The LT
®
3024 is a dual, micropower, low noise, low drop-
out regulator. With an external 0.01µF bypass capacitor,
output noise drops to 20µV
RMS
over a 10Hz to 100kHz
bandwidth. Designed for use in battery-powered systems,
the low 30µA quiescent current per output makes it an
ideal choice. In shutdown, quiescent current drops to less
than 0.1µA. Shutdown control is independent for each
output, allowing for flexibility in power management. The
device is capable of operating over an input voltage range
of 1.8V to 20V. The device can supply 100mA of output
current from Output 2 with a dropout voltage of 300mV.
Output 1 can supply 500mA of output current with a
dropout voltage of 300mV. Quiescent current is well
controlled in dropout.
The LT3024 regulator is stable with output capacitors as
low as 1µF for the 100mA output and 3.3µF for the 500mA
output. Small ceramic capacitors can be used without the
series resistance required by other regulators.
Internal protection circuitry includes reverse-battery pro-
tection, current limiting, thermal limiting and reverse
current protection. The device is available as an adjustable
device with a 1.22V reference voltage. The LT3024 regu-
lator is available in the thermally enhanced 16-lead TSSOP
and 12-lead, low profile (4mm

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
The LT3024 regulator is tested and specified under pulse load
conditions such that T
J
≈
T
A
. The LT3024 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.
Note 3:
The LT3024 is tested and specified for these conditions with the
ADJ1/ADJ2 pin connected to the corresponding OUT1/OUT2 pin.

LT3024
ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Note 4:
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 5:
To satisfy requirements for minimum input voltage, the LT3024 is
tested and specified for these conditions with an external resistor divider
(two 250k resistors) for an output voltage of 2.44V. The external resistor
divider will add a 5µA DC load on the output.
Note 6:
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: V
IN
– V
DROPOUT
.
Note 7:
GND pin current is tested with V
IN
= 2.44V and a current source
load. This means the device is tested while operating in its dropout region
or at the minimum input voltage specification. This is the worst-case GND
pin current. The GND pin current will decrease slightly at higher input
voltages. Total GND pin current is equal to the sum of GND pin currents
from Output 1 and Output 2.
Note 8:
ADJ1 and ADJ2 pin bias current flows into the pin.
Note 9:
SHDN1 and SHDN2 pin current flows into the pin.
Note 10:
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 11:
For the LT3024 dropout voltage will be limited by the minimum
input voltage specification under some output voltage/load conditions. See
the curve of Minimum Input Voltage in the Typical Performance
Characteristics.
