DESCRIPTION
The LTC
®
3025 is a micropower, VLDO
TM
(very low drop-
out) linear regulator which operates from input voltages as
low as 0.9V. The device is capable of supplying 300mA of
output current with a typical dropout voltage of only 45mV.
A BIAS supply is required to run the internal reference and
LDO circuitry while output current comes directly from
the IN supply for high efficiency regulation. The low 0.4V
internal reference voltage allows the LTC3025 output to
be programmed to much lower voltages than available in
common LDOs (range of 0.4V to 3.6V). The output voltage
is programmed via two ultrasmall SMD resistors.
The LTC3025’s low quiescent current makes it an ideal
choice for use in battery-powered systems. For 3-cell
NiMH and single cell Li-Ion applications, the BIAS voltage
can be supplied directly from the battery while the input
can come from a high efficiency buck regulator, providing
a high efficiency, low noise output.
Other features include high output voltage accuracy,
excellent transient response, stability with ultralow ESR
ceramic capacitors as small as 1μF short-circuit and
,
thermal overload protection and output current limiting.
The LTC3025 is available in a tiny, low profile (0.75mm)
6-lead DFN (2mm
×
2mm) package.

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:
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.
Note 3:
The LTC3025 regulator is tested and specified under pulse
loadconditions such that T
J
≈ T
A
. The LTC3025 is 100% production
tested at 25°C. Performance at –40°C and 125°C is assured by design,
characterization and correlation with statistical process control. The
LTC3025I is guaranteed to meet performance specifications over the full
–40°C and 125°C temperature range.
Note 4:
For the LTC3025, a regulated output voltage will only be available
when the minimum IN and BIAS Operating Voltages as well as the IN to
OUT and BIAS to OUT Dropout Voltages are all satisfied.
Note 5:
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 6:
Dropout voltage is minimum input to output voltage differential
needed to maintain regulation at a specified output current. In dropout, the
output voltage will be equal to V
IN
– V
DROPOUT
.
Note 7:
The DFN output FET on-resistance in dropout is guaranteed by
correlation to wafer level measurements.
