Product details
Overview
LT1054IP from Texas Instruments is a bipolar switched-capacitor voltage converter with integrated regulation, designed as a negative voltage generator or charge-pump inverter. It delivers up to 100 mA output current with typical voltage loss of 1.1 V at full load, operates from 3.5 V to 15 V input, and provides a 2.5 V internal reference for precise feedback-based regulation-used in RS-232 interface supplies and data acquisition systems requiring stable negative rails.
For engineers reviewing the LT1054IP datasheet, LT1054IP pinout, LT1054IP application, or LT1054IP equivalent, key selection considerations include its regulated −5 V output capability (with external resistor divider), shutdown functionality via FB/SD pin, oscillator synchronization support, adaptive-switch drive for wide-load efficiency, and compatibility with tantalum input/output capacitors in industrial communication and sensor signal conditioning designs.
Technical Context
The LT1054IP implements a switched-capacitor topology using internal PNP/NPN switches driven by a 25 kHz nominal oscillator, with adaptive timing to minimize conduction and switching losses across 10–100 mA loads. Its error amplifier compares FB/SD voltage against a trimmed 2.5 V reference to regulate output voltage against line and load variations.
Shutdown is achieved by pulling FB/SD below ≈0.45 V, disabling switching and reducing supply current to 100 μA; oscillator frequency can be adjusted externally via OSC pin capacitance or synchronized to an external clock using a pull-up to VREF and open-collector drive-enabling system-level timing coordination without added components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 100 mA maximum regulated output-supports moderate-power analog circuitry without external pass devices. |
| Voltage Loss | 1.1 V typical at 100 mA-defines minimum input-to-output differential required for regulation (e.g., ≥6.1 V for −5 V output). |
| Input Range | 3.5 V to 15 V-enables direct operation from common logic or industrial supply rails. |
| Oscillator Freq | 15–35 kHz adjustable range-allows optimization of capacitor size vs. EMI vs. voltage loss trade-offs. |
| Reference Voltage | 2.5 V ±0.25 V-stable internal reference enables accurate resistor-divider programming of output voltage. |
| Shutdown Current | 100 μA typical-reduces system standby power in battery-backed or intermittent-use applications. |
| Regulation Accuracy | ±25 mV line regulation, ±50 mV load regulation-ensures stable output under varying input and load conditions. |
Pinout & Package
LT1054IP is supplied in an 8-pin PDIP package (9.50 mm × 6.35 mm), with pins arranged in dual-in-line configuration and no internal connections on pins 1, 2, 7, and 8 in SOIC variants-however, the LT1054IP variant uses only the 8-pin PDIP footprint with fully functional pin mapping per datasheet.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FB/SD (Pin 1) | Error amp in / shutdown control | Pull below 0.45 V to enter 100 μA shutdown; connect resistor divider to set regulated output voltage. |
| CAP+ (Pin 2) | Positive terminal of flying capacitor | Connects to + side of external 10 μF–100 μF tantalum flying capacitor (CIN) used for charge transfer. |
| GND (Pin 3) | Power ground reference | Common return path for input supply, output load, and internal switch drivers-must be low-impedance. |
| CAP− (Pin 4) | Negative terminal of flying capacitor | Connects to − side of CIN; alternately charges/discharges to generate inverted output voltage. |
| VOUT (Pin 5) | Regulated negative output | Delivers −5 V (or other programmed value) to load; requires 100 μF tantalum output capacitor (COUT) for stability. |
| VREF (Pin 6) | 2.5 V precision reference output | Provides stable bias for feedback network; max 60 μA load recommended to maintain accuracy. |
| OSC (Pin 7) | Oscillator timing/sync input | Adjusts or synchronizes internal 25 kHz oscillator via external capacitor or open-collector clock signal. |
| VCC (Pin 8) | Positive supply input | Accepts 3.5–15 V input; powers internal regulators, amplifiers, and switch drivers. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated regulation | Enables precise −5 V (or user-programmed) output without external op-amps or discrete references. |
