Description

LT3066

45V, 500mA Low Noise

Linear Regulator with Programmable

Current Limit and Active Output Discharge

Demonstration circuit 2437A is an adjustable 500mA

linear regulator featuring the LT

3066. The LT3066 is a

micropower, low noise and low dropout voltage linear

regulator that operates over a 1.8V to 45V input voltage

range. The device supplies 500mA of output current with

a typical dropout voltage of 300mV. A 10nF bypass ca-

pacitor reduces output noise to 25µVRMS across a 10Hz

to 100kHz bandwidth and soft-starts the reference. The

LT3066’s ±45V input voltage rating combined with its

precision current limit make the IC an ideal choice for

robust, high reliability applications. LT3066 features an

NMOS pull-down that discharges the output if SHDN or

IN is driven low.

The LT3066’s current limit can be programmed by a single

resistor, accurate to ±10% over a wide input voltage and

temperature range. The internal current limit should be

considered when the input-to-output differential is high.

LT3066has a PWRGD pin which goes high whentheoutput

rises above 90% of its nominal value. If the output falls

performance summary

below 88.4% of its nominal value for more than 25µs, the

PWRGD pin asserts low. The use of a feedforward cap may

cause the PWRGD flag to assert early during a start-up

transient. To avoid this, ensure that the REF/BYP capaci-

tor is significantly larger than the feedforward capacitor.

The LT3066 optimizes stability and transient response

with low ESR ceramic capacitors, requiring a minimum

capacitance of 3.3µF.

The LT3066 is available in thermally-enhanced 12-Lead

4mm × 3mm DFN and MSOP packages.

The LT3066 data sheet gives a complete description of

the device, operation and application information. The

data sheet must be read in conjunction with this quick

start guide for demo circuit 2437A.

Quick start proceDure

Demonstration circuit 2437 is easy to set up to evaluate

the performance of the LT3066. Refer to Figure 1 for

proper measurement equipment setup and follow the

procedure below:

NOTE: Make sure that the input voltage does not exceed

45V.

NOTE: The shutdown jumper JP2 shunt is required to be

placed in the OFF or ON position for proper operation.

NOTE: Place the output voltage selection jumper JP1 at

the desired position.

NOTE: Do not hot-plug the input voltage terminal VIN. The

absolute maximum voltage on VIN is 50V and hot-plugging

a power supply through wire leads to the demonstration

circuit can cause the voltage on the extremely low ESR

ceramic input capacitor to ring to twice its DC value. In

order to protect the IC, a higher ESR Aluminum Electro-

lytic capacitor is placed at the input terminals. This may

protect against some, but not all, input transients due to

hot-plugging with a power supply. See Application Note

88 for more details.

NOTE: Connect the power supply (with power off), load,

and meters as shown in Figure 1.

1. After all connections are made, turn on the input power

and verify the output voltage according to the output

voltage selection jumper JP1. If the output voltage is

different from the above values, use the USER option

and install R8. Select R8 according to the following

equation:

R8 = (VOUT/0.6 – 1) •61.9k

NOTE: If the output voltage is too low, temporarily

disconnect the load to make sure that the load is not

set too high.

2. Once the proper output voltage is established, adjust the

load within the operating range and observe the output

voltage regulation, PWRGD and other parameters.
