Product details
Overview
LT3065HDD-1.2#PBF from Analog Devices is a 45V input, 500mA low-noise LDO linear regulator with fixed 1.2V output, programmable current limit, and power-good flag. It delivers ±2% output tolerance over line/load/temperature, 25µVRMS noise (10Hz–100kHz), and operates from –40°C to 150°C in automotive-grade thermal-enhanced DFN. Used in avionic power supplies requiring stable low-noise bias for precision ADCs and sensors.
For engineers reviewing the LT3065HDD-1.2#PBF datasheet, LT3065HDD-1.2#PBF pinout, LT3065HDD-1.2#PBF application, or LT3065HDD-1.2#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 150°C junction-rated DFN package, ±10% programmable current limit accuracy, reverse battery protection, and compatibility with ≥3.3µF ceramic output capacitors without external compensation.
Technical Context
The LT3065HDD-1.2#PBF integrates a precision bandgap reference, error amplifier, and PMOS pass transistor optimized for low dropout (300mV at 500mA) and ultra-low noise. Its internal current limit folds back under short-circuit conditions, and the PWRGD flag asserts when output reaches 86–94% of nominal voltage with 1.6% hysteresis.
It uses a dedicated SENSE pin (Pin 8) and ADJ pin (Pin 7) configured as GND for fixed-output variants-enabling accurate current limit programming via IMAX-to-GND resistor while maintaining tight output regulation independent of load or input variation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.2V ±2% over line, load, and temperature - ensures stable core voltage for low-voltage microcontrollers and FPGAs. |
| Max Input Voltage | 45V - supports wide-range industrial and automotive battery inputs including 24V and 42V systems. |
| Output Current | 500mA - sufficient for powering multiple analog signal chains or digital subsystems from a single rail. |
| Noise (10Hz–100kHz) | 25µVRMS with 10nF REF/BYP capacitor - enables clean supply for high-resolution SAR ADCs and RF front-ends. |
| Dropout Voltage | 300mV at 500mA - allows operation with minimal headroom, e.g., 1.5V input for 1.2V output in energy-constrained designs. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +150°C (H-grade) - qualified per AEC-Q100 for under-hood automotive and avionic applications. |
| Power Good Flag | PWRGD asserts at 86–94% VOUT with 1.6% hysteresis - provides reliable system reset and sequencing control without external monitoring. |
Pinout & Package
LT3065HDD-1.2#PBF uses a thermally enhanced 10-lead 3mm × 3mm plastic DFN package with exposed pad (Pin 11) soldered to PCB for optimal thermal performance (θJC = 9°C/W). The package is RoHS-compliant and lead-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (Pins 1, 2) | Input supply connection | Dual-pin configuration reduces trace inductance and improves high-frequency PSRR; requires local 1µF ceramic bypass. |
| SHDN (Pin 3) | Enable/disable control | Active-low logic input; <1µA shutdown quiescent current enables ultra-low-power standby modes. |
| PWRGD (Pin 4) | Power-good status output | Open-drain flag pulled high externally; signals valid regulation to MCU or sequencer for safe startup. |
| IMAX (Pin 5) | Current limit programming | Connects to GND via resistor to set precision ±10% current limit (e.g., 1.5kΩ → ~200mA); unused must tie to GND. |
| GND (Pin 6) | Ground reference | Signal ground return path; tied internally to exposed pad (Pin 11) - must be solidly connected to PCB thermal plane. |
| ADJ (Pin 7) | Adjust reference node | Configured as GND for fixed-output variants - enables internal feedback network for 1.2V regulation without external resistors. |
| SENSE (Pin 8) | Output voltage sensing | High-impedance sense input for remote sensing; improves load regulation in high-current PCB layouts with trace resistance. |
| REF/BYP (Pin 9) | Noise reduction & soft-start | Accepts 10nF capacitor to reduce reference noise by 2× and control output ramp rate during startup. |
