APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
available in higher values. Care still must be exercised when
using X5R and X7R capacitors; the X5R and X7R codes
only specify operating temperature range and maximum
capacitance change over temperature. Capacitance change
due to DC bias with X5R and X7R capacitors is better than
Y5V and Z5U capacitors, but can still be signifi cant enough
to drop capacitor values below appropriate levels. Capaci-
tor DC bias characteristics tend to improve as component
case size increases, but expected capacitance at operating
voltage should be verifi ed.
Voltage and temperature coeffi cients are not the only
sources of problems. Some ceramic capacitors have a
piezoelectric response. A piezoelectric device generates
voltage across its terminals due to mechanical stress,
similar to the way a piezoelectric microphone works. For a

Paralleling Devices
LT3080’s may be paralleled to obtain higher output current.
The SET pins are tied together and the IN pins are tied
together. This is the same whether it’s in three terminal
mode or has separate input supplies. The outputs are
connected in common using a small piece of PC trace
as a ballast resistor to equalize the currents. PC trace
resistance in milliohms/inch is shown in Table 1. Only a
tiny area is needed for ballasting.
Table 1. PC Board Trace Resistance
Trace resistance is measured in mOhms/in
The worse case offset between the set pin and the output
of only ± 2 millivolts allows very small ballast resistors
to be used. As shown in Figure 4, the two devices have
a small 10 milliohm ballast resistor, which at full output
current gives better than 80 percent equalized sharing
of the current. The external resistance of 10 milliohms
