The devices supply up to 1.5A of output current at a typical dropout voltage of 310mV. Operating quiescent current is typically 1.1mA and drops to < 1A in shutdown. Quiescent current is also well controlled in dropout. In addition to fast transient response, the LT3015 series exhibit very low output noise, making them ideal for noise sensitive applications. The LT3015 regulators are stable with a minimum 10F output capacitor. Moreover, the regulator can use small ceramic capacitors without the necessary addition of ESR as is common with other regulators. Internal protection circuitry includes reverse output protection, precision current limit with foldback and thermal limit with hysteresis. The LT3015 regulators are available in fixed output voltages of -2.5V, -3V, -3.3V, -5V, -12V and -15V and as an adjustable device with a -1.22V reference voltage. Packages include the 5-lead TO-220 and DD-Pak, a thermally enhanced 12-lead MSOP and the low profile (0.75 mm) 8-lead 3mm x 3mm DFN.

Exposure to any Absolute Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device reliability and lifetime. Note 2: The LT3015 adjustable version is tested and specified for these conditions with the ADJ pin connected to the OUT pin. Note 3: Maximum junction temperature limits operating conditions. The regulated output voltage specification does not apply for all possible combinations of input voltage and output current, especially due to the current limit foldback which starts to decrease current limit at about |VIN - VOUT| = 8V. If operating at maximum output current, limit the input voltage range. If operating at maximum input voltage, limit the output current range. Note 4: To satisfy minimum input voltage requirements, the LT3015 is tested and specified for these conditions with an external resistor divider (54.9k top, 49.9k bottom) for an output voltage of -2.56V. The external resistor adds 25A of DC load on the output. Note 5: Dropout voltage is the minimum input-to-output voltage differential needed to maintain regulation at a specified output current. In dropout, the output voltage is: VIN + VDROPOUT. Note 6: GND pin current is tested with VIN = VOUT(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 slightly at higher input voltages. Note 7: Positive ADJ pin bias current flows into the ADJ pin. dB dB dB dB dB dB dB 52 52 51 48 43 40 55 62 62 61 58 53 50 65 1.7 1.7 1.7 2 2 2 2.3 2.3 2.3 A A A l 4 5.5 mA l 1.55 1.7 mA Note 8: Positive SHDN pin current flows into the SHDN pin. Note 9: The LT3015 is tested and specified under pulsed load conditions such that TJ TA. The LT3015E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications from 0C to 125C junction temperature. Specifications over the -40C to 125C operating temperature range are assured by design, characterization, and correlation with statistical process controls. The LT3015I is guaranteed over the full -40C to 125C operating junction temperature range. The LT3015MP is 100% tested and guaranteed over the full -55C to 125C operating junction temperature range. Note 10: Parasitic diodes exist internally between the OUT, ADJ, SHDN pins and the IN pin. Do not drive the OUT, ADJ, and SHDN pins more that 0.3V below the IN pin during fault conditions, and these pins must remain at a voltage more positive than IN during normal operation. Note 11: The SHDN threshold must be met to ensure device operation. Note 12: For LT3015, the minimum input voltage refers to the lowest input voltage before the parts goes out of regulation. For the fixed voltage versions of LT3015, the minimum input voltage refers to the lowest input voltage before the part can no longer sink 1.5A; for proper regulation, the dropout voltage requirements must be met. Note 13: Sense pin current flows out of the pin. Note 14: The current limit circuit incorporates foldback that decreases current limit for |VIN - VOUT| 8V. Some level of output current is provided at all VIN - VOUT differential voltages. Please consult the Typical Performance Characteristics graph for Current Limit vs VIN - VOUT. 3015fb 6 LT3015 Series TYPICAL PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS Typical Dropout Voltage (DFN/MSOP) Guaranteed

