APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

wires. The most effective way to reduce overall inductance

is to place the forward and return-current conductors (the

wire for the input and the wire for the return ground) in

very close proximity. Two 18-AWG wires separated by

0.05 inch reduce the overall self inductance to about one-

fourth of a single isolated wire. If the LT3071 is powered

by a battery mounted in close proximity with ground and

power planes on the same circuit board, a 47µF input

capacitor is sufficient for stability. However, if the LT3071

is powered by a distant supply, use a low ESR, large value

input capacitor on the order of 330µF. As power supply

output impedance varies, the minimum input capacitance

needed for application stability also varies.

Bias Pin Capacitance Requirements

The BIAS pin supplies current to most of the internal

control circuitry and the output stage driving the pass

transistor. The LT3071 requires a minimum 2.2µF

bypass capacitor for stability and proper operation. To

ensure proper operation, the BIAS voltage must sat-

isfy the following conditions: 2.2V ≤ VBIAS ≤ 3.6V and

VBIAS ≥ (1.25 • VOUT + 1V). For VOUT ≤ 0.95V, the

minimum BIAS voltage is limited to 2.2V.

Load Regulation

The LT3071 provides a Kelvin sense pin for VOUT, allowing

the application to correct for parasitic package and PCB

I-R drops. However, LTC recommends that the SENSE pin

terminate in close proximity to the LT3071’s OUT pins.

This minimizes parasitic inductance and optimizes regula-

tion. The LT3071 handles moderate levels of output line

impedance, but excessive impedance between VOUT and

COUT causes excessive phase shift in the feedback loop

and adversely affects stability.

Figure 1 in the Pin Functions section illustrates the Kelvin-

sense connection method that eliminates voltage drops

duetoPCBtraceresistance.However,notethatthevoltage

drop across the external PCB traces adds to the dropout

voltage of the regulator. The SENSE pin input bias current

depends on the selected output voltage. SENSE pin input

current varies from 50µA typically at VOUT = 0.8V to 300µA

typically at VOUT = 1.8V.

Short-Circuit and Overload Recovery

Like many IC power regulators, the LT3071 has safe op-

erating area (SOA) protection. The safe area protection

decreasescurrentlimitasinput-to-outputvoltageincreases

and keeps the power transistor inside a safe operating

region for all values of input-to-output voltage up to the

absolute maximum voltage rating. VBIAS must be above

the UVLO threshold for any function. The LT3071 has a

precision current limit specified at ±20% that is active if

VBIAS is above UVLO.

Under conditions of maximum ILOAD and maximum

VIN-VOUT the device’s power dissipation peaks at about

3W. If ambient temperature is high enough, die junction

temperature will exceed the 125°C maximum operating

temperature. If this occurs, the LT3071 relies on two

additional thermal safety features. At about 145°C, the

PWRGD output pulls low providing an early warning of an

impendingthermalshutdowncondition.At165°Ctypically,

the LT3071’s thermal shutdown engages and the output is

shut down until the IC temperature falls below the thermal

hysteresislimit.TheSOAprotectiondecreasescurrentlimit

as the IN-to-OUT voltage increases and keeps the power

dissipation at safe levels for all values of input-to-output

voltage. The LT3071 provides some output current at all

values of input-to-output voltage up to the absolute maxi-

mum voltage rating. See the Current Limit vs VIN curve in

the Typical Performance Characteristics.

Duringstart-up,aftertheBIASvoltagehascleareditsUVLO

threshold and VIN is increasing, output voltage increases

at the rate of current limit charging COUT.

With a high input voltage, a problem can occur where the

removal of an output short will not allow the output voltage

to recover. Other regulators with current limit foldback

also exhibit this phenomenon, so it is not unique to the

LT3071. The load line for such a load may intersect the

output current curve at two points: normal operation and

the SOA restricted load current settings. A common situ-

ation is immediately after the removal of a short circuit,

but with a static load ≥ 1A. In this situation, removal of the

load or reduction of IOUT to <1A will clear this condition

and allow VOUT to return to normal regulation.
