LT3010EMS8E - 50mA, 80V LDO Linear Regulator | Analog Devices
Référence : LT3010EMS8E ✓ ActifLT3010EMS8E Présentation
A low-dropout (LDO) linear regulator is a type of voltage regulator that maintains a stable output voltage even when the input voltage approaches the output voltage. Within the broader power management IC hierarchy, LDOs sit alongside switching converters and supervisors; unlike switching regulators, they introduce no switching noise but dissipate the voltage difference as heat, making them ideal for noise-sensitive analog and RF loads. The LT3010 belongs to the micropower LDO subcategory defined by very low quiescent current (typically 30 µA at no load), enabling long battery life in always-on systems.
Key features include 50 mA continuous output current, 30 µA quiescent current, 60 V maximum adjustable output, 80 V maximum input, reverse-input and reverse-output protection, thermal limiting with hysteresis, and a shutdown pin that drops quiescent current to approximately 1 µA. The exposed-pad MSOP-8 package provides a low thermal resistance of approximately 40 °C/W (depending on PCB layout), supporting reliable operation at elevated ambient temperatures.
The regulator uses a PNP pass architecture with a precision bandgap reference. This topology enables the wide VIN range and low dropout while keeping ground pin current low and relatively constant over load, an improvement over older NPN regulator designs. A single external resistor divider sets the adjustable output, and the SHDN pin allows logic-level on/off control for power sequencing.
Typical applications include industrial 24 V sensor supplies, automotive battery-fed loads, factory automation modules, bias supplies for op-amps and references, and post-regulation following switching converters where clean, low-noise rails are required.
When designing with the LT3010, ensure sufficient PCB copper area under the exposed pad to manage thermal dissipation; at 50 mA and a large VIN–VOUT differential, power dissipation can exceed 2 W. Always include the recommended input/output capacitors and verify stability with the manufacturer-recommended ESR range.

Applications typiques
LT3010EMS8E convient pour 7 applications: Industrial 24V Sensor Power Supply, Automotive Battery-Fed Loads, Factory Automation PLC Modules, Bias Supply for Op-Amps and References, Battery-Powered Remote Monitoring, Post-Regulation After Switching Converter, Telecom and Networking Equipment.
Industrial 24V Sensor Power Supply
The LT3010EMS8E's 80 V maximum input and 1.275 V to 60 V adjustable output make it ideal for 24 V industrial sensor rails that must tolerate transients up to 80 V. Its 30 µA quiescent current preserves power budget in always-on field instruments. Placed after protection TVS and common-mode chokes, it post-regulates noisy 24 V to a clean 5 V or 12 V rail feeding analog front ends. Unlike switching regulators, the LDO adds no EMI that could couple into adjacent analog signal paths, making it suitable for precision transducer excitation.
Recommandé
Automotive Battery-Fed Loads
The 80 V input withstand capability allows the LT3010EMS8E to absorb load-dump transients in 12 V automotive systems, simplifying protection circuitry. With 50 mA output and 1.275 V reference, the device powers microcontrollers, sensors, and CAN transceivers directly from the battery rail. Its thermal shutdown and reverse-input protection add robustness for under-hood and chassis-mounted modules. Compared to wide-VIN switching converters, the LDO's lack of switching noise avoids coupling into AM radio bands or sensitive sensor signal chains.
Recommandé
Factory Automation PLC Modules
In PLC analog input modules powered from 24 V backplanes, the LT3010EMS8E provides a local post-regulated rail that rejects backplane noise. The wide input range tolerates voltage drops across long cable runs without losing regulation. With 50 mA available, the LDO can power several op-amp channels and a small ADC reference simultaneously. The exposed pad MSOP-EP package allows sufficient thermal dissipation at typical 24 V-to-5 V conversions, where power dissipation reaches 950 mW at 50 mA load.
Recommandé
Bias Supply for Op-Amps and References
Precision op-amps and voltage references require clean, low-noise supply rails to maintain DC accuracy and PSRR specifications. The LT3010EMS8E provides a stable 5 V or ±15 V dual-rail configuration that, while not as quiet as ultra-low-noise LDOs, is sufficient for general-purpose analog signal chains. Its wide VIN range allows it to follow a switching pre-regulator for efficiency while supplying a clean analog rail downstream - a common mixed-signal PCB topology.
Recommandé
Battery-Powered Remote Monitoring
With 30 µA quiescent current and 1 µA shutdown current, the LT3010EMS8E is well suited to remote, battery-powered monitoring nodes where sleep-mode power consumption dominates battery life. The 80 V VIN tolerance also enables operation from external solar or POE-derived supplies with wide voltage variation. Used as a post-regulator after a small switching converter, it provides the final clean rail to a microcontroller and sensor while the upstream switching stage handles bulk conversion for efficiency.
Recommandé
Post-Regulation After Switching Converter
In mixed-signal designs where a switching converter provides bulk power efficiency, the LT3010EMS8E serves as a downstream LDO to remove switching ripple. Placed between the switching node and noise-sensitive loads like ADCs or DACs, it eliminates high-frequency ripple while accepting the same wide VIN range. The wide VIN window means the same LDO can follow various switching pre-regulators (12 V, 24 V, 48 V) without re-design, simplifying multi-product platforms.
Recommandé
Telecom and Networking Equipment
In telecom racks with -48 V nominal supplies (positive-ground systems up to 80 V), the LT3010EMS8E provides local regulation for line cards and media converters. The 1 µA shutdown current enables power-cycling individual line cards for fault isolation or energy savings during off-peak hours. Combined with the exposed-pad thermal performance, it supports continuous operation in enclosed cabinets with limited airflow at elevated ambient temperatures typical of central offices.

Notes de conception
Estimated: At VIN = 24 V, VOUT = 5 V, and 50 mA load, the LT3010EMS8E dissipates approximately (24-5) × 0.05 = 0.95 W. With a typical MSOP-EP θJA around 40 °C/W on a 1 oz copper 1 sq inch pad, junction temperature rises about 38 °C above ambient. At 50 mA with VIN close to VOUT (e.g., 5.5 V to 5 V), dissipation is only 25 mW and no thermal concern exists. For higher dissipation scenarios, expand copper area under the exposed pad or reduce VIN-VOUT differential by adding a switching pre-regulator.
Per Analog Devices datasheet recommendations, place input and output ceramic capacitors as close as possible to the IC pins to minimize parasitic inductance. The exposed pad must be soldered to a PCB ground plane with thermal vias for heat dissipation. Use a star-ground topology where the LDO ground pin and load ground return to the same point to prevent ground-loop noise from coupling into the regulated output. A BYP capacitor of 10 nF to 100 nF on the bypass pin reduces output noise significantly.
Do not exceed 80 V on the IN pin or 60 V on the OUT pin. For adjustable versions, use 1% or better tolerance resistors in the feedback divider to maintain output accuracy; the ADJ pin bias current is negligible so resistor values up to 100 kΩ work without significant error. If the SHDN pin is unused, tie it to IN to ensure the regulator stays enabled. The OUT capacitor ESR must remain within the datasheet stability window - using ceramic capacitors with very low ESR may require a series resistor or different capacitor chemistry.
Route the ADJ feedback trace away from switching nodes and noisy traces to prevent coupling. Keep input and output capacitor ground returns short and direct to the exposed pad. For dual-rail designs using two LT3010s, place the input capacitors at a common node and route outputs separately to avoid cross-regulation issues. If using the BYP pin for noise reduction, place the bypass capacitor directly adjacent to the BYP pin with minimal trace length.
