APPLICATIO S
■
■
The LT
®
1764 is a low dropout regulator optimized for fast
transient response. The device is capable of supplying 3A
of output current with a dropout voltage of 340mV. Oper-
ating quiescent current is 1mA, dropping to < 1µA in
shutdown. Quiescent current is well controlled; it does not
rise in dropout as it does with many other regulators. In
addition to fast transient response, the LT1764 has very
low output voltage noise which makes the device ideal for
sensitive RF supply applications.
Output voltage range is from 1.21V to 20V. The LT1764
regulators are stable with output capacitors as low as 10µF.
Internal protection circuitry includes reverse battery pro-
tection, current limiting, thermal limiting and reverse cur-
rent protection. The device is available in fixed output
voltages of 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V and as an adjustable
device with a 1.21V reference voltage. The LT1764 regu-
lators are available in 5-lead TO-220, DD and Exposed Pad
16-lead TSSOP packages.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
The LT1764 regulators are tested and specified under pulse load
conditions such that T
J
≈
T
A
. The LT1764 is 100% tested at T
A
= 25°C.
Performance at – 40°C and 125°C is assured by design, characterization
and correlation with statistical process controls.
Note 3:
The LT1764 (adjustable version) is tested and specified for these
conditions with the ADJ pin connected to the OUT pin.
Note 4.
Operating conditions are limited by maximum junction
temperature. The regulated output voltage specification will not apply for
all possible combinations of input voltage and output current. When
operating at maximum input voltage, the output current range must be
limited. When operating at maximum output current, the input voltage
range must be limited.
Note 5:
To satisfy requirements for minimum input voltage, the LT1764
(adjustable version) is tested and specified for these conditions with an
external resistor divider (two 4.12k resistors) for an output voltage of 2.42V.
The external resistor divider will add a 300µA DC load on the output.
Note 6:
Dropout voltage is the minimum input to output voltage differential
needed to maintain regulation at a specified output current. In dropout, the
output voltage will be equal to: V
IN
– V
DROPOUT
.
Note 7:
GND pin current is tested with V
IN
= V
OUT(NOMINAL)
+ 1V or
V
IN
= 2.7V (whichever is greater) and a current source load. The GND pin
current will decrease at higher input voltages.
Note 8:
ADJ pin bias current flows into the ADJ pin.
Note 9:
SHDN pin current flows into the SHDN pin.
Note 10:
Reverse output current is tested with the IN pin grounded and the
OUT pin forced to the rated output voltage. This current flows into the OUT
pin and out the GND pin.
Note 11.
For the LT1764, LT1764-1.5 and LT1764-1.8 dropout voltage will
be limited by the minimum input voltage specification under some output
voltage/load conditions.
Note 12.
All combinations of absolute maximum input voltage and
absolute maximum output voltage cannot be achieved. The absolute
maximum differential from input to output is
±20V.
For example, with
V
IN
= 20V, V
OUT
cannot be pulled below ground.
