The LT®3023 is a dual, micropower, low noise, low dropout regulator. With an external 0.01μF bypass capacitor,
output noise drops to 20μV
bandwidth. Designed for use in battery-powered systems,
the low 20μA quiescent current per channel makes it an
ideal choice. In shutdown, quiescent current drops to less
than 0.1μA. Shutdown control is independent for each
channel, allowing for fl exibility in power management. The
device is capable of operating over an input voltage from
1.8V to 20V, and can supply 100mA of output current from
each channel with a dropout voltage of 300mV. Quiescent
current is well controlled in dropout.
The LT3023 regulator is stable with output capacitors as
low as 1μF. Small ceramic capacitors can be used without
the series resistance required by other regulators.
Internal protection circuitry includes reverse battery
protection, current limiting, thermal limiting and reverse
current protection. The device is available as an adjustable device with a 1.22V reference voltage. The LT3023
regulator is available in the thermally enhanced 10-lead
MSOP and DFN packages.

at –40°C and 125°C is assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls. The LT3023I is guaranteed over the full
–40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range.
Note 3: The LT3023 is tested and specifi ed for these conditions with the
ADJ1/ADJ2 pin connected to the corresponding OUT1/OUT2 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 maximum input voltage, the output current range must be
limited. When operating at maximum output current, the input voltage
range must be limited.
Note 5: To satisfy requirements for minimum input voltage, the LT3023 is
tested and specifi ed for these conditions with an external resistor divider
(two 250k resistors) for an output voltage of 2.44V. The external resistor
divider will add a 5μA DC load on the output.

PIN FUNCTIONS
GND (Pin 3): Ground.
ADJ1/ADJ2 (Pins 4/2): Adjust Pin. These are the inputs to
the error amplifi ers. These pins are internally clamped to
± 7V. They have a bias current of 30nA which fl ows into the
pin (see curve of ADJ1/ADJ2 Pin Bias Current vs Temperature in the Typical Performance Characteristics section).
The ADJ1 and ADJ2 pin voltage is 1.22V referenced to
ground and the output voltage range is 1.22V to 20V.
BYP1/BYP2 (Pins 5/1): Bypass. The BYP1/BYP2 pins are
used to bypass the reference of the LT3023 regulator to
achieve low noise performance from the regulator. The
BYP1/BYP2 pins are clamped internally to ±0.6V (one V
from ground. A small capacitor from the corresponding
output to this pin will bypass the reference to lower the
output voltage noise. A maximum value of 0.01μF can
be used for reducing output voltage noise to a typical
20μV
this pin must be left unconnected.
OUT1/OUT2 (Pins 6/10): Output. The outputs supply power
to the loads. A minimum output capacitor of 1μF is required
to prevent oscillations. Larger output capacitors will be
required for applications with large transient loads to limit
peak voltage transients. See the Applications Information
section for more information on output capacitance and
reverse output characteristics.
over a 10Hz to 100kHz bandwidth. If not used,
RMS
BE
)
SHDN1/SHDN2 (Pins 7/9): Shutdown. The SHDN1/SHDN2
pins are used to put the corresponding channel of the
LT3023 regulator into a low power shutdown state. The
output will be off when the pin is pulled low. The SHDN1/SHDN2 pins can be driven either by 5V logic or open-collector logic with pull-up resistors. The pull-up resistors
are required to supply the pull-up current of the opencollector gates, normally several microamperes, and the
SHDN1/SHDN2 pin current, typically 1μA. If unused, the
pin must be connected to V
if the SHDN1/SHDN2 pins are not connected.
IN (Pin 8): Input. Power is supplied to the device through
the IN pin. A bypass capacitor is required on this pin 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 1μF to 10μF is suffi cient. The
LT3023 regulator is designed to withstand reverse voltages on the IN pin with respect to ground and the OUT
pin. In the case of a reverse input, which can happen if
a battery is plugged in backwards, the device will act as
if there is a diode in series with its input. There will be
no reverse current fl ow into the regulator and no reverse
voltage will appear at the load. The device will protect both
itself and the load.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
LT3023
The LT3023 is a dual 100mA low dropout regulator with
micropower quiescent current and shutdown. The device
is capable of supplying 100mA per channel at a dropout
voltage of 300mV. Output voltage noise can be lowered
to 20μV
over a 10Hz to 100kHz bandwidth with the
RMS
addition of a 0.01μF reference bypass capacitor. Additionally, the reference bypass capacitor will improve transient
response of the regulator, lowering the settling time for
transient load conditions. The low operating quiescent
current (20μA per channel) drops to less than 1μA in
shutdown. In addition to the low quiescent current, the
LT3023 regulator incorporates several protection features
which make it ideal for use in battery-powered systems.
The device is protected against both reverse input and
reverse output voltages. In battery backup applications
where the output can be held up by a backup battery when
the input is pulled to ground, the LT3023 acts like it has a
diode in series with its output and prevents reverse current
fl ow. Additionally, in dual supply applications where the
regulator load isreturned to a negative supply, the output
can be pulled below ground by as much as 20V and still
allow the device to start and operate.
Adjustable Operation
The LT3023 has an output voltage range of 1.22V to 20V.
The output voltage is set by the ratio of two external resistors as shown in Figure 1. The device servos the output
to maintain the corresponding ADJ1/ADJ2 pin voltage
at 1.22V referenced to ground. The current in R1 is then
equal to 1.22V/R1 and the current in R2 is the current in
R1 plus the ADJ1/ADJ2 pin bias current. The ADJ1/ADJ2
pin bias current, 30nA at 25°C, fl ows through R2 into the
ADJ1/ADJ2 pin. The output voltage can be calculated using the formula in Figure 1. The value of R1 should be no
greater than 250k to minimize errors in the output voltage
caused by the ADJ1/ADJ2 pin bias current. Note that in
shutdown the output is turned off and the divider current will
be zero. Curves of ADJ1/ADJ2 Pin Voltage vs Temperature
and ADJ1/ADJ2 Pin Bias Current vs Temperature appear
in the Typical Performance Characteristics.

