The device supplies 200mA of output current with a typical dropout voltage of 300mV. A single external capacitor provides programmable low noise reference performance and output soft-start functionality. The LT3063's quiescent current is merely 45A and provides fast transient response with a minimum 3.3F output capacitor. In shutdown, quiescent current is less than 3A and the reference soft-start capacitor is reset. The LT3063 features an NMOS pull-down that discharges the output if SHDN or IN is driven low. Internal protection circuitry includes reverse-battery protection, reverse-current protection, current limit with foldback and thermal shutdown. The LT3063 is available in fixed output voltages of 3.3V and 5V, and as an adjustable device with an output voltage range from the 600mV reference up to 19V. The LT3063 is offered in the thermally enhanced 8-lead 2mm x 3mm DFN and MSOP packages.

Exposure to any Absolute Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device reliability and lifetime. Note 2: Absolute maximum input to output differential voltage is not achievable with all combinations of rated IN pin and OUT pin voltages. With the IN pin at 50V, the OUT pin may not be pulled below 0V. The total measured voltage from IN to OUT must not exceed 50V. Note 3: The LT3063 is tested and specified under pulse load conditions such that TJ TA. The LT3063E regulators are 100% tested at TA = 25C and performance is guaranteed from 0C to 125C. Performance at -40C to 125C is assured by design, characterization and correlation with statistical process controls. The LT3063I regulators are guaranteed over the full -40C to 125C operating junction temperature range. The LT3063MP regulators are 100% tested over the -55C to 150C operating junction temperature. The LT3063H regulators are 100% tested at the 150C operating junction temperature. High junction temperatures degrade operating lifetimes. Operating lifetime is derated at junction temperature greater than 125C. Note 4: The LT3063 adjustable version is tested and specified for these conditions with the ADJ connected to the OUT pin. Note 5: Maximum junction temperature limits operating conditions. The regulated output voltage specification does not apply for all possible combinations of input voltage and output current. Limit the output current range if operating at the maximum input voltage. Limit the input-to-output voltage differential if operating at maximum output current. Current limit foldback limits the maximum output current as a function of input-tooutput voltage. See Current Limit vs VIN - VOUT in the Typical Performance Characteristics section. 4 Note 6: To satisfy minimum input voltage requirements, the LT3063 adjustable version is tested and specified for these conditions with an external resistor divider (bottom 60k, top 230k) for an output voltage of 2.9V. The external resistor divider adds 10A of DC load on the output. The external current is not factored into GND pin current. Note 7: Dropout voltage is the minimum input-to-output voltage differential needed to maintain regulation at a specified output current. In dropout, the output voltage equals: (VIN - VDROPOUT). Note 8: GND pin current is tested with VIN = VOUT(NOMINAL) + 0.6V and a current source load. GND pin current will increase in dropout. See GND pin current curves in the Typical Performance Characteristics section. For fixed voltage options, an internal resistor divider will add 5A to the GND pin current. See the GND Pin Current curves in the Typical Performance Characteristics section. Note 9: ADJ pin bias current flows out of the ADJ pin. Note 10: SHDN pin current flows into the SHDN pin. Note 11: To satisfy requirements for minimum input voltage, current limit is tested at VIN = VOUT(NOMINAL) + 1V or VIN = 2.1V, whichever is greater. Note 12: This IC includes thermal limit which protects the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction temperature exceeds 125C (Eand I-Grades) or 150C (MP- and H-Grades) when thermal limit is active. Continuous operation above the specified maximum junction temperature may impair device reliability. 