TYPICAL APPLICATION
FEATURES DESCRIPTION
Dual 150mA
Positive/Negative Low Noise
Low Dropout Linear Regulator
The LT
®
3032 is a dual, low noise, positive and negative low
dropout voltage linear regulator. Each regulator delivers
up to 150mA with a typical 300mV dropout voltage. Each
regulators quiescent current is low (30µA operating and
<3µA in shutdown) and well-controlled in dropout, making
it an excellent choice for battery-powered circuits.
Another key feature of the LT3032 is low output noise.
Adding an external 10nF bypass capacitor to each regulator
reduces output noise to 20µVRMS/30µVRMS over a 10Hz to
100kHz bandwidth. The LT3032 is stable with minimum
output capacitors of 2.2µF. The regulators do not require
the addition of ESR as is common with other regulators.
The regulators are offered as adjustable output devices
with an output voltage down to the ±1.22V reference volt-
age or in fi xed voltages of ±5V, ±12V and ±15V. Internal
protection circuitry includes reverse-output protection,
current limiting and thermal limiting.
The LT3032 is available in a unique low profi le 14-lead
4mm × 3mm × 0.75mm DFN package with exposed back-
side pads for each regulator, allowing optimum thermal
performance.

3032fd
ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
The l denotes the specifi cations which apply over the full operating
temperature range, otherwise specifi cations are at TA = 25°C.
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 LT3032 is tested and specifi ed under pulse load conditions
such that TJ TA. The LT3032E is 100% tested at TA = 25°C. Performance
of the LT3032E over the full –40°C to 125°C operating junction
temperature range is assured by design, characterization, and correlation
with statistical process controls. The LT3032I regulators are guaranteed
over the full –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range.
Note 3: Parasitic diodes exist internally between the INN pin and the OUTN,
ADJN, and SHDNN pins. These pins cannot be pulled more than 0.5V
below the INN pin during fault conditions, and must remain at a voltage
more positive than the INN pin during operation.
Note 4: Operating conditions are limited by maximum junction
temperature. Specifi cations do not apply for all possible combinations of
input voltages and output currents. When operating at maximum input
voltages, the output current ranges must be limited. When operating at
maximum output currents, the input voltage ranges must be limited.
Note 5: The LT3032 is tested and specifi ed for these conditions with the
ADJP pin tied to the OUTP pin and the ADJN pin tied to the OUTN pin.
Note 6: To satisfy requirements for minimum input voltage, the LT3032 is
tested and specifi ed for these conditions with an external resistor divider
(two 250k resistors) from OUTP/OUTN to the corresponding ADJP/ADJN
pin to give an output voltage of ±2.44V. The external resistor divider adds a
5µA DC load on the output. The LT3032-12/LT3032-15 have higher internal
resistor divider current, resulting in higher GND pin current at light/no load.
Note 7: Dropout voltage is the minimum input-to-output voltage
differential needed to maintain regulation at a specifi ed output current. In
dropout, output voltage equals:
V
INP/INN – VDROPOUT
For lower output voltages, dropout voltage is limited by the minimum
input voltage specifi cation under some output voltage/load conditions;
see curves for Minimum INN Voltage and Minimum INP Voltage in Typical
Performance Characteristics. LTC is unable to guarantee Maximum
Dropout Voltage specifi cations at 50mA and 150mA due to production
test limitations with Kelvin-Sensing the package pins. Please consult the
Typical Performance Characteristics for curves of Dropout Voltage as a
function of Output Load Current and Temperature.
Note 8: GND pin current is tested with VINP = VOUTP(NOMINAL) or VINN =
VOUTN(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. GND pin current decreases slightly at higher input voltages.
Note 9: Positive current fl ow is into the pin. Negative current fl ow is out of
the pin.
Note 10: For input-to-output differential voltages from INN to OUTN
greater than –7V, a –50µA load is needed to maintain regulation.
Note 11: Reverse output current is tested with the INP pin grounded and
the OUTP pin forced to the nominal output voltage. This current fl ows into
the OUTP pin and out the GND pin.
Note 12: Positive side current limit is tested at VINP = 2.3V or
VOUTP(NOMINAL) + 1V (whichever is more positive). Negative side current
limit is tested at VINN = –2.3V or VOUTN(NOMINAL) – 1V (whichever is more
negative).
