DESCRIPTION  
FEATURES

Internal Ballast Resistor Permits Direct  
The LT®3080-1 is a 1.1A low dropout linear regulator that  
incorporates an internal ballast resistor to allow direct  
paralleling of devices without the need for PC board trace  
resistors. The internal ballast resistor allows multiple  
devices to be paralleled directly on a surface mount  
board for higher output current and power dissipation  
while keeping board layout simple and easy. The device  
brings out the collector of the pass transistor to allow low  
dropout operation—down to 350mV—when used with  
multiple input supplies.

Wide Input Voltage Range: 1.2V to 36V  
Low Dropout Voltage: 350mV  
<0.001%/V Line Regulation  
The LT3080-1 is capable of supplying a wide output volt-  
age range. A reference current through a single resistor  
programs the output voltage to any level between zero  
and 36V. The LT3080-1 is stable with 2.2μF of ceramic  
capacitance on the output, not requiring additional ESR  
as is common with other regulators.  
Minimum Load Current: 0.5mA  
Stable with 2.2μF Minimum Ceramic Output Capacitor

Available in 8-Lead MSOP and 3mm × 3mm DFN  
Internal protection includes current limiting and thermal  
limiting. The LT3080-1 regulator is offered in the 8-  
lead MSOP (with an Exposed Pad for better thermal  
characteristics) and 3mm × 3mm DFN packages.

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 6: Output noise is lowered by adding a small capacitor across the  
voltage setting resistor. Adding this capacitor bypasses the voltage setting  
resistor shot noise and reference current noise; output noise is then equal  
to error amplifier noise (see the Applications Information section).  
Note 2: Unless otherwise specified, all voltages are with respect to V  
.
Note 7: SET pin is clamped to the output with diodes. These diodes only  
carry current under transient overloads.

The LT3080-1 regulator is easy to use and has all the

regulators. Included are short-circuit protection and safe  
operating area protection, as well as thermal shutdown.  
and frequency response independent of the impedance on  
the positive input. Older adjustable regulators, such as the  
LT1086 have a change in loop gain with output voltage  
as well as bandwidth changes when the adjustment pin  
is bypassed to ground. For the LT3080-1, the loop gain is  
unchanged by changing the output voltage or bypassing.  
Output regulation is not fixed at a percentage of the output  
voltage but is a fixed fraction of millivolts. Use of a true  
current source allows all the gain in the buffer amplifier  
to provide regulation and none of that gain is needed to  
amplify up the reference to a higher output voltage.  
The LT3080-1 is especially well suited to applications  
needing multiple rails. The new architecture adjusts down  
to zero with a single resistor handling modern low voltage  
digital IC’s as well as allowing easy parallel operation and  
thermal management without heat sinks. Adjusting to  
“zero” output allows shutting off the powered circuitry  
and when the input is pre-regulated—such as a 5V or  
3.3V input supply—external resistors can help spread  
the heat.

for higher output current; inputs of devices are all tied

of the internal ballast resistor, devices automatically share

Board leakage can be minimized by encircling the SET  
pin and circuitry with a guard ring operated at a potential  
close to itself; the guard ring should be tied to the OUT  
pin. Guarding both sides of the circuit board is required.  
Bulk leakage reduction depends on the guard ring width.  
Ten nanoamperes of leakage into or out of the SET pin and  
associated circuitry creates a 0.1% error in the reference  
voltage. Leakages of this magnitude, coupled with other  
sources of leakage, can cause significant offset voltage  
and reference drift, especially over the possible operating  
temperature range.

efficiency and reduces dissipation. To further spread the  
heat, a resistor can be inserted in series with the collector  
to move some of the heat out of the IC and spread it on  
the PC board.  
If guardring techniques are used, this bootstraps any  
stray capacitance at the SET pin. Since the SET pin is  
a high impedance node, unwanted signals may couple  
into the SET pin and cause erratic behavior. This will  
be most noticeable when operating with minimum  
output capacitors at full load current. The easiest way  
to remedy this is to bypass the SET pin with a small  
amount of capacitance from SET to ground, 10pF to  
20pF is sufficient.

