The LT
®
3010 is a high voltage, micropower low dropout
linear regulator. The device is capable of supplying 50mA
output current with a dropout voltage of 300mV. Designed
for use in battery-powered or high voltage systems, the
low quiescent current (30µA operating and 1µA in shut-
down) makes the LT3010 an ideal choice. Quiescent
current is also well controlled in dropout.
Other features of the LT3010 include the ability to operate
with very small output capacitors. The regulators are
stable with only 1µF on the output while most older
devices require between 10µF and 100µF for stability.
Small ceramic capacitors can be used without the neces-
sary addition of ESR as is common with other regulators.
Internal protection circuitry includes reverse-battery pro-
tection, current limiting, thermal limiting and reverse
current protection.
The device is available in a fixed output voltage of 5V and
as an adjustable device with a 1.275V reference voltage.
The LT3010 regulator is available in the 8-lead MSOP
package with an exposed pad for enhanced thermal han-
dling capability.

(Note 9)
Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
The LT3010 (adjustable version) is tested and specified for these
conditions with the ADJ pin connected to the OUT pin.
Note 3:
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 4:
To satisfy requirements for minimum input voltage, the LT3010
(adjustable version) is tested and specified for these conditions with an
external resistor divider (249k bottom, 392k top) for an output voltage of
3.3V. The external resistor divider will add a 5µA DC load on the output.
Note 5:
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 6:
GND pin current is tested with V
IN
= V
OUT
(nominal) 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 7:
ADJ pin bias current flows into the ADJ pin.
Note 8:
SHDN pin current flows out of the SHDN pin.
Note 9:
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 10:
The LT3010E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 125°C operating junction temperature. Specifications over
the –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by
design, characterization and correlation with statistical process controls.
Note 11:
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.
