μA IQ, Low Dropout Voltage Linear Regulator
General Description
The RT9068 family are high voltage (60V operation), low
quiescent current low dropout linear regulators capable of
supplying 50mA of output current with a maximum dropout
voltage of 300mV. The low quiescent and shutdown
currents (30μA operating and 2μA shutdown) are ideal for
use in battery-powered and/or high voltage systems.
Ground current is well-controlled in all conditions, including
dropout.
The RT9068 family operates with any reasonable output
capacitors including 1μF low-ESR ceramic types and
features excellent line and load transient responses.
Internal protection circuitry includes reverse-battery
protection, current limiting, thermal shutdown, and reverse
current protection. Output voltage accuracy is ±2% over
the entire line and load range.
These devices are available in 3 fixed-output versions
(2.5V, 3.3V, 5V) as well as a version that supports an
adjustable output voltage (1.25V to 60V). All versions
come in SOP-8 and MSOP-8 packages with an exposed
pad for high power dissipation.

Output voltage sense. For applications with VOUT 25V,
SENSE can be connected to the output voltage to optimize
the control loop compensation.
For applications with VOUT > 25V (adjustable versions only),

is optimized by adding a feed-forward capacitor in the

disable the output voltage and reduce the IC’s quiescent

Operation
The RT9068 is a high input-voltage linear regulator
specifically designed to minimize external components.
The input voltage range is from 4.5V to 60V. The device
supplies 50mA of output current with a maximum dropout
voltage of 300mV. Its 30μA quiescent and 2μA shutdown
currents make it ideal for use in battery-powered
applications. Unlike many PNP LDO regulators, ground
current does not increase much in dropout conditions.
Output Transistor
The RT9068 includes a built-in PNP output transistor
configured for low dropout voltage. The output transistor
blocks reverse current if the output voltage is held higher
than the input voltage (such as in battery-backup
applications) so no additional output blocking diode is
needed.
Error Amplifier
The Error Amplifier compares the output feedback voltage
from an internal feedback voltage divider (fixed output
versions) or FB (adjustable output versions) to an internal
reference voltage and controls the PNP output transistor's
base current to maintain output voltage regulation. The
RT9068's internal dividers are placed between SENSE and
GND and have a divider resistance of about 1MΩ.
Current Limit Protection
The RT9068 provides a current limit function to prevent
damage during output over-load or shorted-circuit
conditions. The output current is detected by an internal
current-sense transistor.
Over-Temperature Protection
The over temperature protection function will turn off the
PNP output transistor when the internal junction
temperature exceeds 155°C (typ.). Once the junction
temperature cools down by approximately 5°C, the
regulator will automatically resume operation.
Reverse-Battery Protection
The RT9068 inputs (VIN and SHDN) can withstand reverse
voltages as high as 60V. Both the IC and the load are
protected, as long as the load impedance is 500Ω or less.
In these conditions, the output voltage is guaranteed to
be no more negative than 1V with the maximum negative
input voltage. In battery-powered applications, no
additional protection against battery reversal is typically
needed.
Reverse-Output Protection
The RT9068 protects against current flow to the input (VIN)
when the output voltage exceeds VIN. This simplifies
battery and capacitive keep-alive circuits since they
need no additional output blocking diode.
Shutdown Input (8 Pin Versions)
The RT9068 SHDN input is an active-high input that turns
off the output transistor and reduces the quiescent current
to 2μA typical. Connect SHDN to a voltage below 0.6V for
normal operation.

