The LT
®
3020 is a very low dropout voltage (VLDO
TM
) linear
regulator that operates from input supplies down to 0.9V.
This device supplies 100mA of output current with a
typical dropout voltage of 150mV. The LT3020 is ideal for
low input voltage to low output voltage applications,
providing comparable electrical efficiency to that of a
switching regulator.
The LT3020 regulator optimizes stability and transient
response with low ESR, ceramic output capacitors as
small as 2.2µF. Other LT3020 features include 0% typical
line regulation and 0.2% typical load regulation. In shut-
down, quiescent current drops to 3µA.
Internal protection circuitry includes reverse-battery pro-
tection, current limiting, thermal limiting with hysteresis,
and reverse-current protection. The LT3020 is available as
an adjustable output device with an output range down to
the 200mV reference. Three fixed output voltages, 1.2V,
1.5V and 1.8V, are also available.
The LT3020 regulator is available in the low profile
(0.75mm) 8-lead (3mm × 3mm) DFN package with Ex-
posed Pad and the 8-lead MSOP package.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
PARAMETER CONDITIONS MIN TYP MAX UNITS
Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2: The LT3020 regulators are tested and specified under pulse load
conditions such that T
J
≈ T
A
. The LT3020E is 100% production tested at
T
A
= 25°C. Performance at –40°C and 125°C is assured by design,
characterization and correlation with statistical process controls. The
LT3020I is guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C operating junction
temperature range.
Note 3: This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended to
protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction
temperature may impair device reliability.
Note 4: Maximum junction temperature limits operating conditions. The
regulated output voltage specification does not apply for all possible
combinations of input voltage and output current. Limit the output current
range if operating at maximum input voltage. Limit the input voltage range
if operating at maximum output current.
Note 5: Typically the LT3020 supplies 100mA output current with a 1V
input supply. The guaranteed minimum input voltage for 100mA output
current is 1.10V.
Note 6: The LT3020 is tested and specified for these conditions with an
external resistor divider (20k and 30.1k) setting V
OUT
to 0.5V. The external
resistor divider adds 10µA of output load current. The line regulation and
load regulation specifications refer to the change in the 0.2V reference
voltage, not the 0.5V output voltage. Specifications for fixed output voltage
devices are referred to the output voltage.
Note 7: Dropout voltage is the minimum input to output voltage differential
needed to maintain regulation at a specified output current. In dropout the
output voltage equals: (V
IN
– V
DROPOUT
).
Note 8: GND pin current is tested with V
IN
= V
OUT(NOMINAL)
and a current
source load. The device is tested while operating in its dropout region.
This condition forces the worst-case GND pin current. GND pin current
decreases at higher input voltages.
Note 9: Adjust pin bias current flows out of the ADJ pin.
Note 10: Shutdown pin current flows into the SHDN pin.
Note 11: Reverse output current is tested with IN grounded and OUT
forced to the rated output voltage. This current flows into the OUT pin and
out of the GND pin. For fixed voltage devices this includes the current in
the output resistor divider.
Note 12: The LT3020 is tested and specified for these conditions with an
external resistor divider (20k and 100k) setting V
OUT
to 1.2V. The external
resistor divider adds 10µA of load current.
Note 13: Reverse current is higher for the case of (rated_output) < V
OUT
<
V
IN,
because the no-load recovery circuitry is active in this region and is
trying to restore the output voltage to its nominal value.
Note 14: Minimum input voltage is the minimum voltage required by the
control circuit to regulate the output voltage and supply the full 100mA
rated current. This specification is tested at V
OUT
= 0.5V. At higher output
voltages the minimum input voltage required for regulation will be equal to
the regulated output voltage V
OUT
plus the dropout voltage.

OUT (Pins 1, 2): These pins supply power to the load. Use
a minimum output capacitor of 2.2µF to prevent oscillations.
Applications with large load transients require larger out-
put capacitors to limit peak voltage transients. See the
Applications Information section for more information on
output capacitance and reverse output characteristics.
OUT (Pin 3, Fixed Voltage Device Only): This pin is the
sense point for the internal resistor divider. It should be
tied directly to the other OUT pins (1, 2) for best results.
ADJ (Pin 3, Adjustable Device Only): This pin is the
inverting terminal to the error amplifier. Its typical input
bias current of 20nA flows out of the pin (see curve of ADJ
Pin Bias Current vs Temperature in the Typical Perfor-
mance Characteristics). The ADJ pin reference voltage is
200mV (referred to GND).
GND (Pin 4): Ground.
SHDN (Pin 5): The SHDN pin puts the LT3020 into a low
power state. Pulling the SHDN pin low turns the output off.
Drive the SHDN pin with either logic or an open collector/
drain device with a pull-up resistor. The pull-up resistor
supplies the pull-up current to the open collector/drain
logic, normally several microamperes, and the SHDN pin
current, typically 2.3µA. If unused, connect the SHDN pin
to V
IN
. The LT3020 does not function if the SHDN pin is not
connected.
IN (Pins 7, 8): These pins supply power to the device. The
LT3020 requires a bypass capacitor at IN if it is more than
six inches away from the main input filter capacitor. The
output impedance of a battery rises with frequency, so
include a bypass capacitor in battery-powered circuits. A
bypass capacitor in the range of 2.2µF to 10µF suffices. The
LT3020 withstands reverse voltages on the IN pin with
respect to ground and the OUT pin. In the case of a reversed
input, which occurs if a battery is plugged in backwards,
the LT3020 acts as if a diode is in series with its input. No
reverse current flows into the LT3020 and no reverse volt-
age appears at the load. The device protects itself and the
load.
GND (Pin 9, DD8 Package Only): Ground. Solder Pin 9
(the exposed pad) to the PCB. Connect directly to Pin 4 for
best performance.

