The LT?3008 is a micropower, low dropout voltage (LDO)
linear regulator. The device supplies 20mA output current
with a dropout voltage of 300mV. No-load quiescent current
is 3μA. Ground pin current remains at less than 5% of
output current as load increases. In shutdown, quiescent
current is less than 1μA.
The LT3008 regulator optimizes stability and transient
response with low ESR ceramic capacitors, requiring a
minimum of only 2.2μF. The LT3008 does not require
the addition of ESR as is common with other regulators.
Internal protection circuitry includes current limiting,
thermal limiting, reverse-battery protection and reversecurrent
protection.
The LT3008 is ideal for applications that require moderate
output drive capability coupled with ultralow standby power
consumption. The device is available as an adjustable
device with an output voltage range down to the 600mV
reference. The LT3008 is available in the 6-lead DFN and
8-lead TSOT-23 packages.