Note 13: LTC is unable to guarantee load regulation specifi cations on
xed voltage versions of the LT3032 due to production test limitations
with Kelvin-Sensing the package pins. Please consult the Typical
Performance Characteristics for curves of Load Regulation as a function of
Temperature.

PIN FUNCTIONS
OUTP (Pin 1): Positive Output. This output supplies power
to the positive side load. A minimum output capacitor
of 2.2µF is required to prevent oscillations. Larger out-
put capacitors are required for applications with large
transient loads to limit peak voltage transients. See the
Applications Information section for more information
on output capacitance, bypass capacitance, and reverse
output characteristics.
ADJP (Pin 2, Adjustable Part Only): Positive Adjust. This
is the input to the positive side error amplifi er. This pin
is internally clamped to ±7V. It has a typical bias current
of 30nA which fl ows into the pin (see curve of ADJP Pin
Bias Current vs Temperature in the Typical Performance
Characteristics). The ADJP pin voltage is 1.22V referenced
to ground and the output voltage range is 1.22V to 20V.
BYPP (Pin 3): Positive Bypass. The BYPP pin is used to
bypass the reference of the positive side regulator to achieve
low noise performance. The BYPP pin is clamped internally
to ±0.6V (one VBE). A small capacitor from OUTP to this pin
will bypass the reference to lower the output voltage noise.
A maximum value of 0.01µF is used for reducing output
voltage noise to a typical 20µVRMS over the 10Hz to 100kHz
bandwidth. If not used, this pin must be left unconnected.
GND (Pins 4, 5, Exposed Pad Pin 15): Ground. One of
the DFN’s exposed backside pads (Pin 15) is an electrical
connection to ground. To ensure proper electrical and
thermal performance, solder Pin 15 to the PCB’s ground
and tie directly to Pins 4 and 5. Connect the bottom of
the positive and negative output voltage setting resistor
dividers directly to Pins 4 and 5 for optimum load regula-
tion performance.
INN (Pin 6, 9, Exposed Pad Pin 16): Negative Input. The
DFN package’s second exposed backside pad (Pin 16) is
an electrical connection to INN. To ensure proper electri-
cal and thermal performance, solder Pin 16 to the PCB’s
negative input supply and tie directly to Pins 6 and 9.
Power is supplied to the negative side of the LT3032
through the INN pins. A bypass capacitor is required on
this pin if it is more than six inches away from the main
input fi lter 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 suffi cient.
OUTN (Pin 7): Negative Output. This output supplies power
to the negative side load. A minimum output capacitor
of 1µF is required to prevent oscillations. Larger output
capacitors are required for applications with large tran-
sient loads to limit peak voltage transients. A parasitic
diode exists between OUTN and INN; OUTN can not be
pulled more negative than INN during normal operation,
or more than 0.5V below INN during a fault condition. See
the Applications Information section for more information
on output capacitance and bypass capacitors.
ADJN (Pin 8, Adjustable Part Only): Negative Adjust. This
is the input to the negative side error amplifi er. The ADJN
pin has a typical bias current of 30nA that fl ows out of the
pin. The ADJN pin voltage is –1.22V referenced to ground,
and the output voltage range is –1.22V to –20V. A parasitic
diode exists between ADJN and INN. The ADJN pin cannot
be pulled more negative than INN during normal operation,
or more than 0.5V below INN during a fault condition.
SHDNN (Pin 10): Negative Shutdown. The SHDNN pin puts
the negative side into a low power shutdown state. The
SHDNN pin is referenced to ground for regulator control,
allowing the negative side to be driven by either positive
or negative logic. The negative output will be off if the
SHDNN pin is within ±0.8V(typical) of ground. Pulling the
SHDNN pin more than –1.9V or +1.4V(typical) will turn the
negative output on. The SHDNN pin can be driven by 5V
logic or open-collector logic with a pull-up resistor. The
pull-up resistor is required to supply the pull-up current of
the open-collector device, normally several microamperes,
and the SHDNN pin current, typically 3µA out of the pin
(for negative logic) or 6µA into the pin (for positive logic).
