LT1020ISW#PBF

LT1020ISW#PBF is a voltage regulator that operates in linear mode. It comes in a standard, 7-pin TO-220 package, with a low-drop voltage reference that provides output voltage precision. It is extremely suitable for applications such as voltage regulation on industrial equipment, precision power monitoring devices, post regulation on switching supplies, and automotive systems.

LT1020ISW#PBF works in three phases. In the first phase, it supplies a constant current to the regulator output, regardless of the input voltage. This ensures a constant voltage, keeping it away from over-voltage conditions. Next, it regulates the input voltage by effective current mirror control. Finally, the output voltage is regulated by a voltage droop provided by the internal current reference.

The LT1020ISW#PBF provides a number of advantages and features that make it suitable for a variety of applications. First, it has a wide input voltage range, working up to 60 volts, so it can be used for higher voltages than many other linear voltage regulators. It also operates over a wide temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. Another great advantage of the LT1020ISW#PBF is its low-drop voltage reference, providing output voltage precision over a wide temperature range.

The LT1020ISW#PBF is also efficient, with a low quiescent current of 2mA and a low-noise output signal. The device also has excellent reverse input protection and efficient noise rejection, making it suitable for applications in which signal noise needs to be kept low. Finally, the LT1020ISW#PBF has a safety timer, which ensures that the regulator is protected even in case of malfunctions, such as short-circuit or over-current events.

In summary, the LT1020ISW#PBF is an excellent linear voltage regulator, designed for use in applications such as voltage regulation on industrial equipment, precision power monitoring, post regulation on switching supplies, and automotive systems. It offers a wide input voltage range, operates over a wide temperature range, provides excellent precision and efficient noise rejection, and features a safety timer for additional protection.
