LT3080-1
Parallelable 1.1A
Adjustable Single Resistor
Low Dropout Regulator
Description
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 de-
vices 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.
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.
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 charac-
teristics) and 3mm × 3mm DFN packages.
