TYPICAL APPLICATION
DESCRIPTION
Micropower Low Dropout
Regulators with Shutdown
The LT
®
1129/LT1129-3.3/LT1129-5 are micropower low
dropout regulators with shutdown. The devices are capable
of supplying 700mA of output current with a dropout
voltage of 400mV at maximum output. Designed for use
in battery-powered systems, the low quiescent current,
50μA operating and 16μA in shutdown, make them an ideal
choice. The quiescent current does not rise in dropout as
it does with many other low dropout PNP regulators.
Other features of the LT1129 /LT1129-3.3/LT1129-5 include
the ability to operate with small output capacitors. They
are stable with only 3.3μF on the output while most older
devices require between 10μF and 100μF for stability. Also
the input may be connected to ground or a reverse voltage
without reverse current fl ow from output to input. This
makes the LT1129/LT1129-3.3/LT1129-5 ideal for backup
power situations where the output is held high and the
input is at ground or reversed. Under these conditions,
only 16μA will fl ow from the output pin to ground. The
devices are available in 5-lead TO-220, 5-lead DD-Pak and
3-lead SOT-223 packages.