3063fa For more information www.linear.com/LT3063 LT3063 Series TYPICAL PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS Typical Dropout Voltage 500 500 TJ = 150C 350 TJ = 125C 300 250 TJ = 25C 200 = TEST POINTS 150 500 TJ = 150C 450 400 400 350 TJ = 25C 300 250 200 150 400 300 250 150 100 50 50 50 0 0 50 75 100 125 150 175 200 OUTPUT CURRENT (mA) 0 3063 G02 Quiescent Current LT3063-3.3 LT3063-3.3Output OutputVoltage Voltage VIN = VSHDN = 6V 70 VOUT = 5V IL = 5A LT3063-5 LT3063-5 Output Output Voltage Voltage 5.100 IL = 1mA 3.355 30 20 VIN = 6V ALL OTHER PINS = 0V 0 -75 -50 -25 0 25 50 75 100 125 150 175 TEMPERATURE (C) 3.333 5.060 3.322 5.040 OUTPUT VOLTAGE (V) OUTPUT VOLTAGE (V) 40 IL = 1mA 5.080 3.344 50 10 3063 G03 3.366 80 60 IL = 10mA 0 -75 -50 -25 0 25 50 75 100 125 150 175 TEMPERATURE (C) 50 75 100 125 150 175 200 OUTPUT CURRENT (mA) 25 IL = 50mA 200 100 25 IL = 100mA 350 100 0 IL = 200mA 450 3063 G01 QUIESCENT CURRENT (A) Dropout Voltage 550 DROPOUT VOLTAGE (mV) 550 DROPOUT VOLTAGE (mV) DROPOUT VOLTAGE (mV) Guaranteed Dropout Voltage 550 450 TA = 25C, unless otherwise noted. 3.311 3.300 3.289 3.278 3.267 5.020 5.000 4.980 4.960 3.256 4.940 3.245 4.920 3.234 -75 -50 -25 0 25 50 75 100 125 150 175 TEMPERATURE (C) 4.900 -75 -50 -25 0 25 50 75 100 125 150 175 TEMPERATURE (C) LT3063 G05 LT3063 G06 3063 G04 LT3063-3.3 LT3063-3.3 Quiescent Quiescent Current Current LT3063 ADJ Pin Voltage 610 IL = 1mA QUIESCENT CURRENT (A) ADJ PIN VOLTAGE (mV) 608 606 604 602 600 598 596 594 592 250 225 225 200 200 175 150 125 100 75 VSHDN = VIN 50 25 590 588 -75 -50 -25 0 25 50 75 100 125 150 175 TEMPERATURE (C) LT3063-5 LT3063-5 Quiescent Current 250 QUIESCENT CURRENT (A) 612 0 VSHDN = 0V 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 VIN (V) 8 9 10 11 12 3063 G08 175 150 125 100 75 VSHDN = VIN 50 25 0 VSHDN = 0V 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 VIN (V) 8 9 10 11 12 3063 G09 3063 G07 3063fa For more information www.linear.com/LT3063 5 LT3063 Series TYPICAL PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS Quiescent Current 5.0 70 60 50 40 30 3.5 3.0 2.5 1.5 1.0 10 0.5 VSHDN = 0V, RL = 0 20 25 VIN (V) 30 35 40 0 45 RL = 66, IL = 50mA RL = 3.3k, IL = 1mA 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 VIN (V) 8 3063 G10 GND Pin Current, VOUT = 0.6V 10 RL = 3, IL = 200mA 3.5 3.0 2.5 RL = 6, IL = 100mA 1.5 RL = 12, IL = 50mA 1.0 0.5 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 VIN (V) 7 8 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 RL = 600, IL = 1mA 0 10 0 25 50 75 100 125 150 175 200 ILOAD (mA) 2.5 2.5 1.0 0.5 RL = 50, IL = 100mA 2.0 1.5 1.0 RL = 100, IL = 50mA 0.5 RL = 5k, IL = 1mA 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 VIN (V) 8 9 10 11 12 3063 G12 1.5 1.4 1.3 1.2 1.1 1.0 0.9 OFF TO ON 0.8 0.7 0.6 ON TO OFF 0.5 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.1 0 -75 -50 -25 0 25 50 75 100 125 150 175 TEMPERATURE (C) 3063 G15 SHDN Pin Input Current 3.0 SHDN PIN INPUT CURRENT (A) SHDN PIN INPUT CURRENT (A) SHDN Pin Input Current 3.0 1.5 2.5 3063 G14 3063 G13 2.0 3.0 SHDN Pin Threshold SHDN PIN THRESHOLD (V) 4.0 2.0 3063 G11 VIN = VOUT(NOMINAL) +1V 9 GND PIN CURRENT (mA) GND PIN CURRENT (mA) 4.5 9 10 11 12 GND Pin Current vs ILOAD 5.0 3.5 0 ADJ Pin Bias Current 50 SHDN = 45V 2.0 1.5 1.0 0.5 40 ADJ PIN BIAS CURRENT (nA) 15 RL = 33, IL = 100mA 2.0 20 RL = 25, IL = 200mA 4.0 GND PIN CURRENT (mA) 80 10 4.5 RL = 16.5, IL = 200mA 4.0 90 5 5.0 4.5 GND PIN CURRENT (mA) QUIESCENT CURRENT (A) TJ = 25C 110 V OUT = 5V 100 IL = 10A 0 LT3063-5 GND GND Pin Pin Current Current LT3063-5 LT3063-3.3 GND Pin Current 120 0 TA = 25C, unless otherwise noted. 