Product details
Overview
LT1054IPE4 from Texas Instruments is a bipolar switched-capacitor voltage converter with integrated regulation, designed as a negative voltage generator (charge pump) for precision DC-DC conversion. 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 features an internal 2.5 V reference and shutdown capability via FB/SD pin - used in RS-232 interface supplies and data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT1054IPE4 datasheet, LT1054IPE4 pinout, LT1054IPE4 application, or LT1054IPE4 equivalent, key selection criteria include regulated negative output capability, oscillator synchronization support, shutdown quiescent current (100 µA), external feedback resistor programming, and PDIP-8 package compatibility with legacy industrial designs.
Technical Context
The LT1054IPE4 implements a four-phase switched-capacitor topology with adaptive switch drive to minimize conduction and switching losses across 10 mA–100 mA loads. Its internal error amplifier compares FB/SD voltage against a trimmed 2.5 V reference, enabling precise output regulation independent of input variation or load changes.
Oscillator frequency is nominally 25 kHz (15–35 kHz over temperature and supply), adjustable via external capacitor on OSC pin or synchronizable to external clock. Shutdown is asserted by pulling FB/SD below ≈0.45 V, disabling switching and reducing supply current to 100 µA while discharging CIN/COUT through the load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 100 mA max - supports moderate-power analog rails and interface supplies without external pass devices. |
| Voltage Loss | 1.1 V typ at 100 mA - defines minimum input-to-output differential required for regulation (e.g., ≥6.1 V input for −5 V output). |
| Input Range | 3.5 V to 15 V - enables direct operation from common industrial and telecom supply rails. |
| Reference Voltage | 2.5 V ±0.25 V - stable internal reference used with external R1/R2 divider to set regulated VOUT (e.g., −5 V with R1=20 kΩ, R2=102.5 kΩ). |
| Oscillator Freq | 25 kHz nominal (15–35 kHz) - optimized trade-off between capacitor size, ripple, and switching loss; externally adjustable/synchronizable. |
| Shutdown Current | 100 µA typ - enables low-power sleep modes in battery-backed or intermittent-use systems. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for extended industrial environments, matching LT1054I grade specification. |
Pinout & Package
LT1054IPE4 is housed in an 8-pin PDIP (Plastic Dual In-line Package) with body dimensions 9.50 mm × 6.35 mm, lead pitch 2.54 mm, and through-hole mounting. The package is RoHS-compliant and rated for industrial temperature operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FB/SD (Pin 1) | Error amp in / shutdown control | Pull ≤0.45 V to enter shutdown (100 µA IQ); connect to resistor divider for regulated output (e.g., −5 V). |
| CAP+ (Pin 2) | Positive terminal of flying capacitor | Connects to positive plate of external 2 µF timing capacitor; carries bidirectional switch current ≈2× IOUT. |
| GND (Pin 3) | Ground reference | Primary return path for all internal circuits and external capacitors; must be low-impedance. |
| CAP− (Pin 4) | Negative terminal of flying capacitor | Connects to negative plate of external 2 µF capacitor; completes charge-transfer path during switching phases. |
| VOUT (Pin 5) | Regulated negative output | Delivers stabilized negative voltage (e.g., −5 V) referenced to GND; requires 100 µF low-ESR tantalum output capacitor. |
| VREF (Pin 6) | 2.5 V reference output | Provides precision reference for feedback network; max load 60 µA; used to set VOUT = −VREF × (1 + R2/R1). |
| OSC (Pin 7) | Oscillator control | Adjusts or synchronizes internal 25 kHz oscillator; add capacitor to GND to lower freq, or to VREF to raise freq. |
| VCC (Pin 8) | Positive supply input | Accepts 3.5–15 V; powers internal logic, drivers, and reference; not connected to output stage directly. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated regulation | Eliminates need for external op-amp and reference in negative supply designs; achieves <50 mV load regulation over 10–100 mA. |
| Adaptive switch drive | Optimizes gate drive strength dynamically to reduce conduction loss at light loads and switching loss at heavy loads. |
| External oscillator sync | Enables noise-sensitive applications to lock switching to system clock, avoiding beat frequencies and EMI peaks. |
| Parallel operation support | Multiple LT1054IPE4 units can share load via synchronized OSC pins and common CAP+/CAP− nodes - scales output current beyond 100 mA. |
| Pin-to-pin compatibility | Direct replacement for LTC1044 and ICL7660 in PDIP-8 footprint, enabling drop-in upgrade to higher current and regulation capability. |

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; fixed −VIN output only; 20 mA max output; no FB/SD pin or VREF output. | Suitable only for basic unregulated inversion; cannot implement closed-loop regulation or shutdown control. | Select when cost and simplicity outweigh need for regulation, higher current, or power management features. |
| ICL7660CPA | Unregulated only; 20 mA output; no reference or error amp; oscillator not synchronizable; wider VIN range (1.5–10 V). | Limited to low-current, non-critical inversion tasks; lacks thermal and load regulation needed for precision analog rails. | Choose for legacy designs where pinout matches but performance requirements are minimal. |
Compared with LTC1044CN8#PBF and ICL7660CPA, the LT1054IPE4 provides 5× higher output current, integrated regulation, 100 µA shutdown mode, and oscillator synchronization - making it the only option among the three capable of delivering stable, programmable negative rails in industrial-grade applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LT1054IPE4?
The LT1054IPE4 delivers up to 100 mA of continuous regulated output current under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 3.5 V to 15 V, TA = −40°C to +85°C). This rating assumes proper external capacitor selection (100 µF low-ESR tantalum for COUT, 2 µF for CIN) and adequate PCB thermal relief. Exceeding 100 mA risks thermal shutdown or degraded regulation performance in the LT1054IPE4.
How does the LT1054IPE4 achieve output voltage regulation?
The LT1054IPE4 achieves regulation using an internal 2.5 V reference and error amplifier. The FB/SD pin serves as the inverting input to this amplifier; connecting it to a resistive divider from VOUT to GND sets the regulated output voltage as VOUT = −VREF × (1 + R2/R1). For example, with R1 = 20 kΩ and R2 = 102.5 kΩ, the LT1054IPE4 regulates to −5.0 V with <50 mV load regulation error.
Can the LT1054IPE4 be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes, the LT1054IPE4 supports external oscillator synchronization via the OSC pin (Pin 7). An open-collector gate or NPN transistor can drive this pin at the desired system clock frequency. A 20 kΩ pull-up to VREF is recommended. Synchronization eliminates beat frequencies and reduces EMI in noise-sensitive applications such as precision data acquisition - a capability not present in earlier charge pumps like the ICL7660 or LTC1044.
What is the purpose of the VREF pin on the LT1054IPE4?
The VREF pin (Pin 6) on the LT1054IPE4 provides a stable 2.5 V ±0.25 V reference output used to bias the external resistor divider that programs regulated VOUT. It sources up to 60 µA for feedback networks and can also serve as a pull-up point for OSC pin synchronization. Its temperature coefficient is intentionally adjusted to compensate for internal drift, ensuring minimal overall TC on the regulated output voltage in the LT1054IPE4.
Does the LT1054IPE4 support parallel operation for higher current?
Yes, the LT1054IPE4 supports parallel operation to increase total output current beyond 100 mA. Multiple LT1054IPE4 units can be synchronized by connecting their OSC pins together and sharing CAP+, CAP−, and VOUT nodes. Texas Instruments confirms this configuration in the datasheet and specifies matched timing and adaptive drive ensure balanced current sharing - a feature absent in non-regulated alternatives like the ICL7660.
