DESCRIPTION
50mA, 3V to 80V
Low Dropout
Micropower Linear Regulator
The LT
®
3010 is a high voltage, micropower low dropout
linear regulator. The device is capable of supplying 50mA
output current with a dropout voltage of 300mV. Designed
for use in battery-powered or high voltage systems, the low
quiescent current (30µA operating and 1µA in shutdown)
makes the LT3010 an ideal choice. Quiescent current is
also well controlled in dropout.
Other features of the LT3010 include the ability to operate
with very small output capacitors. The regulators are stable
with only 1µF on the output while most older devices re-
quire between 10µF and 100µF for stability. Small ceramic
capacitors can be used without the necessary addition of
ESR as is common with other regulators. Internal protec-
tion circuitry includes reverse-battery protection, current
limiting, thermal limiting and reverse current protection.
The device is available in a fixed output voltage of 5V and
as an adjustable device with a 1.275V reference voltage.
The LT3010 regulator is available in the 8-lead MSOP pack-
age with an exposed pad for enhanced thermal handling
capability.

Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2: The LT3010 (adjustable version) is tested and specified for these
conditions with the ADJ pin connected to the OUT pin.
Note 3: Operating conditions are limited by maximum junction
temperature. The regulated output voltage specification will not apply
for all possible combinations of input voltage and output current. When
operating at maximum input voltage, the output current range must be
limited. When operating at maximum output current, the input voltage
range must be limited.
Note 4: To satisfy requirements for minimum input voltage, the LT3010
(adjustable version) is tested and specified for these conditions with an
external resistor divider (249k bottom, 392k top) for an output voltage of
3.3V. The external resistor divider will add a 5µA DC load on the output.
Note 5: Dropout voltage is the minimum input to output voltage differential
needed to maintain regulation at a specified output current. In dropout, the
output voltage will be equal to (VIN – VDROPOUT).
Note 6: GND pin current is tested with VIN = VOUT (nominal) and a current
source load. This means the device is tested while operating in its dropout
region. This is the worst-case GND pin current. The GND pin current will
decrease slightly at higher input voltages.
Note 7: ADJ pin bias current flows into the ADJ pin.
Note 8: SHDN pin current flows out of the SHDN pin.
Note 9: Reverse output current is tested with the IN pin grounded and the
OUT pin forced to the rated output voltage. This current flows into the OUT
pin and out the GND pin.
Note 10: The LT3010E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 125°C operating junction temperature. Specifications over
the –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by
design, characterization and correlation with statistical process controls.
The LT3010H is tested to the LT3010H Electrical Characteristics table at
140°C operating junction temperature. The LT3010MP is 100% tested and
guaranteed over the –55°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range.
High junction temperatures degrade operating lifetimes. Operating lifetime
is derated at junction temperatures greater than 125°C.
Note 11: This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 125°C (LT3010E and LT3010MP) or 140°C
(LT3010H) when overtemperature protection is active. Continuous
operation above the specified maximum operating junction temperature
may impair device reliability.

PIN FUNCTIONS
OUT (Pin 1): Output. The output supplies power to the load.
A minimum output capacitor of 1µF is required to prevent
oscillations. Larger output capacitors will be required for
applications with large transient loads to limit peak volt-
age transients. See the Applications Information section
for more information on output capacitance and reverse
output characteristics.
SENSE (Pin 2): Sense. For the LT3010-5, the SENSE pin
is the input to the error amplifier. Optimum regulation will
be obtained at the point where the SENSE pin is connected
to the OUT pin of the regulator. In critical applications,
small voltage drops are caused by the resistance (RP) of
PC traces between the regulator and the load. These may
be eliminated by connecting the SENSE pin to the output
at the load as shown in Figure 1 (Kelvin Sense Connec-
tion). Note that the voltage drop across the external PC
traces will add to the dropout voltage of the regulator.
The SENSE pin bias current is 10µA at the nominal rated
output voltage.
ADJ (Pin 2): Adjust. For the adjustable LT3010, this is the
input to the error amplifier. This pin is internally clamped
to ±7V. It has a bias current of 50nA which flows into the
pin (see curve of ADJ Pin Bias Current vs Temperature
in the Typical Performance Characteristics). The ADJ pin
voltage is 1.275V referenced to ground, and the output
voltage range is 1.275V to 60V.
