Description

LT3091EDE

–36V, 1.5A Negative Linear Regulator

with Programmable Current Limit

Demonstration circuit DC2276A is a 1.5A low dropout

negativelinearregulatorfeaturingtheLT

3091.This device

is designed for applications requiring negative output volt-

age, high current without a heat sink,output adjustability

to zero and low dropout voltage.

The LT3091 features fast transient response,high PSRR

andoutputnoiseaslowas18µVRMS.TheLT3091 generates

a wide output voltage range (0V to –32V) while maintain-

ing unity gain operation.This yields virtually constant

bandwidth,load regulation,PSRR and noise,independent

of the programmed output voltage.

The LT3091 supplies 1.5A at a typical dropout voltage of

300mV. Operating quiescent current is nominally 1.2mA

and drops to <<1µA in shutdown.A single resistor adjusts

the LT3091’s precision programmable current limit.The

LT3091’s positive or negative current monitor either

BoarD photo

sources a current (0.25mA/A)or sinks a current (0.5mA/A)

proportional to output current.

Built-in protection includes reverse output protection,

internal current limit with foldback and thermal shutdown

with hysteresis.

DC2276A uses the LT3091EDE which is a 14-lead (4mm

x 3mm) plastic DFN package with an exposed pad on the

bottom side of the IC for better thermal performance.

These features make DC2276A an ideal circuit for surface-

mount power supplies,rugged industrial power supplies,

low output voltage supplies and as a post regulator for

switching supplies.

* The minimum input voltage for –1.5A load current is set by the 50°C temperature rise of LT3091 on the demo circuit without forced-air cooling. Lower

input voltage can be reached if larger copper area or forced-air cooling is applied. The output current is also limited by the differential voltage of input

and output voltage, please refer the data sheet for details.

Quick start proceDure

DC2276A is easy to set up to evaluate the performance

of the LT3091. Refer to Figure 1 for proper measurement

equipment setup and follow the procedure below:

NOTE: When measuring the input or output voltage ripple,

care must be taken to avoid a long ground lead on the

oscilloscope probe.Measure the input or output voltage

ripple by touchingthe probe tip directlyacross the terminals

of the input or output capacitors.See Figure 2 for proper

scope probe technique.

1. Use JP2 to set the desired output voltage.

2. Put JP4 on ON position.

3. With power off,connect the input power supply to VIN

and GND.

4. Turn on the power at the VIN.

NOTE: Make sure that the VIN voltage does not exceed

–36V.

5. Check for the proper output voltages:

NOTE: If there is no output,temporarily dis-connect

the load to make sure that the load is not set too high

or is shorted.

6. Once the proper output voltages are established,adjust

the loads within the operating range and observe the out-

put voltage regulation,efficiency and other parameters.

NOTE: Make sure that the power dissipation is limited

below the thermal limit.

positive or negative current monitor anD caBle Drop

compensation configuration

There are both positive and negative current monitors on

the LT3091.The configurations for these two monitors are

different.Pleasecheckfollowingtableforproperconfiguration.

When the positive current monitor is in use, JP1 needs

to be configured on ON position and JP3 needs to be

configured on +3V position.Meantime,a +3V external

power supply needs to be connected to +3V INPUT turret.

When the negative current monitor is in use, JP1 needs

to be configured on OFF position and JP3 needs to be

configured on IMONN ON position.There is no external

power supply needed.

Demo Circuit 2276A also can be configured to evaluate the

cable drop compensation on the LT3091. Note that cable

drop compensation is only using negative current monitor

configuration. JP1, JP3 and R11 shall be configured. JP1

needs to be configured on OFF position. JP3 needs to be

configured on CABLE DROP COMP position. R11 needs

be replaced by a calculated value which has the following

relationship with the total output cable impedance (RCBL)

below. R11 and RCBL are both in Ω: R11 = RCBL •2 k.

An example thermal image shows the temperature

distribution on the PC board.The test is done in still air

at room temperature with 2.25W power dissipation in

the LT3091 IC.This gives an IC case-to-ambient thermal

resistance of θCA = 22°C/W on the demo circuit.The IC,

at its highest point,reaches 75°C, at –2.75VIN, –1.25VOUT

and 1.5A load current.
