Key Features
- 0.8 µVRMS output noise (10 Hz to 100 kHz) for ultra-quiet RF and ADC supply rails
- Greater than 76 dB PSRR at 1 MHz isolating RF circuits from switcher-induced noise
- 200 mA output current with only 0.22 V typical dropout voltage
- Parallel-able architecture allowing multiple LT3042 units to share current for higher output ratings
- 0.003% load regulation maintaining precise voltage under dynamic current draw
Applications
The LT3042EDD#TRPBF is the preferred post-regulator for PLL VCO supply rails, ADC reference supplies, and RF LNA bias networks where switching regulator noise would degrade phase noise, SNR, or receiver sensitivity. Its ability to be connected in parallel allows designers to scale output current in 200 mA increments, making it equally suitable for high-current RF power amplifier bias as for ultra-sensitive low-noise amplifier supplies. Precision instrumentation, medical imaging front-ends, and spectrum analyzer reference sections rely on its combination of sub-microvolt noise floor and high PSRR to isolate measurement circuitry from noisy digital power domains.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the output noise specification of LT3042EDD#TRPBF and why does it matter for RF circuits?
The LT3042EDD#TRPBF achieves 0.8 µVRMS integrated output noise from 10 Hz to 100 kHz and approximately 4 µVRMS from 10 Hz to 1 MHz. For a PLL VCO supply, power supply noise directly modulates the oscillator frequency, contributing to phase noise; at 0.8 µVRMS supply noise, the phase noise contribution from the regulator is below -160 dBc/Hz in most VCO designs, effectively eliminating the supply rail as a phase noise source.
What is the PSRR of LT3042EDD#TRPBF at 1 MHz, and how does it compare to standard LDO regulators?
The LT3042EDD#TRPBF delivers greater than 76 dB PSRR at 1 MHz, which means switching noise at that frequency is attenuated by a factor of over 6,000 from input to output. Standard LDO regulators typically fall below 20 dB PSRR at 1 MHz because their error amplifier bandwidth does not extend that high. The LT3042's high-frequency PSRR is achieved through a unique current-source based architecture rather than conventional error-amplifier topology.
Can multiple LT3042EDD#TRPBF devices be connected in parallel to increase output current beyond 200 mA?
Yes. The LT3042EDD#TRPBF is specifically designed for paralleling by using an internal 100 µA current source reference that allows matched output impedance across units. Two devices in parallel deliver 400 mA, three deliver 600 mA, and so on, with current sharing accuracy of better than 5% between units at the same temperature. This is documented in the datasheet as the primary method to scale current for RF PA bias or high-current precision reference applications.
What is the dropout voltage of LT3042EDD#TRPBF, and how does this affect headroom planning in 3.3 V output designs?
The typical dropout voltage of LT3042EDD#TRPBF is 0.22 V at 200 mA, with a maximum of 0.3 V. For a 3.3 V regulated output, the input supply needs to be only 3.52 V to 3.6 V minimum, allowing the regulator to be powered directly from a 3.7 V lithium-ion cell or a 5 V bus without wasting significant headroom. This low dropout keeps efficiency above 90% in battery-to-regulated-rail applications.
How is the output voltage of LT3042EDD#TRPBF set, and what range is adjustable?
The output voltage is set by a single resistor connected from the SET pin to ground. The internal 100 µA reference current flows through this resistor to establish VOUT; a 33.2 kΩ resistor gives 3.32 V output. The output is continuously adjustable from 0 V up to 20 V minus the input supply limit, providing design flexibility for VCO supplies at 2.5 V, 5 V, or 12 V bias rails in a single standard footprint without changing the IC.
