GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The LT3097 is a dual, positive and negative, high-performance,
low-dropout linear regulator featuring Analog Devices, Inc., ultra-
low noise and ultra-high power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) archi-
tecture for powering noise-sensitive applications. Each regulator
delivers up to 500 mA with a typical 260 mV/235 mV (positive/nega-
tive) dropout voltage.
► Programmable power good
► Fast start-up capability
Operating quiescent current is nominally 2.2 mA/2.35 mA (posi-
tive/negative) and drops to 0.3 µA/3 µA (positive/negative) in shut-
down. The LT3097 has a wide output voltage range (0 V to 15 V,
positive and 0 V to -19.5 V, negative) error amplifier that operates
in unity-gain and provides virtually constant output noise, PSRR,
bandwidth and load regulation, independent of the programmed
output voltage.
► Precision enable/undervoltage lockout (UVLO)
► Internal current limit with foldback
► Minimum output capacitor: 10 µF ceramic
► Compact, low-profile, 22-lead, 6 mm × 3 mm, Plastic DFN
package
LT3097 is stable with a minimum 10 μF ceramic output capacitor for
each channel. Built-in protection includes internal current limit with
foldback and thermal limit with hysteresis. The positive regulator
also includes reverse-battery protection and reverse-current protec-
tion. The LT3097 is available in a thermally enhanced, 22-lead 6
mm × 3 mm, Plastic dual-flat no-leads (DFN) package.
