DESCRIPTION
Micropower Low Dropout
Regulators with Shutdown
The LT
®
1121/LT1121-3.3/LT1121-5 are micropower low
dropout regulators with shutdown. These devices are ca-
pable of supplying
150mA of output current with a dropout
voltage of 0.4V. Designed for use in battery-powered sys-
tems, the low quiescent current, 30µA operating and 16µA
in shutdown, makes them an ideal choice. The quiescent
current is well-controlled;
it does not rise in dropout as it
does with many other low dropout PNP regulators.
Other features of the LT1121/LT1121-3.3/LT1121-5 include
the ability to operate with very small output capacitors.
They are stable with only 0.33µF on the output while most
older devices require betweenF and 100µF for stability.
Small ceramic capacitors can be used, enhancing manu-
facturability. Also the input may
be connected to ground
or a reverse voltage without reverse current flow from
output to input. This makes the LT1121 series ideal for
backup power situations where the output is held high and
the input is at ground or reversed. Under these conditions
only 16µA will flow from the output pin to ground.
