To add to its growing family of voltage regulator solutions, Linear Technology recently announced the LT3061, a high-voltage, low-noise, low-dropout voltage linear regulator with active output discharge. The device can deliver up to 100 mA of continuous output current with a 250-mV dropout voltage at full load. The LT3061 features an NMOS pull-down that discharges the output when SHDN or IN is driven low. This rapid output discharge is useful for applications requiring power conditioning on both start-up and shutdown (e.g., high-end imaging sensors).

A single external capacitor provides programmable low noise reference performance and output soft-start functionality. The LT3061 has a quiescent current of 45 μA and provides fast transient response with a minimum 3.3-μF output capacitor. In shutdown, the quiescent current is less than 3 μA and the reference soft-start capacitor is reset.
Its main features include:
- Wide 1.6 V to 45 V input voltage range.
- Adjustable output voltages from 0.6 V to 19 V.
- Ultralow noise operation of 30 µVRMS across a 10 Hz to 100 kHz bandwidth.
- Low quiescent current of 45 µA (operating) and < 2 µA (in shutdown).
The LT3061 is available as an adjustable device with an output voltage range from the 600-mV reference up to 19 V. The chip is supplied in a thermally enhanced eight-lead 2 mm × 3 mm DFN and MSOP outline. For more information visit www.linear.com
