1036 features two positive regulators in the same
package. The 12V main regulator offers excellent
performance while supplying load currents up to 3A, and
the 5V auxiliary regulator provides similar performance
while supplying lighter loads of 75mA. The main regulator
has the additional feature of being under the shutdown
control of a logic signal. When the enable pin is taken to a
low logic level, the main regulator shuts down and its
output voltage goes to near 0V. During this command, the
auxiliary output is unaffected by the main regulator’s
condition and continues to provide a 5V output.
The main output has current and power limiting combined
with thermal shutdown to make it virtually blowout proof.
The auxiliary output is not affected by the thermal
shut down mechanism or the state of the main output,
allowing it to be used as a back-up in case of overloads or
shorts on the main supply.
The logic input of the LT1036 (enable pin) has a 1.6V
threshold and can be driven from a high source
impedance. This allows it to be driven by most logic
families, including TTL and CMOS.
For a dual 5V version of the LT1036, please see the LT1035
data sheet.

General Information
The LT1036 is a dual output regulator. The main 12V
output is capable of delivering up to 3A of load current and
can be shut down with a logic signal. The auxiliary 5V
output supplies a minimum of 75mA and is unaffected by
the logic signal. The outputs are trimmed to
±
2% initial
tolerance and exhibit excellent line and load regulation.
The logic control feature makes the LT1036 ideal for many
system applications where it is desirable to power-up a
portion of the system for a period of time, and then power
the system down during a standby operation. Applications
such as multiple power supply sequencing, elimination of
expensive AC and DC power switches, delayed start ap-
plications, switching 12V DC loads, and many others are
now easily accomplished.
Timing functions, such as delayed power-up or power-
down, can also be performed directly at the enable pin.
Because a logic low on the enable pin shuts down the main
regulator, feedback from output to enable can be used to
generate hysteresis or latching functions.

U U
The low quiescent current drain of the LT1036 makes it
useful in battery-powered or battery back-up applications.
The enable pin can be used as a “low battery” detector or
to shut down major portions of system power, allowing
memory portions to continue to operate from the auxiliary
output. At low output currents, the auxiliary output will
regulate with input voltage typically as low as 6.2V, giving
maximum battery life.
Good design practice with all regulators is to bypass the
input and output terminals. A 2µF solid tantalum at the
input and at both outputs is suggested. For the applica-
tions which follow, the bypass capacitors are still recom-
mended, but for simplicity are not shown on the diagram.
It is also recommended that for maximum noise immunity
the voltage enable pin be tied high if it is unused. It can be
tied directly to V
IN
, as shown in Figure 1, or to the auxiliary
Output. If the enable pin is left open, it will float to a high
logic level of approximately 1.6V and the main output
regulator will be at 12V.
The enable pin is fully protected against input voltages up
to 30V, even if the power input voltage is zero.