30 20 10 0 -10 -20 -30 -40 0 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 SHDN PIN VOLTAGE (V) 40 45 3063 G16 0 -75 -50 -25 0 25 50 75 100 125 150 175 TEMPERATURE (C) 3063 G17 -50 -75 -50 -25 0 25 50 75 100 125 150 175 TEMPERATURE (C) 3063 G18 6 3063fa For more information www.linear.com/LT3063 LT3063 Series TYPICAL PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS Internal Current Limit Internal Current Limit OUTPUT DISCHARGE TIME (ms) 400 300 CURRENT LIMIT (mA) CURRENT LIMIT (mA) 4.0 VIN = 7V 450 VOUT = 0V 350 250 200 150 TJ = 150C TJ = 125C TJ = 25C TJ = -40C TJ = -55C 100 50 0 350 300 250 200 150 100 50 0 -75 -50 -25 0 25 50 75 100 125 150 175 TEMPERATURE (C) 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 INPUT/OUTPUT VOLTAGE DIFFERENTIAL (V) OUT = 20V OUT = 12V OUT = 5V OUT = 3.3V OUT = 1.2V 6 5 3.0 2.5 2.0 1.5 OUTPUT DISCHARGE FOLDBACK STARTS 1.0 0.5 0 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 OUTPUT VOLTAGE (V) 3063 G21 Output Discharge vs VOUT CREF/BYP = 0 Output Discharge Time COUT = 10F, VIN = VOUT + 1V 7 COUT = 10F 3.5 VIN = VOUT + 1V 3063 G20 3063 G19 OUTPUT DISCHARGE TIME (ms) Output Discharge Time 500 400 0 TA = 25C, unless otherwise noted.

Connecting a single capacitor from this pin to GND bypasses the LT3063's reference noise and soft-starts the reference. A 10nF bypass capacitor typically reduces output voltage noise to 30VRMS in a 10Hz to 100kHz bandwidth. Soft-start time is directly proportional to the REF/BYP capacitor value. If the LT3063 is placed in shutdown, REF/BYP is actively pulled low by an internal device to reset soft-start. If low noise or soft-start performance is not required, this pin must be left floating (unconnected). Do not drive this pin with any active circuitry. ADJ (Pin 2): Adjust. This pin is the error amplifier's inverting terminal. Its typical bias current of 15nA flows out of the pin (see curve of ADJ Pin Bias Current vs Temperature in the Typical performance Characteristics section). The ADJ pin voltage is 600mV referenced to GND. OUT (Pins 3, 4): Output. These pins supply power to the load. A minimum output capacitor of 3.3F is required 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 reverse output characteristics. The output voltage range is 600mV to 19V. If the LT3063 is placed in shutdown, OUT is actively discharged by an internal NMOS device. Gate drive is controlled to insure that a 10F capacitor is discharged 90% in 2ms or less. If IN is driven low, OUT is actively discharged to ~800mV. For OUT voltages greater than 6V, current limit foldback is implemented to protect the NMOS device and discharge rates increase. See the Applications Information section for more information. IN (Pins 5, 6): Input. These pins supply power to the device. The LT3063 requires a bypass capacitor at IN if the device is located more than six inches from the main input filter capacitor. In general, the output impedance of a battery rises with frequency, so it is advisable to include a bypass capacitor in battery-powered circuits. A bypass capacitor in the range of 1F to 10F suffices. See Input Capacitance and Stability in the Application Information section for more information. The LT3063 withstands reverse voltages on the IN pin with respect to the GND and OUT pins. In a reversed input situation, such as the battery plugged in backwards, the LT3063 behaves as if a large value resistor is in series with its input. Limited reverse current flows into the LT3063 and no reverse voltage appears at the load. The device protects itself and the load. SHDN (Pin 7): Shutdown. Pulling the SHDN pin low puts the LT3063 into a low power state and turns the output off. Drive the SHDN pin with either logic or an open collector/drain with a pull-up