Stability and Output Capacitance  
IN  
OUT  
The LT3080-1 requires an output capacitor for stability.  
It is designed to be stable with most low ESR capacitors  
(typically ceramic, tantalum or low ESR electrolytic). A  
minimum output capacitor of 2.2μF with an ESR of 0.5Ω  
or less is recommended to prevent oscillations. Larger  
values of output capacitance decrease peak deviations  
and provide improved transient response for larger load  
current changes. Bypass capacitors, used to decouple  
individualcomponentspoweredbytheLT3080-1,increase  
the effective output capacitor value.  
Output Voltage  
The LT3080-1 generates a 10μA reference current that  
flows out of the SET pin. Connecting a resistor from SET  
to ground generates a voltage that becomes the reference  
point for the error amplifier (see Figure 1). The reference  
voltage is a straight multiplication of the SET pin current  
and the value of the resistor. Any voltage can be generated  
and there is no minimum output voltage for the regulator.  
A minimum load current of 1mA is required to maintain  
regulationregardlessofoutputvoltage.Fortruezerovoltage  
output operation, this 1mA load current must be returned  
to a negative supply voltage.  
For improvement in transient performance, place a  
capacitor across the voltage setting resistor. Capacitors  
up to 1μF can be used. This bypass capacitor reduces  
system noise as well, but start-up time is proportional  
With the low level current used to generate the reference  
voltage, leakage paths to or from the SET pin can create  
errors in the reference and output voltages. High quality  
insulation should be used (e.g., Teflon, Kel-F); cleaning

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 specified with EIA temperature  
characteristiccodesofZ5U,Y5V,X5RandX7R.TheZ5Uand  
Y5V dielectrics are good for providing high capacitances  
in a small package, but they tend to have strong voltage  
and temperature coefficients as shown in Figures 2  
and 3. 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  
acrosstemperature, whiletheX5Rislessexpensiveandis

Voltage and temperature coefficients 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 microphone works. For a  
ceramic capacitor the stress can be induced by vibrations  
in the system or thermal transients.  
Paralleling Devices  
LT3080-1’s may be directly paralleled to obtain higher  
output current. The SET pins are tied together and the  
IN pins are tied together. This is the same whether it’s in  
three terminal mode or has separate input supplies. The  
outputs are connected in common; the internal ballast

between the devices is within 2°C, showing excellent  
tracking between the devices. The board temperature has  
reached approximately 40°C within about 0.75 inches of  
each device.  
While 90°C is an acceptable operating temperature  
for these devices, this is in 25°C ambient. For higher  
ambients, the temperature must be controlled to prevent  
device temperature from exceeding 125°C. A three meter  
per second airflow across the devices will decrease the  
device temperature about 20°C providing a margin for  
higher operating ambient temperatures.  
Thermal Performance  
In this example, two LT3080-1 3mm × 3mm DFN devices  
are mounted on a 1oz copper 4-layer PC board. They are  
placed approximately 1.5 inches apart and the board is  
mountedverticallyforconvectioncooling. Twotestswere  
set up to measure the cooling performance and current  
sharing of these devices.

sharing and thermal sharing is excellent, showing that  
acceptable operation can be had while keeping the peak  
temperaturesbelowexcessiveoperatingtemperatureson  
a board. This technique allows higher operating current  
linear regulation to be used in systems where it could  
never be used before.  
The first test was done with approximately 0.7V input-  
to-output and 1A per device. This gave a 700 milliwatt

and both devices were within plus or minus 1°C. Both the

Quieting the Noise  
Curves in the Typical Performance Characteristics  
show noise spectral density and peak-to-peak noise  
characteristics for both the reference current and error  
amplifier over the 10Hz to 100kHz bandwidth.  
TheLT3080-1offersnumerousadvantageswhenitcomes  
to dealing with noise. There are several sources of noise  
in a linear regulator. The most critical noise source for any  
LDO is the reference; from there, the noise contribution  
from the error amplifier must be considered, and the gain  
created by using a resistor divider cannot be forgotten.  
Overload Recovery  
Like many IC power regulators, the LT3080-1 has safe  
operating area (SOA) protection. The SOA protection  
decreases current limit as the input-to-output voltage  
increasesandkeepsthepowerdissipationatsafelevelsfor  
allvaluesofinput-to-outputvoltage.TheLT3080-1provides

in the Typical Performance Characteristics section.  
Traditionallownoiseregulatorsbringthevoltagereference  
outtoanexternalpin(usuallythroughalargevalueresistor)  
to allow for bypassing and noise reduction of reference  
noise. The LT3080-1 does not use a traditional voltage  
reference like other linear regulators, but instead uses a  
reference current. That current operates with typical noise  
current levels of 3.2pA/√Hz (1nA  
over the 10Hz to  
RMS  
100kHzbandwidth).Thevoltagenoiseofthisisequaltothe  
noise current multiplied by the resistor value. The resistor  
generates spot noise equal to √4kTR (k = Boltzmann’s  
When power is first turned on, the input voltage rises  
and the output follows the input, allowing the regulator to  
start into very heavy loads. During start-up, as the input  
voltage is rising, the input-to-output voltage differential  
is small, allowing the regulator to supply large output  
currents. With a high input voltage, a problem can occur  
wherein removal of an output short will not allow the  
output voltage to recover. Other regulators, such as the  
LT1085 and LT1764A, also exhibit this phenomenon so it  
is not unique to the LT3080-1.

