EDN Innovation Award Presented for Linear Technology Power Device
Linear Technology Corporation (Nasdaq:LLTC) today announced that EDN
magazine has selected Linear’s LT3080
three-terminal parallelable low dropout linear regulator as EDN’s
Innovation of the Year in the Power ICs category. The award was
presented at the annual EDN Innovation Awards ceremony this month
in San Jose, California to Linear Technology Vice President Engineering
and Chief Technical Officer Robert Dobkin and Design Engineer Todd Owen,
who developed the product.
"Every year the difficulty of technical
challenges increases, the pressures of schedule, cost, and energy
efficiency grow, and the resources available to design teams dwindle.
That makes the achievements of this year’s EDN
Innovation Award winners all the more impressive,”
stated Ron Wilson, executive director of EDN Worldwide. "Selected
by their peers in the design community for their outstanding results,
these innovators stand in the front rank of the best and brightest
electronics engineering has to offer.”
Robert Dobkin, CTO of Linear Technology, stated, "The
LT3080 solves two difficult problems for linear regulators: spreading
heat to eliminate heat sinks and increasing output current by simply
adding additional devices. The circuit architecture is completely new
and just as easy to use as older devices. I am proud to introduce this
product.”
The LT3080 is a 1.1A three-terminal linear regulator that can easily be
paralleled for heat spreading and higher output current, and is
adjustable to zero with a single resistor. This is a new architecture
for regulators and uses a current reference and voltage follower to
allow sharing between multiple regulators, enabling multiamp linear
regulation in all surface-mount systems without heat sinks.
The LT3080 has a wide input voltage capability of 1.2V to 40V, a dropout
voltage of only 300mV and millivolt regulation. The output voltage is
adjustable, spanning a wide range from 0V to 40V, and the on-chip
trimmed reference achieves high accuracy of ±1%.
The LT3080 really shines in generating multirail systems.
As a historical note, the LT3080 is a significant refinement of the
industry-standard three-terminal linear regulators first developed by
Robert Dobkin over 30 years ago. The new LT3080 device allows designers
more flexibility in designing the power portion of their systems most
simply and with optimal spreading of heat across the board.
Since the introduction of the LT3080 last year, there has been
significant customer interest across a wide range of system applications.
