DESCRIPTION

The LT®3083 is a 3A low dropout linear regulator that can be paralleled to increase output current or spread heat on surface mounted boards. Architected as a precision current source and voltage follower, this new regulator finds use in many applications requiring high current, adjustability to zero, and no heat sink. The device also brings out the collector of the pass transistor to allow low dropout opera­tion—down to 310mV—when used with multiple supplies.
A key feature of the LT3083 is the capability to supply a wide output voltage range. By using a reference current through a single resistor, the output voltage is programmed to any level between zero and 23V (DD-PAK and TO-220 packages). The LT3083 is stable with 10µF of capacitance on the output, and the IC is stable with small ceramic ca­pacitors that do not require additional ESR as is common with other regulators.
Internal protection circuitry includes current limiting and thermal limiting. The LT3083 is offered in the 16-lead TSSOP (with an exposed pad for better thermal character­istics), 12-lead 4mm × 4mm DFN (also with an exposed pad), 5-lead TO-220, and 5-lead surface mount DD-PAK 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: Unless otherwise specified, all voltages are with respect to V
OUT.
The LT3083 is tested and specified under pulse load conditions such that T
TA. The LT3083E is 100% tested at TA = 25°C. Performance of the
J
LT3083E over the full –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range is assured by design, characterization, and correlation with statistical process controls. The LT3083I regulators are guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range. The LT3083MP is 100% tested and guaranteed over the –55°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range.
Note 3: Minimum load current is equivalent to the quiescent current of the part. Since all quiescent and drive current is delivered to the output of the part, the minimum load current is the minimum current required to maintain regulation.
Note 4: For the LT3083, dropout is caused by either minimum control voltage (V
) or minimum input voltage (VIN). Both parameters are
CONTROL
specified with respect to the output voltage. The specifications represent the minimum input-to-output differential voltage required to maintain regulation.
Note 5: The V
pin current is the drive current required for the
CONTROL
output transistor. This current will track output current with roughly a 1:60 ratio. The minimum value is equal to the quiescent current of the device.
Note 6: Output noise is lowered by adding a small capacitor across the voltage setting resistor. Adding this capacitor bypasses the voltage setting resistor shot noise and reference current noise; output noise is then equal to error amplifier noise (see the Applications Information section).
Note 7: The SET pin is clamped to the output with diodes through 1k resistors. These resistors and diodes will only carry current under transient overloads.
Note 8: Load regulation is Kelvin sensed at the package. Note 9: Current limit includes foldback protection circuitry. Current limit
decreases at higher input-to-output differential voltages. Note 10: This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction temperature will exceed the maximum operating junction temperature when overtemperature protection is active. Overtemperature protection (thermal limit) is typically active at junction temperatures of 165°C. Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction temperature may impair device reliability.

PIN FUNCTIONS

(DF/FE/Q/T Packages)
OUT (Pins 1-5,13/Pins 1-6,8,9,16,17/ Pin 3, Tab/ Pin 3, Tab): Output. The exposed pad of the DF package (Pin 13)
and the FE package (Pin 17) and the Tab of the DD-PAK and TO-220 packages is an electrical connection to OUT. Connect the exposed pad of the DF and FE packages and the Tab of the DD-PAK package directly to OUT on the PCB and the respective OUT pins for each package. There must be a minimum load current of 1mA or the output may not regulate.
SET (Pin 6/Pin 7/Pin 2/Pin 2): Set Point. This pin is the non-inverting input to the error amplifier and the regula­tion set point. A fixed current of 50μA flows out of this pin through a single external resistor, which programs the output voltage of the device. Output voltage range is zero to the V
IN(MAX)
– V
DROPOUT
. Transient performance can be improved by adding a small capacitor from the SET pin to ground.
V
CONTROL
(Pins 7,8/Pins 10,11/ Pin 4/Pin 4): Bias Sup-
ply. This is the supply pin for the control circuitry of the device. Minimum input capacitance is 2.2µF (see Input Capacitance and Stability in the Applications Information section). The current flow into this pin is about 1.7% of the output current. For the device to regulate, this voltage must be more than 1.2V to 1.4V greater than the output voltage (see dropout specifications in the Electrical Char­acteristics section).
IN (Pins 9-12/ Pins 12-15/Pin 5/Pin 5): Power Input. This is the collector to the power device of the LT3083. The output load current is supplied through this pin. Minimum IN capacitance is 10µF (see Input Capacitance and Stabil­ity in Applications Information section). For the device to regulate, the voltage at this pin must be more than 0.1V to 0.5V greater than the output voltage (see dropout specifications in the Electrical Characteristics section).
NC (NA/ NA/Pin 1/Pin 1): No Connection. No Connect pins have no connection to internal circuitry and may be tied to V
