Analog Devices Inc. LT3099 Ultra-High PSRR Negative Linear Regulators

Analog Devices LT3099 Ultra-High PSRR Negative Linear Regulators feature Analog Devices' ultra-low noise and ultra-high power-supply rejection ratio (PSRR) architecture for powering noise-sensitive applications. Designed as a precision current reference followed by a high-performance voltage buffer, the LT3099 can be easily paralleled to reduce noise further, increase output current, and spread heat on the PCB.

The device supplies 1A at a typical 350mV dropout voltage. The operating quiescent current is nominally 2.9mA and drops to 5μA in shutdown. The LT3099's wide output voltage range (0V to -19V) error amplifier operates at unity gain and provides virtually constant PSRR, output noise, bandwidth, and load regulation independent of the programmed output voltage. Additionally, the regulator features a bi-directional enable pin, programmable current limit, fast start-up capability, and programmable Power Good for indicating output voltage regulation. The regulator incorporates a tracking function to control an upstream supply to maintain a constant voltage across the LT3099 and minimize power dissipation.

Built-in protection includes an internal current limit with foldback and a thermal limit with hysteresis. The Analog Devices LT3099 is in a thermally enhanced 4mm × 3mm DFN package.
