series introduction

# LT3080EDD#PBF Product Series Introduction

## 1. Overview
The LT3080EDD#PBF belongs to a highly versatile and reliable product series of linear voltage regulators. Linear regulators are crucial components in electronic circuits, responsible for providing a stable output voltage regardless of variations in the input voltage or load current. This particular series is designed and manufactured by Analog Devices, a well - known leader in the semiconductor industry, and is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of a wide range of applications.

## 2. Key Features

### 2.1 Adjustable Output Voltage
One of the standout features of the LT3080EDD#PBF is its adjustable output voltage. It can be set to a specific value within a wide range, typically from 0V to the maximum input voltage minus a small dropout voltage. This flexibility allows designers to tailor the regulator to the specific voltage requirements of their circuits, whether it's for powering low - voltage microcontrollers, high - voltage analog components, or any other electronic device.

### 2.2 Low Dropout Voltage
The regulator has a low dropout voltage, which means it can maintain a stable output voltage even when the difference between the input voltage and the desired output voltage is relatively small. This is particularly important in battery - powered applications, where the battery voltage gradually decreases over time. With a low dropout voltage, the LT3080EDD#PBF can continue to provide a stable output voltage for a longer period, maximizing the battery's useful life.

### 2.3 High Output Current Capability
It is capable of delivering a relatively high output current. This makes it suitable for powering components that require a significant amount of current, such as power - hungry integrated circuits, motors, or high - brightness LEDs. The ability to handle high currents without sacrificing stability or efficiency is a key advantage in many industrial and consumer electronics applications.

### 2.4 Excellent Line and Load Regulation
The LT3080EDD#PBF offers excellent line and load regulation. Line regulation refers to the ability of the regulator to maintain a constant output voltage when the input voltage changes. Load regulation, on the other hand, is the regulator's ability to keep the output voltage stable as the load current varies. With tight regulation specifications, this product series ensures that the output voltage remains within a very narrow tolerance range, providing a clean and stable power supply for sensitive electronic components.

### 2.5 Thermal Protection
To prevent damage due to overheating, the LT3080EDD#PBF is equipped with thermal protection. If the temperature of the regulator exceeds a certain threshold, the thermal protection circuit will automatically reduce the output current or shut down the regulator to prevent it from overheating. This feature enhances the reliability and longevity of the regulator, especially in applications where the device may be subjected to high ambient temperatures or heavy loads.

## 3. Package and Pinout
The LT3080EDD#PBF comes in a specific package, which is designed to provide good thermal performance and ease of mounting on printed circuit boards (PCBs). The package is typically a surface - mount package, which is suitable for automated assembly processes.

The pinout of the LT3080EDD#PBF is carefully designed to facilitate easy connection to the input voltage source, output load, and any external components that may be required for proper operation. The pins are clearly labeled and arranged in a logical manner, making it straightforward for designers to integrate the regulator into their circuits.

## 4. Applications

### 4.1 Industrial Electronics
In industrial settings, the LT3080EDD#PBF can be used to power various control systems, sensors, and actuators. Its high output current capability and excellent regulation make it suitable for driving motors and other high - power