The device is tested and specifi ed with the ADJ1/ADJ2
pin tied to the corresponding OUT1/OUT2 pin for an output voltage of 1.22V. Specifi cations for output voltages
greater than 1.22V will be proportional to the ratio of the
desired output voltage to 1.22V: V
/1.22V. For example,
OUT
load regulation for an output current change of 1mA to
100mA is –1mV typical at V
= 1.22V. At V
OUT
OUT
= 12V,
load regulation is:
(12V/1.22V)(–1mV) = –9.8mV
Bypass Capacitance and Low Noise Performance
The LT3023 regulator may be used with the addition of a
bypass capacitor from V
to the corresponding BYP1/
OUT
BYP2 pin to lower output voltage noise. A good quality
low leakage capacitor is recommended. This capacitor
will bypass the reference of the regulator, providing a
low frequency noise pole. The noise pole provided by this
bypass capacitor will lower the output voltage noise to
as low as 20μV
with the addition of a 0.01μF bypass
RMS
capacitor. Using a bypass capacitor has the added benefi t
of improving transient response. With no bypass capacitor
and a 10μF output capacitor, a 10mA to 100mA load step
will settle to within 1% of its fi nal value in less than 100μs.
With the addition of a 0.01μF bypass capacitor, the output
will stay within 1% for a 10mA to 100mA load step (see
Transient Reponse in Typical Performance Characteristics
section). However, regulator start-up time is proportional
to the size of the bypass capacitor, slowing to 15ms with
a 0.01μF bypass capacitor and 10μF output capacitor.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Output Capacitance and Transient Response
The LT3023 regulator is designed to be stable with a
wide range of output capacitors. The ESR of the output capacitor affects stability, most notably with small
capacitors. A minimum output capacitor of 1μF with an
ESR of 3Ω or less is recommended to prevent oscillations. The LT3023 is a micropower device and output
transient response will be a function of output capacitance.
Larger values of output capacitance decrease the peak
deviations and provide improved transient response for
larger load current changes. Bypass capacitors, used to
decouple individual components powered by the LT3023,
will increase the effective output capacitor value. With
larger capacitors used to bypass the reference (for low
noise operation), larger values of output capacitors are
needed. For 100pF of bypass capacitance, 2.2μF of output
capacitor is recommended. With a 330pF bypass capacitor
or larger, a 3.3μF output capacitor is recommended. The
shaded region of Figure 2 defi nes the region over which
the LT3023 regulator is stable. The minimum ESR needed
is defi ned by the amount of bypass capacitance used, while
the maximum ESR is 3Ω.
and temperature coeffi cients as shown in Figures 3 and 4.
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 result in 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. Care still must be exercised 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

Extra consideration must be given to the use of ceramic
capacitors. Ceramic capacitors are manufactured with a
variety of dielectrics, each with different behavior across
temperature and applied voltage. The most common
dielectrics used are specifi ed with EIA temperature characteristic codes of Z5U, Y5V, X5R and X7R. The Z5U and
Y5V dielectrics are good for providing high capacitances
in a small package, but they tend to have strong voltage

case size increases, but expected capacitance at operating
voltage should be verifi ed.
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

Characteristics section. Power dissipation will be equal
to the sum of the two components listed above. Power
dissipation from both channels must be considered during
thermal analysis.
The LT3023 regulator has internal thermal limiting designed to protect the device during overload conditions.
For continuous normal conditions, the maximum junction
temperature rating of 125°C must not be exceeded. It is
important to give careful consideration to all sources of
thermal resistance from junction to ambient. Additional
heat sources mounted nearby must also be considered.
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.
The following tables list thermal resistance for several
different board sizes and copper areas. All measurements
were taken in still air on 3/32" FR-4 board with one ounce
copper.