constant, 1.3810 J/°K, andTisabsolutetemperature)  
which is RMS summed with the reference current noise.  
To lower reference noise, the voltage setting resistor may  
be bypassed with a capacitor, though this causes start-up  
time to increase as a factor of the RC time constant.  
The LT3080-1 uses a unity-gain follower from the SET pin  
to drive the output, and there is no requirement to use  
a resistor to set the output voltage. Use a high accuracy  
voltage reference placed at the SET pin to remove the  
errors in output voltage due to reference current tolerance  
and resistor tolerance. Active driving of the SET pin is  
acceptable; the limitations are the creativity and ingenuity  
of the circuit designer.  
The problem occurs with a heavy output load when the  
inputvoltageishighandtheoutputvoltageislow.Common  
situations are immediately after the removal of a short  
circuit. The load line for such a load may intersect the  
output current curve at two points. If this happens, there  
are two stable operating points for the regulator. With this  
double intersection, the input power supply may need to  
be cycled down to zero and brought up again to make the  
output recover.  
One problem that a normal linear regulator sees with  
reference voltage noise is that noise is gained up along  
with the output when using a resistor divider to operate  
at levels higher than the normal reference voltage. With  
the LT3080-1, the unity-gain follower presents no gain  
whatsoever from the SET pin to the output, so noise  
figures do not increase accordingly. Error amplifier noise  
is typically 125nV/√Hz (40μV  
over the 10Hz to 100kHz  
RMS  
bandwidth); this is another factor that is RMS summed in  
to give a final noise figure for the regulator.

on the midpoint of the output load current range:  
Because the LT3080-1 is a floating device (there is no  
ground pin on the part, all quiescent and drive current is  
delivered to the load), it is not possible to provide true  
remote load sensing. Load regulation will be limited by the  
resistance of the connections between the regulator and  
the load. The data sheet specification for load regulation  
is Kelvin sensed at the pins of the package. Negative side  
sensing is a true Kelvin connection, with the bottom of  
the voltage setting resistor returned to the negative side of  
the load (see Figure 7). Connected as shown, system load  
regulation will be the sum of the LT3080-1 load regulation  
and the parasitic line resistance multiplied by the output  
current. It is important to keep the positive connection  
between the regulator and load as short as possible and  
use large wire or PC board traces.

The internal 25mΩ ballast resistor is outside of the

regulation. However, this additional load regulation can  
actually improve transient response performance by  
decreasing peak-to-peak output voltage deviation and  
even save on total output capacitance. This technique is

In some applications it may be necessary to reduce  
the power dissipation in the LT3080-1 package without  
sacrificing output current capability. Two techniques  
are available. The first technique, illustrated in Figure 8,  
employs a resistor in series with the regulator’s input. The  
voltage drop across RS decreases the LT3080-1’s IN-to-  
The LT3080-1’s power dissipation is now only 30%  
compared to no series resistor. R dissipates 1.2W of  
S
power. Choose appropriate wattage resistors to handle  
and dissipate the power properly.

LT3080-1  
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
The second technique for reducing power dissipation,  
shown in Figure 9, uses a resistor in parallel with the  
LT3080-1. Thisresistorprovidesaparallelpathforcurrent  
flow, reducing the current flowing through the LT3080-1.  
This technique works well if input voltage is reasonably  
constant and output load current changes are small. This  
technique also increases the maximum available output  
current at the expense of minimum load requirements.  
The maximum total power dissipation is (5.5V – 3.2V) •  
1A = 2.3W. However, the LT3080-1 supplies only:  
5.5V – 3.2V  
1A –  
= 0.36A  
3.6Ω  
Therefore, the LT3080-1’s power dissipation is only:  
= (5.5V – 3.2V) • 0.36A = 0.83W

R dissipates 1.47W of power. As with the first technique,

choose appropriate wattage resistors to handle and  
dissipate the power properly. With this configuration, the  
LT3080-1suppliesonly0.36A. Therefore, loadcurrentcan  
increase by 0.64A to 1.64A while keeping the LT3080-1 in  
its normal operating range.