The LT3020 is a very low dropout linear regulator capable
of 0.9V input supply operation. Devices supply 100mA of
output current and dropout voltage is typically 150mV.
Quiescent current is typically 120µA and drops to 3µA in
shutdown. The LT3020 incorporates several protection
features, making it ideal for use in battery-powered sys-
tems. The device protects itself against reverse-input and
reverse-output voltages. In battery backup applications
where the output is held up by a backup battery when the
input is pulled to ground, the LT3020 acts as if a diode is
in series with its output which prevents reverse current
flow. In dual supply applications where the regulator load
is returned to a negative supply, the output can be pulled
below ground by as much as 10V without affecting start-
up or normal operation.
Adjustable Operation
The LT3020’s output voltage range is 0.2V to 9.5V. Figure
1 shows that the output voltage is set by the ratio of two
external resistors. The device regulates the output to
maintain the ADJ pin voltage at 200mV referenced to
ground. The current in R1 equals 200mV/R1 and the
current in R2 is the current in R1 minus the ADJ pin bias
current. The ADJ pin bias current of 20nA flows out of the
pin. Use the formula in Figure 1 to calculate output voltage.
An R1 value of 20k sets the resistor divider current to
10µA. Note that in shutdown the output is turned off and
the divider current is zero. Curves of ADJ Pin Voltage vs
Temperature and ADJ Pin Bias Current vs Temperature
appear in the Typical Performance Characteristics section.
Specifications for output voltages greater than 200mV are

Output Capacitance and Transient Response
The LT3020’s design is stable with a wide range of output
capacitors, but is optimized for low ESR ceramic capaci-
tors. The output capacitor’s ESR affects stability, most
notably with small value capacitors. Use a minimum
output capacitor of 2.2µF with an ESR of 0.3Ω or less to
prevent oscillations. The LT3020 is a low voltage device,
and output load transient response is a function of output
capacitance. Larger values of output capacitance decrease
the peak deviations and provide improved transient re-
sponse for larger load current changes. For output capaci-
tor values greater than 20µF a small feedforward capacitor
with a value of 300pF across the upper divider resistor (R2
in Figure 1) is required.
Give extra consideration to the use of ceramic capacitors.
Manufacturers make ceramic capacitors with a variety of
dielectrics, each with a different behavior across tempera-
ture and applied voltage. The most common dielectrics are
Z5U, Y5V, X5R and X7R. The Z5U and Y5V dielectrics
provide high C-V products in a small package at low cost,
but exhibit strong voltage and temperature coefficients.
The X5R and X7R dielectrics yield highly stable
characterisitics and are more suitable for use as the output
capacitor at fractionally increased cost. The X5R and X7R
dielectrics both exhibit excellent voltage coefficient char-
acteristics. The X7R type works over a larger temperature
range and exhibits better temperature stability whereas
X5R is less expensive and is available in higher values.
Figures 2 and 3 show voltage coefficient and temperature
coefficient comparisons between Y5V and X5R material.
Voltage and temperature coefficients are not the only
sources of problems. Some ceramic capacitors have a
piezoelectric response. A piezoelectric device generates
voltage across its terminals due to mechanical stress, simi-
lar to the way a piezoelectric accelerometer or microphone
works. For a ceramic capacitor, the stress can be induced
by vibrations in the system or thermal transients. The re-
sulting voltages produced can cause appreciable amounts
of noise. A ceramic capacitor produced Figure 4’s trace in