NC (Pins 3, 6, 7): No Connection. May be floated, tied to
IN or tied to GND.
GND (Pin 4, Pin 9): Ground. The exposed backside (pin 9)
of the package is an electrical connection for GND. As
such, to ensure optimum device operation, pin 9 must be
connected directly to pin 4 on the PC board.
SHDN (Pin 5): Shutdown. The SHDN
pin is used to put
the LT3010 into a low power shutdown state. The output
will be off when the SHDN pin is pulled low. The SHDN
pin can be driven either by 5V logic or open-collector logic
with a pull-up resistor. The pull-up resistor is only required
to supply the pull-up current of the open-collector gate,
normally several microamperes. If unused, the SHDN pin
must be tied to a logic high or VIN.
IN (Pin 8): Input. Power is supplied to the device through
the IN pin. A bypass capacitor is required on this pin if
the device is more than six inches away from the main
input filter capacitor. In general, the output impedance of
a battery rises with frequency, so it is advisable to include
a bypass capacitor in battery-powered circuits. A bypass
capacitor in the range of 1µF to 10µF is sufficient. The
LT3010 is designed to withstand reverse voltages on the IN
pin with respect to ground and the OUT pin. In the case of
a reversed input, which can happen if a battery is plugged
in backwards, the LT3010 will act as if there is a diode in
series with its input. There will be no reverse current flow
into the LT3010 and no reverse voltage will appear at the
load. The device will protect both itself and the load.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The LT3010 is a 50mA high voltage low dropout regulator
with micropower quiescent current and shutdown. The
device is capable of supplying 50mA at a dropout voltage
of 300mV. The low operating quiescent current (30µA)
drops to 1µA in shutdown. In addition to the low quies-
cent current, the LT3010 incorporates several protection
features which make it ideal for use in battery-powered
systems. The device is protected against both reverse
input and reverse output voltages. In battery backup ap-
plications where the output can be held up by a backup
battery when the input is pulled to ground, the LT3010 acts
like it has a diode in series with its output and prevents
reverse current flow.
Adjustable Operation
The adjustable version of the LT3010 has an output voltage
range of 1.275V to 60V. The output voltage is set by the
ratio of two external resistors as shown in Figure 2. The
device servos the output to maintain the voltage at the
adjust pin at 1.275V referenced to ground. The current
in R1 is then equal to 1.275V/R1 and the current in R2 is
the current in R1 plus the ADJ pin bias current. The ADJ
pin bias current, 50nA at 25°C, flows through R2 into the
ADJ pin. The output voltage can be calculated using the
formula in Figure 2. The value of R1 should be less than
250k to minimize errors in the output voltage caused by
the ADJ pin bias current. Note that in shutdown the output
is turned off and the divider current will be zero.
A small capacitor (C1) placed in parallel with the top resistor
(R2) of the output divider is necessary for stability and tran-
sient performance of the adjustable LT3010. The impedance
of C1 at 10kHz should be less than the value of R1.
Figure 2. Adjustable Operation
The adjustable device is tested and specified with the
ADJ pin tied to the OUT pin and a 5µA DC load (unless
otherwise specified) for an output voltage of 1.275V. Speci-
fications for output voltages greater than 1.275V will be
proportional to the ratio of the desired output voltage to
1.275V; (VOUT/1.275V). For example, load regulation for an
output current change of 1mA to 50mA is –10mV typical
at VOUT = 1.275V. At VOUT = 12V, load regulation is:
(12V/1.275V)•(–10mV)=–94mV
Output Capacitance and Transient Response
The LT3010 is designed to be stable with a wide range
of output capacitors. The ESR of the output capacitor
affects stability, most notably with small capacitors. A
minimum output capacitor of 1µF with an ESR of 3Ω or
less is recommended to prevent oscillations. The LT3010
is a micropower device and output transient response
will be a function of output capacitance. Larger values
of output capacitance decrease the peak deviations and
provide improved transient response for larger load current
changes. Bypass capacitors, used to decouple individual
components powered by the LT3010, will increase the
effective output capacitor value.
Extra consideration must be given to the use of ceramic
capacitors. Ceramic capacitors are manufactured with a
variety of dielectrics, each with different behavior across
temperature and applied voltage. The most common
dielectrics used are specified with EIA temperature char-
acteristic codes of Z5U, Y5V, X5R and X7R. The Z5U and
Y5V dielectrics are good for providing high capacitances
in a small package, but they tend to have strong voltage
and temperature coefficients as shown in Figures 3 and 4.