resistor. The resistor supplies the pull-up current to the open collector/drain logic, normally several microamperes, and the SHDN pin current, typically less than 3A. If unused, connect the SHDN pin to VIN. The LT3063 does not function if the SHDN pin is not connected. The SHDN pin cannot be driven below GND unless tied to the IN pin. If the SHDN pin is driven below GND while IN is powered, the output will turn on. SHDN pin logic cannot be referenced to a negative rail. GND (Pin 8, Exposed Pad Pin 9): Ground. Connect the bottom of the external resistor divider that sets the output voltage directly to GND for optimum regulation. Tie the exposed pad Pin 9 directly to Pin 8 and the PCB ground. This exposed pad provides enhanced thermal performance with its connection to the PCB ground. See the Applications Information section for thermal considerations and calculating junction temperature. 3063fa For more information www.linear.com/LT3063 11 LT3063 Series APPLICATIONS INFORMATION The LT3063 is a 200mA low dropout regulator with shutdown that is available in fixed output and adjustable versions. The device is capable of supplying 200mA at a typical dropout voltage of 300mV and operates over a 1.6V to 45V input range. A single external capacitor provides programmable low noise reference performance and output soft-start functionality. For example, connecting a 10nF capacitor from the REF/BYP pin to GND lowers output noise to 30VRMS over a 10Hz to 100kHz bandwidth. This capacitor also soft-starts the reference and prevents output voltage overshoot at turn-on. The LT3063's quiescent current is merely 45A, while providing fast transient response with a 3.3F minimum low ESR ceramic output capacitor. In shutdown, quiescent current is less than 3A and the reference soft-start capacitor and output are reset. The LT3063 optimizes stability and transient response with low ESR, ceramic output capacitors. The LT3063 does not require the addition of ESR as is common with other regulators. The LT3063 has an adjustable output and typically provides 0.1% line regulation and 0.1% load regulation. A curve of load regulation appears in the Typical Performance Characteristics section. The LT3063 discharges the output in shutdown. Internal protection circuitry includes reverse-battery protection, reverse-current protection, current limit with foldback and thermal shutdown. Adjustable Operation The adjustable LT3063 has an output voltage range of 0.6V to 19V. Output voltage is set by the ratio of two external resistors, as shown in Figure 1. The device regulates the output to maintain the ADJ pin voltage at 0.6V referenced to ground. The current in R1 equals 0.6V/R1, and R2's current is R1's current minus the ADJ pin bias current. The ADJ pin bias current, 15nA at 25C, flows from the ADJ pin through R1 to GND. Calculate the output voltage using the formula in Figure 1. R1's value should not be greater than 124k to provide a minimum ~5A load current so that output voltage errors, caused by the ADJ pin 12 bias current, are minimized. Note that in shutdown, the output is turned off and the divider current is zero. Curves of ADJ Pin Voltage vs Temperature and ADJ Pin Bias Current vs Temperature appear in the Typical Performance Characteristics section. IN VIN OUT LT3063 SHDN VOUT R2 !

Adjustable Operation The LT3063 is tested and specified with the ADJ pin tied to the OUT pin for an output voltage of 0.6V. Specifications for output voltages greater than 0.6V are proportional to the ratio of the desired output voltage to 0.6V: VOUT/0.6V. For example, load regulation for an output current change of 1mA to 200mA is -0.3mV typical at VOUT = 0.6V. At VOUT = 12V, load regulation is: 12V * ( -0.3mV ) = -6mV 0.6V Table 1 shows 1% resistor divider values for some common output voltages with a resistor divider current of 5A. Table 1.

