GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The LT3097 is a dual, positive and negative, high-performance,

low-dropout linear regulator featuring Analog Devices, Inc., ultralow

noise and ultra-high power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) architecture

for powering noise-sensitive applications. Each regulator

delivers up to 500 mA with a typical 260 mV/235 mV (positive/negative)

dropout voltage.

Operating quiescent current is nominally 2.2 mA/2.35 mA (positive/

negative) and drops to 0.3 μA/3 μA (positive/negative) in shutdown.

The LT3097 has a wide output voltage range (0 V to 15 V,

positive and 0 V to -19.5 V, negative) error amplifier that operates

in unity-gain and provides virtually constant output noise, PSRR,

bandwidth and load regulation, independent of the programmed

output voltage.

LT3097 is stable with a minimum 10 μF ceramic output capacitor for

each channel. Built-in protection includes internal current limit with

foldback and thermal limit with hysteresis. The positive regulator

also includes reverse-battery protection and reverse-current protection.

The LT3097 is available in a thermally enhanced, 22-lead 6

mm × 3 mm, Plastic dual-flat no-leads (DFN) package.
