Adjustable Output Voltage: 1.25V to 6V
Output Current Limit
Reverse-Battery and Reverse-Current Protection
No Protection Diodes Needed
Stable with 1µF Output Capacitor
Stable with Ceramic Capacitors
Short-Circuit and Thermal Overload Protection
Low Profile (1mm) SOT-23 Package
The LTC
®
1844 Series are low noise VLDO
TM
(very low
dropout) linear regulators designed for low power/portable
applications. These regulators can operate from input
voltages as low as 1.6V. Typical output noise is only
30µV
RMS
and typical dropout for the LTC1844-3.3 is just
90mV at the maximum load current of 150mA, reducing to
30mV at 50mA.
The internal P-channel MOSFET pass transistor requires
no base current, allowing the device to draw only 35µA
during normal operation, independent of the dropout
voltage and load current. The quiescent current falls to a
negligible 10nA during shutdown.
Other features include high output voltage accuracy,
excellent transient response, stability with ultralow ESR
ceramic capacitors as small as 1µF, reverse-battery and
reverse-current protection, short-circuit and thermal
overload protection and output current limiting.
The LTC1844 regulators are available in a low profile
(1mm) SOT-23 (ThinSOT
TM
) package.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
The LTC1844 is tested and specified under pulse load conditions
such that T
J
≈
T
A
. The LTC1844E is guaranteed to meet performance
specifications from 0°C to 70°C. Specifications over the – 40°C to 125°C
operating junction temperature range are assured by design,
characterization and correlation with statistical process controls.
Note 3:
The LTC1844 adjustable versions are tested and specified for
these conditions with the ADJ pin connected to the OUT pin for a
V
OUT(NOMINAL)
of 1.25V.
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:
The LTC1844’s high precision degrades slightly at high
temperatures (T
J
> 70°C) with input voltages below 2.2V. The lower output
voltage versions have been split into higher and lower accuracy input
voltage ranges to reflect this.
Note 6:
To ensure adequate input supply voltage, the LTC1844 adjustable
versions are tested and specified for these conditions with an external
resistor divider (two 100k resistors) for an output voltage of 2.50V. The
external resistor divider will add a 5µA load on the output.
Note 7:
Dropout voltage is (V
IN
– V
OUT
) when V
OUT
falls to 100mV below
its nominal value measured at V
IN
= V
OUT
+ 0.5V. For example, the
LTC1844-3.3 is tested by measuring the V
OUT
at V
IN
= 3.8V, then V
IN
is
lowered until V
OUT
falls 100mV below the measured value. The difference
(V
IN
– V
OUT
) is then measured and defined as
∆V
DO
.
Note 8:
ADJ pin bias current flows into the ADJ pin.
Note 9:
Output reverse leakage current is tested with the IN pin grounded
and the OUT pin forced to the rated output voltage.
Note 10:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended to
protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction
temperature may impair device reliability.