When used with a 5V regulator, a 16V 10µF Y5V capacitor
can exhibit an effective value as low as 1µF to 2µF for the
DC bias voltage applied and over the operating tempera-
ture range. The X5R and X7R dielectrics result in more
stable characteristics and are more suitable for use as the
output capacitor. The X7R type has better stability across
temperature, while the X5R is less expensive and is avail-
able in higher values. Care still must be exercised when
using X5R and X7R capacitors; the X5R and X7R codes
only specify operating temperature range and maximum

capacitance change over temperature. Capacitance change
due to DC bias with X5R and X7R capacitors is better than
Y5V and Z5U capacitors, but can still be significant enough
to drop capacitor values below appropriate levels. Capaci-
tor DC bias characteristics tend to improve as component
case size increases, but expected capacitance at operating
voltage should be verified.
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.
Thermal Considerations
The power handling capability of the device will be lim-
ited by the maximum rated junction temperature (125°C,
LT3010E/LT3010MP or 140°C, LT3010H). The power dissi-
pated by the device will be made up of two components:
1. Output current multiplied by the input/output voltage
differential: IOUT •(VIN – VOUT) and,
2. GND pin current multiplied by the input voltage:
IGND •VIN
The GND pin current can be found by examining the GND
Pin Current curves in the Typical Performance Character-
istics. Power dissipation will be equal to the sum of the
two components listed above.
The LT3010 series regulators have internal thermal limiting
designed to protect the device during overload conditions.
For continuous normal conditions the maximum junction
temperature rating of 125°C (LT3010E/LT3010MP) or
140°C (LT3010H) must not be exceeded. It is important
to give careful consideration to all sources of thermal re-
sistance from junction to ambient. Additional heat sources
mounted nearby must also be considered.
For surface mount devices, heat sinking is accomplished
by using the heat spreading capabilities of the PC board
and its copper traces. Copper board stiffeners and plated
through-holes can also be used to spread the heat gener-
ated by power devices.
The following table lists thermal resistance for several
different board sizes and copper areas. All measurements
were taken in still air on 3/32" FR-4 board with one ounce
copper.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The thermal resistance junction-to-case (θJC), measured
at the exposed pad on the back of the die, is 16°C/W.
Continuous operation at large input/output voltage dif-
ferentials and maximum load current is not practical
due to thermal limitations. Transient operation at high
input/output differentials is possible. The approximate
thermal time constant for a 2500sq mm 3/32" FR-4 board
with maximum topside and backside area for one ounce
copper is 3 seconds. This time constant will increase as
more thermal mass is added (i.e. vias, larger board, and
other components).
For an application with transient high power peaks, average
power dissipation can be used for junction temperature
calculations as long as the pulse period is significantly less
than the thermal time constant of the device and board.
Calculating Junction Temperature
Example 1: Given an output voltage of 5V, an input volt-
age range of 24V to 30V, an output current range of 0mA
to 50mA, and a maximum ambient temperature of 50°C,
what will the maximum junction temperature be?
The power dissipated by the device will be equal to:
IOUT(MAX)•(VIN(MAX) – VOUT) + (IGND•VIN(MAX))
where:
IOUT(MAX) = 50mA
VIN(MAX) = 30V
IGND at (IOUT = 50mA, VIN = 30V) = 1mA
So:
P=50mA•(30V–5V)+(1mA•30V)=1.28W
The thermal resistance will be in the range of 40°C/W to
62°C/W depending on the copper area. So the junction
temperature rise above ambient will be approximately
equal to:
1.31W•50°C/W=65.5°C
The maximum junction temperature will then be equal to
the maximum junction temperature rise above ambient
plus the maximum ambient temperature or:
TJMAX = 50°C + 65.5°C = 115.5°C
Example 2: Given an output voltage of 5V, an input voltage
of 48V that rises to 72V for 5ms(max) out of every 100ms,
and a 5mA load that steps to 50mA for 50ms out of every
250ms, what is the junction temperature rise above ambi-
ent? Using a 500ms period (well under the time constant
of the board), power dissipation is as follows:
P1(48Vin,5mAload)=5mA•(48V–5V)
+(200µA•48V)=0.23W
P2(48Vin,50mAload)=50mA•(48V–5V)
+(1mA•48V)=2.20W
P3(72Vin,5mAload)=5mA•(72V–5V)
+(200µA•72V)=0.35W
P4(72Vin,50mAload)=50mA•(72V–5V)
+(1mA•72V)=3.42W
Operation at the different power levels is as follows:
76% operation at P1, 19% for P2, 4% for P3, and
1% for P4.