If unused, the SHDNN pin must be connected to INN. The
negative output will be shut down if the SHDNN pin is open
circuit. A parasitic diode exists between SHDNN and INN,
the SHDNN pin cannot be pulled more negative than INN
during normal operation, or more than 0.5V below INN
during a fault condition.

3032fd
BYPN (Pin 11): Negative Bypass. The BYPN pin is used
to bypass the reference of the negative side regulator to
achieve low noise performance. A small capacitor from
OUTN to this pin will bypass the reference to lower the
output voltage noise. A maximum value of 0.01µF is used
for reducing output voltage noise to a typical 30µVRMS
over the 10Hz to 100kHz bandwidth. If not used, this pin
must be left unconnected.
SHDNP (Pin 12): Positive Shutdown. The SHDNP pin puts
the positive side into a low power shutdown state. The
positive output will be off when the SHDNP pin is pulled
below 0.6V(typical). The SHDNP pin can be driven by 5V
logic or open-collector logic with a pull-up resistor. The
pull-up resistor is required to supply the pull-up current
of the open-collector device, normally several microam-
peres, and the SHDNP pin current, typically 1µA into the
pin. If unused, the SHDNP pin must be connected to INP.
PIN FUNCTIONS
The positive output will be shut down if the SHDNP pin
is open circuit. The SHDNP pin can be tied directly to the
SHDNN pin and both pins driven directly by positive logic
for a single point control of both outputs.
NC (Pin 13/Pins 2, 8 for Fixed Voltage Devices): No
Connect. The No Connect pin has no connection to inter-
nal circuitry and may be tied to INP, GND, INN, SHDNP,
SHDNN, OUTP, OUTN, fl oated, or tied to any other point.
INP (Pin 14): Positive Input. Power is supplied to the
positive side of the LT3032 through the INP pin. A bypass
capacitor is required on this pin if it is more than six inches
away from the main input fi lter 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 suffi cient.
LT3032 Series
16
3032fd
The LT3032 is a dual 150mA positive and negative low noise
low dropout linear regulator with micropower quiescent
current and shutdown. It supplies ±150mA at a dropout
of 300mV. Output voltage noise can be lowered on the
positive side to 20µVRMS and to 30µVRMS on the negative
side over the 10Hz to 100kHz bandwidth with the addition
of 0.01µF reference bypass capacitors. Additionally, the
reference bypass capacitors improve transient response,
lowering the settling time for transient load conditions.
Quiescent current is 25µA for the positive side and –30µA
for the negative side (45µA each for the LT3032-12/
LT3032-15), typically dropping to less than 3µA total in
shutdown. In addition to the low quiescent current, the
LT3032 incorporates several protection features which
make it ideal for use in battery-powered systems. If the
load is common mode between the two outputs, it does
not matter which output starts fi rst; either output can be
pulled to the opposing side of ground and the regulator
will still start and operate.
Setting Output Voltage
The adjustable LT3032 has output voltage ranges of 1.22V
to 20V for the positive side and –1.22V to –20V for the
negative side. The output voltages are set by the ratio of
two external resistor dividers as shown in Figure 1. The
LT3032 servos the outputs to maintain the voltages at the
ADJP and ADJN pins to 1.22V and –1.22V, respectively.
The current in the bottom resistor of each divider (R1P
or R1N) is equal to 1.22V/R1 and the current in the top
resistor (R2P or R2N) is equal to the current in the bottom
resistor plus the respective ADJP/ADJN pin bias current.
The bias current for ADJP and ADJN is 30nA at 25°C,
owing into the pin for ADJP and fl owing out of the pin
for ADJN. The output voltages can then be calculated us-
ing the formulas shown in Figure 1. The value of R1P or
R1N should be less than 250k to minimize errors in the
resultant output voltage caused by the ADJP/ADJN pin
bias current. Note that in shutdown the respective output
is turned off and the divider current will be zero. Curves
of ADJP Pin Voltage, ADJN Pin Voltage, ADJP Pin Bias
Current, and ADJN Pin Bias Current (all vs Temperature)
appear in the Typical Performance Characteristics.