induced behavior can masquerade as increased output
voltage noise.
No-Load/Light-Load Recovery
A possible transient load step that occurs is where the
output current changes from its maximum level to zero
current or a very small load current. The output voltage
responds by overshooting until the regulator lowers the
amount of current it delivers to the new level. The regulator
loop response time and the amount of output capacitance
control the amount of overshoot. Once the regulator has
decreased its output current, the current provided by the
resistor divider (which sets V
OUT
) is the only current
remaining to discharge the output capacitor from the level
to which it overshot. The amount of time it takes for the
output voltage to recover easily extends to milliseconds
with microamperes of divider current and a few microfar-
ads of output capacitance.
To eliminate this problem, the LT3020 incorporates a
no-load or light-load recovery circuit. This circuit is a
voltage-controlled current sink that significantly improves
the light load transient response time by discharging the
output capacitor quickly and then turning off. The current
sink turns on when the output voltage exceeds 6% of the
nominal output voltage. The current sink level is then
proportional to the overdrive above the threshold up to a
maximum of approximately 15mA. Consult the curve in
the Typical Performance Characteristics for the No-Load
Recovery Threshold.
If external circuitry forces the output above the no load
recovery circuit’s threshold, the current sink turns on in an
attempt to restore the output voltage to nominal. The
current sink remains on until the external circuitry releases
the output. However, if the external circuitry pulls the
output voltage above the input voltage, or the input falls
below the output, the LT3020 turns the current sink off and
shuts down the bias current/reference generator circuitry.
Thermal Considerations
The LT3020’s power handling capability is limited by its
maximum rated junction temperature of 125°C. The power
dissipated by the device is comprised of two components:
1. Output current multiplied by the input-to-output volt-
age differential: (I
OUT
)(V
IN
– V
OUT
) and
2. GND pin current multiplied by the input voltage:
(I
GND
)(V
IN
).
GND pin current is found by examining the GND pin
current curves in the Typical Performance Characteristics.
Power dissipation is equal to the sum of the two compo-
nents listed above.
The LT3020 regulator has internal thermal limiting (with
hysteresis) designed to protect the device during overload
conditions. For normal continuous conditions, do not
exceed the maximum junction temperature rating of 125°C.
Carefully consider all sources of thermal resistance from
junction to ambient including other heat sources mounted
in proximity to the LT3020.
The underside of the LT3020 DD package has exposed metal
(4mm
2
) from the lead frame to where the die is attached.
This allows heat to directly transfer from the die junction
to the printed circuit board metal to control maximum
operating junction temperature. The dual-in-line pin ar-
rangement allows metal to extend beyond the ends of the
package on the topside (component side) of a PCB. Con-
nect this metal to GND on the PCB. The multiple IN and OUT
pins of the LT3020 also assist in spreading heat to the PCB.
The LT3020 MS8 package has pin 4 fused with the lead
frame. This also allows heat to transfer from the die to the
printed circuit board metal, therefore reducing the thermal
resistance. Copper board stiffeners and plated through-
holes can also be used to spread the heat generated by
power devices.
The following tables list thermal resistance for several
different board sizes and copper areas for two different
packages. Measurements were taken in still air on 3/32"

Calculating Junction Temperature
Example: Given an output voltage of 1.8V, an input voltage
range of 2.25V to 2.75V, an output current range of 1mA
to 100mA, and a maximum ambient temperature of 70°C,
what will the maximum junction temperature be for an
application using the DD package?
The power dissipated by the device is equal to:
I
OUT(MAX)
(V
IN(MAX)
– V
OUT
) + I
GND
(V
IN(MAX)
)
where
I
OUT(MAX)
= 100mA
V
IN(MAX)
= 2.75V
I
GND
at (I
OUT
= 100mA, V
IN
= 2.75V) = 3mA
so
P = 100mA(2.75V – 1.8V) + 3mA(2.75V) = 0.103W
The thermal resistance is in the range of 35°C/W to
70°C/W depending on the copper area. So the junction
temperature rise above ambient is approximately equal to:
0.103W(52.5°C/W) = 5.4°C
The maximum junction temperature equals the maximum
junction temperature rise above ambient plus the maxi-
mum ambient temperature or:
T
JMAX
= 70°C + 5.4°C = 75.4°C
Protection Features
The LT3020 incorporates several protection features that
make it ideal for use in battery-powered circuits. In addi-
tion to the normal protection features associated with
monolithic regulators, such as current limiting and ther-
mal limiting, the device also protects against reverse-
input voltages, reverse-output voltages and reverse
output-to-input voltages.
APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
WUUU
Current limit protection and thermal overload protection
protect the device against current overload conditions at
the output of the device. For normal operation, do not
exceed a junction temperature of 125°C.
The IN pins of the device withstand reverse voltages of
10V. The LT3020 limits current flow to less than 1µA and
no negative voltage appears at OUT. The device protects
both itself and the load against batteries that are plugged
in backwards.
The LT3020 incurs no damage if OUT is pulled below
ground. If IN is left open circuit or grounded, OUT can be
pulled below ground by 10V. No current flows from the
pass transistor connected to OUT. However, current flows
in (but is limited by) the resistor divider that sets the output
voltage. Current flows from the bottom resistor in the
divider and from the ADJ pin’s internal clamp through the
top resistor in the divider to the external circuitry pulling
OUT below ground. If IN is powered by a voltage source,
OUT sources current equal to its current limit capability
and the LT3020 protects itself by thermal limiting. In this
case, grounding SHDN turns off the LT3020 and stops
OUT from sourcing current.
The LT3020 incurs no damage if the ADJ pin is pulled
above or below ground by 10V. If IN is left open circuit or
grounded and ADJ is pulled above ground, ADJ acts like a
25k resistor in series with a 1V clamp (one Schottky diode
in series with one diode). ADJ acts like a 25k resistor in
series with a Schottky diode if pulled below ground. If IN
is powered by a voltage source and ADJ is pulled below its
reference voltage, the LT3020 attempts to source its
current limit capability at OUT. The output voltage in-
creases to V
IN
– V
DROPOUT
with V

