Product details
Overview
LT3055MPMSE-5#PBF from Analog Devices is a 500mA, low-dropout linear regulator with precision current limit (±10%), output current monitor (1/500× IOUT), and dual fault diagnostics (FAULT1/FAULT2). It delivers a fixed 5V output with 350mV dropout at 500mA, ±2% output tolerance over load/line/temperature, and operates from 1.6V to 45V input. It is used in automotive telematics power rails requiring robust open-circuit and overcurrent detection.
For engineers reviewing the LT3055MPMSE-5#PBF datasheet, LT3055MPMSE-5#PBF pinout, LT3055MPMSE-5#PBF application, or LT3055MPMSE-5#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its –55°C to 150°C MP-grade operating range, programmable IMIN threshold for open-load detection, TEMP pin (10mV/°C) for die temperature monitoring, and compatibility with low-ESR ceramic capacitors (≥3.3µF).
Technical Context
The LT3055MPMSE-5#PBF integrates a precision current-limit circuit controlled by an external resistor on the IMAX pin and a minimum-output-current comparator referenced to IMIN. Its FAULT1/FAULT2 pins provide independent open-circuit (IMIN < threshold), overcurrent (IOUT > IMAX threshold), and thermal-fault indication via open-collector logic outputs.
It features a dedicated TEMP pin delivering 250mV at 25°C with 10mV/°C slope, and an IMON pin sourcing exactly 1/500th of output current-both enabling real-time system-level health monitoring without external sensing components. Stability is optimized for ceramic output capacitors ≥3.3µF with no ESR requirement.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5V, ±2% tolerance over full load, line, and temperature range ensures stable MCU/DSP core supply without trimming. |
| Max Output Current | 500mA continuous, with foldback current limiting protecting against sustained overload or short-circuit conditions. |
| Dropout Voltage | 350mV at 500mA enables operation from 5.35V input-critical for 5V systems powered from marginal battery or intermediate rails. |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.6V to 45V supports wide-input applications including automotive (cold-crank, load-dump) and industrial 24V/48V systems. |
| Output Noise | 25µVRMS (10Hz–100kHz) with 10nF bypass capacitor meets noise-sensitive RF and high-precision analog supply requirements. |
| Operating Temp | –55°C to +150°C (MP grade) qualifies for under-hood automotive, military, and harsh-environment industrial use. |
| Current Monitor Ratio | 1/500 × IOUT (±10%) enables accurate current measurement using standard ADCs without shunt resistors or amplifiers. |
Pinout & Package
LT3055MPMSE-5#PBF is housed in a 16-lead plastic MSOP package (4mm × 3mm) with exposed GND pad (Pin 17) requiring PCB soldering for thermal and electrical integrity. The package supports high-reliability mounting in extended-temperature environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (1,2) | Power Input | Accepts 1.6V–45V input; reverse-battery protected-no external diode needed in automotive battery connections. |
| SHDN (3) | Shutdown Control | Active-low logic input; <1µA shutdown current enables ultra-low-power system sleep modes. |
| FAULT1 (4) | Open-Circuit Fault | Asserts low when output current falls below IMIN-programmed threshold-detects broken loads or disconnected sensors. |
| FAULT2 (5) | Overcurrent/Thermal Fault | Asserts low during current limit or thermal shutdown; both FAULT1/FAULT2 low = thermal event. |
| PWRGD (6) | Power-Good Indicator | Open-collector output active low when VOUT < 90% nominal-enables safe processor reset sequencing. |
| TEMP (7) | Die Temperature Sensor | Analog voltage output (250mV @ 25°C, 10mV/°C) for real-time junction temperature monitoring without external sensor. |
| IMON (8) | Output Current Monitor | Sources 1/500 × IOUT; connects directly to ADC input for precise load-current telemetry. |
| IMIN (9) | Min Current Threshold Set | Resistor-to-GND sets open-load detection threshold (e.g., 120kΩ = 10mA); floating disables function. |
| GND (10–13,17) | Ground Reference | Pins 10–13 and exposed pad (17) are all internal GND-must be tied together on PCB for low-impedance return path. |