The LT3032 is tested and specifi ed with the ADJP/ADJN
pin tied to the respective OUTP/OUTN pin and a ±5µA DC
load (unless otherwise specifi ed) for an output voltage
of ±1.22V. Specifi cations for output voltages greater than
this will be proportional to ±1.22V; (VOUT/±1.22V). For
example, load regulation for an output current change
of 1mA to 150mA is –2mV typical at VOUTN = –1.22V. At
VOUTN = –12V, load regulation is:
(–12V/–1.22V)•(–2mV) = –19.6mV
Bypass Capacitors and Low Noise Performance
The LT3032 provides reasonable noise performance
without reference bypass capacitors from OUTP/OUTN
to the corresponding BYPP/BYPN pin. Using the LT3032
with the addition of reference bypass capacitors lowers
output voltage noise. Good quality low leakage capacitors
are recommended. These capacitors bypass the internal
references for the positive and negative sides of the LT3032,
providing low frequency noise poles. The noise poles
provided by the bypass capacitors decrease the output
voltage noise to as low as 20µVRMS for the positive side
and 30µVRMS for the negative side with the use of 0.01µF
bypass capacitors.
The BYPP pin and BYPN pin are high impedance nodes
and leakage into or out of these pins affects the reference
voltage. The BYPP pin operates at approximately 74mV at

reference by 20% or more.
Output Capacitance and Transient Response
The LT3032 requires output capacitors for stability. It
is designed to be stable with most low ESR capacitors
(typically ceramic, tantalum or low ESR electrolytic). A
minimum output capacitor of 2.2F with an ESR of 3
or less is recommended to prevent oscillations on each
output. The LT3032 is a micropower device and output
transient response is a function of output capacitance.
Larger values of output capacitance decrease peak de-
viations and provide improved transient response for
larger load current changes. Additional capacitors, used to
decouple individual components powered by the LT3032,
increase the effective output capacitor value. When using
bypass capacitors (for low noise operation), larger values
of output capacitors are needed. For 100pF of bypass ca-
pacitance, 3.3µF of output capacitance is recommended.
With a 330pF bypass capacitor or larger, a 4.7µF output
capacitor is recommended. The shaded region of Figure 2
defi nes the range over which the LT3032 is stable. The
minimum ESR needed is defi ned by the amount of bypass
capacitance used, while the maximum ESR is 3Ω. These
requirements are applicable to both the positive and nega-
tive linear regulator.
Give extra consideration to the use of ceramic capacitors.
Ceramic capacitors are manufactured with a variety of di-
electrics, each with different behavior across temperature
and applied voltage. The most common dielectrics used
are specifi ed with EIA temperature characteristic 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
coeffi cients as shown in Figures 3 and 4. When used with
a 5V regulator, a 16V 10F Y5V capacitor can exhibit an
effective value as low as 1F to 2F for the DC bias voltage
applied and over the operating temperature 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 available 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 signifi cant enough to drop
capacitor values below appropriate levels. Capacitor DC
bias characteristics tend to improve as component case
size increases, but expected capacitance at operating
voltage should be verifi ed in situ for a given application.
Voltage and temperature coeffi cients 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. In
a ceramic capacitor, the stress can be induced by vibra-
tions in the system or thermal transients. Tapping on the
ceramic bypass capacitor with a pencil generated the noise
shown in Figure 5. Similar vibration induced behavior can
masquerade as increased output voltage noise.

Stability and Input Capacitance
Low ESR, ceramic input bypass capacitors are acceptable
for applications without long input leads. However, applica-
tions connecting a power supply to an LT3032’s circuit’s
INP/INN and GND pins with long input wires combined
with low ESR, ceramic input capacitors are prone to voltage
spikes, reliability concerns and application-specifi c board
oscillations. The input wire inductance found in many
battery-powered applications, combined with the low ESR
ceramic input capacitor, forms a high-Q LC resonant tank
circuit. In some instances this resonant frequency beats
against the output current dependent LDO bandwidth and
interferes with proper operation. Simple circuit modifi ca-
tions/solutions are then required. This behavior is not
indicative of LT3032 instability, but is a common ceramic
input bypass capacitor application issue.
The self-inductance, or isolated inductance, of a wire is
directly proportional to its length. Wire diameter is not a
major factor on its self-inductance. For example, the self-
inductance of a 2-AWG isolated wire (diameter = 0.26”) is
about half the self-inductance of a 30-AWG wire (diameter
= 0.01”). One foot of 30-AWG wire has about 465nH of
self-inductance.