A good quality, low leakage capacitor is recommended. This capacitor bypasses the error amplifier of the regulator, providing a low frequency noise pole. With the use of 5nF for both CFF and CREF/BYP, output voltage noise decreases to 30VRMS when the output voltage is set to 5V by a 5A feedback resistor divider. If the current in the feedback resistor divider is doubled, CFF must also be doubled to achieve equivalent noise performance. Higher values of output voltage noise may be measured if care is not exercised with regard to circuit layout and testing. Crosstalk from nearby traces can induce unwanted noise onto the LT3063's output. Power supply ripple rejection must also be considered. The LT3063 regulator does not have unlimited power supply rejection and will pass a small portion of the input noise through to the output. Using a feedforward capacitor (CFF) from VOUT to the ADJ pin has the added benefit of improving transient response for output voltages greater than 0.6V. With no feedforward capacitor, the settling time will increase as the output voltage is raised above 0.6V. Use the equation in Figure 2 to determine the minimum value of CFF to achieve a transient response that is similar to 0.6V output voltage performance regardless of the chosen output voltage (see Figure 3 and Transient Response in the Typical Performance Characteristics section).

A good quality low leakage capacitor is recommended. This capacitor bypasses the reference of the regulator, providing a low frequency noise pole for the internal reference. With the use of 10nF for CREF/BYP, the output voltage noise decreases to as low as 30VRMS when the output voltage is set for 0.6V. For higher output voltages (generated by using a resistor divider), the output voltage noise gains up accordingly when using CREF/BYP by itself.

Transient Response vs Feedforward Capacitor Feedforward capacitance can also be used in fixed-voltage parts; the feedforward capacitor is connected from OUT to ADJ in the same manner. In this case, the current in the internal feedback resistor divider is 5A. During start-up, the internal reference soft-starts if a reference bypass capacitor is present. Regulator startup time is directly proportional to the size of the bypass capacitor, slowing to 6ms with a 10nF bypass capacitor (See SHDN Transient Response vs REF/BYP Capacitor in the Typical Performance Characteristics section). The reference bypass capacitor is actively pulled low during shutdown to reset the internal reference. Start-up time is also affected by the use of a feedforward capacitor. Start-up time is directly proportional to the size of the feedforward capacitor and output voltage, and is inversely proportional to the feedback resistor divider current, slowing to 15ms with a 4.7nF feedforward capacitor and a 10F output capacitor for an output voltage set to 5V by a 5A feedback resistor divider. 3063fa For more information www.linear.com/LT3063 13 LT3063 Series APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Give extra consideration to the use of ceramic capacitors. Manufacturers make ceramic capacitors with a variety of dielectrics, each with different behavior across temperature and applied voltage. The most common dielectrics are specified with EIA temperature characteristic codes of Z5U, Y5V, X5R and X7R. The Z5U and Y5V dielectrics provide high C-V products in a small package at low cost, but exhibit strong voltage and temperature coefficients as shown in Figures 4 and 5. 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 yield much more stable characteristics and are more suitable for use as the output capacitor. The X7R type works over a wider temperature range and has better temperature stability, 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. 20 BOTH CAPACITORS ARE 16V, 1210 CASE SIZE, 10F 0 CHANGE IN VALUE (%) The LT3063 regulator is 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 3.3F with an ESR of 3 or less to prevent oscillations. The LT3063 is a micropower device and output 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. Bypass capacitors, used to decouple individual components powered by the LT3063, will increase the effective output capacitor value. For applications with large load current transients, a low ESR ceramic capacitor in parallel with a bulk tantalum capacitor often provides an optimally damped response. Voltage and temperature coefficients are not the only sources of problems. Some ceramic capacitors have a piezoelectric response.

