The LT ®3020 is a very low dropout voltage (VLDO TM) linear regulator that operates from input supplies down to 0.9V. This device supplies 100mA of output current with a typical dropout voltage of 150mV. The LT3020 is ideal for low input voltage to low output voltage applications, providing comparable electrical efficiency to that of a switching regulator. The LT3020 regulator optimizes stability and transient response with low ESR, ceramic output capacitors as small as 2.2µF. Other LT3020 features include 0% typical line regulation accuracy, 100mA of output current, and a 150mV typical dropout voltage.
The document describes the LT3020 family of Very Low Dropout (VLDO) linear regulators designed for battery-powered systems. These devices operate from input supplies as low as 0.9V and provide a typical output current of 100mA with a dropout voltage of 150mV.
