Product details
Overview
LTC1144CS8#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a monolithic CMOS switched-capacitor voltage converter that inverts a positive input (2V–18V) to a complementary negative output (–2V to –18V). It integrates an internal oscillator, divide-by-two logic, level shifter, and four power MOSFETs; requires only two external 10µF capacitors; delivers ≤120Ω output resistance at 15V/20mA; and supports shutdown current of 8µA. It is used in data acquisition systems for generating precision bipolar supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1144CS8#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1144CS8#TRPBF pinout, LTC1144CS8#TRPBF application, or LTC1144CS8#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (2V–18V), oscillator frequency control via BOOST/OSC pins, shutdown quiescent current (8µA), output resistance (56Ω typical), and SOIC-8 package compatibility with space-constrained industrial and battery-powered designs.
Technical Context
The LTC1144CS8#TRPBF implements a charge-pump topology using internal N-channel MOSFET switches and a two-phase clock derived from its on-chip oscillator. Its oscillator operates at 10kHz (unloaded) and can be overdriven externally or slowed with a capacitor on OSC (Pin 7); tying BOOST (Pin 1) to V+ raises frequency ~10×. A dedicated logic circuit prevents substrate turn-on of the N-channel power switches.
Output regulation is unregulated open-loop, with voltage conversion efficiency reaching 99.9% at no load and power efficiency 93% typical at 10kHz/2kΩ load. Output impedance is dominated by 1/(f × C₁) at low frequencies and MOSFET on-resistance at high frequencies - enabling design trade-offs between ripple, load capability, and efficiency via C₁/C₂ selection and oscillator tuning.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2V to 18V - supports single-cell LiFePO₄ up to 15V wall adapters without external regulation. |
| Output Voltage Range | –2V to –18V - provides rail-to-rail inverted supply matching input magnitude, e.g., +15V → –15V. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 10kHz (default), adjustable to ~100kHz with BOOST pin - higher frequency reduces output impedance and ripple under load. |
| Output Resistance | 56Ω typical (15V/20mA), ≤120Ω max - defines voltage droop under load; lower than LTC1044 (150Ω). |
| Shutdown Current | 8µA - enables ultra-low-power sleep mode in portable instrumentation and sensor nodes. |
| Conversion Efficiency | 93% typical (power), 99.9% typical (voltage, open-circuit) - minimizes heat rise in sealed enclosures. |
| Operating Temp | 0°C to 70°C - rated for commercial-grade embedded systems and test equipment environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-Lead Plastic SOIC (S8), 0.150-inch width, RoHS-compliant lead-free finish, JEDEC MS-012AC standard footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BOOST (1) | Oscillator frequency multiplier control | Tie to V+ to raise switching frequency ~10×; reduces output impedance and improves transient response. |
| CAP+ (2) | Positive pump capacitor terminal | Connects to + terminal of flying capacitor C₁; carries bidirectional charge-transfer current. |
| GND (3) | Ground reference | Common return for all internal logic and power paths; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane. |
| CAP– (4) | Negative pump capacitor terminal | Connects to – terminal of flying capacitor C₁; forms charge-transfer loop with CAP+ and internal switches. |
| VOUT (5) | Negative output terminal | Delivers inverted output voltage; output impedance ≤120Ω enables ≤200mV drop at 20mA load. |
| SHDN (6) | Active-low shutdown enable | Pull low to disable oscillator and reduce supply current to 8µA; floating or tied to V+ enables operation. |
| OSC (7) | External oscillator control | Accepts external clock or capacitor for frequency adjustment; 4µA drive capability allows direct CMOS gate interface. |
| V+ (8) | Positive input supply | Primary power input (2V–18V); powers internal logic, gate drivers, and charge pump; transient-rated to 20V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated MOSFET switch array | Four on-chip N-channel power switches eliminate external discrete FETs and reduce BOM count. |