Noise Resulting from Tapping on a Ceramic Capacitor 14 3063fa For more information www.linear.com/LT3063 LT3063 Series APPLICATIONS INFORMATION voltage across its terminals due to mechanical stress, similar to the way a piezoelectric accelerometer or 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. Input Capacitance and Stability Low ESR, ceramic input bypass capacitors are acceptable for applications without long input leads. However, applications connecting a power supply to an LT3063 circuit's IN and GND pins with long input wires combined with a low ESR, ceramic input capacitor are prone to voltage spikes, reliability concerns and application-specific board oscillations. The input wire inductance found in many battery-powered applications, combined with the low ESR ceramic input capacitor, forms a high Q LC resonant tank circuit. In some instances this resonant frequency beats against the output current dependent LDO bandwidth and interferes with proper operation. Simple circuit modifications/solutions are then required. This behavior is not indicative of LT3063 instability, but is a common ceramic input bypass capacitor application issue. The self-inductance, or isolated inductance, of a wire is directly proportional to its length. Wire diameter is not a major factor on its self-inductance. For example, the selfinductance of a 2-AWG isolated wire (diameter = 0.26") is about half the self-inductance of a 30-AWG wire (diameter = 0.01"). One foot of 30-AWG wire has approximately 465nH of self-inductance. Two methods can reduce wire self-inductance. One method divides the current flowing towards the LT3063 between two parallel conductors. In this case, the farther apart the wires are from each other, the more the self-inductance is reduced; up to a 50% reduction when placed a few inches apart. Splitting the wires connects two equal inductors in parallel, but placing them in close proximity creates mutual inductance adding to the self-inductance. The second and most effective way to reduce overall inductance is to place both forward and return current conductors (the input and GND wires) in very close proximity. Two 30-AWG wires separated by only 0.02", used as forward and return current conductors, reduce the overall self-inductance to approximately one-fifth that of a single isolated wire. If a battery, mounted in close proximity, powers the LT3063, a 1F input capacitor suffices for stability. However, if a distant supply powers the LT3063, use a larger value input capacitor. Use a rough guideline of 1F (in addition to the 1F minimum) per 8 inches of wire length. The minimum input capacitance needed to stabilize the application also varies with power supply output impedance variations. Placing additional capacitance on the LT3063's output also helps. However, this requires an order of magnitude more capacitance in comparison with additional LT3063 input bypassing. Series resistance between the supply and the LT3063 input also helps stabilize the application; as little as 0.1 to 0.5 suffices. This impedance dampens the LC tank circuit at the expense of dropout voltage. A better alternative is to use higher ESR tantalum or electrolytic capacitors at the LT3063 input in place of ceramic capacitors. Overload Recovery Like many IC power regulators, the LT3063 has safe operating area protection. The safe area protection decreases current limit as input-to-output voltage increases and keeps the power transistor inside a safe operating region for all values of input-to-output voltage. The protective design provides some output current at all values of input-tooutput voltage up to the device breakdown. When power is first applied, as input voltage rises, the output follows the input, allowing the regulator to start up into very heavy loads. During start-up, as the input voltage is rising, the input-to-output voltage differential is small, allowing the regulator to supply large output currents. With a high input voltage, a problem can occur wherein removal of an output short will not allow the output to recover. 3063fa For more information www.linear.com/LT3063 15 LT3063 Series APPLICATIONS INFORMATION The problem occurs with a heavy output load when the input voltage is high and the output voltage is low. Common situations include immediately 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 may intersect the output current curve at two points. If this happens, there are two stable output operating points for the regulator. 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. Thermal Considerations The power handling capability of the device will be limited by the maximum rated junction temperature (125C for LT3063E, LT3063I or 150C for LT3063MP, LT3063H). Two components comprise the power dissipated by the device: 1. Output current multiplied by the input/output voltage differential: IOUT * (VIN - VOUT), and 2. GND pin current multiplied by the input voltage: IGND * VIN GND pin current is determined using the GND Pin Current curves in the Typical Performance Characteristics section. Power dissipation equals the sum of the two components listed above. The LT3063 regulator has internal thermal limiting that protects the device during overload conditions. For continuous normal conditions, the maximum junction temperature of 125C (E-grade, I-grade) or 150C (MP-grade, H-grade) must not be exceeded. Carefully consider all sources of thermal resistance from junction to ambient including other heat sources mounted in proximity to the LT3063. The undersides of the LT3063 packages have exposed metal from the lead frame to the die attachment. The package allows 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 a PCB. Connect this metal to GND on the PCB. The multiple IN and OUT pins of the LT3063 also assist in spreading heat to the PCB. 16 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. The following tables list thermal resistance for several different board sizes and copper areas. 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. Table 2.