These pins supply power to the regulator. The Tab of the DD-Pak, TO-220 and the exposed backside pad of the DFN and MSOP packages is an electrical connection to IN and to the device's substrate. For proper electrical and thermal performance, tie all IN pins together and tie IN to the exposed backside or Tab of the relevant package on the PCB. See the Applications Information Section for thermal considerations and calculating junction temperature. The LT3015 requires a bypass capacitor at IN. In general, a battery's output impedance rises with frequency, so include a bypass capacitor in battery powered applications. An input bypass capacitor in the range of 1F to 10F generally suffices, but applications with large load transients may require higher input capacitance to prevent input supply droop and prevent the regulator from entering dropout. SHDN (Pin 3 / 5 / 1 / 1): Shutdown. Use the SHDN pin to put the LT3015 into a micropower shutdown state. The SHDN function is bi-directional, allowing use of either positive or negative logic. The SHDN pin threshold voltages are referenced to GND. The output of the LT3015 is OFF if the SHDN pin is pulled typically within 0.73V of GND. Driving the SHDN pin typically more than 1.21V turns the LT3015 ON. Drive the SHDN pin with either a logic gate or with open collector/drain logic using a pull-up resistor. The resistor supplies the pull-up current of the open collector/drain gate, typically several microamperes. The typical SHDN pin current is 2.8A out of the pin (for negative logic) or 17A into the pin (for positive logic). If the SHDN function is unused, connect the SHDN pin to VIN to turn the device ON. If the SHDN pin is floated, then the LT3015 is OFF. A parasitic diode exists between SHDN and IN of the LT3015. Therefore, do not drive the SHDN pin more than 0.3V below IN during normal operation or during a fault condition. The SHDN pin can also be used to set a programmable undervoltage lockout (UVLO) threshold for the regulator input supply. GND (Pins 4, 5 / 6, 7 / 2 / 2): Ground. Tie all GND pin(s) together and tie the bottom of the output voltage setting resistor divider directly to the GND pin(s) for optimum load regulation performance. ADJ (Pin 6 / 8 / 4 / 4): Adjust. For the adjustable voltage version, this pin is the error amplifier's non-inverting input. It has a typical bias current of 30nA that flows into the pin. The ADJ pin reference voltage is -1.22V referred to GND, and the output voltage range is -1.22V to -29.5V. A parasitic substrate diode exists between ADJ and IN of the LT3015. Therefore, do not drive ADJ more than 0.3V below IN during normal operation or during a fault condition. SENSE (Pin 6 / 8 / 4 / 4): Sense. For the fixed voltage versions of the LT3015 (LT3015-2.5/LT3015-3/LT3015-3.3/ LT3015-5/LT3015-12/LT3015-15), the SENSE pin connects to the non-inverting input of the error amplifier through an internal resistor divider network. Optimum regulation is obtained when the SENSE pin is connected to the OUT pin of the regulator. In critical applications, small voltage drops are caused by the resistance (RP) of PCB traces between the regulator and the load. These drops can be eliminated by connecting the SENSE pin to the output at the load as shown in Figure 1 (Kelvin Sense Connection). Note that the voltage drop across the external PCB traces will add to the dropout voltage of the regulator. The SENSE pin bias current is 100A at the nominal output voltage. A parasitic diode exists between SENSE and IN of the LT3015. Therefore, do not drive SENSE more than 0.3V below IN during normal operation or during a fault condition. OUT (Pins 7, 8 / 9, 10, 11, 12 / 5 / 5): Output. These pins supply power to the load. Tie all OUT pins together for best performance. Use a minimum output capacitor of 10F with an ESR less than 500m to prevent oscillations. Large load transient applications require larger output capacitors to limit peak voltage transients. See the Applications Information section for more information on output capacitance. A parasitic substrate diode exists between OUT and IN of the LT3015. Therefore, do not drive OUT more than 0.3V below IN during normal operation or during a fault condition. RP GND LT3015-XX VIN SHDN IN LOAD SENSE OUT RP 3015 F01 Figure 1.