Thermal Considerations
The power handling capability of the device will be limited
by the maximum rated junction temperature (125°C). The
power dissipated by the device will be made up of two
components (for each channel):

differential: (I

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Calculating Junction Temperature
Example: Given an output voltage on the fi rst channel of
3.3V, an output voltage of 2.5V on the second channel, an
input voltage range of 4V to 6V, output current ranges of
0mA to 100mA for the fi rst channel and 0mA to 50mA for the
second channel, with a maximum ambient temperature of
50°C, what will the maximum junction temperature be?
The power dissipated by each channel of the device will
be equal to:
I
OUT(MAX)(VIN(MAX)
– V
OUT
) + I
GND(VIN(MAX)
)
where (for the fi rst channel):
at (I
= 100mA
= 6V
= 100mA, VIN = 6V) = 2mA
OUT
I
OUT(MAX)
V
I
GND
IN(MAX)
so:
P1 = 100mA(6V – 3.3V) + 2mA(6V) = 0.28W
and (for the second channel):
at (I
= 50mA
= 6V
= 50mA, VIN = 6V) = 1mA
OUT
I
OUT(MAX)
V
I
GND
IN(MAX)
so:
P2 = 50mA(6V – 2.5V) + 1mA(6V) = 0.18W
The thermal resistance will be in the range of 40°C/W to
60°C/W depending on the copper area. So the junction
temperature rise above ambient will be approximately
equal to:
(0.28W + 018W)(60°C/W) = 27.8°C
The maximum junction temperature will then be equal to
the maximum junction temperature rise above ambient
plus the maximum ambient temperature or:
T
= 50°C + 27.8°C = 77.8°C
JMAX
Protection Features
The LT3023 regulator incorporates several protection
features which makes 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 devices are protected
against reverse input voltages, reverse output voltages
and reverse voltages from output to input.
Current limit protection and thermal overload protection
are intended to protect the device against current overload
conditions at the output of the device. For normal operation,
the junction temperature should not exceed 125°C.
The input of the device will withstand reverse voltages
of 20V. Current fl ow into the device will be limited to less
than 1mA (typically less than 100μA) and no negative
voltage will appear at the output. The device will protect
both itself and the load. This provides protection against
batteries which can be plugged in backward.
The output of the LT3023 can be pulled below ground
without damaging the device. If the input is left open circuit
or grounded, the output can be pulled below ground by
20V. The output will act like an open circuit; no current will
fl ow out of the pin. If the input is powered by a voltage
source, the output will source the short-circuit current of
the device and will protect itself by thermal limiting. In
this case, grounding the SHDN1/SHDN2 pins will turn off
the device and stop the output from sourcing the shortcircuit current.
The ADJ1 and ADJ2 pins can be pulled above or below
ground by as much as 7V without damaging the device.
If the input is left open circuit or grounded, the ADJ1 and
ADJ2 pins will act like an open circuit when pulled below
ground and like a large resistor (typically 100k) in series
with a diode when pulled above ground.
In situations where the ADJ1 and ADJ2 pins are connected
to a resistor divider that would pull the pins above their 7V
clamp voltage if the output is pulled high, the ADJ1/ADJ2
pin input current must be limited to less than 5mA. For
example, a resistor divider is used to provide a regulated
1.5V output from the 1.22V reference when the output
is forced to 20V. The top resistor of the resistor divider
must be chosen to limit the current into the ADJ pin to
less than 5mA when the ADJ1/ADJ2 pin is at 7V. The 13V
difference between output and ADJ1/ADJ2 pin divided by
the 5mA maximum current into the ADJ1/ADJ2 pin yields
a minimum top resistor value of 2.6k.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
LT3023
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 will follow
the curve shown in Figure 6.
When the IN pin of the LT3023 is forced below the OUT1
or OUT2 pins or the OUT1/OUT2 pins are pulled above the
IN pin, input current will typically drop to less than 2μA.
This can happen if the input of the device is connected
to a discharged (low voltage) battery and the output is
held up by either a backup battery or a second regulator
circuit. The state of the SHDN1/SHDN2 pins will have no
effect on the reverse output current when the output is
pulled above the input.
