All internal circuitry is designed to operate down to 1V input to output differential and the dropout voltage is fully specified as a function of load current. Dropout is guaranteed at a maximum of 1.5V at maximum output current, decreasing at lower load currents. On-chip trimming adjusts the output voltage to 1%. Current limit is also trimmed, minimizing the stress on both the regulator and power source circuitry under overload conditions. The LT1083 series devices are pin compatible with older three-terminal regulators. A 10μF output capacitor is required on these new devices; however, this is usually included in most regulator designs. Unlike PNP regulators, where up to 10% of the output current is wasted as quiescent current, the LT1083 quiescent current flows into the load, increasing efficiency. , LT, LTC and LTM are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.

They are short circuit protected, have safe area protection as well as thermal shutdown to turn off the regulator should the temperature exceed about 165°C. These regulators offer lower dropout voltage and more precise reference tolerance. Further, the reference stability with temperature is improved over older types of regulators. The only circuit difference between using the LT1083 family and older regulators is that they require an output capacitor for stability. Stability The circuit design used in the LT1083 family requires the use of an output capacitor as part of the device frequency compensation. For all operating conditions, the addition of 150μF aluminum electrolytic or a 22μF solid tantalum on the output will ensure stability. Normally capacitors much smaller than this can be used with the LT1083. Many different types of capacitors with widely varying charac- U W W THERMAL LIMIT VIN + – VOUT GND LT1083/4/5 BD UU teristics are available. These capacitors differ in capacitor tolerance (sometimes ranging up to ±100%), equivalent series resistance, and capacitance temperature coefficient. The 150μF or 22μF values given will ensure stability. Normally, capacitor values on the order of 100μF are used in the output of many regulators to ensure good transient response with heavy load current changes. Output capacitance can be increased without limit and larger values of output capacitance further improve stability and transient response of the LT1083 regulators. Another possible stability problem that can occur in monolithic IC regulators is current limit oscillations. These can occur because in current limit the safe area protection exhibits a negative impedance. The safe area protection decreases the current limit as the input-tooutput voltage increases.That is the equivalent of having a negitive resistance since increasing voltage causes current to decrease. Negitive resistance during current limit is not unique to the LT1083 series and has been present on all power IC regulators. The value of negative resistance is a function of how fast the current limit is 1083ffd 7 LT1083/LT1084/LT1085 Fixed APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO folded back as input-to-output voltage increases. This negative resistance can react with capacitors or inductors on the input to cause oscillations during current limiting. Depending on the value of series resistance, the overall circuitry may end up unstable. Since this is a system problem, it is not necessarily easy to solve; however it does not cause any problems with the IC regulator and can usually be ignored. Protection Diodes In normal operation the LT1083 family does not need any protection diodes, The internal diode between the input and the output pins of the LT1083 family can handle microsecond surge currents of 50A to 100A. Even with large output capacitances it is very difficult to get those values of surge current in normal operation. Only with high value output capacitors, such as 1000μF to 5000μF and with the input pin instantaneously shorted to ground, can damage occur. A crowbar circuit at the input of the LT1083 can generate those kinds of currents and a diode from output-to-input is then recommended. Normal power supply cycling or even plugging and unplugging in the system will not generate currents large enough to do any damage. D1 1N4002 (OPTIONAL) VIN IN LT1083 ADJ OUT VOUT + COUT 150μF 1083/4/5 AI01 Overload Recovery Like any of the IC power regulators, the LT1083 has safe area protection. The safe area protection decreases the 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 LT1083 protection is designed to provide some output current at all values of input-to-output voltage up to the device breakdown. When power is first turned on, as the input voltage rises, the output follows the input, allowing the regulator to start 8 U up into very heavy loads. During the start-up, as the input voltage is rising, the input-to-output voltage differential remains small allowing the regulator to supply large output currents. With high input voltage a problem can occur wherein removal of an output short will not allow the output voltage to recover. Older regulators such as the 7800 series, also exhibited this phenomenon so it is not unique to the LT1083. The problem occurs with a heavy output load when the input voltage is high and the output voltage is low, such as immediately after a removal of a short. 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 power supply may need to be cycled down to zero and brought up again to make the output recover. Ripple Rejection In applications that require improved ripple rejection the LT1083 series adjustable regulators should be used. With LT1083 series adjustable regulators the addition of a bypass capacitor from the adjust pin to ground will reduce output ripple by the ratio of VOUT/1.25V. See LT1083 series adjustable regulator data sheet. Load Regulation Because the LT1083 is a three-terminal device, it is not possible to provide true remote load sensing. Load regulation will not be limited by the resistance of the wire connecting the regulator to the load. The data sheet specification for the load regulation is measured at the bottom of the package. Negative side sensing is a true Kelvin connection, with the ground pin of the device returned to the negative side of the load. Thermal Considerations The LT1083 series of regulators have internal power and thermal limiting circuitry designed to protect the device under overload conditions. For continuous normal load conditions however, maximum junction temperature ratings must not be exceeded. It is important to give careful consideration to all sources of thermal resistance from junction to ambient. This includes junction-to-case, 1083ffd W UU LT1083/LT1084/LT1085 Fixed APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO case- to-heat sink interface, and heat sink resistance itself. New thermal resistance specifications have been developed to more accurately reflect device temperature and ensure safe operating temperatures. The data section for these new regulators provides a separate thermal resistance and maximum junction temperature for both the Control Section and the Power Section. Previous regulators, with a single junction-to-case thermal resistance specification, used an average of the two values provided here and therefore could allow excessive junction temperatures under certain conditions of ambient temperature and heat sink resistance. To avoid this possibility, calculations should be made for both sections to ensure that both thermal limits are met. Junction-to-case thermal resistance is specified from the IC junction to the bottom of the case directly below the die. This is the lowest resistance path for heat flow. Proper mounting is required to ensure the best possible thermal flow from this area of the package to the heat sink. Thermal compound at the case-to-heat sink interface is strongly recommended. If the case of the device must be electronically isolated, a thermally conductive spacer can be used as long as its added contribution to thermal resistance is considered. Note that the case of all devices in this series is electronically connected to the ouput. TYPICAL APPLICATIO S High Efficiency Regulator 1mH IN 10,000μF 10k MR1122 28V LT1083-5 OUT GND 470Ω 1N914 OUTPUT 28V INPUT + 1k 1M 4N28 + LT1011 10k – 1N914 10k 28V U For example, using a LT1083-5CP (TO-3P, Commercial) and assuming: VIN(max continuous) = 9V, VOUT = 5V, IOUT = 6A, TA = 75°C, θHEAT SINK = 1°C/W, θCASE-TO-HEAT SINK = 0.2°C/W for P package with thermal compound. Power dissipation under these conditions is equal to: PD = (VIN – VOUT) (IOUT) = 24W Junction temperature will be equal to: TJ = TA + PD (θHEAT SINK + θCASE-TO-HEAT SINK + θJC) For the Control Section: TJ = 75°C + 24W (1°C/W + 0.2°C/W + 0.5°C/W) = 118°C 118°C < 125°C = TJMAX (Control Section Commercial Range) For the Power Transistor: TJ = 75°C + 24W (1°C/W + 0.2°C/W + 1.6°C/W) = 142°C 142°C < 150°C = TJMAX (Power Transistor Commercial Range) In both cases the junction temperature is below the maximum rating for the respective sections, ensuring reliable operation.
