Linear Technology Corporation announces the LTC3035, a 300 mA very low dropout (VLDO™) linear regulator with input voltage capability down to 1.7 V. Featuring a low internal reference voltage with corresponding adjustable output voltage operation from 0.4 to 3.6 V, the LTC3035 also maintains a low dropout voltage of 45 mV at full load current. To allow operation at low input voltages, the LTC3035 includes an integrated charge pump converter that provides the necessary headroom for the internal LDO circuitry. This input voltage capability enables performance in applications ranging from Li-Ion or 2xAA alkaline cell to low input to low output voltage conversion systems. The LTC3035’s tight output voltage ۬% accuracy, low quiescent and shutdown currents of 100 µA and 1 µA, respectively, combined with fast transient response and small footprint with few external components, make the device appropriate for battery-powered handheld devices such as Bluetooth-enabled devices, cellular phones, media players, handheld medical and industrial instruments. The LTC3035 regulator optimizes stability and transient response with low-ESR, ceramic output capacitors as small as 1 µF.