The device supplies up to 1.5A of output load current at a typical dropout voltage of 310mV. Moreover, the low 1.1mA operating quiescent current drops to less than 1A in shutdown. In addition to low quiescent current, the LT3015 incorporates several protection features that make it ideal for battery powered applications. In dual supply applications where the regulator's load is returned to a positive supply, OUT can be pulled above GND by 30V and still allow the LT3015 to start up and operate. Adjustable Operation The LT3015 adjustable version has an output voltage range of -1.22V to -29.3V. Output voltage is set by the ratio of two external resistors as shown in Figure 2. The device regulates the output to maintain the ADJ pin voltage to -1.22V referred to ground. The current in R1 equals -1.22V/R1 and the current in R2 equals the current in R1 plus the ADJ pin bias current. The ADJ pin bias current, 30nA at 25C, flows into the ADJ pin. Calculate the output voltage using the formula shown in Figure 1. The value of R1 should be less than 50k to minimize errors in the output voltage created by the ADJ pin bias current. Note that in shutdown, the output is off and the divider current GND CIN VIN R1 LT3015 SHDN COUT ADJ R2 IN OUT VOUT 3015 F02 VOUT R2 = -1.22V 1+ + (IADJ ) (R2) R1 VADJ = -1.22V AND IADJ = 30nA AT 25C OUTPUT RANGE = -1.22 TO - 29.5V Figure 2. Adjustable Operation is zero. Curves of ADJ Pin Voltage vs Temperature, ADJ Pin Bias Current vs Temperature and ADJ Pin Bias Current vs Input Voltage appear in the Typical Performance Characteristics section. The adjustable device is tested and specified with the ADJ pin tied to the OUT pin for a -1.22V output voltage. Specifications for output voltages greater than -1.22V are proportional to the ratio of the desired VOUT to -1.22V (VOUT/-1.22V). For example, load regulation for an output current change of -1mA to -1.5A is typically 2mV at VOUT = -1.22V. At VOUT = -5V, load regulation equals: (-5V/-1.22V) * (2mV) = 8.2mV 3015fb 15 LT3015 Series APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Table 1 shows 1% resistor divider values for some common output voltages with a resistor divider current of approximately 100A. to -1.22V output voltage performance regardless of the chosen output voltage (see Transient Response and Output Noise in the Typical Performance Characteristics section). Table 1. Output Voltage Resistor Divider Values R1 VOUT (V) (k) It is important to note that the start-up time is affected by the use of a feedforward capacitor. Start-up time is directly proportional to the size of the feedforward capacitor and the output voltage, and is inversely proportional to the feedback resistor divider current. In particular, it slows to 860s with a 10nF feedforward capacitor and a 10F output capacitor for an output voltage set to -5V by a 100A feedback resistor divider current. R2 (k) -2.5 12.1 12.7 -3.0 12.1 17.8 -3.3 12.1 20.5 -5.0 12.1 37.4 -12.0 12.1 107 -15.0 12.4 140 GND Feedforward Capacitance: Output Voltage Noise, Transient Performance, and PSRR The LT3015 regulators provide low output voltage noise over the 10Hz to 100kHz bandwidth while operating at full load current. Output voltage noise is approximately 240nV/Hz over this frequency while operating in unity-gain configuration. For higher output voltages (using a resistor divider), the output voltage noise gains up accordingly. To lower the output voltage noise for higher output voltages, include a feedforward capacitor (CFF) from VOUT to VADJ. A good quality, low leakage, capacitor is recommended. This capacitor bypasses the resistor divider network at high frequencies; and hence, reduces the output noise. With the use of a 10nF feedforward capacitor, the output noise decreases from 220VRMS to 70VRMS when the output voltage is set to -5V by a 100A feedback resistor divider. Higher values of output voltage noise are often measured if care is not exercised with regard to circuit layout and testing. Crosstalk from nearby traces induces unwanted noise onto the LT3015's output. Moreover, power supply ripple rejection (PSRR) must also be considered, as the LT3015 does not exhibit unlimited PSRR; and thus, a small portion