Product details
Overview
LT1965IQ#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 1.1A, low-noise, adjustable-output LDO linear regulator in a 5-lead DD-Pak package with –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range. It delivers 1.1A output current with 310mV typical dropout at full load, 40µVRMS output noise (10Hz–100kHz), and <1µA shutdown quiescent current - optimized for RF power supply filtering and post-regulation of switching converters.
For engineers reviewing the LT1965IQ#TRPBF datasheet, LT1965IQ#TRPBF pinout, LT1965IQ#TRPBF application, or LT1965IQ#TRPBF equivalent, this page provides verified circuit role (adjustable positive LDO), thermal performance (θJA = 30°C/W), stability conditions (stable with ≥10µF ceramic/tantalum), protection features (reverse-battery, reverse-current, foldback current limit), and validated alternative options for industrial and battery-powered systems.
Technical Context
The LT1965IQ#TRPBF implements a PNP-based pass transistor architecture with internal error amplifier referenced to a precision 1.20V ADJ pin voltage. Its controlled quiescent current remains stable across dropout - unlike many LDOs - enabling predictable thermal behavior during input voltage sag. The device uses Kelvin-sense-capable feedback via the ADJ pin, supporting remote sensing for high-accuracy regulation under PCB trace resistance.
It integrates reverse-battery protection (no external diode required), thermal limiting with automatic recovery, and foldback current limiting that reduces output current during short-circuit events. Shutdown is logic-controlled via the SHDN pin, with threshold defined as 0.2V (off-to-on) and 0.85V (on-to-off), compatible with standard CMOS/TTL interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 1.1A continuous - supports high-current analog/RF loads without derating at TJ ≤ 125°C |
| Dropout Voltage | 310mV typical at 1.1A - enables operation with minimal VIN–VOUT margin (e.g., 3.3V out from 3.6V Li-ion) |
| Output Noise | 40µVRMS (10Hz–100kHz) - meets stringent spectral purity requirements for RF transceivers and ADC reference supplies |
| Quiescent Current | 500µA active / <1µA shutdown - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes and portable instrumentation |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.8V to 20V - accommodates wide-input sources including multi-cell batteries and unregulated DC rails |
| Output Voltage Range | Adjustable 1.20V to 19.5V - configured via external resistor divider; ADJ pin voltage fixed at 1.20V ±18mV |
| Stability | Stable with ≥10µF ceramic or tantalum output capacitor - eliminates need for ESR-tuned capacitors |
Pinout & Package
LT1965IQ#TRPBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 5-lead Plastic DD-Pak package (θJA = 30°C/W, θJC = 3°C/W) with exposed tab soldered to PCB ground for optimal heat dissipation. The package is RoHS-compliant and lead-free.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2 - OUT | Power Output | Dual-source output pins reduce IR drop and improve current sharing; requires ≥10µF output capacitance for stability |
| 3 - ADJ | Feedback Reference Input | Serves as error amplifier inverting input; biased at 1.20V; 1.3µA bias current flows into pin - impacts resistor divider accuracy |
| 4 - GND | Ground Reference | Main signal and thermal ground; connects internally to exposed tab; must be low-impedance for regulation accuracy |
| 5 - SHDN | Shutdown Control | Active-low logic input; pulls output off when <0.45V; draws <5.5µA; unused pin must connect to VIN |
| - Tab | Thermal Ground | Exposed copper pad (GND); mandatory solder connection to PCB ground plane for thermal performance and EMI reduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Reverse-Battery Protection | Withstands –20V on IN pin without damage or reverse current - eliminates need for external series diode in battery inputs |
| No Reverse-Output Current | Blocks current flow from OUT to GND when IN = 0V - prevents backfeeding in redundant supply or hot-swap applications |
| Controlled Quiescent Current in Dropout | IQ remains ~500µA even as VIN approaches VOUT - avoids thermal runaway and enables predictable power budgeting |
| Thermally Enhanced DD-Pak | θJA = 30°C/W - delivers 1.1A output with <25°C rise above ambient at 25°C ambient, simplifying heatsink design |
| Fixed 1.20V Reference Accuracy | ADJ pin voltage = 1.182V to 1.218V over –40°C to 125°C - enables ±2% output tolerance with 1% resistors |
| Current Limit with Foldback | 1.1A nominal limit dropping to ~0.5A during sustained short - reduces power dissipation and junction temperature during faults |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar adjustable LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS7A4701RGWR | Lower noise (4.7µVRMS), lower IQ (525µA), but 1A max output and 350mV dropout at 1A | Superior for ultra-low-noise audio/precision ADCs; less suitable for 1.1A continuous loads | Select when noise <5µVRMS is critical and load current ≤1A; verify thermal margin with θJA = 50°C/W |
| MCP1826T-ADJE/DC | Higher dropout (500mV at 1.1A), higher noise (80µVRMS), but wider temp range (–40°C to 150°C) | Better for under-hood automotive; insufficient for RF-sensitive designs requiring <50µVRMS | Prefer for cost-sensitive industrial controls where 80µVRMS noise and 500mV dropout are acceptable |
Compared with TPS7A4701RGWR and MCP1826T-ADJE/DC, the LT1965IQ#TRPBF uniquely balances 1.1A capability, 310mV dropout, and 40µVRMS noise in a thermally superior DD-Pak - making it optimal for space-constrained RF and high-accuracy analog systems where both current and spectral purity are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current specification for the LT1965IQ#TRPBF?
The LT1965IQ#TRPBF is rated for 1.1A continuous output current at junction temperatures ≤125°C. At higher temperatures (up to 150°C for H-grade variants), the current limit reduces to 1A per datasheet specifications. Derating curves confirm stable operation up to 1.1A with proper PCB thermal design using the exposed DD-Pak tab.
Does the LT1965IQ#TRPBF require an external diode for reverse-battery protection?
No, the LT1965IQ#TRPBF includes integrated reverse-battery protection and withstands –20V on the IN pin without external components. When reverse voltage is applied, the device behaves like a series diode - blocking reverse current and preventing damage to itself or downstream circuitry.
How does the LT1965IQ#TRPBF achieve low output noise compared to standard LDOs?
The LT1965IQ#TRPBF achieves 40µVRMS (10Hz–100kHz) noise through proprietary bandgap and error amplifier design, combined with low-noise pass transistor architecture. Its internal reference and feedback path are optimized to minimize flicker and thermal noise contributions - critical for powering RF synthesizers and high-resolution ADCs.
Can the LT1965IQ#TRPBF be used with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, the LT1965IQ#TRPBF is explicitly characterized and guaranteed stable with ≥10µF ceramic or tantalum output capacitors - no minimum ESR requirement. This eliminates the need for aluminum electrolytic or specialty ESR-tuned capacitors, reducing board area and improving reliability.
What is the function of the ADJ pin on the LT1965IQ#TRPBF, and how is output voltage set?
The ADJ pin on the LT1965IQ#TRPBF serves as the feedback reference input to the error amplifier and is held at a precise 1.20V (±18mV) relative to GND. Output voltage is set by an external resistor divider: VOUT = 1.20V × (1 + R1/R2). ADJ pin bias current (1.3µA) flows into the pin and must be accounted for in high-accuracy designs.
Is the LT1965IQ#TRPBF pin-compatible with other packages in the LT1965 family?
No - the LT1965IQ#TRPBF uses a 5-lead DD-Pak footprint distinct from the 8-lead DFN, MSOP, or TO-220 variants. Pin functions (OUT, ADJ, GND, SHDN, IN) are consistent across packages, but physical layout, thermal pad configuration, and pin numbering differ. PCB redesign is required when substituting packages.
