DESCRIPTION The LTC 798/LTC798-./LTC798-/LTC798-./ LTC798- are micropower bandgap references that combine high accuracy and low drift with very low supply current and small package size. The combination of ultralow quiescent current and low dropout voltage of only mv (max) makes them ideal for battery-powered equipment. The output voltage is set by an external resistor divider for the adjustable LTC798. This series of references uses curvature compensation to obtain low temperature coefficient and trimmed thin-film resistors to achieve high output accuracy. These references can source up to ma and sink up to ma, making them ideal for precision regulator applications. They are stable without an output bypass capacitor, but are also stable with capacitance up to µf. This feature is important in critical applications where PC board space is a premium and fast settling is demanded. The LTC798 series references provided power dissipation advantages over shunt references. In addition to supply current, shunt references must also idle the entire load current to operate. The LTC798 series is available in the SO-8 package. TYPICAL APPLICATION.V Battery-Powered Reference LTC798-. Temperature Drift.7V TO.V.µF LTC798-.

Exposure to any Absolute Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device reliability and lifetime. Note : The LTC798 is guaranteed functional over the operating temperature range of C to C. Note : If the part is stored outside of the specified operating temperature range, the output may shift due to hysteresis. Note : ESD (Electostatic Discharge) sensitive device. Extensive use of ESD protection devices are used internal to the LTC798, however, high electrostatic discharge can damage or degrade the device. Use proper ESD handling precautions. Note : Peak-to-peak noise is measured with a single pole highpass filter at.hz and -pole lowpass filter at Hz. Note : Temperature coefficient is the change in output voltage divided by the nominal output voltage divided by the specified temperature range. Note 7: Load regulation is measured on a pulse basis from no load to the specified load current. Output changes due to die temperature change must be taken into account separately. Note 8: Dropout voltage is (V IN V ) when V falls to.% below its nominal value at V IN = V +.V. Note 9: Hysteresis in output voltage is created by package stress that differs depending on whether the IC was previously at a higher or lower temperature. Output voltage is always measured at C, but the IC is cycled hot or cold before successive measurements. Hysteresis is not normally a problem for operational temperature excursions where the instrument might be stored at high or low temperature.

To operate, shunt references require a resistor between the power supply and the output. This resistor must be chosen to supply the maximum current that is demanded by the circuit being regulated. When the circuit being controlled is not operating at this maximum current, the shunt reference must always sink this current, resulting in high power dissipation and short battery life. The LTC798 series low dropout references do not require a current setting resistor and can operate with any supply voltage from (V (NOMINAL ) +.V) to.v. When the circuitry being regulated does not demand current, the LTC798 series reduces its dissipation and battery life is extended. If the reference is not delivering load current it dissipates only.8µw when operating on a.7v supply for LTC798-., yet the same connection can deliver ma of load current when demanded. Output Bypass Capacitor The LTC798 series is designed to be stable with or without capacitive loads. With no capacitive load, the reference is ideal for fast settling applications, or where PC board space is at a premium. In applications with significant output loading changes, an output bypass capacitor of up to µf can be used to improve the output transient response. Figure shows the response of the reference to a ma to µa load step with a µf output capacitor. If more than µf of output capacitance is required, a resistor in series with the capacitor is recommended ma ma I ma I ma V mv/div V mv/div 798 Fa 798 Fb ms/div.ms/div Figure.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION to reduce the output ringing. Figure illustrates the use of a damping resistor for capacitive loads greater than µf. Figure shows the resistor and capacitor values required to achieve critical damping. Internal P-Channel Pass Transistor The LTC798 series features an internal P-channel MOSFET pass transistor. This provides several advantages over similar designs using a PNP bipolar pass transistor. LTC798 Series These references consume only µa of quiescent current under light and heavy loads as well as in dropout; whereas, PNP-based references waste considerable amounts of current when the pass transistor is saturated. In addition, the LTC798 series provides a lower dropout voltage (mv max) than PNP-based references. k.v TO.V.µF IN LTC798- GND V C >µf DAMPING RESISTOR <k RESISTOR VALUE (Ω) k 798 F Figure.
