The LTC
®
3035 is a micropower, VLDO™ (very low drop-
out) linear regulator which operates from input voltages as
low as 1.7V. The device is capable of supplying 300mA of
output current with a typical dropout voltage of only
45mV. To allow operation at low input voltages the LTC3035
includes a charge pump generator that provides the nec-
essary bias voltage for the internal LDO circuitry. Output
current comes directly from the input supply for high
efficiency regulation. The charge pump bias generator
requires only a 0.1µF flying capacitor and a 1µF bypass
capacitor for operation. The low 0.4V internal reference
voltage allows the LTC3035 to be programmed to much
lower output voltages than commonly available in LDOs.
The output voltage is programmed via two tiny SMD
resistors. The LTC3035’s low quiescent current makes it
an ideal choice for use in battery-powered systems.
Other features include high output voltage accuracy, ex-
cellent transient response, stability with ultralow ESR
ceramic capacitors as small as 1µF, short-circuit and
thermal overload protection, output current limiting and
reverse output current protection. The LTC3035 is avail-
able in a tiny, low profile (3mm

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
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 LTC3035 regulator is tested and specified under pulse load
conditions such that T
J
≈

. The LTC3035 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.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
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.
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

LTC3035
PI FU CTIO S
CP (Pin 1):
Flying Capacitor Positive Terminal.
CM (Pin 2):
Flying Capacitor Negative Terminal.
GND (Pin 3):
Ground. Connect to a ground plane.
IN (Pin 4):
Input Supply Voltage. The output load current
is supplied directly from IN. The IN pin should be locally
bypassed to ground if the LTC3035 is more than a few
inches away from another source of bulk capacitance. In
general, the output impedance of a battery rises with
frequency, so it is usually adviseable to include an input
bypass capacitor when supplying IN from a battery. A
capacitor of 1µF is usually sufficient.
OUT (Pin 5):
Regulated Output Voltage. The OUT pin
supplies power to the load. A minimum ceramic output
capacitor of at least 1µF is required to ensure stability.
Larger output capacitors may be required for applications
with large transient loads to limit peak voltage transients.
See the Applications Information section for more infor-
mation on output capacitance.
ADJ (Pin 6):
Adjust Input Pin. This is the input to the error
amplifier. The ADJ pin reference voltage is 0.4V referenced
to ground. The output voltage range is 0.4V to 3.6V and is
set by connecting ADJ to a resistor divider from OUT to
GND.
SHDN (Pin 7):
Shutdown Input, Active Low. This pin is
used to put the LTC3035 into shutdown. The SHDN pin
current is typically less than 10nA. The SHDN pin cannot
be left floating and must be tied to a valid logic level if
not used.
BIAS (Pin 8):
BIAS Output Voltage Pin. BIAS is the output
of the charge pump and provides the high side supply for
the LTC3035 LDO circuitry. This pin should be locally
bypassed to ground by a 1µF or greater capacitor as close
as possible to the pin. Nothing else should be connected
to this pin.
Exposed Pad (Pin 9):
Ground and Heat Sink. Must be
soldered to PCB ground plane or large pad for optimal
thermal performance.
