The LT
®
1962 series are micropower, low noise, low
dropout regulators. The devices are capable of supplying
300mA of output current with a dropout voltage of 270mV.
Designed for use in battery-powered systems, the low
30µA quiescent current makes them an ideal choice.
Quiescent current is well controlled; it does not rise in
dropout as it does with many other regulators.
A key feature of the LT1962 regulators is low output noise.
With the addition of an external 0.01µF bypass capacitor,
output noise drops to 20µV
RMS
over a 10Hz to 100kHz
bandwidth. The LT1962 regulators are stable with output
capacitors as low as 3.3µF. Small ceramic capacitors can
be used without the series resistance required by other
regulators.
Internal protection circuitry includes reverse battery pro-
tection, current limiting, thermal limiting and reverse cur-
rent protection. The parts come in fixed output voltages of
1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3V, 3.3V and 5V, and as an adjustable
device with a 1.22V reference voltage. The LT1962 regu-
lators are available in the 8-lead MSOP package.
