3150 drives a low cost external N-channel MOSFET
as a source follower to produce a fast transient response,
very low dropout voltage linear regulator. Selection of the

applications.
The LT3150 includes a fixed frequency boost regulator
that generates gate drive for the N-channel MOSFET. The
internally compensated current mode PWM architecture
combined with the 1.4MHz switching frequency permits
the use of tiny, low cost capacitors and inductors.
The LT3150鈥檚 transient load performance is optimized
with ceramic output capacitors. A precision 1.21V refer-
ence accommodates low voltage supplies.
Protection includes a high side current limit amplifier that
activates a fault timer circuit. A multifunction shutdown
pin provides either current limit time-out with latchoff,
overvoltage protection or thermal shutdown. Independent
shutdown control of the boost converter provides on/off
and sequencing control of the LDO output voltage.
