The LT3008ETS8-3.3#TRPBF is a high-performance, low dropout linear regulator from Linear Technology, designed to deliver a fixed output of 3.3 volts. This component is part of the LT3008 series, which is well-suited for battery-powered systems, portable devices, and other applications that require a high degree of power efficiency and reliability.
The LT3008ETS8-3.3#TRPBF operates with a very low quiescent current of only 3μA, making it an excellent choice for applications where power conservation is critical, such as in battery-operated and standby power systems. The device is capable of delivering up to 20mA of continuous output current with a dropout voltage as low as 300mV, ensuring efficient operation even at low input voltages close to the output voltage.
This regulator features a wide input voltage range from 1.6V to 20V, providing flexibility for various power supply designs. It also includes over-temperature and over-current protection, enhancing the safety and durability of the application it is used in. The thermal shutdown feature helps to prevent damage from overheating, while the current limit function protects the device and the load from excessive current draw.
The LT3008ETS8-3.3#TRPBF is available in a compact TSOT-23 package, making it an ideal choice for space-constrained applications. The small footprint does not compromise its performance, as the device maintains stable operation with low-noise characteristics, which is essential for sensitive RF and precision analog circuits.
The regulator's fixed output voltage of 3.3V eliminates the need for external resistors, simplifying the design and reducing the bill of materials. This, coupled with its low quiescent current and stable operation over a wide range of temperatures and input voltages, makes the LT3008ETS8-3.3#TRPBF a versatile and dependable solution for a broad array of power regulation needs.
