DESCRIPTION
LT3063
45V VIN, Micropower,
Low Noise, 200mA LDO
with Output Discharge
Demonstration circuit 2177A-C features the LT
®
3063, a
micropower, low noise and low dropout voltage linear
regulator with output discharge. The input voltage ranges
from 2.1V to 45V and the maximum output current is
200mA. A resistor divider determines the output voltage,
and a jumper adjusts the divider to set the output voltage
to either 1.2V, 1.5V, 1.8V, 2V, 2.5V, 3.3V, 5V or a voltage
that is user-programmed but requires the installation of
a resistor. The output uses a 10µF ceramic capacitor and
the internal reference is bypassed with a 10nF capacitor
to reduce output noise and program the soft-start. There
is also a 10nF feedforward capacitor to improve load
transient response and decrease noise at higher output
voltages. The position of the VOUTEN jumper either pulls
up the SHDN pin to the input supply through a 100k re-
sistor, shorts SHDN to ground or floats the SHDN pin so
it can be driven directly by a signal applied to the SHDN
terminal. The input supply to the LT3063 is bypassed by a
2.2µF ceramic capacitor and there is also a 50V tantalum
polymer capacitor on the input to dampen ringing that
may occur when the input is hot-plugged using long leads.
The LT3063 saves energy by being micropower and low
dropout. The LT3063 has excellent regulation and fast
response to load transients and also tolerates wide input
voltage variations and discharges its output in a controlled
manner as required by some image sensor loads.
The LT3063 targets systems with inputs that are battery-
powered or have multiple sources, especially those with
sensitive loads. DC2177A-C features the LT3063 in the
8-lead 2mm ×3mm DFN package. The LT3063 data sheet
must be read in conjunction with this demo manual to
properly use or modify demo circuit DC2177A-C.

DEMO MANUAL DC2177A-C
QUICK START PROCEDURE
To use DC2177A-C to evaluate the performance of the
LT3063, refer to Figure 1 for the proper measurement
equipment setup and follow the procedure below:
1. With the input supply and load off and turned down,
make all connections according to Figure 1. Make sure
the jumper to set VOUT is in the proper position for the
desired output voltage and the VOUTEN jumper is in
the ON position.
2. Turn on the input supplies and increase them to the
desired input voltages.
Note When Setting The Input Voltage: An input voltage
that is too close to the programmed output voltage (too
low) may cause dropout operation and a loss of output
voltage regulation. Also, an input voltage that is too high
above the output may increase power dissipation to an
unacceptable level.
3. Increase the load to the desired output current. Verify
that the VOUT voltage is as programmed by the jumper.
Note: If the output voltage is low, temporarily disconnect
the load to make sure that it is not set too high.
4. Oncetheproperoutputvoltageisestablished,adjustthe
input voltage and load within the operating range and
observe the output voltage regulation, low quiescent
current, shutdown, output discharge operation and
other parameters.
