Note 6: To satisfy minimum input voltage requirements, the LT1965 is tested and specified for these conditions with an external resistor divider (bottom 4.02k, top 4.32k) for an output voltage of 2.5V. The external resistor divider adds 300A of output DC load 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) + 1V and a current source load. GND pin current increases slightly in dropout. See GND pin current curves in the Typical Performance Characteristics section. 1965f 3 LT1965 ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS Note 9: ADJ pin bias current flows into the ADJ pin. Note 10: SHDN pin current flows into the SHDN pin. Note 11: 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 of the GND pin. Note 12: For the LT1965, the minimum input voltage specification limits the dropout voltage under some output voltage/load conditions. Note 13: This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction temperature will exceed 125C when overtemperature is active. Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction temperature may impair device reliability.

This pin supplies power to the load. Use a minimum output capacitor of 10F 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 output capacitance and reverse output characteristics. ADJ (Pins 3 / 3 / 5 / 5): Adjust. This pin is the input to the error amplifier. It has a typical bias current of 1.3A that flows into the pin. The ADJ pin voltage is 1.20V referenced to ground. GND (Pins 4, 5 / 4, 5 / 3 / 3): Ground. For the adjustable LT1965, connect the bottom of the resistor divider, setting output voltage, directly to GND for optimum regulation. SHDN (Pin 6 / 6 / 1 / 1): Shutdown. Pulling the SHDN pin low puts the LT1965 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, H D N pin current, normally several microamperes and the S typically less than 6A. If unused, connect the SHDN pin to VIN. The LT1965 will be in its low power shutdown state if the SHDN pin is not connected. The SHDN pin cannot be driven below GND unless it is 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 supply rail. IN (Pins 7, 8 / 7, 8 / 2 / 2): Input. This pin supplies power to the device. The LT1965 requires a bypass capacitor at IN if located more than six inches from the main input filter capacitor. Include a bypass capacitor in battery-powered circuits as a battery's output impedance generally rises with frequency. A bypass capacitor in the range of 1F to 10F suffices. The LT1965's design withstands reverse voltages on the IN pin with respect to ground and the OUT pin. In the case of a reversed input, which occurs if a battery is plugged in backwards, the LT1965 behaves as if a diode is in series with its input. No reverse current flows into the LT1965 and no reverse voltage appears at the load. The device protects itself and the load. Exposed Pad (Pin 9 / 9, DFN and MSOP Packages Only): Ground. Tie this pin directly to Pins 4 and 5 and the PCB ground. This pin provides enhanced thermal performance with its connection to the PCB ground. See the Applications Information section for thermal considerations and calculating junction temperature. 1965f 7 LT1965 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION The LT1965 is a 1.1A low dropout regulator with shutdown. The device is capable of supplying 1.1A at a typical dropout voltage of 290mV. The low operating quiescent current (500A) drops to less than 1A in shutdown. In addition to its low quiescent current, the LT1965 regulator incorporates several protection features that make it ideal for use in battery-powered systems. The device protects itself against both reverse input and reverse output voltages. In battery backup applications, if a backup battery holds up the output when the input is pulled to ground, the LT1965 performs like it has a diode in series with its output, preventing reverse current flow. Also, in dual supply applications where the regulator load is returned to a negative supply, the output can be pulled below ground by as much as 20V. The LT1965 still starts and operates normally in this situation. Adjustable Operation The LT1965 has an output voltage range of 1.20V to 20V. Figure 1 illustrates that the ratio of two external resistors sets the output voltage. The device servos the output to maintain the ADJ pin voltage at 1.20V referenced to ground. R1's current equals 1.20V/R1. R2's current equals R1's current plus the ADJ pin bias current. The ADJ pin bias current, 1.3A at 25C, flows through R2 into the ADJ pin. Use the formula in Figure 1 to calculate output voltage. Linear Technology recommends that R1's value be less than 12.1k to minimize output voltage errors due to the ADJ pin bias current. In shutdown, the output turns off and the divider current is zero. For curves depicting ADJ Pin Voltage vs Temperature and ADJ Pin Bias Current vs Temperature, see the Typical Performance Characteristics section. IN VIN OUT R2 LT1965 ADJ R2 VOUT = 1.20 V 1 + + IADJ * R2 R1 VADJ = 1.20 V IADJ = 1.3A AT 25 C R1 GND + VOUT OUTPUT RANGE = 1.20 V TO 19.5V 1965 F01 Figure 1. Adjustable Operation The adjustable device is tested and specified with the ADJ pin tied to the OUT pin for an output voltage of 1.20V. Specifications for output voltages greater than 1.20V are proportional to the ratio of the desired output voltage to 1.20V: VOUT/1.20V. For example, load regulation for an output current change of 1mA to 1.1A is typically -4.25mV at VOUT = 1.20V. At VOUT = 5V, load regulation is: 5V * - 4 . 25mV = - 17 . 71mV 1 . 20 V Output Capacitance The LT1965's design is 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 10F with an ESR of 3 or less is recommended to prevent oscillations. The LT1965 is a low quiescent current 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 current changes. Ceramic capacitors require extra consideration. Manufacturers make ceramic capacitors 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 provide high C-V products in a small package at low cost, but exhibit strong voltage and temperature coefficients as shown in Figures 2 and 3. 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 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 whereas 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 1965f 8 LT1965 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION capacitor values below appropriate levels. Capacitor DC bias characteristics tend to improve as component case size increases, but expected capacitance at operating voltages 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. The resulting voltages produced can cause appreciable amounts of noise. A ceramic capacitor produced the trace in Figure 4 in response to light tapping from a pencil. Similar vibration induced behavior can masquerade as increased output voltage noise. 20 Overload Recovery Like many IC power regulators, the LT1965 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.

