LT1962 Series 300mA, Low Noise, Micropower LDO Regulators FeaTuresDescripTion n Low Noise: 20µVRMS (10Hz to 100kHz) The LT®1962 series are micropower, low noise, low dropout n Output Current: 300mA regulators. The devices are capable of supplying 300mA n Low Quiescent Current: 30µA of output current with a dropout voltage of 270mV. De- n Wide Input Voltage Range: 1.8V to 20V signed for use in battery-powered systems, the low 30µA n Low Dropout Voltage: 270mV quiescent current makes them an ideal choice. Quiescent n Very Low Shutdown Current: < 1µA current is well controlled; it does not rise in dropout as it n No Protection Diodes Needed does with many other regulators. n Fixed Output Voltages: 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3V, 3.3V, 5V A key feature of the LT1962 regulators is low output noise. n Adjustable Output from 1.22V to 20V With the addition of an external 0.01µF bypass capacitor, n Stable with 3.3µF Output Capacitor output noise drops to 20µVRMS over a 10Hz to 100kHz n Stable with Aluminum, Tantalum or bandwidth. The LT1962 regulators are stable with output Ceramic Capacitors capacitors as low as 3.3µF. Small ceramic capacitors can n Reverse Battery Protection be used without the series resistance required by other n No Reverse Current regulators. n Overcurrent and Overtemperature Protected n 8-Lead MSOP Package Internal protection circuitry includes reverse battery protec- tion, current limiting, thermal limiting and reverse current protection. The parts come in fixed output voltages of 1.5V, applicaTions 1.8V, 2.5V, 3V, 3.3V and 5V, and as an adjustable device n Cellular Phones with a 1.22V reference voltage.
