Dropout Voltage
The LT
®
3012B is a high voltage, micropower low dropout
linear regulator. The device is capable of supplying 250mA
of output current with a dropout voltage of 400mV. De-
signed for use in battery-powered or high voltage sys-
tems, the low quiescent current (40µA operating) makes
the LT3012B an ideal choice. Quiescent current is also well
controlled in dropout.
Other features of the LT3012B include the ability to oper-
ate with very small output capacitors. The regulators are
stable with only 3.3µF on the output while most older
devices require between 10µF and 100µF for stability.
Small ceramic capacitors can be used without any need for
series resistance (ESR) as is common with other regula-
tors. Internal protection circuitry includes reverse-battery
protection, current limiting, thermal limiting and reverse
current protection.
The device is available with an adjustable output with a
1.24V reference voltage. The LT3012B regulator is avail-
able in the 16-lead TSSOP and 12 pin low profile (0.75mm)
(4mm × 3mm) DFN packages with an exposed pad for
enhanced thermal handling capability.
