Architected as a precision current source and voltage follower allows this new regulator to be used in many applications requiring high current, adjustability to zero, and no heat sink. Also the device brings out the collector of the pass transistor to allow low dropout operation --down to 350 millivolts-- when used with multiple supplies. n APPLICATIONS High Current All Surface Mount Supply High Efficiency Linear Regulator n Post Regulator for Switching Supplies n Low Parts Count Variable Voltage Supply n Low Output Voltage Power Supplies n A key feature of the LT3080 is the capability to supply a wide output voltage range. By using a reference current through a single resistor, the output voltage is programmed to any level between zero and 36V. The LT3080 is stable with 2.2F of capacitance on the output, and the IC uses small ceramic capacitors that do not require additional ESR as is common with other regulators. Internal protection circuitry includes current limiting and thermal limiting. The LT3080 regulator is offered in the 8-lead MSOP (with an exposed pad for better thermal characteristics), a 3mm x 3mm DFN, 5-lead DD-Pak, TO-220 and a simple-to-use 3-lead SOT-223 version.

Exposure to any Absolute Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device reliability and lifetime. Note 2: Unless otherwise specified, all voltages are with respect to VOUT. The LT3080 is tested and specified under pulse load conditions such that TJ TA. The LT3080E is 100% tested at TA = 25C and performance is guaranteed from 0C to 125C. Performance of the LT3080E over the full -40C to 125C operating temperature range is assured by design, characterization, and correlation with statistical process controls. The LT3080I is guaranteed over thefull -40C to 125C operating junction temperature range. Note 3: Minimum load current is equivalent to the quiescent current of the part. Since all quiescent and drive current is delivered to the output of the part, the minimum load current is the minimum current required tomaintain regulation. Note 4: For the LT3080, dropout is caused by either minimum control voltage (VCONTROL) or minimum input voltage (VIN). Both parameters are specified with respect to the output voltage. The specifications represent the minimum input-to-output differential voltage required to maintain regulation. Note 5: The VCONTROL pin current is the drive current required for the output transistor. This current will track output current with roughly a 1:60 ratio. The minimum value is equal to the quiescent current of the device. 4 1.1 1.4 0.003 A %/W Note 6: Output noise is lowered by adding a small capacitor across the voltage setting resistor. Adding this capacitor bypasses the voltage setting resistor shot noise and reference current noise; output noise is then equal to error amplifier noise (see Applications Information section). Note 7: SET pin is clamped to the output with diodes. These diodes only carry current under transient overloads. Note 8: Load regulation is Kelvin sensed at the package. Note 9: Current limit may decrease to zero at input-to-output differential voltages (VIN-VOUT) greater than 25V (DFN and MSOP package) or 26V (SOT-223, DD-Pak and T0-220 Package). Operation at voltages for both IN and VCONTROL is allowed up to a maximum of 36V as long as the difference between input and output voltage is below the specified differential (VIN-VOUT) voltage. Line and load regulation specifications are not applicable when the device is in current limit. Note 10: This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction temperature will exceed the maximum operating junction temperature when overtemperature protection is active. Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction temperature may impair device reliability. Note 11: The SOT-223 package connects the IN and VCONTROL pins together internally. Therefore, test conditions for this pin follow the VCONTROL conditions listed in the Electrical Characteristics table. Rev.

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 dropoutspecifications). IN (Pins 7, 8/Pins 7, 8/Pin 5/Pin 5/Pin 3): This is the collector to the power device of the LT3080. The output load current is supplied 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 dropoutspecifications). NC (Pin 6/Pin 6/Pin 1/Pin 1/NA): No Connection. No connect pins have no connection to internal circuitry and may be tied to VIN, VCONTROL, VOUT , GND or floated. 8 OUT (Pins 1-3/Pins 1-3/Pin 3/Pin 3/Pin 2): This is the power output of the device. There must be a minimum load current of 1mA or the output may not regulate. SET (Pin 4/Pin 4/Pin 2/Pin 2/Pin 1): This pin is the input to the error amplifier and the regulation set point for the device. A fixed current of 10A 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.