One of two ways reduces a wire’s self-inductance. One
method divides the current fl owing towards the LT3032
between two parallel conductors. In this case, the farther
apart the wires are from each other, the more the self-
inductance is reduced; up to a 50% reduction when placed
a few inches apart. Splitting the wires basically connects
two equal inductors in parallel, but placing them in close
proximity gives the wires mutual inductance adding to
the self-inductance. The second and most effective way
to reduce overall inductance is to place both forward and
return current conductors (the input and GND wires) in
very close proximity. Two 30-AWG wires separated by only
0.02”, used as forward– and return– current conductors,
reduce the overall self-inductance to approximately one-
fth that of a single isolated wire.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
If wiring modifi cations are not permissible for the applica-
tions, including series resistance between the power supply
and the input of the LT3032 also stabilizes the application.
As little as 0.1Ω to 0.5Ω, often less, is effective in damp-
ing the LC resonance. If the added impedance between
the power supply and the input is unacceptable, adding
ESR to the input capacitor also provides the necessary
damping of the LC resonance. However, the required ESR
is generally higher than the series impedance required.
Thermal Considerations
The power handling capability of the device is limited by
the maximum rated junction temperature (125°C). The
power dissipated by the device is made up of the follow-
ing components:
1. Output current of each side multiplied by the respective
input/output voltage differential: (IOUT)(VIN to VOUT),

2. GND pin current for each side multiplied by its input
voltage: (IGND)(VIN)
The GND pin current of each side is found by examining
the GND Pin Current curves in the Typical Performance
Characteristics. Total power dissipation equals the sum
for both channels of the components listed above.
The LT3032 has internal thermal limiting designed to pro-
tect each side of the regulator during overload conditions.
For continuous normal conditions, the maximum junction
temperature rating of 125°C must not be exceeded. It is
important to give careful consideration to all sources of
thermal resistance from junction to ambient. Additional
heat sources mounted nearby must also be considered.
The LT3032 is a surface mount device and heat sinking is
accomplished by using the heat spreading capabilities of
the PC board and its copper traces. Copper board stiffen-
ers and plated through-holes can also be used to spread
the heat generated by power devices.
Note that the exposed pads (Pins 15 and 16) are elect-
rically connected to ground (GND) and the negative input
(INN) respectively.
The following table lists thermal resistance as a function
of copper area on a fi xed board size. All measurements
were taken in still air on a 4-layer FR-4 board with 1oz
solid internal planes and 2oz external trace planes with a
total fi nished board thickness of 1.6mm.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Calculating Junction Temperature
Example: Given a positive output voltage of 3.3V, a posi-
tive input voltage of 4V to 6V, output current range from
10mA to 150mA, negative output voltage of –3.3V, negative
input voltage of –5V to –6V, a negative output current of
–100mA, and a maximum ambient temperature of 50°C,
what will the maximum junction temperature be for a
2500mm2 board with topside copper of 1000mm2?
The power in each side equals:
P
SIDE = (VIN(MAX) – VOUT)(IOUT(MAX))+(VIN(MAX)•IGND)
where,
I
OUTP(MAX) = 150mA
V
INP(MAX) = 6V
I
GND at (IOUTP = 150mA, VINP = 6V) = 3.7mA
I
OUTN(MAX) = –100mA
V
INN(MAX) = –6V
I
GND at (IOUTN = –100mA, VINN = –6V) = –1.5mA
The total power equals:
P
TOTAL = PPOSITIVE + PNEGATIVE
So,
P
POSITIVE = 150mA(6V – 3.3V) + 3.7mA(6V) = 0.43W
P
NEGATIVE = –100mA(–6V+3.3V)–1.5mA(–6V) =
0.28W
P
TOTAL = 0.43W + 0.28W = 0.71W
Junction Temperature equals:
T
J = TA + PTOTALθJA (using tables)
T
J = 50°C + 0.71W • 33°C/W = 73.4°C
In this case, the junction temperature is below the maxi-
mum rating, ensuring reliable operation.
Protection Features
The LT3032 incorporates several protection features that
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 LT3032 is protected against reverse input
voltages and reverse output voltages on both channels.
