FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
n
Output Current: 5A
The LT®3071 is a low voltage, UltraFast™ transient re-
sponse linear regulator. The device supplies up to 5A of
output current with a typical dropout voltage of 85mV.
A 0.01µF reference bypass capacitor decreases output

permits the use of low ESR ceramic capacitors, saving
bulk capacitance and cost. The LT3071’s features make
it ideal for high performance FPGAs, microprocessors or
sensitive communication supply applications.

Output voltage is digitally selectable in 50mV increments
over a 0.8V to 1.8V range. An analog margining function
allows the user to adjust system output voltage over a
continuous 10ꢀ range. The IC incorporates a unique
tracking function to control a buck regulator powering
the LT3071’s input. This tracking function drives the buck