of the input noise propagates to the output. Using a feedforward capacitor (CFF) from VOUT to VADJ has the added benefit of improving transient response and PSRR for output voltages greater than -1.22V. With no feedforward capacitor, the response and settling times will increase as the output voltage is raised above -1.22V. Use the equation in Figure 3 to determine the minimum value of CFF to achieve a transient (and noise) performance that is similar CIN SHDN ADJ VIN R2 IN COUT R1 LT3015 CFF OUT VOUT 3015 F03 CFF 10nF/100A * IFB-DIVIDER IFB-DIVIDER = VOUT/(R1+R2) Figure 3. Feedforward Capacitor for Fast Transient Response, Low Noise, and High PSRR Output Capacitance and Transient Performance The LT3015 regulators are stable with a wide range of output capacitors. The ESR of the output capacitor affects stability, most notably with small capacitors. Use a minimum output capacitor of 10F with an ESR of 500m or less to prevent oscillations. The LT3015's load transient response is a function of output capacitance. Larger values of output capacitance decrease the peak deviations and provide improved transient response for larger load current changes. 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 characteristic codes of Z5U, Y5V, X5R, and X7R. The Z5U and 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 4 and 5. 3015fb 16 LT3015 Series APPLICATIONS INFORMATION When used with a 5V regulator, a 16V 10F Y5V capacitor can exhibit an effective value as low as 1F to 2F 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 across temperature, while the X5R is less expensive and is available in higher values. Care still must be exercised when using X5R and X7R capacitors; the X5R and X7R codes only specify operating temperature range and maximum capacitance change over temperature. Capacitance change due to DC bias with X5R and X7R capacitors is better than Y5V and Z5U capacitors, but can still be significant enough to drop capacitor values below appropriate levels. Capacitor DC bias characteristics tend to improve as component case size increases, but expected capacitance at operating voltage should be verified in situ for all applications. 20 CHANGE IN VALUE (%) VOUT 1mV/DIV BOTH CAPACITORS ARE 16V, 1210 CASE SIZE, 10F 0 X5R VOUT = -1.3V COUT = 10F IL = 10A -20 -40 1ms/DIV 3015 F06 Figure 6.

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. The resulting voltages produced can cause appreciable amounts of noise. A ceramic capacitor produced the trace in Figure 6 in response to light tapping from a pencil. Similar vibration induced behavior can masquerade as increased output voltage noise.

Ceramic Capacitor Temperature Characteristics Like many IC power regulators, the LT3015 has safe operating area protection. The safe operating area protection activates at IN-to-OUT differential voltages greater than 8V. The safe area protection decreases current limit as the IN-to-OUT differential voltage increases and keeps the power transistor inside a safe operating region for all values of forward input-to-output voltage up to the LT3015's Absolute Maximum Ratings. When power is first applied and input voltage rises, the output follows the input and keeps the IN-to-OUT differential voltage small, allowing the regulator to supply large output currents and start-up into high current loads. With a high input voltage, a problem can occur wherein removal of an output short does not allow the output voltage to fully recover. Other LTC negative linear regulators such as the LT1175 and LT1964 also exhibit this phenomenon, so it is not unique to the LT3015. 3015fb 17 LT3015 Series APPLICATIONS INFORMATION The problem occurs with a heavy output load when input voltage is high and output voltage is low. Such situations occur easily after the removal of a short-circuit or if the shutdown pin is pulled high after the input voltage has already been turned on. The load line for such a load intersects the output current curve at two points. If this happens, the regulator has two stable output operating points. 