DESCRIPTIO
Wide Input Voltage Range: 4V to 80V Low Quiescent Current: 65µA Low Dropout Voltage: 400mV Output Current: 250mA No Protection Diodes Needed Adjustable Output from 1.24V to 60V Stable with 3.3µF Output Capacitor Stable with Aluminum, Tantalum or Ceramic Capacitors Reverse-Battery Protection No Reverse Current Flow from Output to Input Thermal Limiting Thermally Enhanced 16-Lead TSSOP and 12 Pin (4mm × 3mm) DFN Package
The LT®3013B 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. Designed for use in battery-powered or high voltage systems, the low quiescent current (65µA operating) makes the LT3013B an ideal choice. Quiescent current is also well controlled in dropout. Other features of the LT3013B include a PWRGD flag to indicate output regulation. The delay between regulated output level and flag indication is programmable with a single capacitor. The LT3013B also has the ability to operate with very small output capacitors. The regulator is 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 regulators. 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 LT3013B regulator is available in the thermally enhanced 16-lead TSSOP and the low profile (0.75mm), 12 pin (4mm × 3mm) DFN package, both providing excellent thermal characteristics.

Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device reliability and lifetime. Note 2: The LT3013B is tested and specified for these conditions with the ADJ pin connected to the OUT pin. Note 3: Operating conditions are limited by maximum junction temperature. The regulated output voltage specification will not apply for all possible combinations of input voltage and output current. When operating at maximum input voltage, the output current range must be limited. When operating at maximum output current, the input voltage range must be limited. Note 4: To satisfy requirements for minimum input voltage, the LT3013B is tested and specified for these conditions with an external resistor divider (249k bottom, 549k top) for an output voltage of 4V. The external resistor divider will add a 5µA DC load on the output. Note 5: Dropout voltage is the minimum input to output voltage differential needed to maintain regulation at a specified output current. In dropout, the output voltage will be equal to (VIN – VDROPOUT).
Note 6: GND pin current is tested with VIN = 4.5V and a current source load. This means the device is tested while operating close to its dropout region. This is the worst-case GND pin current. The GND pin current will decrease slightly at higher input voltages. Note 7: ADJ pin bias current flows into the ADJ pin. Note 8: Reverse output current is tested with the IN pin grounded and the OUT pin forced to the rated output voltage. This current flows into the OUT pin and out the GND pin. Note 9: The LT3013BE is guaranteed to meet performance specifications from 0°C to 125°C operating junction temperature. Specifications over the –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation with statistical process controls. Note 10: This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active. Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction temperature may impair device reliability.

OUT (Pins 2, 3)/(Pins 3, 4): Output. The output supplies power to the load. A minimum output capacitor of 3.3µF is required to prevent oscillations. Larger output capacitors will be required for applications with large transient loads to limit peak voltage transients. See the Applications Information section for more information on output capacitance and reverse output characteristics. ADJ (Pin 4)/(Pin 5): Adjust. This is the input to the error amplifier. This pin is internally clamped to ±7V. It has a bias current of 30nA which flows into the pin (see curve of ADJ Pin Bias Current vs Temperature in the Typical Performance Characteristics). The ADJ pin voltage is 1.24V referenced to ground, and the output voltage range is 1.24V to 60V. GND (Pins 5, 13)/(Pins 1, 6, 8, 9, 16, 17): Ground. The exposed backside of the package is an electrical connection for GND. As such, to ensure optimum device operation and thermal performance, the exposed pad must be connected directly to pin 5/pin 6 on the PC board. PWRGD (Pin 6)/(Pin 7): Power Good. The PWRGD flag is an open collector flag to indicate that the output voltage has come up to above 90% of the nominal output voltage. There is no internal pull-up on this pin; a pull-up resistor must be used. The PWRGD pin will change state from an open-collector to high impedance after both the output is above 90% of the nominal voltage and the capacitor on the CT pin has charged through a 1V differential. The maximum pull-down current of the PWRGD pin in the low state is 50µA.