Applications Information
The RT9068 is a high input-voltage linear regulator
specifically designed to minimize external components.
The input voltage range is from 4.5V to 60V. The device
supplies 50mA of output current with a maximum dropout
voltage of 300mV.
Fixed VOUT Applications
The fixed output versions are equipped with internal
resistive dividers to set the output voltage to 2.5V, 3.3V,
or 5V, respectively. The total resistance of the each internal
feedback divider is about 1MΩ The internal dividers connect
between SENSE and GND, with the midpoint connecting
to the input of the error amplifier. These versions are all
internally compensated.
Adjustable Output Voltage and Compensation
RT9068
The adjustable output versions may be set to provide from
1.25V to 60V, using external feedback voltage divider
resistors (Figure 1). These included an internal feed-
forward compensation capacitor, connected between
SENSE and FB, which may be used when regulating at
output voltages up to 25V. To achieve the correct
compensation (together with your external FB divider, use
an upper divider resistor (R1) value between 500kΩ and
1MΩ. Calculate R2 according to the following formula :
R2 = R1 / (VOUT / 1.25V 1).
For output voltages greater than 25V an external feed-
forward capacitor (Figure 2) should be used and SENSE
should be left unconnected. Choose a lower divider resistor
(R2) at least 10kΩ and calculate R1 according to the
following formula : R1 = R2 x (VOUT / 1.25V 1), Then,
calculate the compensation capacitor (CCOMP) value
according to the following formula : CCOMP = 25μs / R1.

Remote-Sense Applications
Since VOUT and SENSE (and FB) are separate pins, it is
possible to connect SENSE to the output voltage remotely
at the load (as long as the output voltage is 25V or less).
FB can also be connected remotely, with SENSE
unconnected if the output exceeds 25V. Remote sensing
eliminates output voltage errors due to any resistive voltage
drop between VOUT and the load. (Voltage drops in the
ground connection cannot be compensated.)
Added External NPN for High-Current Applications
Higher output currents and/or increased power dissipation
are possible using an external NPN output transistor. VOUT
drives the base of the transistor and SENSE and/or FB
monitors the actual output voltage, as in normal
applications. The fixed-output versions (Figure 3) or
adjustable-output version (Figure 4) can be used.
Figure 3 and Figure 4 have no current limit and should be
used with care. If a crude current limit is desired, add the
two diodes and resistor shown in Figure 5. The approximate
current limit is 0.7V/R3. Any small switching diodes can
be used and size R3 for the power dissipated in R3, which
is typically 0.7V x 0.7V / R3.

Component Selection
A low-ESR capacitor such as ceramic type must be
connected between VIN and GND with short, wide traces
to bypass input noise. RT9068 is designed to work with
small input capacitor to reduce the cost from high-voltage
low-ESR requirement. To guarantee a minimum 0.1μF input
capacitance, a ceramic 0.18μF input capacitor with an
appropriate voltage rating is recommended.
The RT9068 operates with any reasonable output capacitor
including low-ESR ceramic types. Low-ESR aluminum and
tantalum capacitor may also be used. A minimum of 1μF
is recommended and much higher values are also
acceptable. Connect the output capacitor between VOUT
and GND with short, wide traces to keep the circuit stable.
Thermal Considerations
For continuous operation, do not exceed absolute
maximum junction temperature. The maximum power
dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of the IC
package, PCB layout, rate of surrounding airflow, and
difference between junction and ambient temperature. The
maximum power dissipation can be calculated by the
following formula :
Figure 6. Derating Curve of Maximum Power Dissipation
PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX) TA) / θJA
where TJ(MAX) is the maximum junction temperature, TA is
the ambient temperature, and θJA is the junction to ambient
thermal resistance.
For recommended operating condition specifications, the
maximum junction temperature is 125°C. The junction to
ambient thermal resistance, θJA, is layout dependent. For
MSOP-8 (Exposed Pad) package, the thermal resistance,
θJA, is 47.4°C/W on a standard JEDEC 51-7 four-layer
thermal test board. For SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) package,
the thermal resistance, θJA, is 30.6°C/W on a standard
JEDEC 51-7 four-layer thermal test board. The maximum
power dissipation at TA = 25°C can be calculated by the
following formulas :
PD(MAX) = (125°C 25°C) / (47.4°C/W) = 2.1W for
MSOP-8 (Exposed Pad) package
PD(MAX) = (125°C 25°C) / (30.6°C/W) = 3.26W for
SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) package
The maximum power dissipation depends on operating
ambient temperature for fixed TJ(MAX) and thermal
resistance, θJA. The derating curves in Figure 6 allow the
designer to see the effect of rising ambient temperature
on the maximum power dissipation.