D For more information www.analog.com LT3080 BLOCK DIAGRAM IN VCONTROL 10A + - 3080 BD SET OUT APPLICATIONS INFORMATION The LT3080 regulator is easy to use and has all the protection features expected in high performance regulators. Included are short-circuit protection and safe operating area protection, as well as thermal shutdown. The LT3080 is especially well suited to applications needing multiple rails. The new architecture adjusts down to zero with a single resistor handling modern low voltage digital IC's as well as allowing easy parallel operation and thermal management without heat sinks. Adjusting to "zero" output allows shutting off the powered circuitry and when the input is pre-regulated--such as a 5V or 3.3V input supply --external resistors can help spread the heat. A precision "0" TC 10A internal current source is connected to the noninverting input of a power operational amplifier. The power operational amplifier provides a low impedance buffered output to the voltage on the noninverting input. A single resistor from the noninverting input to ground sets the output voltage and if this resistor is set to zero, zero output results. As can be seen, any output voltage can be obtained from zero up to the maximum defined by the input power supply. What is not so obvious from this architecture are the benefits of using a true internal current source as the reference as opposed to a bootstrapped reference in older regulators. A true current source allows the regulator to have gain and frequency response independent of the impedance on the positive input. Older adjustable regulators, such as the LT1086 have a change in loop gain with output voltage as well as bandwidth changes when the adjustment pin is bypassed to ground. For the LT3080, the loop gain is unchanged by changing the output voltage or bypassing. Output regulation is not fixed at a percentage of the output voltage but is a fixed fraction of millivolts. Use of a true current source allows all the gain in the buffer amplifier to provide regulation and none of that gain is needed to amplify up the reference to a higher output voltage. The LT3080 has the collector of the output transistor connected to a separate pin from the control input. Since the dropout on the collector (IN pin) is only 350mV, two supplies can be used to power the LT3080 to reduce dissipation: a higher voltage supply for the control circuitry and a lower voltage supply for the collector. This increases efficiency and reduces dissipation. To further spread the heat, a resistor can be inserted in series with the collector to move some of the heat out of the IC and spread it on the PC board. The LT3080 can be operated in two modes. Three-terminal mode has the control pin connected to the power input pin which gives a limitation of 1.35V dropout. Alternatively, the "control" pin can be tied to a higher voltage and the power IN pin to a lower voltage giving 350mV dropout on the IN pin and minimizing the power dissipation. This allows for a 1.1A supply regulating from 2.5VIN to 1.8VOUT or 1.8VIN to 1.2VOUT with low dissipation. Rev.

Basic Adjustable Regulator Output Voltage The LT3080 generates a 10A reference current that flows out of the SET pin. Connecting a resistor from SET to ground generates a voltage that becomes the reference point for the error amplifier (see Figure1). The reference voltage is a straight multiplication of the SET pin current and the value of the resistor. Any voltage can be generated and there is no minimum output voltage for the regulator. A minimum load current of 1mA is required to maintain regulation regardless of output voltage. For true zero voltage output operation, this 1mA load current must be returned to a negative supply voltage. With the low level current used to generate the reference voltage, leakage paths to or from the SET pin can create errors in the reference and output voltages. High quality insulation should be used (e.g., Teflon, Kel-F); cleaning of all insulating surfaces to remove fluxes and other residues will probably be required. Surface coating may be necessary to provide a moisture barrier in high humidityenvironments. Board leakage can be minimized by encircling the SET pin and circuitry with a guard ring operated at a potential close to itself; the guard ring should be tied to the OUT pin. Guarding both sides of the circuit board is required. Bulk leakage reduction depends on the guard ring width. Ten nanoamperes of leakage into or out of the SET pin and associated circuitry creates a 0.1% error in the reference voltage. Leakages of this magnitude, coupled with other sources of leakage, can cause significant offset voltage and reference drift, especially over the possible operating temperature range. 10 If guard-ring techniques are used, this bootstraps any stray capacitance at the SET pin. Since the SET pin is a high impedance node, unwanted signals may couple into the SET pin and cause erratic behavior. This will be most noticeable when operating with minimum output capacitors at full load current. The easiest way to remedy this is to bypass the SET pin with a small amount of capacitance from SET to ground, 10pF to 20pF is sufficient. Stability and Output Capacitance The LT3080 requires an output capacitor for stability. It is designed to be stable with most low ESR capacitors (typically ceramic, tantalum or low ESR electrolytic). Aminimum output capacitor of 2.2F with an ESR of 0.5 or less is recommended to prevent oscillations. Larger values of output capacitance decrease peak deviations and provide improved transient response for larger load current changes. Bypass capacitors, used to decouple individual components powered by the LT3080, increase the effective output capacitor value. For improvement in transient performance, place a capacitor across the voltage setting resistor. Capacitors up to 1F can be used. This bypass capacitor reduces system noise as well, but start-up time is proportional to the time constant of the voltage setting resistor (RSET in Figure1) and SET pin bypass capacitor. 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 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 coefficients as shown in Figure2 and Figure3. When used with a 5V regulator, a 16V 10F Y5V capacitor can exhibit an effective value as low as 1F to 2F 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 Rev.

