pin FuncTions (DD/MS8E)
V
(Pin 5/Pin 5): This pin is the supply pin for the
OUT (Pins 1-3/Pins 1-3): This is the power output of the
device. There must be a minimum load current of 1mA
or the output may not regulate.
CONTROL
control circuitry of the device. The current flow into this
pin is about 1.7% of the output current. For the device to
regulate, this voltage must be more than 1.2V to 1.35V
greater than the output voltage (see Dropout specifica-
tions).
SET (Pin 4/Pin 4): This pin is the input to the error am-
plifier and the regulation set point for the device. A fixed
current of 10µA flows out of this pin through a single
external resistor, which programs the output voltage of
the device. Output voltage range is zero to the absolute
maximum rated output voltage. Transient performance
can be improved by adding a small capacitor from the
SET pin to ground.
IN (Pins 7, 8/Pins 7, 8): This is the collector to the power
deviceoftheLT3080-1.Theoutputloadcurrentissupplied
through this pin. For the device to regulate, the voltage at
this pin must be more than 0.1V to 0.5V greater than the
output voltage (see Dropout specifications).
