Instructions for Use:

1. Input Voltage (VIN):

   • Ensure the input voltage is within the range of 2.7V to 40V.
   • Avoid exceeding the maximum input voltage to prevent damage to the device.

2. Output Voltage (VOUT):

   • The LT1129IST-5.0 provides a fixed output voltage of 5.0V.
   • No external resistors are needed to set the output voltage.

3. Output Current (IOUT):

   • The device can supply up to 1.0A of continuous current.
   • Ensure that the load does not exceed this limit to avoid overheating or damage.

4. Quiescent Current (IQ):

   • The quiescent current is typically 3.0mA at 12V input and 5V output.
   • This current is drawn by the regulator itself and is independent of the load.

5. Dropout Voltage (VDROPOUT):

   • The dropout voltage is typically 0.5V when the output current is 1.0A and the input voltage is 5.5V.
   • Ensure that the input voltage is at least 0.5V higher than the output voltage to maintain regulation.

6. Load Regulation:

   • The load regulation is typically 0.1% over the load range from 0mA to 1.0A.
   • This indicates the stability of the output voltage with varying loads.

7. Line Regulation:

   • The line regulation is typically 0.1% over the input voltage range from 4.5V to 40V.
   • This indicates the stability of the output voltage with varying input voltages.

8. Thermal Shutdown (TSD):

   • The device will shut down if the junction temperature exceeds 160°C.
   • Ensure adequate heat sinking to prevent thermal shutdown.

9. Operating Temperature (TOPR):

   • The operating temperature range is from -40°C to 125°C.
   • Ensure that the device operates within this range to avoid performance degradation or failure.

10. Storage Temperature (TSTG):

    • The storage temperature range is from -65°C to 150°C.
    • Store the device in a dry environment within this temperature range to prevent damage.

Additional Notes:

• Capacitors:

  • Use appropriate input and output capacitors to ensure stability and reduce ripple.
  • Recommended values are typically 1μF to 10μF ceramic capacitors for both input and output.

• PCB Layout:

  • Ensure proper PCB layout to minimize noise and improve thermal performance.
  • Place the input and output capacitors as close as possible to the regulator.

• Heat Sinking:

  • For high current applications, consider using a heatsink to dissipate heat effectively.
  • The thermal resistance (θJA) of the device should be considered in the design.

By following these guidelines, you can ensure reliable operation of the LT1129IST-5.0 in your application.