| Adaptive-switch drive | Optimizes efficiency across 10–100 mA load range by dynamically adjusting switch timing-reducing dropout at light loads. |
| External shutdown | Reduces quiescent current to 100 μA via simple logic-level pull-down on FB/SD-ideal for power-gated subsystems. |
| Oscillator synchronization | Allows alignment of switching edges to system clock-minimizing beat frequencies and simplifying EMI filtering. |
| Pin-to-pin compatibility | Direct replacement for LTC1044 and ICL7660 in existing layouts-enabling drop-in upgrade to higher current and regulation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar switched-capacitor voltage converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC1044CN8#PBF | No internal regulation; 25 mA max output; fixed 10 kHz oscillator; no shutdown pin. | Suitable only for unregulated inverter use; cannot replace LT1054IP in feedback-regulated designs. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs regulation need and load current ≤25 mA. |
| ICL7660CPA | No regulation; 20 mA max output; no shutdown; 10 kHz oscillator; higher voltage loss (>2 V at 20 mA). | Limited to low-current unregulated inversion; incompatible with FB/SD-controlled shutdown or VREF-based feedback. | Choose only for legacy designs where pinout matches and load is <20 mA with no regulation requirement. |
Compared with LTC1044CN8#PBF and ICL7660CPA, the LT1054IP offers 4× higher output current, integrated regulation, programmable shutdown, and oscillator flexibility-making it the sole option among the three capable of delivering stable −5 V at 100 mA from a single 5 V or 12 V input without external compensation.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LT1054IP?
The LT1054IP delivers up to 100 mA of regulated output current under recommended operating conditions (3.5 V to 15 V input, TA = 0°C to 70°C). This rating assumes proper external capacitor selection (10 μF–100 μF tantalum for CIN/COUT), adequate PCB layout for thermal dissipation, and operation within the specified junction temperature limit of 125°C. Exceeding 100 mA may cause regulation loss or thermal shutdown.
How do I configure the LT1054IP for a regulated −5 V output?
To configure the LT1054IP for −5 V output, connect a resistor divider between VOUT and GND, feeding the junction to FB/SD. With VREF = 2.5 V, use R1 = 20 kΩ from FB/SD to GND and R2 = 102.6 kΩ from VOUT to FB/SD. This ratio sets VOUT = −(1 + R2/R1) × VREF = −5 V. Ensure COUT = 100 μF tantalum and CIN = 10 μF tantalum are placed close to the LT1054IP package per the datasheet layout guidelines.
Can the LT1054IP be synchronized to an external clock signal?
Yes, the LT1054IP supports external oscillator synchronization via the OSC pin (Pin 7). Connect a 20 kΩ pull-up resistor from OSC to VREF (Pin 6), then drive OSC with an open-collector or NPN transistor referenced to GND. The external clock must be compatible with the internal oscillator's duty cycle and voltage thresholds-TI recommends verifying timing margins using the OSC pin's 0.45 V shutdown threshold and 2.5 V reference level in your system design.
What is the purpose of the VREF pin on the LT1054IP?
The VREF pin on the LT1054IP provides a precision 2.5 V ±0.25 V output used as the reference for the internal error amplifier during regulation. It enables accurate resistor-divider programming of VOUT and serves as a stable bias point for external synchronization circuits. Load current on VREF must be limited to ≤60 μA to maintain regulation accuracy; exceeding this may cause output voltage drift or instability in feedback-controlled configurations.
Does the LT1054IP support shutdown mode, and how is it activated?
Yes, the LT1054IP supports low-quiescent-current shutdown mode. To activate it, pull the FB/SD pin (Pin 1) below ≈0.45 V-typically by connecting it directly to GND or driving it with an open-collector logic gate. In shutdown, switching halts, the reference is disabled, and supply current drops to 100 μA typical. The device resumes normal operation when FB/SD rises above the threshold, making it suitable for microcontroller-controlled power sequencing in the LT1054IP-based design.
