The LT1763IS8#TRPBF is a high-performance low dropout voltage linear regulator from Linear Technology, designed to provide precision current and thermal limiting. This device is capable of delivering up to 500mA of continuous output current with a typical dropout voltage of only 300mV at full load. Its low noise and low dropout performance make it an ideal choice for sensitive RF supply applications and post-regulation for switching power supplies.
Key Features:
- Output Current: Capable of delivering 500mA of continuous output current.
- Low Dropout Voltage: Typical dropout voltage is just 300mV at full load, enabling efficient operation even with very low input-to-output voltage differentials.
- Low Noise: With an output noise as low as 20µV RMS, it is well-suited for noise-sensitive applications such as precision data acquisition systems, RF applications, and audio amplifiers.
- Stable with Low ESR Capacitors: The LT1763IS8#TRPBF remains stable with output capacitors as low as 10µF, allowing for the use of small, cost-effective capacitors with low equivalent series resistance (ESR).
- Adjustable and Fixed Output Voltages: The output voltage can be set from 1.22V to 20V with a single external resistor or can be configured to a fixed output voltage version.
- Thermal and Overcurrent Protection: Integrated thermal shutdown and current limiting protect the device and the load from damage due to overheating and overcurrent conditions.
- Wide Operating Temperature Range: Suitable for industrial applications, it operates over a junction temperature range from -40°C to 125°C.
- Package: Available in an 8-lead SOIC package, it is both compact and easy to integrate into a variety of circuit designs.
Applications:
- RF and Mixed Signal Applications
