The LT®3012B is a high voltage, micropower low dropout
linear regulator. The device is capable of supplying 250mA
of output current with a dropout voltage of 400mV. Designed for use in battery-powered or high voltage systems, the low quiescent current (40µA operating) makes
the LT3012B an ideal choice. Quiescent current is also well
controlled in dropout.
Other features of the LT3012B include the ability to operate with very small output capacitors. The regulators are
stable with only 3.3µF on the output while most older
devices require between 10µF and 100µF for stability.
Small ceramic capacitors can be used without any need for
series resistance (ESR) as is common with other regulators. Internal protection circuitry includes reverse-battery
protection, current limiting, thermal limiting and reverse
current protection.
The device is available with an adjustable output with a
1.24V reference voltage. The LT3012B regulator is available in the 16-lead TSSOP and 12 pin low profile (0.75mm)
(4mm × 3mm) DFN packages with an exposed pad for
enhanced thermal handling capability.

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 LT3012B is tested and specified for these conditions with the
ADJ pin connected to the OUT pin.
Note 3: 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 4: To satisfy requirements for minimum input voltage, the LT3012B
is tested and specified for these conditions with an external resistor divider
(249k bottom, 549k top) for an output voltage of 4V. The external resistor
divider will add a 5µA DC load on the output.
Note 5: 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 (V
IN
– V
DROPOUT
).
Note 6: GND pin current is tested with V
= 4.5V and a current source
IN
load. This means the device is tested while operating close to its dropout
region. This is the worst-case GND pin current. The GND pin current will
decrease slightly at higher input voltages.
Note 7: ADJ pin bias current flows into the ADJ pin.
Note 8: 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 9: The LT3012BE is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 125°C operating junction temperature. Specifications over
the –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by
design, characterization and correlation with statistical process controls.
Note 10: This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended to
protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is
active. Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating
junction temperature may impair device reliability.
