1.5A Low Input Voltage
VLDO Linear Regulator
The LTC
®
3026 is a very low dropout (VLDO™) linear regula-
tor that can operate at input voltages down to 1.14V. The
device is capable of supplying 1.5A of output current with
a typical dropout voltage of only 100mV. To allow opera-
tion at low input voltages the LTC3026 includes a boost
converter that provides the necessary headroom for the
internal LDO circuitry.
Output current comes directly from the input supply to
maximize efficiency. The boost converter requires only a
small chip inductor and ceramic capacitor for operation.
Additionally, the boosted output voltage of one LTC3026
can supply the boost voltage for other LTC3026s, thus
requiring a single inductor for multiple LDOs. A user sup-
plied boost voltage can be used eliminating the need for
an inductor altogether.
The LTC3026 regulator is stable with 10µF or greater
ceramic output capacitors. The device has a low 0.4V
reference voltage which is used to program the output
voltage via two external resistors. The device also has
internal current limit, overtemperature shutdown, and
reverse output current protection. The LTC3026 is avail-
able in a small 10-lead MSOP or low profile (0.75mm)
10-lead 3mm × 3mm DFN package.
