN package.
NC pins are not tied to any internal circuitry. They may be

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The LT3009 is a low dropout linear regulator with ultralow quiescent current and shutdown. Quiescent current is
extremely low at 3μA and drops well below 1μA in shutdown. The device supplies up to 20mA of output current.
Dropout voltage at 20mA is typically 280mV. The LT3009
incorporates several protection features, making it ideal for
use in battery-powered systems. The device protects itself
against both reverse-input and reverse-output voltages.
In battery backup applications, where a backup battery
holds up the output when the input is pulled to ground,
the LT3009 acts as if a blocking diode is in series with its
output and prevents reverse current fl ow. In applications
where the regulator load returns to a negative supply, the
output can be pulled below ground by as much as 22V
without affecting startup or normal operation.
Adjustable Operation
The LT3009 has an output voltage range of 0.6V to 19.5V.
Figure 1 shows that output voltage is set by the ratio of two
external resistors. The IC regulates the output to maintain
the ADJ pin voltage at 600mV referenced to ground. The
current in R1 equals 600mV/R1 and the current in R2 is
the current in R1 minus the ADJ pin bias current. The
ADJ pin bias current, typically 300pA at 25°C, fl ows out
of the pin. Calculate the output voltage using the formula
in Figure 1. An R1 value of 619k sets the divider current
to 0.97μA. Do not make R1’s value any greater than 619k
to minimize output voltage errors due to the ADJ pin bias
current and to insure stability under minimum load conditions. In shutdown, the output turns off and the divider
current is zero. Curves of ADJ Pin Voltage vs Temperature
and ADJ Pin Bias Current vs Temperature appear in the
Typical Performance Characteristics.
Specifi cations for output voltages greater than 0.6V are
proportional to the ratio of the desired output voltage to
0.6V: V
/0.6V. For example, load regulation for an output

Because the ADJ pin is relatively high impedance (depending on the resistor divider used), stray capacitances
at this pin should be minimized. Special attention should
be given to any stray capacitances that can couple external signals onto the ADJ pin producing undesirable
output transients or ripple.
Extra care should be taken in assembly when using high
valued resistors. Small amounts of board contamination
can lead to signifi cant shifts in output voltage. Appropriate post-assembly board cleaning measures should

be implemented to prevent board contamination. If the
board is to be subjected to humidity cycling or if board
cleaning measures cannot be guaranteed, consideration
should be given to using resistors an order of magnitude
smaller than in Table 1 to prevent contamination from
causing unwanted shifts in the output voltage.
Output Capacitance and Transient Response
The LT3009 is stable with a wide range of output capacitors. The ESR of the output capacitor affects stability, most
notably with small capacitors. Use a minimum output
capacitor of 1μF with an ESR of 3Ω or less to prevent oscillations. The LT3009 is a micropower device and output
load 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.
Give extra consideration to the use of ceramic capacitors.
Manufacturers make ceramic capacitors with a variety of
dielectrics, each with different behavior across temperature and applied voltage. The most common dielectrics
are specifi ed with EIA temperature characteristic codes
of Z5U, Y5V, X5R and X7R. The Z5U and Y5V dielectrics
provide high C-V products in a small package at low cost,
but exhibit strong voltage and temperature coeffi cients 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 DC bias voltage applied and
over the operating temperature range. The X5R and X7R
dielectrics yield 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. One must still
exercise care 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 with X5R and X7R
capacitors is better than Y5V and Z5U capacitors, but can
still be signifi cant enough to drop capacitor values below
appropriate levels. Capacitor DC bias characteristics tend
to improve as component case size increases, but expected
capacitance at operating voltage should be verifi ed.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Voltage and temperature coeffi cients 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
Figure 4’s trace in response to light tapping from a pencil.
Similar vibration induced behavior can masquerade as
increased output voltage noise.

Thermal Considerations
The LT3009’s maximum rated junction temperature of
125°C limits its power-handling capability. Two components
comprise the power dissipated by the device:
1. Output current multiplied by the input/output voltage
differential: I
• (VIN – V
OUT
OUT
)
2. GND pin current multiplied by the input voltage:
• V
I
GND
IN
GND pin current is found by examining the GND Pin Current curves in the Typical Performance Characteristics
section. Power dissipation equals the sum of the two
components listed prior.
The LT3009 regulator has internal thermal limiting designed
to protect the device during overload conditions. For continuous normal conditions, do not exceed the maximum
junction temperature rating of 125°C. Carefully consider
all sources of thermal resistance from junction to ambient including other heat sources mounted in proximity to
the LT3009. 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.

Calculating Junction Temperature
Example: Given an output voltage of 3.3V, an input voltage range of 12V ±5%, an output current range of 0mA
to 20mA and a maximum ambient temperature of 85°C,
what will the maximum junction temperature be for an
application using the DC package?
The power dissipated by the device is equal to:
I
OUT(MAX)
(V

– V

) + I
GND
(V

where,
at (I

= 12.6V
= 20mA, VIN = 12.6V) = 0.45mA
OUT
I
OUT(MAX)
V
IN(MAX)
I
GND
So,
P = 20mA(12.6V – 3.3V) + 0.45mA(12.6V) = 191.7mW
The thermal resistance will be in the range of 65°C/W to
85°C/W depending on the copper area. So the junction
temperature rise above ambient will be approximately
equal to:
0.1917W(75°C/W) = 14.4°C
The maximum junction temperature equals the maximum
junction temperature rise above ambient plus the maximum
ambient temperature or:
T
J(MAX)
= 85°C + 14.4°C = 99.4°C

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Protection Features
The LT3009 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 also protects against reverse-input
voltages, reverse-output voltages and reverse output-toinput voltages.
Current limit protection and thermal overload protection
protect the device against current overload conditions at
the output of the device. For normal operation, do not
exceed a junction temperature of 125°C.
The LT3009 IN pin withstands reverse voltages of 22V. The
device limits current fl ow to less than 1mA (typically less
than 220μA) and no negative voltage appears at OUT. The
device protects both itself and the load against batteries
that are plugged in backwards.
The SHDN pin cannot be driven below GND unless tied to
the IN pin. If the SHDN pin is driven below GND while IN
is powered, the output will turn on. SHDN pin logic cannot
be referenced to a negative rail.
The LT3009 incurs no damage if OUT is pulled below
ground. If IN is left open circuit or grounded, OUT can be
pulled below ground by 22V. No current fl ows from the
pass transistor connected to OUT. However, current fl ows
in (but is limited by) the resistor divider that sets output
voltage. Current fl ows from the bottom resistor in the
divider and from the ADJ pin’s internal clamp through the
top resistor in the divider to the external circuitry pulling
OUT below ground. If IN is powered by a voltage source,
OUT sources current equal to its current limit capability
and the LT3009 protects itself by thermal limiting if necessary. In this case, grounding the SHDN pin turns off the
LT3009 and stops OUT from sourcing current.
The LT3009 incurs no damage if the ADJ pin is pulled
above or below ground by 22V. If IN is left open circuit or
grounded, ADJ acts like a 100k resistor in series with a
diode when pulled above or below ground.
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 fl ow back into the output follows the
curve shown in Figure 5.
If the LT3009 IN pin is forced below the OUT pin or the
OUT pin is pulled above the IN pin, input current typically
drops to less than 1μA. This occurs if the LT3009 input 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 the SHDN pin has no effect in the
reverse current if OUT is pulled above IN.
