The LT3014EDD#TRPBF is a high-performance, low dropout linear regulator (LDO) designed by Linear Technology, now part of Analog Devices. This LDO is well-suited for applications requiring up to 20mA of output current with a very low dropout voltage and low quiescent current. It operates over a wide input voltage range from 4V to 80V, making it an ideal choice for automotive, industrial, and telecommunications applications that experience large input voltage variations.
Key Features:
- Wide Input Voltage Range: This device can handle input voltages from 4V to 80V, providing a versatile solution for systems with high voltage supplies.
- Low Dropout Voltage: The LT3014EDD#TRPBF offers an extremely low dropout voltage, which is typically 300mV at 20mA, allowing for efficient operation even when the input voltage is close to the output voltage.
- Low Quiescent Current: With a quiescent current of only 30µA (operating) and 1µA in shutdown, it is an excellent choice for battery-powered and always-on systems.
- Adjustable Output: Users can set the output voltage from 1.22V to 60V with a single external resistor, providing flexibility across various applications.
- Stable with Low ESR Capacitors: The regulator is stable with ceramic capacitors, which are smaller, more reliable, and have lower equivalent series resistance (ESR) than other types.
- Overcurrent and Overtemperature Protection: Built-in protection features safeguard the device against fault conditions, enhancing system reliability.
- Compact Package: Available in a small 8-lead DFN package with a 3mm x 3mm footprint, this LDO is suitable for space-constrained applications.
