The LT®3021 is a very low dropout voltage (VLDOTM) linear
regulator that operates from input supplies down to 0.9V.
This device supplies 500mA of output current with a
typical dropout voltage of 160mV. The LT3021 is ideal for
low input voltage to low output voltage applications,
providing comparable electrical efficiency to that of a
switching regulator.
The LT3021 regulator optimizes stability and transient
response with low ESR, ceramic output capacitors as
small as 3.3µF. Other LT3021 features include 0.05%
typical line regulation and 0.2% typical load regulation. In
shutdown, quiescent current typically drops to 3µA.
Internal protection circuitry includes reverse-battery protection, current limiting, thermal limiting with hysteresis,
and reverse-current protection. The LT3021 is available as
an adjustable output device with an output range down to
the 200mV reference. Three fixed output voltages, 1.2V,
1.5V and 1.8V, are also available.
The LT3021 regulator is available in the low profile
(0.75mm) 16-pin (5mm × 5mm) DFN package with exposed pad and the 8-lead SO package.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2: The LT3021 regulators are tested and specified under pulse load
conditions such that T
= 25°C. Performance at –40°C and 125°C is assured by design,

characterization and correlation with statistical process controls.
Note 3: 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.
Note 4: Maximum junction temperature limits operating conditions. The
regulated output voltage specification does not apply for all possible
combinations of input voltage and output current. Limit the output current
range if operating at maximum input voltage. Limit the input voltage range
if operating at maximum output current.
Note 5: Typically the LT3021 supplies 500mA output current with a 1V
input supply. The guranteed minimum input voltage for 500mA output
current is 1.10V.
Note 6: The LT3021 is tested and specified for these conditions with an
external resistor divider (20k and 30.1k) setting V
resistor divider adds 10µA of output load current. The line regulation and
load regulation specifications refer to the change in the 0.2V reference
voltage, not the 0.5V output voltage. Specifications for fixed output voltage
devices are referred to the output voltage.

needed to maintain regulation at a specified output current. In dropout the

pin current curves in the Typical Performance Characteristics section.
Note 9: Adjust pin bias current flows out of the ADJ pin.
Note 10: Shutdown pin current flows into the SHDN pin.
Note 11: Reverse output current is tested with IN grounded and OUT
forced to the rated output voltage. This current flows into the OUT pin and
out of the GND pin. For fixed voltage devices this includes the current in
the output resistor divider.
Note 12: The LT3021 is tested and specified for these conditions with an
external resistor divider (20k and 100k) setting V
to 1.2V. The external
OUT
resistor divider adds 10µA of load current.Note 13: Reverse current is higher for the case of (rated_output) < V
because the no-load recovery circuitry is active in this region and is

trying to restore the output voltage to its nominal value.
Note 14: Minimum input voltage is the minimum voltage required by the
control circuit to regulate the output voltage and supply the full 500mA
rated current. This specification is tested at V
= 0.5V. At higher output
OUT
voltages the minimum input voltage required for regulation will be equal to
the regulated output voltage V
plus the dropout voltage.
