The LT
®
1962 series are micropower, low noise, low
dropout regulators. The devices are capable of supplying
300mA of output current with a dropout voltage of 270mV.
Designed for use in battery-powered systems, the low
30µA quiescent current makes them an ideal choice.
Quiescent current is well controlled; it does not rise in
dropout as it does with many other regulators.
A key feature of the LT1962 regulators is low output noise.
With the addition of an external 0.01µF bypass capacitor,
output noise drops to 20µV
RMS
over a 10Hz to 100kHz
bandwidth. The LT1962 regulators are stable with output
capacitors as low as 3.3µF. Small ceramic capacitors can
be used without the series resistance required by other
regulators.
Internal protection circuitry includes reverse battery pro-
tection, current limiting, thermal limiting and reverse cur-
rent protection. The parts come in fixed output voltages of
1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3V, 3.3V and 5V, and as an adjustable
device with a 1.22V reference voltage. The LT1962 regu-
lators are available in the 8-lead MSOP package.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
Absolute maximum input to output differential voltage cannot be
achieved with all combinations of rated IN pin and OUT pin voltages. With
the IN pin at 20V, the OUT pin may not be pulled below 0V. The total
measured voltage from in to out can not exceed
±20V.
Note 3:
The LT1962 regulators are tested and specified under pulse load
conditions such that T
J
≈
T
A
. The LT1962 is 100% tested at T
A
= 25°C.
Performance at – 40°C and 125°C is assured by design, characterization
and correlation with statistical process controls.
Note 4:
The LT1962 (adjustable version) is tested and specified for these
conditions with the ADJ pin connected to the OUT pin.

LT1962 Series
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. When operating at maximum output current, the input voltage
range must be limited.
Note 6:
To satisfy requirements for minimum input voltage, the LT1962
(adjustable version) is tested and specified for these conditions with an
external resistor divider (two 250k resistors) for an output voltage of
2.44V. The external resistor divider will add a 5µA DC load on the output.
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 will be equal to: V
IN
– V
DROPOUT
.
Note 8:
GND pin current is tested with V
IN
= V
OUT(NOMINAL)
or V
IN
= 2.3V
(whichever is greater) and a current source load. This means the device is
tested while operating in its dropout region. This is the worst-case GND
pin current. The GND pin current will decrease slightly at higher input
voltages.
Note 9:
ADJ pin bias current flows into the ADJ pin.
Note 10:
SHDN pin current flows into the SHDN pin. This current is
included in the specification for GND pin current.
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 the GND pin.
Note 12:
For the LT1962, LT1962-1.5 and LT1962-1.8 dropout voltage will
be limited by the minimum input voltage specification under some output
voltage/load conditions. See the curve of Minimum Input Voltage in the
Typical Performance Characteristics. For other fixed voltage versions of
the LT1962, the minimum input voltage is limited by the dropout voltage.
