The LT
®
1964 is a micropower low noise, low dropout
negative regulator. The device is capable of supplying
200mA of output current with a dropout voltage of 340mV.
Low quiescent current (30µA operating and 3µA shut-
down) makes the LT1964 an excellent choice for battery-
powered applications. Quiescent current is well controlled
in dropout.
Other features of the LT1964 include low output noise.
With the addition of an external 0.01µF bypass capacitor,
output noise is reduced to 30µV
RMS
over a 10Hz to 100kHz
bandwidth. The LT1964 is capable of operating with small
capacitors and is stable with output capacitors as low as
1µF. Small ceramic capacitors can be used without the
necessary addition of ESR as is common with other
regulators. Internal protection circuitry includes reverse
output protection, current limiting, and thermal limiting.
The device is available with a fixed output voltage of –5V
and as an adjustable device with a –1.22V reference
voltage. The LT1964 regulators are available in a low
profile (1mm) ThinSOT package.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
The LT1964 (adjustable version) is tested and specified for these
conditions with the ADJ pin connected to the OUT pin.
Note 3:
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 4:
To satisfy requirements for minimum input voltage, the LT1964
(adjustable version) is tested and specified for these conditions with an
external resistor divider (two 249k resistors) for an output voltage of
–2.44V. The external resistor divider will add a 5µA DC load on the output.
Note 5:
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 6:
GND pin current is tested with V
IN
= V
OUT(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. The GND pin current will
decrease slightly at higher input voltages.
Note 7:
ADJ pin bias current flows out of the ADJ pin.
Note 8:
Positive SHDN pin current flows into the SHDN pin. SHDN pin
current is included in the GND pin current specification.
Note 9:
For input-to-output differential voltages greater than 7V, a 50µA
load is needed to maintain regulation.
Note 10:
The LT1964E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 125°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 125°C operating
junction temperature range are assured by design, characterization and
correlation with statistical process controls.
Note 11:
A parasitic diode exists internally on the LT1964 between the
OUT, ADJ and SHDN pins and the IN pin. The OUT, ADJ and SHDN pins
cannot be pulled more than 0.5V more negative than the IN pin during
fault conditions, and must remain at a voltage more positive than the IN
pin during operation.
Note 12:
For the LT1964-BYP, this specification accounts for the operating
threshold of the SHDN pin, which is tied to the IN pin internally. For the
LT1964-SD, the SHDN threshold must be met to ensure device operation.
Note 13:
Actual thermal resistance (θ
JA
) junction to ambient will be a
function of board layout. Junction-to-case thermal resistance (θ
JC
)
measured at Pin 2 is 60°C/W. See the Thermal Considerations section in
the Applications Information.