The power dissipated by the device equals: IOUT(MAX) * (VIN(MAX)-VOUT) + IGND * VIN(MAX) where, IOUT(MAX) = 50mA Control circuitry drives the gate of the NMOS high if either the SHDN pin or the IN pin are driven low. In the case where the IN pin is driven to ground, the NMOS rapidly discharges the OUT pin to the threshold voltage of the NMOS, approximately 800mV. From 800mV, the external load discharges the OUT pin at a reduced rate. The control circuitry implements protection features which allow the OUT pin to be driven from -1V to 20V without damaging the LT3063. Current limit foldback for output voltages greater than 6V protects the NMOS pull-down, but increases discharge times for higher output voltages. VIN(MAX) = 12.6V So, P = 50mA * (12.6V - 2.5V) + 1mA * 12.6V = 0.518W Using a DFN package, the thermal resistance will be in the range of 38C/W to 45C/W depending on the copper area. So the junction temperature rise above ambient is approximately equal to: OUTPUT DISCHARGE TIME (ms) 4.0 IGND at (IOUT = 50mA, VIN = 12V) = 1mA COUT = 10F 3.5 VIN = VOUT + 1V 3.0 2.5 2.0 1.5 0.5 0.518W * 45C/W = 23.3C 0 The maximum junction temperature equals the maximum ambient temperature plus the maximum junction temperature rise above ambient or: TJMAX = 85C + 23.3C = 108.3C OUTPUT DISCHARGE FOLDBACK STARTS 1.0 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 OUTPUT VOLTAGE (V) 3063 F07 Figure 7. Discharge Time vs Output Voltage Protection Features Output Discharge The LT3063 includes a low resistance NMOS device which rapidly discharges the output voltage if the part is put in shutdown mode. For a 2.9V output with a 10F decoupling capacitor, the NMOS discharges the output to 290mV in 750s if SHDN is driven low. The LT3063 incorporates several protection features that make it ideal for use in battery-powered circuits. In addition to the normal protection features associated with monolithic regulators, such as current limiting and thermal limiting, the device also protects against reverse-input voltages and reverse output-to-input voltages. Current limit protection and thermal overload protection protect the device against current overload conditions at the output of the device. The typical thermal limit temperature is 165C. For normal operation, do not exceed a junction temperature of 125C (LT3063E, LT3063I) or 150C (LT3063MP, LT3063H). 3063fa For more information www.linear.com/LT3063 17 LT3063 Series APPLICATIONS INFORMATION The SHDN pin cannot be driven below GND unless tied to the IN pin. If the SHDN pin is driven below GND while IN is powered, the output will turn on. SHDN pin logic cannot be referenced to a negative rail. The LT3063 incurs no damage if the ADJ pin is pulled above or below ground by 50V. If the input is left open circuit or grounded, the ADJ pin performs like a large resistor (typically 30k) in series with a diode when pulled above or below ground. Several different input/output conditions can occur, some temporarily until the output capacitor is discharged by the LT3063. The output voltage may be held up temporarily or otherwise while the input is pulled to ground, pulled to some intermediate voltage or left open-circuit. Current flow back into the OUT pin follows the curve shown in Figure 8. If the LT3063's IN pin is forced below the OUT pin or the OUT pin is pulled above the IN pin, regardless of the state of the SHDN pin, input current typically drops to less than 3A. If IN is pulled near 0V, the output discharge pull-down NMOS turns on, regardless of the state of the SHDN pin. The gate drive for the pull-down is supplied by the output voltage. 50 VIN = VSHDN = 2.1V 45 VADJ = VOUT REVERSE CURRENT (A) The LT3063 IN pin withstands reverse voltages of 50V. The device limits current flow to less than 1mA (typically less than 250A) and no negative voltage appears at OUT.
