Product details
Overview
LTC1157CS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a dual micropower high-side/low-side N-channel MOSFET gate driver optimized for 3.3V and 5V supply systems. It integrates an internal charge pump to generate gate drive up to 8.8V above supply (13.8V vs ground at 5V), enabling full enhancement of logic-level and standard N-channel MOSFETs in battery-powered power management circuits such as notebook computer load switching and reverse-battery-protected battery chargers.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1157CS8#PBF datasheet, LTC1157CS8#PBF pinout, LTC1157CS8#PBF application, or LTC1157CS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3µA standby current, controlled 30–300µs turn-on time with 1000pF gate load, 5.4V gate-boost above 3.3V supply, SOIC-8 package compatibility, and dual independent channel operation without external charge pump components.
Technical Context
The LTC1157CS8#PBF implements two independent CMOS-input, charge-pump-based gate drivers with ultra-low quiescent current regulation. Each channel features active-high logic inputs with 50mV hysteresis, input thresholds scaled to 15% and 70% of VS, and ESD-protected high-impedance gates.
Its internal oscillator-driven charge pump delivers regulated gate voltage boost (4.5–5.4V above VS at 3.3V, 7.5–8.8V at 5V) without external capacitors. Gate discharge is actively controlled to limit dV/dt and suppress EMI, with turn-off times as low as 10µs into 1000pF.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports mixed 3.3V/5V system rails and Li-ion battery input (3–4 cells). |
| Standby Current (per device) | 3µA at VS = 3.3V - enables multi-week battery life in always-on portable subsystems. |
| Operating Current (per driver) | 80µA at VS = 3.3V - sustains continuous switching without thermal derating in compact layouts. |
| Gate Voltage Boost | 5.4V above VS (typ.) at 3.3V supply - fully enhances logic-level N-MOSFETs (e.g., IRLR024) in high-side configuration. |
| Turn-On Time | 30–300µs (to VS +1V, 1000pF load) - balances fast response with inrush current control for capacitive loads. |
| Input Thresholds | VINH = 70% × VS, VINL = 15% × VS - ensures noise immunity and compatibility across 3.3V/5V logic families. |
| Output Voltage Rating | VS + 12V max - accommodates high-side switching into 12V loads (e.g., motor drivers, LED strings). |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic SOIC (SO-8), 3.9mm × 4.9mm body, 1.27mm pitch, RoHS-compliant lead-free finish (#PBF).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 5 | No Connect (NC) | Internally unused; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice - no electrical function. |
| 2 | GATE 1 (G1) | High-impedance boosted output driving N-MOSFET gate; capable of sourcing >1mA peak to charge 1000pF in <300µs. |
| 3 | GND | Power and signal reference ground; series 300Ω resistor recommended for reverse-battery protection. |
| 4 | IN1 | Active-high CMOS input with hysteresis; drives channel 1 when ≥70% × VS; draws ±1µA max. |
| 6 | GATE 2 (G2) | Independent boosted gate driver output identical in spec to G1 - enables dual-load or H-bridge half-bridge control. |
| 7 | VS | Positive supply input (2.7–5.5V); powers internal regulator, oscillator, and charge pump - requires local 0.1µF bypass. |
| 8 | IN2 | Active-high CMOS input for channel 2; electrically isolated from IN1 - supports asynchronous dual-switching control. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external charge pump components | On-chip oscillator and flying capacitor eliminate need for external diodes/capacitors - reduces BOM count and PCB area by ≥4 parts. |
| Controlled gate rise/fall times | Programmed slew rate limits EMI emissions and prevents supply rail collapse during simultaneous switching of large MOSFETs. |
| 3.3V/5V logic compatibility | Input thresholds scale with VS (15%/70%) - eliminates level shifters when interfacing with µP GPIO, CPLD, or ASIC control signals. |
| Ultra-low standby current | 3µA total device current with both inputs low - extends shelf life and runtime in sleep-mode battery systems (e.g., palmtop PCs). |
| Reverse battery protection support | Ground pin tolerates –3.6V with 300Ω series resistor - enables robust front-end protection without additional ICs or diodes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual high-side/low-side MOSFET driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS28225DR | Higher 2.5mA quiescent current; 12V max gate drive; requires external bootstrap capacitor for high-side. | Targeted at industrial motor drives with >1A loads; not optimized for sub-100µA standby. | Choose TPS28225DR only when >1A peak gate current or 12V+ supply rails dominate design requirements. |
| MAX5072ASA+ | Integrated 5V LDO; 10µA standby; single-channel; no internal charge pump - requires external boost for high-side N-FET. | Designed for telecom DC-DC sequencers; lacks dual independent outputs and gate-boost capability. | Prefer MAX5072ASA+ only when system already provides boosted gate voltage and needs integrated bias supply. |
Compared with TPS28225DR and MAX5072ASA+, the LTC1157CS8#PBF uniquely combines dual-channel operation, on-chip charge pump, 3µA standby, and SOIC-8 footprint - making it the only solution that enables true micropower dual N-FET switching without external components in space-constrained portable designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the LTC1157CS8#PBF?
The LTC1157CS8#PBF has an absolute maximum supply voltage (VS) of 7V. Operation beyond this limit risks permanent damage. The recommended operating range is 2.7V to 5.5V, aligning with standard Li-ion battery packs (3–4 cells) and regulated 3.3V/5V rails. Exceeding 5.5V may degrade gate-boost accuracy and increase quiescent current beyond datasheet specifications.
Can the LTC1157CS8#PBF drive standard N-channel MOSFETs at 3.3V supply?
Yes - the LTC1157CS8#PBF generates up to 5.4V above VS (8.7V vs ground) at 3.3V supply, fully enhancing logic-level N-MOSFETs like IRLR024 (VGS(th) ≤ 2.0V, RDS(ON) specified at VGS = 4.5V). Standard N-FETs (VGS(th) ≤ 3.0V) also operate reliably, though RDS(ON) will be higher than at 5V drive - verify conduction loss at actual load current.
Does the LTC1157CS8#PBF require external capacitors for its charge pump?
No - the LTC1157CS8#PBF integrates all charge pump capacitance on-die. No external flying capacitors, diodes, or timing components are required. A 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor on the VS pin is mandatory for stable operation, but the charge pump itself functions autonomously with zero external parts.
What is the thermal performance of the LTC1157CS8#PBF in SOIC-8 package?
The LTC1157CS8#PBF in SOIC-8 has θJA = 150°C/W. At 80µA per driver (160µA total) and 3.3V supply, power dissipation is ~0.53mW - resulting in negligible junction temperature rise (<0.1°C) under typical conditions. Derating is unnecessary below 100mA total output current, even in sealed enclosures.
How does the LTC1157CS8#PBF handle reverse battery connection?
The LTC1157CS8#PBF supports reverse battery protection via a 300Ω resistor in series with the GND pin. With –3.6V applied, current is limited to <12mA, preventing latch-up or oxide damage. The IC remains functional during normal operation since its 3µA standby current causes only ~0.9mV drop across the resistor - preserving ground reference integrity.
