LT3013
250mA, 4V to 80V
Low Dropout Micropower
Linear Regulator with PWRGD
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The LT®3013 is a high voltage, micropower low dropout
linearregulator. Thedeviceiscapableofsupplying250mA
ofoutputcurrentwithadropoutvoltageof400mV.Designed
foruseinbattery-poweredorhighvoltagesystems,thelow
quiescent current (65μA operating and 1μA in shutdown)
makes the LT3013 an ideal choice. Quiescent current is
also well controlled in dropout.

Stable with 3.3μF Output Capacitor
Other features of the LT3013 include a PWRGD flag to
indicate output regulation. The delay between regulated
output level and flag indication is programmable with
a single capacitor. The LT3013 also has the ability to
operate with very small output capacitors. The regulator
is stable with only 3.3μF on the output while most older
devices require between 10μF and 100μF for stability.
Small ceramic capacitors can be used without any need
for series resistance (ESR) as is common with other
regulators. Internal protection circuitry includes reverse-
battery protection, current limiting, thermal limiting and
reverse current protection.

The device is available with an adjustable output with a
1.24Vreferencevoltage. TheLT3013regulator isavailable
in the thermally enhanced 16-lead TSSOP and the low
profile (0.75mm), 12-pin (4mm × 3mm) DFN package,
both providing excellent thermal characteristics.
