Key Features
- Ultra-low 3 µA quiescent current extends battery life in always-on IoT sensors and wearable devices powered by coin cells or thin-film batteries
- 20 mA output current with 0.28 V typical dropout voltage supports low-power microcontrollers and sensor rails from 1.6 V to 20 V input
- Compact 8-pin SOT-23 package (3 mm x 3 mm) minimizes board area for space-constrained portable and wearable electronics
Applications
The LT3009ESC8-5#PBF is designed for battery-powered IoT nodes, medical wearables, and remote sensor modules where a stable 5 V rail at 20 mA must be maintained with minimal battery drain. Its 3 µA quiescent current makes it suitable for always-on supply circuits that remain active during deep-sleep states, such as real-time clock supplies and wireless module keep-alive rails. The wide 1.6 V to 20 V input range allows it to operate from primary lithium cells, 9 V batteries, and standard 12 V or 15 V regulated supplies in industrial monitoring equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the quiescent current of the LT3009ESC8-5#PBF and why does it matter for battery-powered designs?
The LT3009ESC8-5#PBF has an ultra-low quiescent current of only 3 µA, which means the regulator itself draws just 3 microamps when the load is idle. In a CR2032 coin cell design with 220 mAh capacity, this quiescent current alone would theoretically allow over 8 years of standby life, making it excellent for IoT sensors and medical wearables that spend most of their time in deep sleep.
What dropout voltage does the LT3009ESC8-5#PBF exhibit at full 20 mA load, and what minimum input voltage is required?
At full 20 mA output, the LT3009ESC8-5#PBF has a typical dropout voltage of 0.28 V and a maximum of 0.45 V. This means a minimum input of approximately 5.28 V to 5.45 V is needed to maintain the 5 V output in regulation, which is easily satisfied by a single 9 V battery or a 6 V supply rail in portable and industrial equipment.
How does the LT3009ESC8-5 compare to standard 20 mA LDOs with higher quiescent current for always-on application circuits?
Standard 20 mA LDOs in the SOT-23 package typically consume 50 µA to 100 µA quiescent current, which is 17 to 33 times more than the 3 µA of the LT3009ESC8-5. In an always-on 5 V sensor circuit powered from a 1000 mAh AA cell, replacing a 75 µA LDO with the LT3009ESC8-5 could extend standby battery life from approximately 556 days to over 38 years — a decisive advantage in remote field-deployed equipment.
