The LT
®
1763 series are micropower, low noise, low
dropout regulators. The devices are capable of supplying
500mA of output current with a dropout voltage of 300mV.
Designed for use in battery-powered systems, the low
30µA quiescent current makes them an ideal choice.
Quiescent current is well controlled; it does not rise in
dropout as it does with many other regulators.
A key feature of the LT1763 regulators is low output noise.
With the addition of an external 0.01µF bypass capacitor,
output noise drops to 20µV
RMS
over a 10Hz to 100kHz
bandwidth. The LT1763 regulators are stable with output
capacitors as low as 3.3µF. 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 parts come in fixed output volt-
ages of 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3V, 3.3V and 5V, and as an
adjustable device with a 1.22V reference voltage. The
LT1763 regulators are available in the 8-lead SO package.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
The LT1763 regulators are tested and specified under pulse load
conditions such that T
J
≈
T
A
. The LT1763 is 100% 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 LT1763 (adjustable version) is tested and specified for these
conditions with the ADJ pin connected to the OUT pin.
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 LT1763
(adjustable version) 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.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
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
= V
OUT(NOMINAL)
or V
IN
= 2.3V
(whichever is greater) 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 8:
ADJ pin bias current flows into the ADJ pin.
Note 9:
SHDN pin current flows into the SHDN 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 LT1763, LT1763-1.5 and LT1763-1.8 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.
