  1 for more information www.linear.com/lt3090 output noise: 10hz to 100khz typical a pplica t ion fea t ures descrip t ion C36v , 600ma negative linear regulator with programmable curr ent limit the lt ? 3090 is a 600 ma, low dropout negative linear regulator that is easily parallelable to increase output current or spread heat on surface mounted boards . designed with a precision current reference followed by a high performance rail-to-rail voltage buffer, this regulator finds use in applications requiring precision output, high current with no heat sink, output adjustability to zero and low dropout voltage. the device can also be configured as a 3-terminal floating regulator. the lt3090 features fast transient response, high psrr and output noise as low as 18v rms . the lt3090 generates a wide output voltage range (0 v to C32 v) while maintain- ing unity gain operation. this yields virtually constant bandwidth, load regulation, psrr and noise, regardless of the programmed output voltage. the lt3090 supplies 600 ma at a typical dropout voltage of 300 mv. operating quiescent current is nominally 1ma and drops to << 1 a in shutdown. a single resistor ad- justs the lt3090s precision programmable current limit. the lt3090s positive or negative current monitor either sources a current (0.5 ma/a) or sinks a current (1ma/a) proportional to output current. built-in protection includes reverse output protection, internal current limit with fold- back and thermal shutdown with hysteresis. a pplica t ions l, lt , lt c , lt m , linear technology and the linear logo are registered trademarks and thinsot is a trademark of linear technology corporation. all other trademarks are the property of their respective owners. patent pending. n output current: 600ma n single resistor sets output voltage n 50a set pin current: 1% initial accuracy n programmable current limit n positive or negative output current monitor n parallelable for higher current and heat spreading n low dropout voltage: 300mv n low output noise: 18v rms (10hz to 100khz) n configurable as 3-t erminal floating regulator n wide input voltage range: C1.5v to C36v n rail-to-rail output voltage range: 0v to C32v n positive/negative shutdown logic or uvlo n programmable cable drop compensation n load regulation: 1.2mv (1ma to 600ma) n stable with 4.7f minimum output capacitor n stable with ceramic or tantalum capacitors n thermally enhanced 12-lead msop and 10-lead 0.75mm 3mm 3mm dfn packages n post regulator for switching supplies n low noise instrumentation and rf supplies n rugged industrial supplies n precision power supplies v in : ?3.5v v out : ?2v c out : 4.7f, c set : 0.1f i l : 600ma v out 100v/div 1ms/div 3090 ta01b lt3090 v out ?2.5v max i out 600ma set gnd ilim shdn 3090 ta01a ? + 50a imonp out imonn 0.1f 4.7f 49.9k 3.32k to adc (imon) in v in ?3v to ?10v 10k 3.3v 4.7f 0.1f lt 3090 3090fa

4 for more information www.linear.com/lt3090 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 lt3090 is tested and specified under pulsed load conditions such that t j ? t a . the lt3090e is guaranteed to meet performance specifications from 0c to 125c junction temperature. specifications over the C40c to 125c operating temperature range are assured by design, characterization, and correlation with statistical process controls. the lt3090i is guaranteed over the full C40c to 125c operating junction temperature range. the lt3090mp is 100% tested and guaranteed over the full C55c to 150c operating junction temperature range. the lt3090h is 100% tested at the 150c operating junction temperature. high junction temperatures degrade operating lifetimes. operating lifetime is derated at junction temperatures greater than 125c. note 3. parasitic diodes exist internally between the out, set, ilim, shdn, imonp, imonn, and gnd pins and the in pin. do not drive out, set, ilim, shdn, imonp, imonn, and gnd pins more than 0.3v below the in pin during fault conditions. these pins must remain at a voltage more positive than in during normal operation. note 4. the lt3090 may go out of regulation if the minimum output current requirement is not satisfied. note 5. maximum junction temperature limits operating conditions. the regulated output voltage specification does not apply for all possible combinations of input voltage and output current, primarily due to the internal current limit foldback which decreases current limit at v out C v in 7v. if operating at maximum output current, limit the input voltage range. if operating at maximum input voltage, limit the output current range. note 6. load regulation is kelvin sensed at the package. note 7. dropout voltage is the minimum output-to-input voltage differential needed to maintain regulation at a specified output current. in dropout, the output voltage is: v in + v dropout . note 8. gnd pin current is tested with v in = v out(nominal) and a current source load. therefore, the device is tested while operating in dropout. this is the worst-case gnd pin current. gnd pin current decreases at higher input voltages. note 9. the set pin is clamped to out with diodes through 12k resistors. these resistors and diodes only carry current under transient overloads or fault conditions. note 10. positive shdn pin current flows into the shdn pin. note 11. the shdn threshold must be met to ensure device operation. note 12. output noise decreases by adding a capacitor across the voltage setting resistor. adding this capacitor bypasses the voltage setting resistors thermal noise as well as the reference currents noise. output noise then equals the error amplifier noise (see applications information section). note 13. the internal back-up current limit circuitry incorporates foldback protection that decreases current limit for v out C v in 7v. some level of output current is provided at all v out C v in differential voltages. please consult the typical performance characteristic graph for current limit vs v out C v in . note 14. the current limit programming scale factor is specified while the internal backup current limit is not active. please note that the internal current limit has foldback protection for v out -to-v in differentials greater than 7v. note 15. for positive current monitoring, bias imonn to 2v above imonp. parameter conditions min typ max units positive current monitor (note 15) positive current monitoring (imonp) scale factor i out = 600ma, v in = C2.5v, v imonn = 2v, v imonp = 0v i out = 100ma, v in = C2.5v, v imonn = 2v, v imonp = 0v l l 280 42.5 0.5 300 50 320 57.5 ma /a a a negative current monitor negative current monitoring (imonn) scale factor i out = 600ma, v in = C2.5v, v imonn = 0v, v imonp = C2.5v i out = 100ma, v in = C2.5v, v imonn = 0v, v imonp = C2.5v l l 560 85 1 600 100 640 115 ma /a a a minimum required load current (note 4) C36v < v in < C1.9v l 10 a thermal regulation iset 10ms pulse 0.04 %/w e lec t rical c harac t eris t ics the l denotes the specifications which apply over the full operating temperature range, otherwise specifications are at t a = 25c. lt 3090 3090fa

(C 3.465v) = 0.505w using a dfn package, the thermal resistance is in the range of 34 c/w to 36 c/w depending on the copper area. therefore, the junction temperature rise above ambient approximately equals: 0.505 w ? 35c/w = 18c the maximum junction temperature equals the maxi- mum ambient temperature plus the maximum junction temperature rise above ambient: t jmax = 85c + 18c = 103c overload recovery like many monolithic power regulators, the lt3090 incorporates safe-operating-area ( soa) protection. the soa protection activates at output-to-input differential voltage greater than 7 v. the soa protection decreases current limit as output-to-input differential increases and keeps the power transistor inside a safe operating region for all values of output-to-input voltage up to the lt3090s absolute maximum ratings. the lt3090 provides some level of output current for all values of output-to-input differential. refer to the current limit curve in the typical performance characteristics section. when power is first lt 3090 3090fa
