Typical Application
Description
The LT3070 is a low voltage, UltraFast™ transient response linear regulator. The device supplies up to 5A of output current with a typical dropout voltage of 85mV. A 0.01μF reference bypass capacitor decreases output voltage noise to 25μVRMS. The LT3070’s high bandwidth permits the use of low ESR ceramic capacitors, saving bulk capacitance and cost. The LT3070’s features make it ideal for high performance FPGAs, microprocessors or sensitive communication supply applications.
Output voltage is digitally selectable in 50mV increments over a 0.8V to 1.8V range. A margining function allows the user to adjust system output voltage in increments of ±1%, ±3% or ±5%. The IC incorporates a unique tracking function to control a buck regulator powering the LT3070’s input. This tracking function drives the buck regulator to maintain the LT3070’s input voltage to VOUT + 300mV, minimizing power dissipation.
Internal protection includes UVLO, reverse-current protection, precision current limiting with power foldback and thermal shutdown. The LT3070 regulator is available in a thermally enhanced 28-lead, 4mm × 5mm QFN package.
