LT3090 –36V, 600mA Negative Linear Regulator with Programmable Current Limit FeaTuresDescripTion n Output Current: 600mA The LT®3090 is a 600mA, low dropout negative linear n Single Resistor Sets Output Voltage regulator that is easily parallelable to increase output n 50µA SET Pin Current: ±1% Initial Accuracy current or spread heat on surface mounted boards. n Programmable Current Limit Designed with a precision current reference followed by a n Positive or Negative Output Current Monitor high performance rail-to-rail voltage buffer, this regulator n Parallelable for Higher Current and Heat Spreading finds use in applications requiring precision output, high n Low Dropout Voltage: 300mV current with no heat sink, output adjustability to zero and n Low Output Noise: 18µV low dropout voltage. The device can also be configured RMS (10Hz to 100kHz) n Configurable as 3-Terminal Floating Regulator as a 3-terminal floating regulator. n Wide Input Voltage Range: –1.5V to –36V The LT3090 features fast transient response, high PSRR n Rail-to-Rail Output Voltage Range: 0V to –32V and output noise as low as 18µVRMS. The LT3090 generates n Positive/Negative Shutdown Logic or UVLO a wide output voltage range (0V to –32V) while maintain- n Programmable Cable Drop Compensation ing unity gain operation. This yields virtually constant n Load Regulation: 1.2mV (1mA to 600mA) bandwidth, load regulation, PSRR and noise, regardless n Stable with 4.7µF Minimum Output Capacitor of the programmed output voltage. n Stable with Ceramic or Tantalum Capacitors n The LT3090 supplies 600mA at a typical dropout voltage Thermally Enhanced 12-Lead MSOP and 10-Lead of 300mV. Operating quiescent current is nominally 1mA 0.75mm × 3mm × 3mm DFN Packages and drops to << 1µA in shutdown. A single resistor ad- justs the LT3090’s precision programmable current limit. applicaTions The LT3090’s positive or negative current monitor either n Post Regulator for Switching Supplies sources a current (0.5mA/A) or sinks a current (1mA/A) n Low Noise Instrumentation and RF Supplies proportional to output current.
