Product details
Overview
LT3055IDE-3.3#PBF from Analog Devices is a 500mA, low-noise, low-dropout linear regulator with fixed 3.3V output, ±45V input rating, precision programmable current limit (±10%), and integrated diagnostics including dual FAULT pins, PWRGD, TEMP, and IMON current monitor (1/500× IOUT). It delivers stable power for noise-sensitive RF/DSP supplies in automotive telematics and industrial truck systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT3055IDE-3.3#PBF datasheet, LT3055IDE-3.3#PBF pinout, LT3055IDE-3.3#PBF application, or LT3055IDE-3.3#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 350mV dropout at 500mA, 25μVRMS output noise (10Hz–100kHz), 10mV/°C temperature monitoring, ±2% output tolerance over load/line/temperature, and compatibility with ≥3.3μF ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The LT3055IDE-3.3#PBF integrates a precision current-limit circuit controlled by an external resistor on the IMAX pin, enabling accurate ±10% current limiting across –40°C to 125°C. Its diagnostic architecture uses open-collector FAULT1 (minimum IOUT fault) and FAULT2 (current/thermal fault) pins, plus PWRGD (90% VOUT trip point with 1% hysteresis) and TEMP (250mV @ 25°C, 10mV/°C).
It employs a micropower reference with soft-start via 10nF REF/BYP capacitor, reduces output noise to 25μVRMS using that bypass cap, and maintains stability with low-ESR ceramic capacitors as small as 3.3μF. Reverse battery, reverse current, and reverse output protection are implemented without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V, ±2% tolerance over full load (1–500mA), line (3.9–45V), and temperature (–40°C to 125°C) range |
| Max Output Current | 500mA continuous; limited by internal foldback and external IMAX resistor programming |
| Dropout Voltage | 350mV at 500mA load, enabling operation with VIN as low as 3.65V while maintaining regulation |
| Output Noise | 25μVRMS (10Hz–100kHz) with 10nF REF/BYP capacitor-critical for RF and precision analog supply rails |
| Current Monitor Ratio | IMON outputs exactly 1/500th of IOUT (e.g., 1mA IMON = 500mA IOUT), enabling accurate real-time load monitoring |
| Temperature Sensing | TEMP pin provides 10mV/°C linear output (250mV at 25°C), usable for die temperature estimation and thermal management |
| Shutdown Current | <1μA when SHDN pulled low, supporting ultra-low-power system sleep modes |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.6V to 45V, with ±45V absolute maximum rating-suited for harsh automotive and industrial environments |
Pinout & Package
LT3055IDE-3.3#PBF is housed in a 16-lead (4mm × 3mm) plastic DFN package with exposed GND pad (Pin 17) requiring PCB soldering for thermal and electrical integrity. θJA = 38°C/W, θJC = 4.3°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (Pins 1, 2) | Power Input | Accepts 1.6–45V input; withstands ±45V reverse voltage; requires local 1–10µF bypass if >6" from main filter |
| SHDN (Pin 3) | Shutdown Control | Active-low logic input; pulls output off and reduces quiescent current to <1μA; must be connected (not floating) |
| FAULT1 (Pin 4) | Fault Indicator | Open-collector output asserting low when IOUT falls below programmed IMIN threshold (e.g., open-circuit detection) |
| FAULT2 (Pin 5) | Fault Indicator | Open-collector output asserting low during current limit or thermal shutdown; both FAULT1/FAULT2 low = thermal fault |
| PWRGD (Pin 6) | Power Good | Open-collector output asserting low when VOUT drops below 90% of nominal (3.3V → 2.97V); 1% hysteresis prevents chatter |
| TEMP (Pin 7) | Diagnostics Output | Analog voltage proportional to average die temperature (250mV @ 25°C, +10mV/°C); stable with 100pF–1nF bypass |
| IMON (Pin 8) | Current Monitor | Sinks 1/500th of IOUT; requires ≥22nF decoupling; tied to GND if unused |
| IMIN (Pin 9) | Min Current Threshold | Programs minimum IOUT fault threshold via resistor to GND; left floating if not used |
| GND (Pins 10, 11, 13, 17) | Ground Reference | Multiple GND connections including exposed pad (Pin 17); all must be low-impedance to PCB ground plane |
| REF/BYP (Pin 12) | Reference Bypass | Connects to 10nF capacitor for soft-start and noise reduction; critical for achieving 25μVRMS output noise |
| IMAX (Pin 14) | Current Limit Set | Resistor to GND programs precision current limit (±10%); tie to GND for internal short-circuit protection only |
| ADJ/SENSE (Pin 15) | Feedback Node | Internally connected to regulated 3.3V output; not adjustable-used for internal feedback path |
| OUT (Pins 16, 16) | Regulated Output | Delivers 3.3V at up to 500mA; requires ≥3.3μF low-ESR ceramic capacitor for stability |

FAQ
What is the guaranteed dropout voltage of the LT3055IDE-3.3#PBF at 500mA load?
The LT3055IDE-3.3#PBF guarantees a maximum dropout voltage of 590mV at 500mA load across temperature, with a typical value of 350mV at 25°C. This allows reliable 3.3V regulation down to VIN = 3.65V under worst-case conditions, making it suitable for battery-powered systems with significant voltage sag.
How does the IMON pin on the LT3055IDE-3.3#PBF function, and what is its accuracy?
The IMON pin on the LT3055IDE-3.3#PBF sources a current equal to 1/500th of the output current (IOUT/500), with a typical ratio of 500mA/mA and ±10% accuracy over temperature and load. For example, at 500mA IOUT, IMON delivers 1mA-enabling precise external current sensing without shunt resistors or amplifiers.
Can the LT3055IDE-3.3#PBF operate safely with reverse battery connection?
Yes-the LT3055IDE-3.3#PBF includes integrated reverse battery protection. When the IN pin is driven negative relative to GND (e.g., –45V), the device blocks reverse current flow and prevents reverse voltage from appearing at the OUT pin, protecting both itself and downstream circuitry without external components.
What is the purpose of the TEMP pin on the LT3055IDE-3.3#PBF, and how is it calibrated?
The TEMP pin on the LT3055IDE-3.3#PBF outputs a voltage proportional to average die temperature: 250mV at 25°C with a slope of 10mV/°C (±80mV error over –40°C to 125°C). It requires no external calibration and is stable with a 100pF bypass capacitor-enabling direct ADC measurement for thermal monitoring and derating.
Does the LT3055IDE-3.3#PBF require an external resistor divider to set its output voltage?
No-the LT3055IDE-3.3#PBF is a fixed-output variant; its 3.3V regulation is achieved internally. The ADJ/SENSE pin (Pin 15) is internally connected to the output and does not require external resistors. External resistors are only needed on IMAX (current limit) and IMIN (minimum current fault) pins for diagnostic configuration.