| REF/BYP (14) | Bypass & Reference | Connect 10nF capacitor to reduce output noise to 25µVRMS; also serves as internal bandgap reference node. |
| IMAX (15) | Current Limit Set | Resistor-to-GND programs precision current limit (e.g., 604Ω = 497mA ±10%); ties to GND for internal short-circuit protection. |
| OUT (16) | Regulated Output | 5V regulated output capable of 500mA; requires ≥3.3µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor for stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable Precision Current Limit | Set via single resistor on IMAX pin with ±10% accuracy across –55°C to +150°C-enables repeatable overcurrent protection without calibration. |
| Open-Circuit Detection | Configurable IMIN threshold (e.g., 10mA or 1mA) detects failed loads or wiring faults before system failure occurs. |
| Integrated Die Temperature Monitoring | TEMP pin provides calibrated 10mV/°C analog output-eliminates need for external thermal sensors in space-constrained designs. |
| Ultra-Low-Noise Regulation | 25µVRMS noise (10Hz–100kHz) with 10nF REF/BYP capacitor supports clean power for RF transceivers and high-resolution ADCs. |
| Reverse Battery Protection | Withstands –45V on IN pin with zero reverse current flow-protects downstream circuitry during battery misconnection. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3026EMS-5#PBF | Fixed 5V, 500mA, but lacks IMIN/IMON/TEMP diagnostics and has higher 45µVRMS noise. | No open-circuit or current-monitoring capability-requires external circuitry for fault detection. | Select when diagnostics are unnecessary and cost is primary; not suitable for ASIL-B or predictive maintenance use cases. |
| TPS7A4701RGWR | Adjustable 1.4V–20.5V, 1A, ultra-low noise (4.7µVRMS), but no current limit programming or FAULT pins. | Requires external current-sense amplifier and comparator for overcurrent/open-circuit detection. | Choose for ultra-low-noise analog supplies where programmability and diagnostics are secondary to noise performance. |
Compared with LTC3026EMS-5#PBF and TPS7A4701RGWR, the LT3055MPMSE-5#PBF uniquely integrates precision current limit, open-circuit detection, and die temperature monitoring in a single 5V LDO-reducing system-level component count and enabling autonomous fault response without firmware intervention.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LT3055MPMSE-5#PBF?
The LT3055MPMSE-5#PBF supports an absolute maximum input voltage of ±50V on the IN pin, with a recommended operating range of 1.6V to 45V. This high input tolerance enables direct connection to unregulated automotive batteries and industrial 24V/48V rails without pre-regulation.
How does the LT3055MPMSE-5#PBF implement open-circuit detection?
The LT3055MPMSE-5#PBF uses the IMIN pin to detect open-circuit conditions: an external resistor between IMIN and GND sets a minimum output current threshold (e.g., 120kΩ = 10mA). If load current falls below this value, FAULT1 asserts low-enabling immediate system-level response without software polling.
What is the purpose of the TEMP pin on the LT3055MPMSE-5#PBF?
The TEMP pin on the LT3055MPMSE-5#PBF outputs a voltage proportional to average die temperature (250mV at 25°C, 10mV/°C). It allows real-time thermal monitoring using a standard ADC, eliminating external temperature sensors and supporting thermal derating or shutdown decisions in the LT3055MPMSE-5#PBF-based design.
Can the LT3055MPMSE-5#PBF operate with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, the LT3055MPMSE-5#PBF is optimized for stability with low-ESR ceramic output capacitors as small as 3.3µF. Unlike many older LDOs, it requires no minimum ESR and avoids the size, cost, and reliability drawbacks of tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors.
What is the accuracy of the current monitor function in the LT3055MPMSE-5#PBF?
The LT3055MPMSE-5#PBF current monitor (IMON pin) delivers a current source equal to 1/500th of output current, with a ratio tolerance of ±10% over the full –55°C to +150°C operating range. This enables accurate load-current telemetry using a simple sense resistor and ADC, without calibration.