Current limit protection and thermal overload protection
protect the device against current overload conditions at
the outputs of the part. For normal operation, the junction
temperature should not be allowed to exceed 125°C.
The positive input of the LT3032 withstands 20V reverse
voltage. The negative input also withstands reverse volt-
age, but the negative input may not be more than 0.5V
(one VBE) higher than the OUTN and SHDNN pins. This
provides protection against batteries that are plugged in
backwards.
The outputs of the LT3032 can be pulled to opposing volt-
ages without damaging the part. The outputs may be pulled
to the opposing polarity with a load that is common mode
between the two and one regulator starts before the other;
in this condition, it does not matter which regulator started
rst. Both sides are capable of having the output pulled to
the opposing polarity and both will still start and operate.
If an input is left open circuit or grounded, the corre-
sponding output can be pulled to its opposing polarity by
as much as 20V. The output will act like an open circuit;
no current will fl ow into or out of the pin. If the input is
powered by a voltage source, the output will source the
short-circuit current and will protect itself by thermal
limiting. In this case, grounding the respective SHDNP/
SHDNN pin will turn off that side of the LT3032 and stop
the output from sourcing current.
The ADJP pin can be pulled above or below ground by
±7V without damage to the device. If the input is left open
circuit or grounded, the ADJP pin acts like an open circuit
when pulled below ground and like a large resistor (typically
100k) in series with a diode when pulled above ground.
LT3032 Series
21
3032fd
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
In situations where the ADJP pin is connected to a resistor
divider that would pull the ADJP pin above its 7V clamp
voltage if the output is pulled high, the ADJP pin input
current must be limited to less than 5mA. For example, a
resistor divider is used to provide a 1.5V output from the
1.22V reference and the output is forced to 20V. The top
resistor of the divider must be chosen to limit the current
into the ADJP pin to less than 5mA when the ADJP pin is
at 7V. The 13V difference between OUTP and ADJP divided
by the 5mA maximum current into the ADJP pin yields a
minimum top resistor value of 2.6k.
In circuits where a backup battery is required on the posi-
tive output, 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 fl ow back into OUTP
follows the curve shown in Figure 6.
If the INP pin is forced below the OUTP pin or the OUTP
pin is pulled above the INP pin, input current typically
drops to less than 2µA. This can happen if the device is
connected to a discharged (low voltage) battery and the
output is held up by a backup battery or a second regula-
tor circuit. The state of the SHDNP pin has no effect on
the reverse output current if OUTP is pulled above INP.

Like many IC power regulators, the negative side of the
LT3032 has safe operating area (SOA) protection. The safe
operating area protection activates when the differential
voltage between INN and OUTN is greater than -7V. The
SOA protection decreases current limit as a function of
the voltage differential between INN and OUTN and keeps
the power transistor inside a safe operating region for all
values of forward input-to-output voltage. The protection
is designed to provide some output current at all values
of INN to OUTN differential voltage up to the Absolute
Maximum Rating. A 50µA load is required to maintain
regulation for INN to OUTN differential voltages greater
than –7V. When in shutdown, protection circuitry remains
active and will cause the output to rise slightly at zero load.
A small pre-load is needed for zero output, if desired (see
graph of Quiescent Current vs Input Voltage in Typical
Performance Characteristics).
When power to the negative side is fi rst turned on, as the
input voltage rises, OUTN follows INN, allowing the regula-
tor to start into very heavy loads. During start-up, as the
INN voltage is rising, the differential voltage between INN
and OUTN is small, allowing the negative side to supply
large output currents. With a high INN voltage, a problem
can occur wherein removal of an output short will not al-
low the output voltage to fully recover. Other regulators,
such as the LT1175, LT1964, and LT3080 also exhibit this
phenomenon, so it is not unique to the LT3032.
The problem occurs with a heavy output load when the INN
voltage is high and the OUTN voltage is low. Common situ-
ations are immediately after the removal of a short-circuit
or when the SHDNN pin is pulled high after the INN pin
has already been turned on. The load line for such a load
may intersect the output current curve at two points. If
this happens, there are two stable operating points for the
negative side of the LT3032. With this double intersection,
the INN supply may need to be cycled down to zero and
brought up again to make OUTN recover.
