Exposure to any Absolute load. This means the device is tested while operating close to its dropout Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device region. This is the worst-case GND pin current. The GND pin current will reliability and lifetime. decrease slightly at higher input voltages. Note 2: The LT3012 is tested and specifi ed for these conditions with the Note 7: ADJ pin bias current fl ows into the ADJ pin. ADJ pin connected to the OUT pin. Note 8: SHDN pin current fl ows out of the SHDN pin. Note 3: Operating conditions are limited by maximum junction Note 9: Reverse output current is tested with the IN pin grounded and the temperature. The regulated output voltage specifi cation will not apply OUT pin forced to the rated output voltage. This current fl ows into the OUT for all possible combinations of input voltage and output current.

In dropout, the Note 11: This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended output voltage will be equal to (VIN – VDROPOUT). to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction temperature will exceed 125°C (LT3012E) or 140°C (LT3012H) when overtemperature protection is active. Continuous operation above the specifi ed maximum operating junction temperature may impair device reliability. 3012fd 4