set by whatever
load current the LT3020 supports. This condition can
potentially damage external circuitry powered by the
LT3020 if the output voltage increases to an unregulated
high voltage. If IN is powered by a voltage source and ADJ
is pulled above its reference voltage, two situations can
occur. If ADJ is pulled slightly above its reference voltage,
the LT3020 turns off the pass transistor, no output current
is sourced and the output voltage decreases to either the
voltage at ADJ or less. If ADJ is pulled above its no load
recovery threshold, the no load recovery circuitry turns on
and attempts to sink current. OUT is actively pulled low

and the output voltage clamps at a Schottky diode above
ground. Please note that the behavior described above
applies to the LT3020 only. If a resistor divider is con-
nected under the same conditions, there will be additional
V/R current.
In circuits where a backup battery is required, several
different input/output conditions can occur. The output
voltage may be held up while the input is either pulled to
ground, pulled to some intermediate voltage or is left open
circuit. In the case where the input is grounded, there is
less than 1µA of reverse output current.
If the LT3020 IN pin is forced below the OUT pin or the OUT
pin is pulled above the IN pin, input current drops to less
than 10µA typically. This occurs if the LT3020 input is
connected to a discharged (low voltage) battery and either
a backup battery or a second regulator circuit holds up the
output. The state of the SHDN pin has no effect on the
reverse output current if OUT is pulled above IN.
Input Capacitance and Stability
The LT3020 is designed to be stable with a minimum
capacitance of 2.2µF placed at the IN pin. Ceramic capaci-
tors with very low ESR may be used. However, in cases
where a long wire is used to connect a power supply to the
input of the LT3020 (and also from the ground of the
LT3020 back to the power supply ground), use of low
value input capacitors combined with an output load
current of 20mA or greater may result in an unstable
application. This is due to the inductance of the wire
forming an LC tank circuit with the input capacitor and not
a result of the LT3020 being unstable.
The self-inductance, or isolated inductance, of a wire is
directly proportional to its length. However, the diameter
of a wire does not have a major influence on its self-
inductance. For example, the self inductance of a 2-AWG
isolated wire with a diameter of 0.26 in. is about half the
inductance of a 30-AWG wire with a diameter of 0.01 in.
One foot of 30-AWG wire has 465nH of self inductance.
The overall self-inductance of a wire can be reduced in two
ways. One is to divide the current flowing towards the
LT3020 between two parallel conductors. In this case, the
farther the wires are placed apart from each other, the
more inductance will be reduced, up to a 50% reduction
when placed a few inches apart. Splitting the wires basi-
cally connects two equal inductors in parallel. However,
when placed in close proximity from each other, mutual
inductance is added to the overall self inductance of the
wires. The most effective way to reduce overall inductance
is to place the forward and return-current conductors (the
wire for the input and the wire for ground) in very close
proximity. Two 30-AWG wires separated by 0.02 in. re-
duce the overall self-inductance to about one-fifth of a
single isolated wire.
If the LT3020 is powered by a battery mounted in close
proximity on the same circuit board, a 2.2µF input capaci-
tor is sufficient for stability. However, if the LT3020 is
powered by a distant supply, use a larger value input
capacitor following the guideline of roughly 1µF (in addi-
tion to the 2.2µF minimum) per 8 inches of wire length. As
power supply output impedance may vary, the minimum
input capacitance needed to stabilize the application may
also vary. Extra capacitance may also be placed directly on
the output of the power supply; however, this will require
an order of magnitude more capacitance as opposed to
placing extra capacitance in close proximity to the LT3020.
Furthermore, series resistance may be placed between the
supply and the input of the LT3020 to stabilize the appli-
cation; as little as 0.1Ω to 0.5Ω will suffice.