D For more information www.analog.com 11 LT3080 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION (5milliohms for the two devices in parallel) only adds about 10 millivolts of output regulation drop at an output of 2A. Even with an output voltage as low as 1V, this only adds 1% to the regulation. Of course, more than two LT3080's can be paralleled for even higher output current. They are spread out on the PC board, spreading the heat. Input resistors can further spread the heat if the input-to-output difference is high. Thermal Performance In this example, two LT3080 3mm x 3mm DFN devices are mounted on a 1oz copper 4-layer PC board. They are placed approximately 1.5 inches apart and the board is mounted vertically for convection cooling. Two tests were set up to measure the cooling performance and current sharing of these devices. The first test was done with approximately 0.7V inputto-output and 1A per device. This gave a 700 milliwatt dissipation in each device and a 2A output current. The temperature rise above ambient is approximately 28C and both devices were within plus or minus 1C. Both the thermal and electrical sharing of these devices is excellent. The thermograph in Figure5 shows the temperature distribution between these devices and the PC board reaches ambient temperature within about a half an inch from the devices. The power is then increased with 1.7V across each device. This gives 1.7 watts dissipation in each device and a Figure5. Temperature Rise at 700mW Dissipation 12 device temperature of about 90C, about 65C above ambient as shown in Figure6. Again, the temperature matching between the devices is within 2C, showing excellent tracking between the devices. The board temperature has reached approximately 40C within about 0.75 inches of each device. While 90C is an acceptable operating temperature for these devices, this is in 25C ambient. For higher ambients, the temperature must be controlled to prevent device temperature from exceeding 125C. A 3-meterper-second airflow across the devices will decrease the device temperature about 20C providing a margin for higher operating ambient temperatures. Both at low power and relatively high power levels devices can be paralleled for higher output current. Current sharing and thermal sharing is excellent, showing that acceptable operation can be had while keeping the peak temperatures below excessive operating temperatures on a board. This technique allows higher operating current linear regulation to be used in systems where it could never be used before. Quieting the Noise The LT3080 offers numerous advantages when it comes to dealing with noise. There are several sources of noise in a linear regulator. The most critical noise source for any LDO is the reference; from there, the noise contribution Figure6. Temperature Rise at 1.7W Dissipation Rev. D For more information www.analog.com LT3080 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION from the error amplifier must be considered, and the gain created by using a resistor divider cannot be forgotten. Traditional low noise regulators bring the voltage reference out to an external pin (usually through a large value resistor) to allow for bypassing and noise reduction of reference noise. The LT3080 does not use a traditional voltage reference like other linear regulators, but instead uses a reference current. That current operates with typical noise current levels of 3.2pA/Hz (1nARMS over the 10Hz to 100kHz bandwidth). The voltage noise of this is equal to the noise current multiplied by the resistor value. The resistor generates spot noise equal to 4kTR (k = Boltzmann's constant, 1.38 * 10-23 J/K, and T is absolute temperature) which is RMS summed with the reference current noise. To lower reference noise, the voltage setting resistor may be bypassed with a capacitor, though this causes start-up time to increase as a factor of the RC time constant. The LT3080 uses a unity-gain follower from the SET pin to drive the output, and there is no requirement to use a resistor to set the output voltage. Use a high accuracy voltage reference placed at the SET pin to remove the errors in output voltage due to reference current tolerance and resistor tolerance. Active driving of the SET pin is acceptable; the limitations are the creativity and ingenuity of the circuit designer. One problem that a normal linear regulator sees with reference voltage noise is that noise is gained up along with the output when using a resistor divider to operate at levels