PRODUCT OVERVIEW

What Is the LT1123CST#PBF?

LT1123CST#PBF is a 3-pin bipolar device from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) designed to be used in conjunction with a discrete PNP power transistor to form an inexpensive low dropout regulator.[reference:0] The device consists of a trimmed bandgap reference, error amplifier, and a driver circuit capable of sinking up to 125mA from the base of the external PNP pass transistor.[reference:1][reference:2]

The LT1123CST#PBF is designed to provide a fixed output voltage of 5V, trimmed to ±1% accuracy.[reference:3][reference:4] The drive pin of the device can pull down to 2V at 125mA (1.4V at 10mA), allowing a resistor to be used to reduce the base drive available to the PNP and minimize the power dissipation in the LT1123.[reference:5] Total quiescent current for the LT1123 is only 700µA.[reference:6] The drive current is folded back as the feedback pin approaches ground to further limit the available drive current under short-circuit conditions.[reference:7]

With an external PNP transistor such as the MJE1123, the LT1123CST#PBF can deliver output currents up to 4A at a dropout voltage of less than 0.75V.[reference:8][reference:9] The device is available in a 3-lead SOT-223 (ST) package and is rated for operation from 0°C to +125°C.[reference:10][reference:11]

Low Dropout Regulator Driver Designed with external PNP pass transistor for inexpensive, high-current linear regulation up to 4A.
Fixed 5V Output Trimmed bandgap reference provides ±1% accurate 5V output voltage.
Low Quiescent Current Only 700µA quiescent current with 125mA base drive capability.

DESIGN REFERENCE

Circuit Considerations for LT1123CST#PBF

External Pass Transistor Configuration

The LT1123CST#PBF is designed to work with an external PNP power transistor:

  • External PNP Transistor: A discrete PNP power transistor such as the MJE1123 is used as the pass element[reference:18]
  • Base Drive: The DRIVE pin sinks up to 125mA from the base of the external PNP transistor[reference:19]
  • Feedback: The FB pin senses the output voltage and provides regulation feedback[reference:20]
  • Drive Resistor: A resistor can be used between DRIVE and the PNP base to reduce power dissipation in the LT1123[reference:21]
  • Output Capacitor: A 10µF capacitor is required for stability[reference:22]

PCB and Power-Supply Guidance

Regulator driver performance depends on layout, bypassing, and component selection:

  • Input Voltage: The drive pin (DRIVE) can handle up to 30V; the feedback pin (FB) can also handle up to 30V[reference:23]
  • Output Capacitor: A 10µF output capacitor is required for stability; larger values increase stability[reference:24]
  • Input Capacitor: A 10µF capacitor is required if the device is more than 6" from the main filter capacitor[reference:25]
  • Thermal Management: θJA for the SOT-223 package is approximately 20°C/W with the tab soldered[reference:26]
  • External PNP Selection: Choose a PNP transistor with adequate current and power ratings for the application
  • Verify the recommended PCB footprint from the official datasheet before production

REPLACEMENT GUIDANCE

Selecting an Alternative for LT1123CST#PBF

A replacement for the LT1123CST#PBF should not be selected only by product category. The electrical characteristics, package, and pin configuration must be evaluated against the actual circuit requirements.

Output voltage (5V fixed)
Output current capability (up to 4A with external PNP)
Base drive capability (125mA)
Quiescent current (700µA)
Package (3-lead SOT-223)
Operating temperature (0°C to 125°C)
Dropout voltage (with external PNP)
RoHS compliance (#PBF suffix)

Family alternatives: LT1123CZ#PBF (TO-92 through-hole package, same electrical specs), LT1123CST#TRPBF (SOT-223, tape and reel packaging), LT1123CZ#TRPBF (TO-92, tape and reel). The LT1123 is a unique low dropout regulator driver; for integrated LDO solutions with similar performance, consider the LT1086 or LT1587 series. Select based on package, mounting type, and packaging needs.
