The LT
®
3024 is a dual, micropower, low noise, low drop-
out regulator. With an external 0.01µF bypass capacitor,
output noise drops to 20µV
RMS
over a 10Hz to 100kHz
bandwidth. Designed for use in battery-powered systems,
the low 30µA quiescent current per output makes it an
ideal choice. In shutdown, quiescent current drops to less
than 0.1µA. Shutdown control is independent for each
output, allowing for flexibility in power management. The
device is capable of operating over an input voltage range
of 1.8V to 20V. The device can supply 100mA of output
current from Output 2 with a dropout voltage of 300mV.
Output 1 can supply 500mA of output current with a
dropout voltage of 300mV. Quiescent current is well
controlled in dropout.
The LT3024 regulator is stable with output capacitors as
low as 1µF for the 100mA output and 3.3µF for the 500mA
output. 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
current protection. The device is available as an adjustable
device with a 1.22V reference voltage. The LT3024 regu-
lator is available in the thermally enhanced 16-lead TSSOP
and 12-lead, low profile (4mm × 3mm × 0.75mm) DFN
packages.
