Product details
Overview
LTC1044AIN8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a monolithic CMOS switched-capacitor voltage converter in 8-lead plastic DIP package, operating from 1.5V to 12V supply, delivering ±10V output from 10V input with 97% open-circuit voltage conversion efficiency and 95% power conversion efficiency. It replaces ICL7660/LTC1044 in higher-voltage applications including battery-powered instrumentation and dual-rail analog signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1044AIN8#PBF datasheet, LTC1044AIN8#PBF pinout, LTC1044AIN8#PBF application, or LTC1044AIN8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range, BOOST pin-enabled 7× oscillator frequency scaling, 200µA max no-load supply current at 5V, and precise VOUT = VIN/2 ±20ppm voltage division capability.
Technical Context
The LTC1044AIN8#PBF implements a four-phase switched-capacitor topology with internal MOSFET switches controlled by a self-timed oscillator. Its LV pin (Pin 6) internally shorts to GND for V+ ≥ 3V, eliminating external biasing in most applications.
Oscillator frequency is factory-set at ~5kHz (V+ = 5V, COSC = 0pF) and scalable via BOOST pin (Pin 1) connection to V+, increasing frequency ~7× to reduce output impedance and ripple under load. The OSC pin (Pin 7) supports external clocking or capacitor-based frequency tuning.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.5V to 12V - enables direct operation from single-cell Li-ion, 3.3V/5V logic rails, and 9V battery systems without pre-regulation. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments including automotive body electronics and portable test equipment. |
| No-Load Supply Current | 200µA max at 5V - ensures ultra-low quiescent power in always-on battery backup circuits. |
| Voltage Conversion Efficiency | 97% min open-circuit - minimizes input-to-output voltage loss in precision voltage inversion and division. |
| Output Resistance | 100Ω typ at 5V, 5kHz - defines load regulation slope (~100mV/mA) and sets maximum usable load current before excessive droop. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 5kHz typ (V+ = 5V, BOOST = open); 35kHz typ (BOOST = V+) - higher frequency allows smaller external capacitors (e.g., 1µF instead of 10µF) for space-constrained designs. |
| Power Conversion Efficiency | 95% min at RL = 5kΩ - determines thermal rise and battery runtime in continuous-conversion applications like sensor bias supplies. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic DIP (N8), 0.300-inch width, JEDEC MS-001 compliant, with θJA = 100°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BOOST (1) | Oscillator frequency multiplier control | Connecting to V+ increases internal clock frequency ~7×, reducing output impedance and enabling smaller external capacitors. |
| CAP+ (2) | Positive flying capacitor terminal | Connects to one plate of C1; alternately charged/discharged to transfer charge between input and output nodes. |
| GND (3) | Ground reference and LV logic return | Common return for all circuitry; LV pin (6) is internally shorted to this node when V+ ≥ 3V. |
| CAP– (4) | Negative flying capacitor terminal | Connects to one plate of C2; polarity reversal relative to CAP+ enables voltage inversion and multiplication functions. |
| VOUT (5) | Regulated output voltage node | Delivers inverted (–VIN), doubled (+2VIN), or divided (VIN/2) output depending on external capacitor configuration. |
| LV (6) | Logic supply reference for internal switches | Internally tied to GND when V+ ≥ 3V; must be externally grounded only for V+ < 3V operation. |
| OSC (7) | Oscillator timing/control interface | Accepts external clock or 0pF/100pF capacitor to set base frequency; sink/source current ≤3µA enables TTL/CMOS drive. |
| V+ (8) | Positive supply input | Primary power input (1.5–12V); absolute maximum rating is 13V; powers internal logic and switch drivers. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Inductorless voltage conversion | Eliminates magnetic components, EMI, and layout sensitivity-ideal for compact PCBs and noise-sensitive analog sections. |
| Multiple conversion modes | Supports inversion (VOUT = –VIN), doubling (VOUT = 2VIN), precise division (VOUT = VIN/2 ±20ppm), and multiplication (VOUT = ±nVIN) with same IC and external caps. |
| BOOST pin frequency scaling | Enables 7× oscillator speedup to cut output impedance by ~85%, allowing 10× smaller flying capacitors without sacrificing regulation. |
| Ultra-low shutdown current | 1.5µA supply current when OSC pin tied to GND or V+ - extends battery life in sleep-mode systems such as portable data loggers. |
| High-voltage upgrade path | Direct replacement for ICL7660/LTC1044 with extended 12V max supply (vs. 6V/7V), supporting wider input ranges in automotive and industrial power domains. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX1044CPA+ | Same pinout, 1.5–6V supply range (vs. 1.5–12V), 100µA max IS at 5V, no BOOST pin | Limited to low-voltage systems; cannot replace LTC1044AIN8#PBF in 9V/12V battery or automotive applications | Select MAX1044CPA+ only for cost-sensitive 3.3V/5V designs where extended voltage range is unnecessary. |
| LTC3260IGN#PBF | Low-noise inverting charge pump with integrated LDOs, 4.5–32V input, 12-lead MSOP package, 20µA IQ | Provides regulated ±VOUT with <10µVRMS noise; requires more board area and external LDO bypass caps | Choose LTC3260IGN#PBF when ultra-low noise and tight regulation outweigh size/cost constraints in precision ADC/DAC supplies. |
Compared with MAX1044CPA+, LTC1044AIN8#PBF supports 2× higher input voltage and includes BOOST functionality for dynamic output impedance control; compared with LTC3260IGN#PBF, it offers simpler implementation and lower BOM count but lacks integrated regulation and noise filtering.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LTC1044AIN8#PBF?
The LTC1044AIN8#PBF has an absolute maximum supply voltage rating of 13V. Its specified operating supply voltage range is 1.5V to 12V, making it suitable for direct connection to 9V batteries, 12V automotive systems, and wall adapters without external regulators. Exceeding 13V may cause permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Can the LTC1044AIN8#PBF generate a precise half-supply voltage?
Yes, the LTC1044AIN8#PBF supports ultra-precision voltage division with VOUT = VIN/2 ±20ppm accuracy. This is achieved using the internal switched-capacitor network without external resistors, provided load current remains below 100nA. At higher loads, output impedance causes deviation, but regulation remains stable up to 15mA with ±0.02% load regulation.
How does the BOOST pin affect performance of the LTC1044AIN8#PBF?
Connecting the BOOST pin (Pin 1) of the LTC1044AIN8#PBF to V+ increases the internal oscillator frequency by approximately seven times. This reduces effective output resistance (e.g., from ~200Ω to ~30Ω at 10kHz), lowers output voltage ripple, and allows use of smaller flying capacitors-critical for miniaturized PCB layouts and high-current applications.
Is the LTC1044AIN8#PBF pin-compatible with the original LTC1044?
Yes, the LTC1044AIN8#PBF is pin-compatible and functionally backward-compatible with the LTC1044, but adds key enhancements: higher 12V max operating voltage (vs. 7V), improved 97% voltage conversion efficiency, BOOST pin for frequency scaling, and extended –40°C to +85°C temperature range. It directly replaces LTC1044 in existing designs with no layout changes required.
What external components are required for basic inverting operation of the LTC1044AIN8#PBF?
For basic inverting operation (VOUT = –V+), the LTC1044AIN8#PBF requires two external flying capacitors (C1 and C2), typically 10µF aluminum or tantalum electrolytics. No diodes, inductors, or precision resistors are needed. The LV pin (6) may be left floating for V+ ≥ 3V; OSC (7) and BOOST (1) pins can remain unconnected for default 5kHz operation.
