output is turned off and the divider current will be zero.
Curves of Adjust Pin Voltage vs Temperature and Adjust
Pin Bias Current vs Temperature appear in the Typical
Performance Characteristics. The reference voltage at the
adjust pin has a positive temperature coefficient of ap-
proximately 15ppm/ C. The adjust pin bias current has a
negative temperature coefficient. These effects will tend to
cancel each other.
The adjustable device is specified with the adjust pin tied
to the output pin. This sets the output voltage to 3.75V.
Specifications for output voltages greater than 3.75V will
be proportional to the ratio of the desired output voltage
to 3.75V; (V

Thermal Considerations
The power handling capability of the device will be limited
by the maximum rated junction temperature (125 C). The
power dissipated by the device will be made up of two
components:
1. Output current multiplied by the input/output voltage
2. Ground pin current multiplied by the input voltage:
(12V/3.75V)(– 20mV) = – 64mV

The ground pin current can be found by examining the
Ground Pin Current curves in the Typical Performance
Characteristics. Power dissipation will be equal to the sum
of the two components listed above.
The LT1521 series regulators have internal thermal limit-
ing designed to protect the device during overload condi-
tions. For continuous normal load conditions the maxi-
mum junction temperature rating of 125 C must not be
exceeded. It is important to give careful consideration to
all sources of thermal resistance from junction to ambient.
Additional heat sources mounted nearby must also be
considered.
For surface mount devices, heat sinking is accomplished
by using the heat spreading capabilities of the PC board
and its copper traces. Copper board stiffeners and plated
through-holes can also be used to spread the heat gener-
ated by power devices.
The following tables list thermal resistance for each pack-
age. Measured values of thermal resistance for several
different board sizes and copper areas are listed for each
package. All measurements were taken in still air on
3/32" FR-4 board with one ounce copper. All NC leads were
connected to the ground plane.
