Product details
Overview
LTC1261LCMS8-4.5#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a fixed-output switched-capacitor voltage inverter IC that generates a regulated –4.5V negative supply from a single 4.75V to 5.25V positive input. It delivers up to 20mA output current with ±4.5% regulation accuracy, features an open-drain REG flag indicating regulation status, and operates with only three external capacitors. It is used in GaAs FET bias generation and battery-powered systems requiring compact, low-quiescent-power negative rails.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1261LCMS8-4.5#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1261LCMS8-4.5#TRPBF pinout, LTC1261LCMS8-4.5#TRPBF application, or LTC1261LCMS8-4.5#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include fixed –4.5V output tolerance, MSOP-8 package compatibility, shutdown current of 5µA, REG pin logic behavior, and guaranteed operation across 0°C to 70°C.
Technical Context
The LTC1261LCMS8-4.5#TRPBF implements a 650kHz internal oscillator-driven inverting charge pump topology with feedback regulation via an internal 1.23V reference. Output voltage is set by factory-trimmed resistor networks connected to the ADJ/COMP pin, eliminating external resistors for fixed-output variants.
Regulation is achieved by cycle-by-cycle pulse truncation: when the divided output at ADJ exceeds 1.23V, the RS latch resets, reducing effective duty cycle. A secondary comparator (1.17V threshold) drives the open-drain REG pin low when output magnitude is within 5% of –4.5V - i.e., VOUT ≥ –4.275V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed –4.5V, guaranteed over 4.75V–5.25V input and 0–10mA load per datasheet Table on page 3. |
| Output Regulation | ±4.5% - ensures VOUT stays between –4.343V and –4.657V under specified conditions. |
| Supply Current | 650µA typical operating current; drops to 5µA in shutdown - enables ultra-low-power standby modes. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 650kHz internal clock - determines charge transfer rate and sets minimum output ripple period (1.54µs). |
| Output Current | Up to 20mA continuous - sufficient for GaAs FET gate biasing and small-signal analog circuitry. |
| REG Pin Behavior | Open-drain output sinks ≥5mA at 5V VCC when VOUT ≥ –4.275V - provides system-level power-valid signaling. |
| Shutdown Threshold | SHDN pin pulled high disables charge pump; internal 5µA pull-down ensures default active state if floating. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic MSOP (MS8), 3.00mm × 3.00mm body, 0.65mm pitch, exposed pad optional. Thermal resistance θJA = 200°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC (Pin 1) | Positive supply input | Accepts 4.75V–5.25V; requires ≥1µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed near pin for stable operation. |
| C1+ (Pin 2) | Flying capacitor positive terminal | Connects to one end of 0.1µF flying capacitor; forms charge-transfer path with C1–. |
| C1– (Pin 3) | Flying capacitor negative terminal | Connects to other end of 0.1µF flying capacitor; referenced to ground during charge phase. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Analog ground reference | Low-impedance return path for charge pump and regulation loop; critical for minimizing regulation error. |
| ADJ/COMP (Pin 5) | Internal feedback node | Internally connected to fixed resistor divider; optional 100pF compensation capacitor to ground reduces output ripple. |
| OUT (Pin 6) | Negative regulated output | Delivers –4.5V; requires ≥3.3µF output capacitor with low ESR to maintain regulation and limit ripple. |
| REG (Pin 7) | Regulation status indicator | Open-drain N-channel output; pulls low when |VOUT| ≥ 95% of setpoint - requires external pull-up for logic-high assertion. |
| SHDN (Pin 8) | Enable/disable control | Active-low logic: grounded = normal operation; >2V = shutdown mode (5µA quiescent current). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed –4.5V output | Factory-trimmed internal resistor network eliminates external components and calibration effort. |
| Three-capacitor solution | Only 0.1µF flying + ≥1µF input + ≥3.3µF output capacitors required - minimizes BOM count and board area. |
| Power-valid REG signal | Open-drain REG pin provides system-level confirmation of output regulation without additional monitoring circuitry. |
| 650kHz charge pump | High-frequency switching enables use of small ceramic capacitors and reduces output filter size. |
| 5µA shutdown current | Enables long battery life in portable applications by disabling all internal circuitry except SHDN pull-down. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar switched-capacitor voltage inverter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX680ESA+ | Fixed –5V output; 100kHz oscillator; requires four external capacitors; ±1.5% regulation. | Higher output voltage magnitude; lower switching frequency increases output capacitor size requirement. | Select when –5V (not –4.5V) is required and board space allows larger 4.7µF output capacitor. |
| LTC1983ES6-4.5#TRMPBF | Same –4.5V output; 1MHz oscillator; SOT-23-6 package; 1.2mA quiescent current; no REG pin. | Smaller footprint but higher IQ; lacks regulation status flag - requires external monitoring if power-valid needed. | Select for space-constrained designs where REG functionality is not required and 1.2mA IQ is acceptable. |
Compared with MAX680ESA+ and LTC1983ES6-4.5#TRMPBF, the LTC1261LCMS8-4.5#TRPBF offers tighter integration (three capacitors), built-in REG signaling, and lower quiescent current - making it optimal for GaAs bias and battery-sensitive applications demanding –4.5V specifically.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for reliable operation of the LTC1261LCMS8-4.5#TRPBF?
The LTC1261LCMS8-4.5#TRPBF requires a minimum supply voltage of 4.75V to guarantee ±4.5% output regulation across temperature and load. Operation below 4.75V is possible but not characterized - output may deviate beyond specification, especially at full 20mA load or elevated temperature. Always verify VCC ≥ 4.75V in final design.
Does the LTC1261LCMS8-4.5#TRPBF require an external resistor divider to set its output voltage?
No. The LTC1261LCMS8-4.5#TRPBF is a fixed-output variant with internal resistor trimming connected to the ADJ/COMP pin. No external resistors are needed - unlike the adjustable LTC1261L, this part delivers precisely –4.5V without configuration components.
Can the REG pin of the LTC1261LCMS8-4.5#TRPBF be left unconnected?
No. The REG pin is an open-drain output and must be pulled up externally (e.g., to 3.3V or 5V) with a resistor (typically 10kΩ) to provide a valid logic-high level when regulation is achieved. Leaving REG unconnected results in a floating node and no actionable power-valid signal.
What is the purpose of the 100pF capacitor recommended on the ADJ/COMP pin of the LTC1261LCMS8-4.5#TRPBF?
The 100pF capacitor from ADJ/COMP to GND compensates the regulation loop by counteracting parasitic capacitance, stabilizing feedback response, and reducing output voltage ripple - especially under dynamic load conditions. It does not affect DC output voltage but improves transient performance and prevents comparator "hunting".
Is the LTC1261LCMS8-4.5#TRPBF RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes. The "#TRPBF" suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging with 100% matte tin (Sn) lead finish, fully compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC J-STD-609. The device meets IPC/JEDEC standard J-STD-020 for moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1.
