The LT
®
1521/LT1521-3/LT1521-3.3/LT1521-5 are low
dropout regulators with micropower quiescent current
and shutdown. These devices are capable of supplying
300mA of output current with a dropout voltage of 0.5V.
Designed for use in battery-powered systems, the low
quiescent current, 12µA operating and 6µA 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 LT1521/LT1521-3/LT1521-3.3/
LT1521-5 include the ability to operate with very small
output capacitors. They are stable with only 1.5µF on the
output while most older devices require between 10µF and
100µF for stability. Small ceramic capacitors can be used,
enhancing manufacturability. Also, the input may be con-
nected to voltages lower than the output voltage, including
negative voltages, without reverse current flow from out-
put to input. This makes the LT1521 series ideal for backup
power situations where the output is held high and the
input is low or reversed. Under these conditions only 5µA
will flow from the output pin to ground.
