DESCRIPTION
The LT
®
1118 family of low dropout regulators has the
unique capability of maintaining output regulation while
sourcing or sinking load current. The 2.85V output voltage
regulator is ideal for use as a Boulay termination of up
to 27 SCSI data lines. The regulator maintains regulation
while both sourcing and sinking current, enabling the use
of active negation drivers for improved noise immunity on
the data lines. Regulation of output voltage is maintained
for TERMPWR voltages as low as 4.0V. When unloaded,
quiescent supply current is a low 600μA, allowing continu-
ous connection to the TERMPWR lines. An ultralow power
shutdown mode is also available on the SO-8 version. In
Shutdown the output is high impedance and supply cur-
rent drops to less than 10μA.
Current limits in both sourcing and sinking modes, plus
on-chip thermal shutdown make the circuit tolerant of
output fault conditions.
The LT1118 is available in 3-lead SOT-223 and 8-lead SO
packages.

PIN FUNCTIONS
IN:
Input Supply Pin. This pin should be decoupled with
a 1μF or larger low ESR capacitor. The two IN pins on the
SO-8 package must be directly connected on the printed
circuit board to prevent voltage drops between the two
inputs. When used as a SCSI active termination, IN con-
nects to term power. When used as a supply splitter, IN is
also the positive supply output.
GND:
Ground Pin. The multiple GND pins on the SO-8
package are internally connected, but lowest load regulation
errors will result if these pins are tightly connected on the
printed circuit board. This will also aid heat dissipation at
high power levels.
EN:
TTL/CMOS Logic Input. A high level allows normal
operation. A low level reduces supply current to zero. This
pin is internally connected to V
IN
on 3-lead ST packaged
devices.
V
IN
1μF
EN
OUT:
Regulated Output Voltage. Output can source or sink
current. Current limit for sourcing and sinking current is
provided to protect the device from fault conditons. The
output must have a low ESR output filter capacitor. C
OUT
≥ 0.22μF to guarantee stability. A 0.1μF ceramic capacitor
may be needed in parallel with C
OUT
if the ESR of the main
C
OUT
is too high.
FB:
Feedback Pin. The feedback pin is used to program
the output voltage of the adjustable S8 part. The output
voltage range that can be achieved is 2.1V to 6.5V. The
output voltage is determined by the selection of feedback
resistors defined by the following formula:

OPERATION
Output Capacitor
The LT1118 family of voltage regulators require an output
capacitor for stability. The regulators are stable with out-
put capacitors larger than 0.2μF Load transient response
.
is very sensitive to output capacitor value and dielectric
choice. Low ESR ceramic capacitors are the best choice
for fast settling to load transients. Output capacitors
between 0.2μF and 1μF give good performance in most
applications. Larger tantalum output capacitors may be
used to reduce load transient amplitudes. Larger capaci-
tors should be paralleled with a 0.1μF ceramic capacitor
to maintain quick settling time performance and to insure
stability of the regulator control loop. Capacitors larger
than 10μF may be safely used with the regulators, but
little transient settling performance improvement results
from their use.
Worst case transient response of the LT1118 regulators
occurs at zero output current. In order to obtain the fastest
transient settling performance, the regulator output may
be preloaded with a small current. The preload current
reduces the regulator output impedance, reducing output
voltage settling time.
Thermal Considerations
The LT1118 regulators are packaged in plastic SOT-223 and
fused lead S8 packages. These small footprint packages
are unable to convectively dissipate the heat generated
when the regulator is operating at high current levels. In
order to control die operating temperatures, the PC board
layout should allow for maximum possible copper area at
the ground pins of the LT1118. The ground pins and the
tab on the SOT-223 package are electrically and thermally
