This equation is empirically derived and partially
compensates for early voltage effects in the I
mirror. It is valid for an input voltage range from 0.6V
above the output to 10V above the output. It is valid for
output voltages up to 12V. The accuracy of this equation
for setting the resistor value is approximately ±1%. Unit
values are Amps, Volts, and Ohms.
In cases where the IN to OUT voltage exceeds 10V, fold-
back current limit will lower the internal current level limit,
possibly causing it to preempt the external programmable
current limit. See the Internal Current Limit vs V
graph in the Typical Performance Characteristics section.

FAULT Pin Operation
The FAULT pin is an open collector logic pin which asserts
during internal current limit, precision current limit, thermal
limit, or a minimum current fault. There is no internal
pull-up on the FAULT pin; an external pull-up resistor is
required. The FAULT pin provides drive for up to 100μA
of pull-down current. Off state logic may be as high as
45V, regardless of the input voltage used. When asserted,
the FAULT pin drive circuitry adds 50μA (nominal) of GND
pin current.
Depending on the I
and OUT capacitance, the FAULT pin may assert during
startup. Consideration should be given to masking the
FAULT signal during startup. The FAULT pin circuitry is
inactive (not asserted) during shutdown and when the
OUT pin is pulled above the IN pin.
Operation in Dropout
The LT3050 contains circuitry which prevents the PNP
output power device from saturating in dropout. This also
keeps the I
accurately, even in dropout. However, this anti-saturation
circuitry becomes less active at lower output currents, so
there is some degradation of current mirror function for
output currents less than 10mA.
