Product details
Overview
LTC1261LIS8#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an industrial-grade switched-capacitor regulated voltage inverter IC that generates a stable negative output from a single positive supply. It operates from 2.7V to 5.25V, delivers up to 20mA at ±4.5% regulation, and features an open-drain REG flag indicating output-in-regulation status - used in GaAs FET biasing, portable instrumentation, and dual-rail analog signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1261LIS8#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1261LIS8#TRPBF pinout, LTC1261LIS8#TRPBF application, or LTC1261LIS8#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its adjustable/fixed-output capability, 650kHz internal oscillator, shutdown quiescent current of 5µA, SO-8 industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), and compatibility with ceramic flying/output capacitors.
Technical Context
The LTC1261LIS8#TRPBF implements a charge-pump inverter architecture with internal 650kHz oscillator and feedback-controlled duty-cycle modulation. Regulation is achieved by comparing a resistor-divided output voltage (at ADJ pin) against a 1.23V internal reference referenced to VOUT-not ground-enabling precise negative-voltage control without external op-amps.
Its REG pin uses a secondary comparator (1.17V threshold) to assert low when output magnitude is within 5% of setpoint; SHDN enables full shutdown with 5µA supply current. The device supports both adjustable (via external R-divider) and fixed-output variants (e.g., –4V/–4.5V), with identical SO-8 packaging and industrial-grade thermal specs (θJA = 135°C/W).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage Range | Adjustable: –1.23V to –5V; fixed options also available - enables flexible bias generation across analog rails. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.25V - compatible with Li-ion, 3.3V, and 5V systems without external LDO pre-regulation. |
| Output Regulation Accuracy | ±4.5% over load (0–20mA) and supply (2.7–5.25V) - ensures stable bias for precision amplifiers and RF front-ends. |
| Quiescent Current | 650µA typical operating / 5µA shutdown - extends battery life in portable instrumentation and sensor nodes. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 650kHz fixed internal clock - enables compact 0.1µF flying capacitor and reduces EMI vs lower-frequency pumps. |
| REG Output Function | Open-drain flag asserting low when |VOUT| is within 5% of target - provides system-level power-valid signaling without additional logic. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C (industrial grade) - validated for automotive cabin, industrial PLC, and outdoor IoT deployments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-Lead Plastic SO (Narrow, 0.150-inch width), RoHS-compliant, lead-free finish (Pb-free). Thermal resistance θJA = 135°C/W; maximum junction temperature = 150°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC (Pin 1) | Positive supply input | Accepts 2.7–5.25V; requires ≥1µF local ceramic bypass to minimize supply noise coupling into charge pump. |
| C1+ (Pin 2) | Flying capacitor top node | Connects to 0.1µF ceramic flying capacitor (C1); high dv/dt node - keep trace short and low-inductance. |
| C1– (Pin 3) | Flying capacitor bottom node | Completes C1 connection; forms charge-transfer path during clock phase reversal - critical for efficiency. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Analog and power ground reference | Low-impedance return for flying capacitor discharge and output ripple current - tie to solid ground plane. |
| ADJ (Pin 5) | Feedback adjust/compensation | For adjustable versions: sets output via resistor divider to VOUT; for fixed versions: internal divider connection point - optional 100pF to GND reduces ripple. |
| OUT (Pin 6) | Negative regulated output | Delivers up to 20mA; requires ≥3.3µF low-ESR ceramic output capacitor - ESR >2Ω causes regulation error due to spike-induced comparator false trip. |
| REG (Pin 7) | Regulation status flag | Open-drain N-channel output; sinks ≥5mA at 5V VCC - must be externally pulled up to monitor power-good condition. |
| SHDN (Pin 8) | Shutdown control | Active-low enable; internal 5µA pull-down allows floating = operational mode - simplifies PCB layout in always-on applications. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Three-capacitor operation | Only 0.1µF flying + input/output bypass caps required - eliminates inductors and simplifies BOM for space-constrained designs. |
| Internal 650kHz oscillator | No external timing components needed - ensures consistent switching frequency across temperature and supply variations. |
| Reference-referred-to-VOUT topology | 1.23V bandgap reference referenced to OUT (not GND) - enables accurate regulation of negative voltages without level-shifting circuitry. |
| REG output with 5% tolerance window | Provides deterministic power-valid indication - avoids false asserts during startup or transient load events. |
| Industrial temperature qualification | Guaranteed performance from –40°C to +85°C - suitable for deployment in uncontrolled environments without derating. |

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 only; 100kHz oscillator; requires 2 flying caps; ±1.5% regulation; SO-8 package | Lacks adjustable output and REG flag; higher output ripple due to lower frequency | Choose when fixed –5V suffices and lowest BOM count is priority over regulation accuracy or status signaling. |
| TPS60403DBVR | Adjustable –1.5V to –5.5V; 1MHz oscillator; 2.7–5.5V input; ±3% regulation; SOT-23-6 package | Smaller footprint but lower output current (60mA max); no REG pin; different pinout and layout | Prefer for ultra-compact designs where 60mA load and absence of power-valid signaling are acceptable. |
Compared with MAX680ESA+ and TPS60403DBVR, the LTC1261LIS8#TRPBF uniquely combines adjustable/fixed output flexibility, integrated REG flag for system monitoring, industrial temperature rating, and proven low-ripple performance with standard SO-8 layout - making it optimal for reliability-critical analog biasing.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LTC1261LIS8#TRPBF to regulate at –4V output?
The LTC1261LIS8#TRPBF requires a minimum supply voltage of 4.35V to guarantee ±4.5% regulation at –4V output across 0–20mA load and –40°C to +85°C. Below 4.35V, regulation may degrade - confirmed in Electrical Characteristics Table (Note 5). For reliable –4V operation, maintain VCC ≥4.35V.
Can LTC1261LIS8#TRPBF generate –1.23V output, and what resistor values are needed?
Yes, LTC1261LIS8#TRPBF supports adjustable output down to –1.23V using an external resistor divider from OUT to ADJ. To set VOUT = –1.23V, connect R1 between OUT and ADJ, R2 between ADJ and GND, with R1 = 0Ω and R2 open - effectively grounding ADJ. For other values, use R1/R2 ratio per VOUT = –1.23V × (1 + R1/R2).
Does LTC1261LIS8#TRPBF require an external compensation capacitor on the ADJ pin?
An external 100pF capacitor from ADJ to GND is optional but recommended to reduce output ripple, especially under heavy loads or with high-ESR output capacitors. The LTC1261LIS8#TRPBF datasheet confirms this improves regulation loop bandwidth and prevents "hunting" behavior - verified in Figure 2 and Applications Information section.
What is the maximum continuous output current for LTC1261LIS8#TRPBF at –4V and 5V input?
The LTC1261LIS8#TRPBF delivers up to 20mA continuous output current at –4V with 5V input while maintaining ±4.5% regulation - specified in both Electrical Characteristics (IOUT column) and Typical Performance Characteristics (Figure G02). Output current drops linearly below 4.35V input per Minimum Required VCC vs VOUT curve (Figure G01).
How does the REG pin on LTC1261LIS8#TRPBF behave during startup and load transients?
The REG pin on LTC1261LIS8#TRPBF remains high-impedance (open-drain off) until output reaches within 5% of target - then pulls low. During startup, it asserts low after ~250–1500µs (depending on load), and during load transients, it releases only if |VOUT| deviates >5% - confirmed by Turn-On Time spec and REG functional description in Pin Functions section.
