Key Features
- 2 µVRMS output noise from 10 Hz to 100 kHz and 76 dB PSRR at 1 MHz make it ideal for powering VCOs, PLLs, and low-noise amplifiers
- 500 mA output current with 0.26 V typical dropout voltage at full load minimizes power loss in 5 V to 3.3 V conversion
- Adjustable output voltage via a single resistor from near 0 V to 15 V, supporting flexible power rail design
- Paralleling capability allows multiple LT3045 devices to share current with no extra components, scaling output current in 500 mA increments
Applications
The LT3045EMSE-1#PBF is the preferred power supply solution for RF synthesizers, VCO modules, and ADC reference circuits where supply noise directly degrades phase noise and SNR performance. Its sub-2 µVRMS output noise and high PSRR at RF frequencies allow it to post-regulate noisy switching converter outputs, isolating sensitive analog subsystems from switcher-induced ripple. The parallelable architecture enables scalable multi-ampere clean power rails in high-performance test equipment, wireless base station RF front ends, and precision instrumentation amplifiers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the output noise of LT3045EMSE-1#PBF, and why does it matter for VCO power supplies?
The LT3045EMSE-1#PBF produces only 2 µVRMS integrated output noise from 10 Hz to 100 kHz, which is 5 to 10 times lower than standard LDO regulators. For a VCO supply, this translates directly to improved phase noise: a 1 µV noise floor on the supply raises VCO phase noise by roughly 2 dBc/Hz at close-in offsets, so the LT3045's ultralow noise helps RF systems meet −110 dBc/Hz or better phase noise specifications.
How does LT3045EMSE-1#PBF achieve 500 mA output current, and can multiple devices be paralleled?
The LT3045 delivers 500 mA from a single device with a maximum dropout voltage of 0.45 V and typical 0.26 V at full load. Multiple LT3045 devices can be directly paralleled by connecting their outputs and ILIM pins together, with each device naturally sharing current equally due to the current-mode architecture—no ballast resistors or additional control circuitry are needed, allowing straightforward scaling to 1 A, 1.5 A, or higher in 500 mA steps.
What is the PSRR of LT3045EMSE-1#PBF at switching regulator frequencies, and can it post-regulate a switcher?
The LT3045EMSE-1#PBF provides 76 dB PSRR at 1 MHz and above 70 dB PSRR across 10 kHz to 1 MHz, making it highly effective as a post-regulator after a 300 kHz to 1 MHz switching converter. A 100 mVpp switcher ripple at 500 kHz is attenuated to approximately 5 µVpp at the LT3045 output, effectively eliminating visible switching artifacts on sensitive PLO and ADC reference supply rails.
How is the output voltage of LT3045EMSE-1#PBF set, and what voltage range is achievable?
Output voltage is programmed by a single resistor connected between the SET pin and VOUT, where VOUT equals ISET × RSET with ISET fixed internally at 50 µA. The output can be adjusted from near 0 V to 15 V by selecting resistor values from 0 Ω to 300 kΩ, giving designers continuous voltage adjustment across the full range without needing multiple fixed-voltage regulator SKUs.
Under what conditions does LT3045EMSE-1#PBF thermally limit, and how should the MSOP-EP package be cooled?
The LT3045EMSE-1#PBF in the 12-lead MSOP with exposed pad (EP) has a junction-to-board thermal resistance of approximately 37°C/W when the EP is soldered to a 2-layer board copper pour. At 500 mA output with a 5 V input and 3.3 V output (1.7 V dropout × 0.5 A = 850 mW dissipation), junction temperature rises approximately 31°C above the PCB copper, requiring a PCB copper area of at least 1 cm² for continuous operation at 85°C ambient.
