The LT
®
1129/LT1129-3.3/LT1129-5 are micropower low
dropout regulators with shutdown. The devices are ca-
pable of supplying 700mA of output current with a dropout
voltage of 0.4V at maximum output. Designed for use in
battery-powered systems the low quiescent current, 50μA
operating and 16μA in shutdown, make them an ideal
choice. The quiescent current does not rise in dropout as
it does with many other low dropout PNP regulators.
Other features of the LT1129 /LT1129-3.3/LT1129-5 in-
clude the ability to operate with small output capacitors.
They are stable with only 3.3μF on the output while most
older devices require between 10μF and 100μF for stabil-
ity. Also the input may be connected to ground or a reverse
voltage without reverse current flow from output to input.
This makes the LT1129/LT1129-3.3/LT1129-5 ideal for
backup power situations where the output is held high and
the input is at ground or reversed. Under these conditions,
only 16μA will flow from the output pin to ground. The
devices are available in 5-lead TO-220, 5-lead DD and
3-lead SOT-223 packages.
