LTC3035 300mA VLDO Linear Regulator with Charge Pump Bias Generator UFEATURESDESCRIPTIO ■ Wide Input Voltage Range: 1.7V to 5.5V The LTC®3035 is a micropower, VLDO™ (very low drop- ■ Wide Adjustable Output Voltage Range: out) linear regulator which operates from input voltages as 0.4V to 3.6V low as 1.7V. The device is capable of supplying 300mA of ■ Built-In Charge Pump Generates High Side Bias output current with a typical dropout voltage of only ■ Very Low Dropout: 45mV at 300mA 45mV. To allow operation at low input voltages the LTC3035 ■ ± 2% Voltage Accuracy Over Temperature, includes a charge pump generator that provides the nec- Supply, Load essary bias voltage for the internal LDO circuitry. Output ■ Fast Transient Recovery current comes directly from the input supply for high ■ Low Operating Current: IIN = 100µA Typ efficiency regulation. The charge pump bias generator ■ Low Shutdown Current: IIN = 1µA Typ requires only a 0.1µF flying capacitor and a 1µF bypass ■ Stable with Ceramic Capacitor Down to 1µF capacitor for operation. The low 0.4V internal reference ■ Output Current Limit voltage allows the LTC3035 to be programmed to much ■ Thermal Overload Protected lower output voltages than commonly available in LDOs. ■ Reverse Output Current Protected The output voltage is programmed via two tiny SMD ■ Available in 8-Lead (3mm × 2mm) DFN Package resistors. The LTC3035’s low quiescent current makes it U an ideal choice for use in battery-powered systems.