higher than the normal reference voltage. With the LT3080, the unity-gain follower presents no gain whatsoever from the SET pin to the output, so noise figures do not increase accordingly. Error amplifier noise is typically 125nV/Hz (40VRMS over the 10Hz to 100kHz bandwidth); this is another factor that is RMS summed in to give a final noise figure for the regulator. current limit as the input-to-output voltage increases and keeps the power dissipation at safe levels for all values of input-to-output voltage. The LT3080 provides some output current at all values of input-to-output voltage up to the device breakdown. See the Current Limit curve in the Typical Performance Characteristics. When power is first turned on, the input voltage rises and the output follows the input, allowing the regulator to start into very heavy loads. During start-up, as the input voltage is rising, the input-to-output voltage differential is small, allowing the regulator to supply large output currents. With a high input voltage, a problem can occur wherein removal of an output short will not allow the output voltage to recover. Other regulators, such as the LT1085 and LT1764A, also exhibit this phenomenon so it is not unique to the LT3080. The problem occurs with a heavy output load when the input voltage is high and the output voltage is low. Common situations are immediately after the removal of a short circuit. 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 regulator. With this double intersection, the input power supply may need to be cycled down to zero and brought up again to make the output recover. Load Regulation Because the LT3080 is a floating device (there is no ground pin on the part, all quiescent and drive current is delivered to the load), it is not possible to provide true remote load sensing. Load regulation will be limited by the IN LT3080 VCONTROL Curves in the Typical Performance Characteristics show noise spectral density and peak-to-peak noise characteristics for both the reference current and error amplifier over the 10Hz to 100kHz bandwidth. + - SET RSET PARASITIC RESISTANCE OUT RP RP LOAD RP Overload Recovery 3080 F07 Like many IC power regulators, the LT3080 has safe operating area (SOA) protection. The SOA protection decreases Figure7. Connections for Best Load Regulation Rev. D For more information www.analog.com 13 LT3080 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION resistance of the connections between the regulator and the load. The data sheet specification for load regulation is Kelvin sensed at the pins of the package. Negative side sensing is a true Kelvin connection, with the bottom of the voltage setting resistor returned to the negative side of the load (see Figure7). Connected as shown, system load regulation will be the sum of the LT3080 load regulation and the parasitic line resistance multiplied by the output current. It is important to keep the positive connection between the regulator and load as short as possible and use large wire or PC board traces. Thermal Considerations The LT3080 has internal power and thermal limiting circuitry designed to protect it under overload conditions. For continuous normal load conditions, maximum junction temperature must not be exceeded. It is important to give consideration to all sources of thermal resistance from junction to ambient. This includes junction-to-case, case-to-heat sink interface, heat sink resistance or circuit board-to-ambient as the application dictates. Additional heat sources 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. Surface mount heat sinks and plated through-holes can also be used to spread the heat generated by power devices. Junction-to-case thermal resistance is specified from the IC junction to the bottom of the case directly below the die. This is the lowest resistance path for heat flow. Proper mounting is required to ensure the best possible thermal flow from this area of the package to the heat sinking material. For the TO-220 package, thermal compound is strongly recommended for mechanical connections to a heat sink. A thermally conductive spacer can be used for electrical isolation as long as the added contribution to thermal resistance is considered. Note that the Tab or Exposed Pad (depending on package) is electrically connected to the output. The following tables list thermal resistance for several different copper areas given a fixed board size. All measurements were taken in still air on two-sided 1/16" FR-4 board with one ounce copper. 14 Table2.