PEFF = 76%(0.23W) + 19%(2.20W) + 4%(0.35W)
+ 1%(3.42W) = 0.64W
With a thermal resistance in the range of 40°C/W to
62°C/W, this translates to a junction temperature rise above
ambient of 26°C to 38°C.
High Temperature Operation
Care must be taken when designing LT3010H applications to
operate at high ambient temperatures. The LT3010H works
at elevated temperatures but erratic operation can occur
due to unforeseen variations in external components. Some
tantalum capacitors are available for high temperature
operation, but ESR is often several ohms; capacitor ESR
LT3010/LT3010-5

30105fe
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
above 3Ω is unsuitable for use with the LT3010H. Ceramic
capacitor manufacturers (Murata, AVX, TDK, and Vishay
Vitramon at this writing) now offer ceramic capacitors that
are rated to 150°C using an X8R dielectric. Device instability
will occur if output capacitor value and ESR are outside
design limits at elevated temperature and operating DC
voltage bias (see information on capacitor characteristics
under Output Capacitance and Transient Response). Check
each passive component for absolute value and voltage
ratings over the operating temperature range.
Leakages in capacitors or from solder flux left after in-
sufficient board cleaning adversely affects low quiescent
current operation. Consider junction temperature increase
due to power dissipation in both the junction and nearby
components to ensure maximum specifications are not
violated for the LT3010H or external components.
Protection Features
The LT3010 incorporates several protection features which
make it ideal for use in battery-powered circuits. In ad-
dition to the normal protection features associated with
monolithic regulators, such as current limiting and thermal
limiting, the device is protected against reverse-input volt-
ages, and reverse voltages from output to input.
Current limit protection and thermal overload protection
are intended to protect the device against current overload
conditions at the output of the device. For normal opera-
tion, the junction temperature should not exceed 125°C
(LT3010E/LT3010MP) or 140°C (LT3010H).
The input of the device will withstand reverse voltages
of 80V. Current flow into the device will be limited to less
than 6mA (typically less than 100µA) and no negative
voltage will appear at the output. The device will protect
both itself and the load. This provides protection against
batteries which can be plugged in backward.
The ADJ pin of the adjustable device can be pulled above
or below ground by as much as 7V without damaging the
device. If the input is left open circuit or grounded, the
ADJ pin will act like an open circuit when pulled below
ground, and like a large resistor (typically 100k) in series
with a diode when pulled above ground. If the input is
powered by a voltage source, pulling the ADJ pin below
the reference voltage will cause the device to try and force
the current limit current out of the output. This will cause
the output to go to a unregulated high voltage. Pulling
the ADJ pin above the reference voltage will turn off all
output current.
In situations where the ADJ pin is connected to a resistor
divider that would pull the ADJ pin above its 7V clamp volt-
age if the output is pulled high, the ADJ pin input current
must be limited to less than 5mA. For example, a resistor
divider is used to provide a regulated 1.5V output from the
1.22V reference when the output is forced to 60V. The top
resistor of the resistor divider must be chosen to limit the
current into the ADJ pin to less than 5mA when the ADJ
pin is at 7V. The 53V difference between the OUT and ADJ
pins divided by the 5mA maximum current into the ADJ
pin yields a minimum top resistor value of 10.6k.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
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. Current flow back into the output will follow
the curve shown in Figure 5. The rise in reverse output
current above 7V occurs from the breakdown of the 7V
clamp on the ADJ pin. With a resistor divider on the
regulator output, this current will be reduced depending
on the size of the resistor divider.
When the IN pin of the LT3010 is forced below the OUT
pin or the OUT pin is pulled above the IN pin, input cur-
rent will typically drop to less than 2µA. This can happen
if the input of the LT3010 is connected to a discharged
(low voltage) battery and the output is held up by either
a backup battery or a second regulator circuit. The state
of the SHDN pin will have no effect on the reverse output
current when the output is pulled above the input.