Noise Resulting from Tapping on a Ceramic Capacitor 1965f 9 LT1965 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Other regulators, such as the LT1083/LT1084/LT1085 family, also exhibit this phenomenon, so it is not unique to the LT1965. 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. Output Voltage Noise The LT1965 regulator's design provides low output voltage noise over the 10Hz to 100kHz bandwidth while operating z at full load. Output voltage noise is approximately 80nV/H over this frequency bandwidth for the LT1965. For higher output voltages (generated by using a resistor divider), the output voltage noise gains up accordingly. 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 LT1965's output. Power supply ripple rejection must also be considered; the LT1965 regulator does not have unlimited power supply rejection and will pass a small portion of the input noise through to the output. Thermal Considerations The LT1965's maximum rated junction temperature of 125C limits its power handling capability. 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. The LT1965 regulator has internal thermal limiting that protects the device during overload conditions. For continuous normal conditions, do not exceed the maximum junction temperature rating of 125C. Carefully consider all sources of thermal resistance from junction to ambient including other heat sources mounted in proximity to the LT1965. The underside of the LT1965 DFN package has exposed metal (4mm2) from the lead frame to the die attachment. The underside of the LT1965 MSOP package also has exposed metal (2mm2). Both packages allow 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 LT1965 also assist in spreading heat to the PCB. 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. 1965f 10 LT1965 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION The following tables list thermal resistance for several different board sizes and copper areas.

The power dissipated by the device equals: IOUT(MAX) * (VIN(MAX) - VOUT) + IGND * VIN(MAX) where: IOUT(MAX) = 500mA VIN(MAX) = 3.465V Table 2.

So the junction temperature rise above ambient approximately equals: 0.511W * 65C/W = 33.22C Table 3.

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, reverse output voltages and reverse output-to-input voltages. Current limit protection and thermal overload protection protect the device against current overload conditions at its output. For normal operation, do not exceed the maximum rated junction temperature of 125C. The input of the device withstands reverse voltages of 22V. The LT1965 limits current flow to less than 1mA (typically less than 200A) and no negative voltage appears at the output. The device protects both itself and the load against batteries that are plugged in backwards. The LT1965 incurs no damage if its output is pulled below ground. If the input is left open circuit or grounded, the output can be pulled below ground by 22V. For the adjustable version, the output acts like an open circuit and no current flows from the output. However, current flows in (but is limited by) the resistor divider that sets the output voltage. If the input is powered by a voltage source, the output sources current equal to its current limit capability and the LT1965 protects itself by thermal limiting. In this case, grounding the SHDN pin turns off the device and stops the output from sourcing current. REVERSE OUTPUT CURRENT (mA) 6 The LT1965 incurs no damage if the ADJ pin is pulled above or below ground by 9V. If the input is left open circuit or grounded, the ADJ pin performs like an open circuit when pulled below ground and like a large resistor (typically 5k up to 3V on the ADJ pin and then 1.5k up to 9V) in series with a diode when pulled above ground. In situations where the ADJ pin connects to a resistor divider that would pull the ADJ pin above its 9V clamp voltage if the output is pulled high, the ADJ pin input current must be limited to less than 5mA. For example, a resistor divider is used to provide a regulated 1.5V output from the 1.20V reference when the output is forced to 20V. The top resistor of the resistor divider must be chosen to limit the current into the ADJ pin to less than 5mA when the ADJ pin is at 9V. The 11V difference between the OUT and ADJ pins divided by the 5mA maximum current into the ADJ pin yields a minimum top resistor value of 2.2k. In circuits where a backup battery is required, several different input/output conditions can occur. The output voltage may be held up while the input is either pulled to ground, pulled to some intermediate voltage, or is left open circuit. Current flow back into the output follows the curve shown in Figure 5. If the LT1965's IN pin is forced below the OUT pin or the OUT pin is pulled above the IN pin, input current typically drops to less than 2A. This occurs if the LT1965 input is connected to a discharged (low voltage) battery and either a backup battery or a second regulator holds up the output. The state of the SHDN pin has no effect on the reverse output current if the output is pulled above the input.
