Product details
Overview
CAT3200H2-T3 from onsemi is a low-noise regulated charge pump DC-DC converter delivering fixed 5 V or adjustable output (1.27 V feedback reference) with up to 100 mA load current, 2 MHz switching frequency, and shutdown current <1 µA. It operates from 2.2 V to 4.5 V input, supports ceramic flying/output capacitors as small as 1 µF, and integrates foldback current limiting and thermal shutdown for battery-powered portable devices.
For engineers reviewing the CAT3200H2-T3 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include regulated output stability under load (±20 mV load regulation), low 1.7 mA typical quiescent current, UDFN-8 2 mm × 2 mm package footprint, and compatibility with 1 µF ceramic capacitors for space-constrained handheld designs.
Technical Context
The CAT3200H2-T3 employs a non-overlapping 2-phase switched-capacitor topology to double the input voltage, with internal feedback sensing at the FB pin (1.27 V reference) enabling precise output regulation. Its constant-frequency 2 MHz oscillator ensures predictable EMI behavior and allows use of compact 1 µF ceramic capacitors without inductors.
Operation includes slew-rate-controlled soft-start (<0.5 ms turn-on time), reverse leakage protection (<30 µA from VOUT in shutdown), and dual protection: foldback current limiting (~80 mA short-circuit current) and thermal shutdown at 160 °C with 20 °C hysteresis. The device separates power ground (PGND) and signal ground (SGND) to minimize noise coupling into the feedback path.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
The CAT3200H2-T3 is housed in an 8-pad UDFN package measuring 2 mm × 2 mm with 0.5 mm pitch (Case 517AW), featuring an exposed thermal pad connected to PGND on PCB for enhanced thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - CPOS | Flying capacitor positive terminal | Connects to high-side plate of 1 µF ceramic flying capacitor; must avoid polarized types due to voltage reversal during startup |
| 2 - VIN | Main input power supply | Accepts 2.2–4.5 V; requires local 1 µF low-ESR ceramic bypass to suppress switching noise injection |
| 3 - CNEG | Flying capacitor negative terminal | Completes flying capacitor loop; paired with CPOS to enable charge-pump voltage doubling |
| 4 - PGND | Power ground return | Carries high-frequency switching currents; must be star-connected to CIN/CPOS/CNEG grounds to limit noise |
| 5 - SGND | Signal ground reference | Reference for FB, SHDN, and internal error amplifier; isolated from PGND to prevent ground bounce in feedback path |
| 6 - SHDN | Active-low shutdown control | CMOS input (VIH = 1.3 V, VIL = 0.4 V); no internal pull-down-must be driven to valid logic level |
| 7 - FB | Feedback voltage sense | 1.27 V reference input; connects to resistor divider for adjustable output or to GND for fixed 5 V mode |
| 8 - VOUT | Regulated output voltage | Delivers up to 100 mA; requires local 1 µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor to minimize ripple and transient response |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Constant 2 MHz switching | Enables consistent EMI profile and eliminates need for large LC filters in space-limited layouts |
| Slew-rate controlled soft-start | Limits inrush current to protect input source and downstream capacitors during power-up |
| Separate PGND/SGND pins | Reduces ground noise coupling into feedback and shutdown logic, improving regulation accuracy |
| Foldback current limiting | Reduces output current progressively during overload (to ~80 mA short-circuit), lowering thermal stress |
| Reverse leakage protection | Restricts backflow from VOUT to VIN in shutdown mode (<30 µA), preserving battery charge |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar charge pump DC-DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX17222ETA+ | 1.2 V to 5.5 V input; 500 mA peak; integrated LDO post-regulator; 1.13 MHz switching | Higher current, lower noise, but larger 2 mm × 2 mm TDFN package with different pinout | Preferred when >100 mA or ultra-low noise required; not pin-compatible |
| TPS60403DBVR | Fixed 3.3 V output only; 60 mA max; 500 kHz switching; requires 10 µF flying cap | Limited to low-current 3.3 V rails; slower switching increases capacitor size and EMI risk | Lower-cost option for simple 3.3 V bias rails where 100 mA and 5 V are unnecessary |
Compared with MAX17222ETA+ and TPS60403DBVR, the CAT3200H2-T3 uniquely balances 100 mA capability, 5 V fixed/adjustable flexibility, 2 MHz operation for miniaturization, and sub-1 µA shutdown-making it optimal for compact, battery-sensitive 5 V boost applications where pin compatibility with UDFN-8 layout is required.

FAQ
What output voltage options does the CAT3200H2-T3 support?
The CAT3200H2-T3 supports both fixed 5 V output (by grounding the FB pin) and adjustable output (via external resistor divider referenced to its 1.27 V internal feedback voltage). When configured for adjustable mode, output voltages from approximately 2.5 V to 5 V are achievable depending on input voltage and resistor values, with the constraint that VOUT ≤ 2 × VIN.
Can the CAT3200H2-T3 operate from a 2.5 V input to deliver 3.3 V?
Yes, the CAT3200H2-T3 can operate from a 2.5 V input to deliver 3.3 V using the adjustable output configuration. As confirmed in the datasheet's Figure 14 and Table 4, it maintains regulation across 2.2 V–3.0 V input for 3.3 V output, delivering up to 100 mA with typical efficiency of 80% at 50 mA load.
What is the recommended flying capacitor value for the CAT3200H2-T3?
The CAT3200H2-T3 datasheet specifies a 1 µF ceramic capacitor for the flying capacitor (CFLY), connected between CPOS and CNEG pins. X5R or X7R dielectrics are recommended to maintain capacitance across temperature and bias; polarized types (tantalum/aluminum) must be avoided due to potential voltage reversal during startup.
Does the CAT3200H2-T3 require external compensation components?
No, the CAT3200H2-T3 does not require external compensation components. Its internal error amplifier and feedback network are fully compensated for stability with the specified 1 µF output capacitor. Layout adherence-especially separating PGND and SGND traces-is the primary design requirement for reliable regulation.
How does thermal protection work in the CAT3200H2-T3?
The CAT3200H2-T3 incorporates thermal shutdown that activates at approximately 160 °C junction temperature, disabling the charge pump until the die cools to ~140 °C (20 °C hysteresis). This cycling behavior prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design, and is documented in Table 5 and the Thermal Protection section of the datasheet.
