Key Features
- 0.8 µVRMS output noise from 10 Hz to 100 kHz — lowest in class for powering PLL VCOs, ADCs, and RF front-ends without spectral contamination
- 79 dB PSRR at 1 MHz and 80 dB at 100 kHz rejecting switching regulator ripple directly to the RF section
- 200 mA output current with 0.22 V typical dropout (0.3 V max) enabling high-efficiency operation from 3.3 V to 5 V rails
- Adjustable output from 0 V to 15 V via a single external resistor supporting a wide range of RF and analog supply rails
- Parallel-able architecture: multiple LT3042 units can share load current while further halving combined output noise per device added
Applications
LT3042MPMSE#PBF is the preferred LDO for RF synthesizers, VCO supply rails, and low-phase-noise oscillators where switching regulator ripple above 100 kHz would degrade spectral purity or phase noise floor below -150 dBc/Hz. Its parallel-able architecture allows two or more units to share load current in high-current RF PA bias networks while each device contributes its low 0.8 µVRMS noise in quadrature, reducing total noise even further. Precision DAC and ADC supply networks, test and measurement instruments, and medical imaging analog front-ends also benefit from its 0.003% load regulation and ultraclean output.

Frequently Asked Questions
How low is the output noise of LT3042MPMSE#PBF and why does it matter for RF applications?
LT3042MPMSE#PBF delivers just 0.8 µVRMS broadband output noise from 10 Hz to 100 kHz, which is critical for VCO and PLL supply rails where power supply noise directly adds to the oscillator's phase noise floor, degrading adjacent-channel interference rejection in cellular and Wi-Fi transceivers.
What PSRR does LT3042MPMSE#PBF achieve at switching regulator frequencies?
The device achieves 79 dB PSRR at 1 MHz and over 80 dB at 100 kHz, effectively attenuating a 10 mV switching ripple from a 1 MHz buck regulator down to below 35 µV at the output, making it practical to power sensitive RF ICs directly from noisy switch-mode supplies without additional LC filtering stages.
Can multiple LT3042MPMSE#PBF devices share current, and what is the noise benefit?
Yes, LT3042MPMSE#PBF units can be paralleled by connecting their outputs and programming resistors together; with 2 devices sharing a 400 mA load, combined output noise drops to 0.57 µVRMS (1/√2 of a single device's 0.8 µVRMS), enabling ultra-quiet power for high-dynamic-range ADCs sampling at 500 MHz and above.
What is the dropout voltage of LT3042MPMSE#PBF and how does it affect headroom design?
The typical dropout voltage is 0.22 V (0.3 V maximum at 200 mA), allowing a 3.3 V input rail to regulate a 3.0 V output with only 300 mV of headroom margin, which preserves power budget in 5G small cell radios and portable spectrum analyzers running from compact LiPo batteries.
In which package does LT3042MPMSE#PBF come and how does it compare to the E-pad MSOP package?
LT3042MPMSE#PBF uses a 10-lead MSOP package (PDSO-G10, approximately 3 x 3 mm) with an exposed thermal pad for improved heat dissipation at 200 mA, whereas the standard non-pad MSOP variant requires external copper pour for the same thermal performance, making the exposed-pad version preferable for compact RF module designs above 100 mA.