| Adjustable oscillator architecture | Frequency tunable from ~1kHz to ~100kHz via OSC pin capacitor or BOOST pin override - enables ripple vs. efficiency optimization. |
| Substrate latch-up prevention logic | Dedicated circuit blocks parasitic NPN turn-on in power MOSFETs - ensures robust operation across temperature and load transients. |
| Low-noise charge-pump topology | No inductors or diodes required; uses only two noncritical 10µF electrolytic/tantalum capacitors - simplifies layout and lowers EMI. |
| High open-circuit conversion fidelity | 99.9% voltage conversion efficiency means VOUT ≈ –VIN with negligible offset - critical for precision analog front-ends. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar switched-capacitor inverter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC1044CN8#TRPBF | Higher 150Ω max output resistance; fixed 10kHz oscillator; no BOOST pin; DIP-8 only | Less suitable for >10mA loads or low-ripple applications; limited to through-hole assembly | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs performance; not recommended for new SOIC-based designs. |
| LTC1054CS8#TRPBF | Regulated –15V output; 100mA output current; 2.5mA quiescent current; includes internal regulation loop | Used where precise, load-invariant negative voltage is mandatory (e.g., DAC reference); higher IQ increases standby power | Choose for regulated output stability; LTC1144CS8#TRPBF preferred when unregulated inversion suffices and ultra-low IQ is critical. |
Compared with LTC1044CN8#TRPBF, LTC1144CS8#TRPBF offers lower output resistance and SOIC packaging; versus LTC1054CS8#TRPBF, it trades regulation for 8µA shutdown current and simpler external component count - making it optimal for cost- and power-sensitive unregulated bipolar rail generation.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage supported by the LTC1144CS8#TRPBF?
The LTC1144CS8#TRPBF supports a minimum input voltage of 2V, enabling operation from partially discharged lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO₄) cells or low-voltage wall adapters. This 2V lower limit is specified across the full 0°C to 70°C operating temperature range and is validated per Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables in the official datasheet.
Can the LTC1144CS8#TRPBF generate regulated output voltages?
The LTC1144CS8#TRPBF is an unregulated charge-pump inverter; its output voltage tracks –VIN with high fidelity (99.9% conversion efficiency open-circuit) but lacks internal feedback. However, external regulation is possible - Figure 12 in the datasheet shows a –5V regulated output using a transistor and resistive divider. The LTC1144CS8#TRPBF itself does not provide regulation, but serves as the core inverting stage in such circuits.
How does the BOOST pin affect oscillator frequency in the LTC1144CS8#TRPBF?
Tying the BOOST pin (Pin 1) of the LTC1144CS8#TRPBF to V+ increases the internal oscillator frequency by approximately 10× - from the default 10kHz to ~100kHz. This reduces output impedance and ripple under load, improving dynamic performance. Leaving BOOST open or grounded restores the base frequency. The effect is confirmed in Typical Performance Characteristics (TPC03) and Applications Information sections of the datasheet.
Is the LTC1144CS8#TRPBF pin-compatible with the LTC1044 series?
No, the LTC1144CS8#TRPBF is not pin-compatible with the LTC1044 series. While both are 8-pin SOIC inverters, the pin functions differ: LTC1144CS8#TRPBF assigns Pin 1 to BOOST and Pin 7 to OSC, whereas LTC1044 uses Pin 1 for V+, Pin 7 for OSC, and has no BOOST function. PCB layout and schematic must be redesigned - direct replacement is not feasible without hardware revision.
What external capacitors are required for basic operation of the LTC1144CS8#TRPBF?
The LTC1144CS8#TRPBF requires two external capacitors: a 10µF flying capacitor (C₁) between CAP+ (Pin 2) and CAP– (Pin 4), and a 10µF reservoir capacitor (C₂) between VOUT (Pin 5) and GND (Pin 3). Aluminum or tantalum electrolytics are recommended; tolerance and ESR are non-critical. These values are validated in Typical Application (Figure 8) and Electrical Characteristics testing conditions.
