LT3060ITS8-5#TRMPBF - Low Dropout Linear Regulator

The LT3060ITS8-5#TRMPBF from Analog Devices Inc. is a high-performance, low dropout linear regulator (LDO) that delivers up to 45mA of continuous output current with a low dropout voltage of 300mV at full load. Designed for space-constrained applications, this LDO comes in a compact TSOT-23 package, making it an excellent choice for portable and battery-powered devices.

This regulator features an adjustable output from 1.8V to 45V with an external resistor, while the fixed versions are available in 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V. The LT3060ITS8-5#TRMPBF variant specifically provides a fixed 5V output. The device operates with a quiescent current of only 30μA, which reduces power consumption and extends battery life in portable applications.

One of the key benefits of the LT3060ITS8-5#TRMPBF is its ability to maintain a stable output with very low output noise of just 30μVRMS across a 10Hz to 100kHz bandwidth, making it ideal for noise-sensitive applications such as radio frequency (RF) or precision instrumentation. The device also includes internal protection features such as thermal shutdown, current limit, and reverse battery protection which enhance system reliability.

For applications requiring power sequencing, the LT3060ITS8-5#TRMPBF provides a programmable power good flag and a shutdown feature that reduces the quiescent current to less than 3μA. The device is stable with a wide range of output capacitors, including ceramic, tantalum, or aluminum electrolytic, providing flexibility in design.

The LT3060ITS8-5#TRMPBF operates over a wide input voltage range from 1.6V to 45V, making it suitable for a variety of input sources, from single-cell Li-Ion batteries to automotive inputs. Its robust design and comprehensive feature set make it an excellent choice for designers looking for a reliable LDO regulator for their next project.
