Ultrahigh PSRR Linear Regulator with VIOC Control
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
n
Ultralow RMS Noise: 0.8µV
(10Hz to 100kHz)
The LT®3045-1 is a high performance low dropout linear
regulatorfeaturingLTC’sultralownoiseandultrahighPSRR
architectureforpoweringnoisesensitiveapplications.De-
signed as a precision current reference followed by a high
performance voltage buffer, the LT3045-1 can be easily
paralleled to further reduce noise, increase output current
and spread heat on the PCB. In addition to the LT3045
feature set, the LT3045-1 incorporates a VIOC tracking
function to control an upstream switching converter to
maintain a constant voltage across the LT3045-1 and
hence minimize power dissipation.

Single Resistor Programs Output Voltage
Programmable Current Limit
Low Dropout Voltage: 260mV
The device supplies 500mA at a typical 260mV dropout
voltage. Operating quiescent current is nominally 2.3mA
and drops to <<1µA in shutdown. The LT3045-1’s wide
output voltage range (0V to 15V) while maintaining unity-
gain operation provides virtually constant output noise,
PSRR, bandwidth and load regulation, independent of the
programmed output voltage. Additionally, the regulator
features programmable current limit, fast start-up capa-
bility and programmable power good to indicate output
voltage regulation.

Reverse-Battery and Reverse-Current Protection
12-Lead MSOP and 3mm × 3mm DFN Packages
The LT3045-1 is stable with a minimum 10µF ceramic
output capacitor. Built-in protection includes reverse-
battery protection, reverse-current protection, internal
currentlimitwithfoldbackandthermallimitwithhysteresis.
The LT3045-1 is available in thermally enhanced 12-Lead
MSOP and 3mm × 3mm DFN packages.
