Linear Technology has introduced a 45V LDO that indicates over-load and low-load (open circuit), die temperature and allows an associated microcontroller to calculate power dissipation in both the regulator and the load. Called LT3055, the basic specs are 2-45V in, 0.6-40V at up to 500mA out, and 350mV drop-out at max current. “A single capacitor at the REF/BYP pin provides ...