CT (Pin 7)/(Pin 10): Timing Capacitor. The CT pin allows the use of a small capacitor to delay the timing between the point where the output crosses the PWRGD threshold and the PWRGD flag changes to a high impedance state. Current out of this pin during the charging phase is 3µA. The voltage difference between the PWRGD low and PWRGD high states is 1.6V (see the Applications Information Section). IN (Pins 10, 11)/(Pins 13,14): Input. Power is supplied to the device through the IN pin. A bypass capacitor is required on this pin if the device is more than six inches away 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 batterypowered circuits. A bypass capacitor in the range of 1µF to 10µF is sufficient. The LT3013B is designed to withstand reverse voltages on the IN pin with respect to ground and the OUT pin. In the case of a reversed input, which can happen if a battery is plugged in backwards, the LT3013B will act as if there is a diode in series with its input. There will be no reverse current flow into the LT3013B and no reverse voltage will appear at the load. The device will protect both itself and the load. NC (Pins 1, 8, 9, 12)/(Pins 2, 11, 12, 15): No Connect. No Connect pins may be floated, tied to IN or tied to GND.

LT3013B
APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
The LT3013B is a 250mA high voltage low dropout regulator with micropower quiescent current. The device is capable of supplying 250mA at a dropout voltage of 400mV. Operating quiescent current is only 65µA. In addition to the low quiescent current, the LT3013B incorporates several protection features which make it ideal for use in battery-powered systems. The device is protected against both reverse input and reverse output voltages. In battery backup applications where the output can be held up by a backup battery when the input is pulled to ground, the LT3013B acts like it has a diode in series with its output and prevents reverse current flow. Adjustable Operation The LT3013B has an output voltage range of 1.24V to 60V. The output voltage is set by the ratio of two external resistors as shown in Figure 1. The device servos the output to maintain the voltage at the adjust pin at 1.24V referenced to ground. The current in R1 is then equal to 1.24V/R1 and the current in R2 is the current in R1 plus the ADJ pin bias current. The ADJ pin bias current, 30nA at 25°C, flows through R2 into the ADJ pin. The output voltage can be calculated using the formula in Figure 1. The value of R1 should be less than 250k to minimize errors in the output voltage caused by the ADJ pin bias current. The adjustable device is tested and specified with the ADJ pin tied to the OUT pin and a 5µA DC load (unless otherwise specified) for an output voltage of 1.24V. Specifications

for output voltages greater than 1.24V will be proportional to the ratio of the desired output voltage to 1.24V; (VOUT/ 1.24V). For example, load regulation for an output current change of 1mA to 250mA is –7mV typical at VOUT = 1.24V. At VOUT = 12V, load regulation is: (12V/1.24V) • (–7mV) = –68mV Output Capacitance and Transient Response The LT3013B is designed to be stable with a wide range of output capacitors. The ESR of the output capacitor affects stability, most notably with small capacitors. A minimum output capacitor of 3.3µF with an ESR of 3Ω or less is recommended to prevent oscillations. The LT3013B is a micropower device and output transient response will be 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 LT3013B, will increase the effective output capacitor value. Extra consideration must be given to the use of ceramic capacitors. Ceramic capacitors are manufactured with a variety of dielectrics, each with different behavior across temperature and applied voltage. The most common dielectrics used are specified with EIA temperature characteristic codes of Z5U, Y5V, X5R and X7R. The Z5U and Y5V dielectrics are good for providing high capacitances in a small package, but they tend to have strong voltage and

When used with a 5V regulator, a 16V 10µF Y5V capacitor can exhibit an effective value as low as 1µF to 2µF for the DC bias voltage applied and over the operating temperature range. The X5R and X7R dielectrics result in more stable characteristics and are more suitable for use as the output capacitor. The X7R type has better stability across temperature, 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. Voltage and temperature coefficients are not the only sources of problems. Some ceramic capacitors have a piezoelectric response. A piezoelectric device generates 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. PWRGD Flag and Timing Capacitor Delay The PWRGD flag is used to indicate that the ADJ pin voltage is within 10% of the regulated voltage. The PWRGD pin is an open-collector output, capable of sinking 50µA of current when the ADJ pin voltage is low. There is no internal pull-up on the PWRGD pin; an external pull-up resistor must be used. When the ADJ pin rises to within 10% of its final reference value, a delay timer is started. At the end of this delay, programmed by the value of the capacitor on the CT pin, the PWRGD pin switches to a high impedance and is pulled up to a logic level by an external pull-up resistor. To calculate the capacitor value on the CT pin, use the following formula:
C TIME = ICT • tDELAY VCT (HIGH) – VCT (LOW)

Figure 4 shows a block diagram of the PWRGD circuit. At startup, the timing capacitor is discharged and the PWRGD pin will be held low. As the output voltage increases and the ADJ pin crosses the 90% threshold, the JK flip-flop is reset, and the 3µA current source begins to charge the
