Description
Demonstration circuit DC2276A is a 1.5A low dropout
negative linear regulator featuring the
is designed for applications requiring negative output volt-
age, high current without a heat sink, output adjustability
to zero and low dropout voltage.
The LT3091 features fast transient response, high PSRR
and output noise as low as 18µV
a wide output voltage range (0V to –32V) while maintain-
ing unity gain operation. This yields virtually constant
bandwidth, load regulation, PSRR and noise, independent
of the programmed output voltage.
The LT3091 supplies 1.5A at a typical dropout voltage of
300mV. Operating quiescent current is nominally 1.2mA
and drops to <<1µA in shutdown. A single resistor adjusts
the LT3091's precision programmable current limit. The
LT3091's positive or negative current monitor either

sources a current (0.25mA/A) or sinks a current (0.5mA/A)
proportional to output current.
Built-in protection includes reverse output protection,
internal current limit with foldback and thermal shutdown
with hysteresis.
DC2276A uses the LT3091EDE which is a 14-lead (4mm
x 3mm) plastic DFN package with an exposed pad on the
bottom side of the IC for better thermal performance.
These features make DC2276A an ideal circuit for surface-
mount power supplies, rugged industrial power supplies,
low output voltage supplies and as a post regulator for
switching supplies.
