The LT3010EMS8E is a high voltage, micropower low dropout linear regulator. The device is capable of supplying 50mA output current with a dropout voltage of 300mV. Designed for use in battery-powered or high voltage systems, the low quiescent current (30μA operating and 1μA in shutdown) makes the LT3010EMS8E an ideal choice. Quiescent current is also well controlled in dropout.
Other features of the LT3010EMS8E include the ability to operate with very small output capacitors. The regulators are stable with only 1μF on the output while most older devices require between 10μF and 100μF for stability. Small ceramic capacitors can be used without the necessary addition of ESR as is common with other regulators. Internal protection circuitry includes reverse-battery protection, current limiting, thermal limiting and reverse current protection.
The device is available in a fixed output voltage of 5V and as an adjustable device with a 1.275V reference voltage. The LT3010EMS8E regulator is available in the 8-lead MSOP package with an exposed pad for enhanced thermal handling capability.
