The LT
®
3028 is a dual, micropower, low noise, low drop-
out regulator with independent inputs. With an external
0.01µF bypass capacitor, output noise is a low 20µV
RMS
over a 10Hz to 100kHz bandwidth. Designed for use in
battery-powered systems, the low 30µA quiescent current
per output makes it an ideal choice. In shutdown, quies-
cent current drops to less than 0.1µA. Shutdown control
is independent for each output, allowing for flexibility in
power management. The device is capable of operating
over an input voltage range of 1.8V to 20V. Output 1 can
supply 500mA of output current with a dropout voltage of
320mV. The device can supply 100mA of output current
from Output 2 with a dropout voltage of 300mV. Quiescent
current is well controlled in dropout.
The LT3028 regulator is stable with output capacitors as
low as 1µF for the 100mA output and 3.3µF for the 500mA
output. Small ceramic capacitors can be used without the
series resistance required by other regulators.
Internal protection circuitry includes reverse-battery pro-
tection, current limiting and thermal limiting protection.
The device is available as an adjustable device with a 1.22V
reference voltage. The LT3028 regulator is available in the
thermally enhanced 16-lead TSSOP and 16-lead, low
profile (5mm

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
The LT3028 regulator is tested and specified under pulse load
conditions such that T
J
≈
T
A
. The LT3028E is guaranteed to meet
performance specifications from 0°C to 125°C junction temperature.
Specifications over the – 40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature
range are assured by design, characterization and correlation with
statistical process controls. The LT3028I is guaranteed and tested over the
full – 40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range.
Note 3:
The LT3028 is tested and specified for these conditions with the
ADJ1/ADJ2 pin connected to the corresponding OUT1/OUT2 pin.

LT3028
ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
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 LT3028 is
tested and specified for these conditions with an external resistor divider
(two 250k resistors) for an output voltage of 2.44V. The external resistor
divider will add a 5µA 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
= 2.44V and a current source
load. This means the device is tested while operating in its dropout region
or at the minimum input voltage specification. This is the worst-case GND
pin current. The GND pin current will decrease slightly at higher input
voltages. Total GND pin current is equal to the sum of GND pin currents
from Output 1 and Output 2.
Note 8:
ADJ1 and ADJ2 pin bias current flows into the pin.
Note 9:
SHDN1 and SHDN2 pin current flows into the pin.
Note 10:
For the LT3028 dropout voltage will be limited by the minimum
input voltage specification under some output voltage/load conditions. See
the curve of Minimum Input Voltage in the Typical Performance
Characteristics.
