TYPICAL APPLICATION
DESCRIPTION
Adjustable 3A
Single Resistor Low
Dropout Regulator
The LT
®
3083 is a 3A low dropout linear regulator that can
be paralleled to increase output current or spread heat on
surface mounted boards. Architected as a precision current
source and voltage follower, this new regulator finds use
in many applications requiring high current, adjustability
to zero, and no heat sink. The device also brings out the
collector of the pass transistor to allow low dropout opera-
tion—down to 310mV—when used with multiple supplies.
A key feature of the LT3083 is the capability to supply a
wide output voltage range. By using a reference current
through a single resistor, the output voltage is programmed
to any level between zero and 23V (DD-PAK and TO-220
packages). The LT3083 is stable with 10µF of capacitance
on the output, and the IC is stable with small ceramic ca-
pacitors that do not require additional ESR as is common
with other regulators.
Internal protection circuitry includes current limiting and
thermal limiting. The LT3083 is offered in the 16-lead
TSSOP (with an exposed pad for better thermal character-
istics), 12-lead 4mm × 4mm DFN (also with an exposed
pad), 5-lead TO-220, and 5-lead surface mount DD-PAK
packages.
