DESCRIPTION
The LT
®
1528 is a 3A low dropout regulator optimized to
handle the large load current transients associated with
the current generation of microprocessors. This device has
the fastest transient response of currently available PNP
regulators and is very tolerant of variations in capacitor
ESR. Dropout voltage is 75mV at 10mA, rising to 300mV
at 1A and 600mV at 3A. The device has a quiescent cur-
rent of 400μA. Quiescent current is well controlled; it does
not increase significantly as the device enters dropout.
The regulator can operate with output capacitors as small
as 3.3μF, although larger capacitors will be needed to
achieve the performance required in most microprocessor
applications. The LT1528 is available with a fixed output
voltage of 3.3V. An external SENSE pin allows adjustment
to output voltages greater than 3.3V, using a simple resis-
tive divider. This allows the device to be adjusted over a
wide range of output voltages, including the 3.3V to 4.2V
range required by a variety of processors from Intel, IBM,
AMD, and Cyrix.
The LT1528 has both reverse input and reverse output
protection and includes a shutdown feature. Quiescent
current drops to 125μA in shutdown. The LT1528 is avail-
able in 5-lead TO-220 and 5-lead DD-PAK packages.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
The
SHDN
pin input voltage rating is required for a low
impedance source. Internal protection devices connected to the
SHDN
pin will turn on and clamp the pin to approximately 7V or – 0.6V. This
range allows the use of 5V logic devices to drive the pin directly. For
high impedance sources or logic running on supply voltages greater than
5.5V, the maximum current driven into the
SHDN
pin must be less than
5mA.
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 must be limited.
When operating at maximum output current, the input voltage range
must be limited.
Note 4:
The LT1528 is tested and specified with the SENSE pin
connected to the OUTPUT pin.
Note 5:
Dropout voltage is the minimum input/output voltage required to
maintain regulation at the 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 that 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:
GND pin current will rise at T
J
> 75°C. This is due to internal
circuitry designed to compensate for leakage currents in the output
transistor at high temperatures. This allows quiescent current to be
minimized at lower temperatures, yet maintain output regulation at high
temperatures with light loads. See quiescent current curve in typical
performance characteristics section.
Note 8:
SENSE pin current flows into the SENSE pin.
Note 9:
SHDN
pin current at V
SHDN
= 0V flows out of the
SHDN
pin.
Note 10:
Quiescent current in shutdown is equal to the total sum of the
SHDN
pin current (40μA) and the GND pin current (70μA).
Note 11:
Reverse output current is tested with the input pin grounded
and the OUTPUT pin forced to the rated output voltage. This current
flows into the OUTPUT pin and out of the GND pin.
