APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
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 accelerometer or micro-
phone works. For a ceramic capacitor the stress can be
induced by vibrations in the system or thermal transients.
The resulting voltages produced can cause appreciable
amounts of noise, especially when a ceramic capacitor is
used for noise bypassing. A ceramic capacitor produced
Figure 5’s trace in response to light tapping from a pencil.
Similar vibration induced behavior can masquerade as
increased output voltage noise.
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. GND pin current multiplied by the input voltage:

The ground pin current can be found by examining the
GND Pin Current curves in the Typical Performance Char-
acteristics section. Power dissipation will be equal to the
sum of the two components listed above.
The LT1761 series regulators have internal thermal limiting
designed to protect the device during overload conditions.
For continuous normal conditions, the maximum 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 table lists thermal resistance for several
different board sizes and copper areas. All measurements
were taken in still air on 3/32" FR-4 board with one ounce
copper.