| OUT (Pins 10) | Regulated output | Delivers 1.2V at up to 500mA; stable with ≥3.3µF ceramic output capacitor - no ESR requirement. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable current limit | ±10% accuracy over temperature and input voltage range - enables precise fault current setting for system-level fuseless protection. |
| Reverse battery protection | Withstands –45V on IN pin with <300µA leakage - eliminates need for external series diode in automotive battery-reversal scenarios. |
| Low ESR capacitor stability | Stable with 3.3µF minimum ceramic output capacitor - reduces BOM count and board space vs. tantalum or electrolytic solutions. |
| Shutdown quiescent current | <1µA at VIN = 45V - extends battery life in always-on vehicle modules and portable instrumentation. |
| Thermal grade H | 100% tested at TJ = 150°C - guarantees operation in engine-control units, radar modules, and other high-ambient environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT3066HDD-1.2#PBF | Includes integrated soft-start capacitor and higher PSRR (85dB @ 120Hz); same pinout and specs otherwise. | Better suited for noise-sensitive RF power stages where ripple rejection >80dB is required. | Select LT3066HDD-1.2#PBF if PSRR >80dB at 120Hz is mandatory and soft-start timing must be factory-set. |
| TPS7A4701RGWR | 20V max input, 1A output, 4µVRMS noise; different pinout, no PWRGD or IMAX pins. | Targeted at lower-voltage, higher-current lab equipment and test instruments with tighter noise budgets. | Choose TPS7A4701RGWR only when input voltage ≤20V and ultra-low noise (<5µVRMS) outweighs need for automotive temp grade and fault reporting. |
Compared with LT3065HDD-1.2#PBF, LT3066HDD-1.2#PBF adds factory-tuned soft-start and higher PSRR but shares identical thermal rating and current limit architecture; TPS7A4701RGWR trades automotive qualification and programmability for lower noise and higher output current at reduced input voltage range.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LT3065HDD-1.2#PBF?
The LT3065HDD-1.2#PBF has an absolute maximum input voltage of ±50V on the IN pin, with a recommended operating range up to 45V. This allows direct connection to 24V and 42V automotive battery systems, including cold-crank and load-dump transients compliant with ISO 7637-2. Exceeding 45V may trigger internal protection or degrade reliability.
Does LT3065HDD-1.2#PBF require an external feedback resistor network?
No, LT3065HDD-1.2#PBF does not require external feedback resistors because it is a fixed-output variant. Its internal feedback network is trimmed to deliver 1.2V ±2%, with Pin 7 (ADJ) internally connected to GND and Pin 8 (SENSE) used for remote sensing. External resistors are only needed for current limit programming via the IMAX pin.
How is the power-good flag (PWRGD) of LT3065HDD-1.2#PBF configured and used?
The PWRGD pin of LT3065HDD-1.2#PBF is an open-drain output that pulls low when the output voltage falls below 86–94% of nominal (1.2V), with 1.6% hysteresis. It requires an external pull-up resistor (typically 10kΩ to 3.3V or 5V) and interfaces directly with MCU reset inputs or power sequencers to confirm stable regulation before system initialization.
Can LT3065HDD-1.2#PBF operate with ceramic output capacitors smaller than 10µF?
Yes, LT3065HDD-1.2#PBF is stable with ceramic output capacitors as small as 3.3µF - significantly lower than legacy LDOs requiring 22µF or more. This enables compact, low-ESR designs without compromising transient response or loop stability, and eliminates the need for tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors.
What thermal performance can be expected from LT3065HDD-1.2#PBF in a standard 4-layer PCB layout?
In a standard 4-layer PCB with 1-in² 2oz copper thermal pad connected to Pin 11 (exposed GND pad), LT3065HDD-1.2#PBF achieves θJA ≈ 31°C/W and θJC = 9°C/W. At 500mA and 300mV dropout (150mW dissipation), junction temperature rise is ~4.7°C above ambient - well within its 150°C max rating even at 125°C ambient, enabling full-load operation in sealed enclosures.