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. Shutdown/UVLO The SHDN pin is used to put the LT3015 into a micropower shutdown state. The LT3015 has an accurate -1.20V threshold (during turn-on) on the SHDN pin. This threshold can be used in conjunction with a resistor divider from the system input supply to define an accurate undervoltage lockout (UVLO) threshold for the regulator. The SHDN pin current (at the threshold) needs to be considered when determining the resistor divider network. Thermal Considerations The LT3015's maximum rated junction temperature of 125C limits its power handling capability. Two components comprise the power dissipated by the device: 1. Output current multiplied by the input-to-output differential voltage: IOUT * (VIN - VOUT) and 2. GND pin current multiplied by the input voltage: IGND * VIN Determine GND pin current using the GND Pin Current curves in the Typical Performance Characteristics sec tion. Total power dissipation is the sum of the above two components. The LT3015 regulators incorporate a thermal shutdown circuit designed to protect the device during overload conditions. The typical thermal shutdown temperature is 165C and the circuit incorporates about 8C of hysteresis. For continuous normal conditions, do not exceed the maximum junction temperature rating of 125C. Carefully consider all sources of thermal resistance from junction to ambient, including other heat sources mounted in close proximity to the LT3015. The undersides of the DFN and MSOP packages have ex posed metal from the lead frame to the die attachment. Both packages allow heat to directly transfer from the die junction to the printed circuit board metal to control maximum operating junction temperature. The dual-in-line pin arrangement allows metal to extend beyond the ends of the package on the topside (component side) of the PCB. Connect this metal to IN on the PCB. The multiple IN and OUT pins of the LT3015 also assist in spreading heat to the PCB. For surface mount devices, heat sinking is accomplished by using the heat spreading capabilities of the PC board and its copper traces. Copper board stiffeners and plated through-holes can also be used to spread the heat generated by power devices. Tables 2-4 list thermal resistance as a function of copper area in a fixed board size. All measurements were taken in still air on a 4 layer FR-4 board with 1oz solid internal planes and 2oz top/bottom external trace planes with a total board thickness of 1.6mm. The four layers were electrically isolated with no thermal vias present. PCB layers, copper weight, board layout and thermal vias will affect the resultant thermal resistance. For more information on thermal resistance and high thermal conductivity test boards, refer to JEDEC standard JESD51, notably JESD51-12 and JESD51-7. Achieving low thermal resistance necessitates attention to detail and careful PCB layout. 3015fb 18 LT3015 Series APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Table 2.

TJMAX = 85C + 20.7C = 105.7C Precision current limit and thermal overload protections are intended to protect the LT3015 against current overload conditions at the output of the device. For normal operation, do not allow the the junction temperature to exceed 125C. Pulling the LT3015's output above ground induces no damage to the part. If IN is left open circuit or grounded, OUT can be pulled above GND by 30V. In addition, OUT acts like an open circuit, i.e. no current flows into the pin. If IN is powered by a voltage source, OUT sinks the LT3105's short-circuit current and protects itself by thermal limiting. In this case, grounding the SHDN pin turns off the device and stops OUT from sinking the short-circuit current. The power dissipated by the LT3015 equals: IOUT(MAX) * (VIN(MAX) - VOUT) + IGND * (VIN(MAX)) where: IOUT(MAX) = -500mA VIN(MAX) = -3.465V IGND at (IOUT = -500mA, VIN = -3.465V) = -6.5mA 3015fb 19 LT3015 Series TYPICAL APPLICATIONS Adjustable Current Sink R1 2k C1 10F LT1004-1.2 R3 2k VIN < -2.3V R8 100k GND R2 82.5k C2 10F LT3015 R4 0.01 R5 2.2k SHDN ADJ IN OUT R6 2.2k C3 1F 2 3 - + R7 475 8 1/2 LT1350 C4 3.3F RLOAD 1 4 3015 TA04 NOTE: ADJUST R3 FOR 0 TO -1.5A CONSTANT CURRENT 3015fb 20 LT3015 Series PACKAGE DESCRIPTION Please refer to http://www.linear.com/designtools/packaging/ for the most recent package drawings.
