TYPICAL APPLICATION
FEATURES DESCRIPTION
800mA Low Dropout
Positive Regulators Adjustable
and Fixed 2.85V, 3.3V, 5V
The LT
®
1117 is a positive low dropout regulator designed
to provide up to 800mA of output current. The device is
available in an adjustable version and fixed output voltages
of 2.85V, 3.3V and 5V. The 2.85V version is designed
specifically to be used in Active Terminators for the SCSI
bus. All internal circuitry is designed to operate down to 1V
input to output differential. Dropout voltage is guaranteed
at a maximum of 1.2V at 800mA, decreasing at lower load
currents. On chip trimming adjusts the reference/output
voltage to within ±1%. Current limit is also trimmed in
order to minimize the stress on both the regulator and the
power source circuitry under overload conditions.
The low profi le surface mount SOT-223 package allows the
device to be used in applications where space is limited. The
LT1117 requires a minimum of 10µF of output capacitance
for stability. Output capacitors of this size or larger are
normally included in most regulator designs.
Unlike PNP type regulators where up to 10% of the output
current is wasted as quiescent current, the quiescent current
of the LT1117 fl ows into the load, increasing effi ciency.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The LT1117 family of 3-terminal regulators are easy to
use. They are protected against short circuit and thermal
overloads. Thermal protection circuitry will shut down the
regulator should the junction temperature exceed 165°C
at the sense point. These regulators are pin compatible
with older 3-terminal adjustable regulators, offer lower
dropout voltage and more precise reference tolerance.
Reference stability over temperature is improved over
older types of regulators.
Stability
The LT1117 family of regulators requires an output
capacitor as part of the device frequency compensation.
A minimum of 10µF of tantalum or 50µF of aluminum
electrolytic is required. The ESR of the output capacitor
should be less than 0.5Ω. Surface mount tantalum
capacitors, which have very low ESR, are available from
several manufacturers.
When using the LT1117 adjustable device, the adjust
terminal can be bypassed to improve ripple rejection.
When the adjust terminal is bypassed, the required value
of the output capacitor increases. The device will require
an output capacitor of 22µF tantalum or 150µF aluminum
electrolytic when the adjust pin is bypassed.
Normally, capacitor values on the order of 100µF are
used in the output of many regulators to ensure good
load transient response with large load current changes.
Output capacitance can be increased without limit and
larger values of output capacitance further improve stability
and transient response.
Protection Diodes
In normal operation, the LT1117 family does not need any
protection diodes. Older adjustable regulators required
protection diodes between the adjust pin and the output
and between the output and input to prevent over stressing
the die. The internal current paths on the LT1117 adjust
pin are limited by internal resistors. Therefore, even with
capacitors on the adjust pin, no protection diode is needed
to ensure device safety under short-circuit conditions.
The adjust pin can be driven, on a transient basis, ± 25V with
respect to the output without any device degradation.
Diodes between input and output are not usually needed.
The internal diode between the output and input pins of
the device can withstand microsecond surge currents of
10A to 20A. Normal power supply cycling can not generate
currents of this magnitude. Only with extremely large output
capacitors, such as 1000µF and larger, and with the input
pin instantaneously shorted to ground can damage occur.
A crowbar circuit at the input of the LT1117 in combination
with a large output capacitor could generate currents large
enough to cause damage. In this case a diode from output
to input is recommended, as shown in Figure 1.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Output Voltage
The LT1117 develops a 1.25V reference voltage between the
output and the adjust terminal (see Figure 2). By placing a
resistor between these two terminals, a constant current
is caused to flow through R1 and down through R2 to
set the overall output voltage. Normally this current is
chosen to be the specified minimum load current of 10mA.
Because IADJ is very small and constant when compared
to the current through R1, it represents a small error and
can usually be ignored. For fixed voltage devices R1 and
R2 are included in the device.

Figure 2. Basic Adjustable Regulator
Load Regulation
Because the LT1117 is a 3-terminal device, it is not possible
to provide true remote load sensing. Load regulation will be
limited by the resistance of the wire connecting the regulator
to the load. The data sheet specification for load regulation
is measured at the output pin of the device. Negative side
sensing is a true Kelvin connection, with the bottom of the
output divider returned to the negative side of the load.
Although it may not be immediately obvious, best load
regulation is obtained when the top of the resistor divider
(R1) is returned directly to the output pin of the device,
not to the load. This is illustrated in Figure 3. Connected
as shown, RP is not multiplied by the divider ratio. If R1
were connected to the load, the effective resistance between
the regulator and the load would be:

For fixed voltage devices the top of R1 is internally Kelvin

side sensing.
Thermal Considerations
LT1117 series regulators have internal thermal limiting
circuitry designed to protect the device during overload
conditions. For continuous normal load conditions however,
the maximum junction temperature rating of 125°C must
not be exceeded.
It is important to give careful consideration to all sources
of thermal resistance from junction to ambient. For
the SOT-223 package, which is designed to be surface
mounted, additional heat sources mounted near the device
must also be considered. Heat sinking is accomplished
using the heat spreading capability of the PC board and
its copper traces. The thermal resistance of the LT1117 is
15°C/W from the junction to the tab. Thermal resistances
from tab to ambient can be as low as 30°C/W. The total
thermal resistance from junction to ambient can be as low
as 45°C/W. This requires a reasonable sized PC board with
at least one layer of copper to spread the heat across the
board and couple it into the surrounding air.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Experiments have shown that the heat spreading copper
layer does not need to be electrically connected to the
tab of the device. The PC material can be very effective at
transmitting heat between the pad area, attached to the
tab of the device, and a ground plane layer either inside
or on the opposite side of the board. Although the actual
thermal resistance of the PC material is high, the Length/
Area ratio of the thermal resistor between layers is small.
The data in Table 1 was taken using 1/16" FR-4 board with
1oz. copper foil. It can be used as a rough guideline in
estimating thermal resistance.

The thermal resistance for each application will be
affected by thermal interactions with other components
on the board. Some experimentation will be necessary to
determine the actual value.
The power dissipation of the LT1117 is equal to:
P
D = ( VIN – VOUT )( IOUT )
Maximum junction temperature will be equal to:
T
J = TA(MAX) + PD (Thermal Resistance (junction-to-
ambient))
Maximum junction temperature must not exceed 125°C.
Ripple Rejection
The curves for Ripple Rejection were generated using
an adjustable device with the adjust pin bypassed. These
curves will hold true for all values of output voltage. For
proper bypassing, and ripple rejection approaching the
values shown, the impedance of the adjust pin capacitor,
at the ripple frequency, should be < R1. R1 is normally in
the range of 100Ω to 200Ω. The size of the required adjust
pin capacitor is a function of the input ripple frequency. At
120Hz, with R1 = 100Ω, the adjust pin capacitor should
be >13µF. At 10kHz only 0.16µF is needed.
For fixed voltage devices, and adjustable devices without
an adjust pin capacitor, the output ripple will increase as
the ratio of the output voltage to the reference voltage
(VOUT/VREF). For example, with the output voltage equal
to 5V, the output ripple will be increased by the ratio of
5V/1.25V. It will increase by a factor of four. Ripple
rejection will be degraded by 12dB from the value shown
on the curve.
