LT3032 Series
Dual 150mA
Positive/Negative Low Noise
Low Dropout Linear Regulator
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
TheLT®3032isadual, lownoise, positiveandnegativelow
dropout voltage linear regulator. Each regulator delivers
up to 150mA with a typical 300mV dropout voltage. Each
regulator’s quiescent current is low (30µA operating and
<3µAinshutdown)andwell-controlledindropout,making
it an excellent choice for battery-powered circuits.

output capacitors of 2.2µF. The regulators do not require
the addition of ESR as is common with other regulators.