Rev. D For more information www.analog.com LT3080 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION The power in the drive circuit equals: Junction Temperature will be equal to: PDRIVE = (VCONTROL - VOUT)(ICONTROL) TJ = TA + PTOTAL * qJA (approximated using tables) where ICONTROL is equal to IOUT/60. ICONTROL is a function of output current. A curve of ICONTROL vs IOUT can be found in the Typical Performance Characteristics curves. TJ = 50C + 721mW * 64C/W = 96C The power in the output transistor equals: Reducing Power Dissipation POUTPUT = (VIN - VOUT)(IOUT) The total power equals: PTOTAL = PDRIVE + POUTPUT The current delivered to the SET pin is negligible and can be ignored. VCONTROL(MAX CONTINUOUS) = 3.630V (3.3V + 10%) VIN(MAX CONTINUOUS) = 1.575V (1.5V + 5%) VOUT = 0.9V, IOUT = 1A, TA = 50C Power dissipation under these conditions is equal to: PDRIVE = (VCONTROL - VOUT)(ICONTROL) ICONTROL = In this case, the junction temperature is below the maximum rating, ensuring reliable operation. In some applications it may be necessary to reduce the power dissipation in the LT3080 package without sacrificing output current capability. Two techniques are available. The first technique, illustrated in Figure8, employs a resistor in series with the regulator's input. The voltage drop across RS decreases the LT3080's IN-to-OUT differential voltage and correspondingly decreases the LT3080's power dissipation. As an example, assume: VIN = VCONTROL = 5V, VOUT = 3.3V and IOUT(MAX) = 1A. Use the formulas from the Calculating Junction Temperature section previously discussed. Without series resistor RS, power dissipation in the LT3080 equals: IOUT 1A = = 17mA 60 60 1A PTOTAL = ( 5V - 3.3V ) * + ( 5V - 3.3V ) * 1A 60 PDRIVE = (3.630V - 0.9V)(17mA) = 46mW = 1.73W POUTPUT = (VIN - VOUT)(IOUT) POUTPUT = (1.575V - 0.9V)(1A) = 675mW If the voltage differential (VDIFF) across the NPN pass transistor is chosen as 0.5V, then RS equals: Total Power Dissipation = 721mW C1 VIN VCONTROL LT3080 + - SET RSET IN RS VIN OUT VOUT C2 3080 F08 RS = 5V - 3.3V - 0.5V = 1.2 1A Power dissipation in the LT3080 now equals: 1A PTOTAL = ( 5V - 3.3V ) * + ( 0.5V ) * 1A = 0.53W 60 The LT3080's power dissipation is now only 30% compared to no series resistor. RS dissipates 1.2W of power. Choose appropriate wattage resistors to handle and dissipate the power properly. Figure8. Reducing Power Dissipation Using a Series Resistor Rev. D For more information www.analog.com 15 LT3080 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION The second technique for reducing power dissipation, shown in Figure9, uses a resistor in parallel with the LT3080. This resistor provides a parallel path for current flow, reducing the current flowing through the LT3080. This technique works well if input voltage is reasonably constant and output load current changes are small. This technique also increases the maximum available output current at the expense of minimum load requirements. As an example, assume: VIN = VCONTROL = 5V, VIN(MAX) = 5.5V, VOUT = 3.3V, VOUT(MIN) = 3.2V, IOUT(MAX) = 1A and IOUT(MIN) = 0.7A. Also, assuming that RP carries no more than 90% of IOUT(MIN) = 630mA. Calculating RP yields: RP = 5.5V - 3.2V = 3.65 0.63A The maximum total power dissipation is (5.5V - 3.2V) * 1A = 2.3W. However the LT3080 supplies only: 1A - 5.5V - 3.2V = 0.36A 3.6 Therefore, the LT3080's power dissipation is only: PDIS = (5.5V - 3.2V) * 0.36A = 0.83W RP dissipates 1.47W of power. As with the first technique, choose appropriate wattage resistors to handle and dissipate the power properly. With this configuration, the LT3080 supplies only 0.36A. Therefore, load current can increase by 0.64A to 1.64A while keeping the LT3080 in its normal operating range.
