ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life

of a device may be impaired.
Note 2: Absolute maximum input to output differential voltage can not be
achieved with all combinations of rated IN pin and OUT pin voltages. With
the IN pin at 20V, the OUT pin may not be pulled below 0V. The total
measured voltage from IN to OUT can not exceed ±20V.
Note 7: Dropout voltage is the minimum input to output voltage differential
needed to maintain regulation at a specified output current. In dropout, the
output voltage will be equal to: V – V
.

voltages.

Note 9: ADJ pin bias current flows into the ADJ pin.
Note 10: SHDN pin current flows into the SHDN pin.
Note 11: Reverse output current is tested with the IN pin grounded and the
OUT pin forced to the rated output voltage. This current flows into the OUT
pin and out the GND pin.
Note 12. For the LT1963, LT1963-1.5 and LT1963-1.8 dropout voltage will
be limited by the minimum input voltage specification under some output
voltage/load conditions.
Note 13. For the ST package, the input reverse leakage current increases
due to the additional reverse leakage current for the SHDN pin, which is
tied internally to the IN pin.
characterization and correlation with statistical process controls.
Note 4: The LT1963 (adjustable version) is tested and specified for these
conditions with the ADJ pin connected to the OUT pin.
Note 5: Operating conditions are limited by maximum junction
temperature. The regulated output voltage specification will not apply for
all possible combinations of input voltage and output current. When
operating at maximum input voltage, the output current range must be
limited. When operating at maximum output current, the input voltage
range must be limited.
Note 6: To satisfy requirements for minimum input voltage, the LT1963
(adjustable version) is tested and specified for these conditions with an
