Product details
Overview
LTC1263IS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a regulated charge-pump DC/DC converter designed to generate a stable 12V ±5% programming supply for byte-wide flash memory. It delivers guaranteed 60mA output current from a 4.75V–5.5V input, requires no inductors, uses only four external capacitors, and features TTL-compatible active-high shutdown with 0.5µA typical quiescent current in shutdown mode - deployed in flash programming circuits on embedded microcontroller boards.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1263IS8#PBF datasheet, LTC1263IS8#PBF pinout, LTC1263IS8#PBF application, or LTC1263IS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include regulated 12V output tolerance, inductorless charge-pump architecture, 8-pin SO package compatibility with LTC1262/MAX662, shutdown current spec, and flash-memory VPP timing compliance.
Technical Context
The LTC1263IS8#PBF implements a tripler charge-pump topology clocked by an internal 300kHz oscillator, using two 0.47µF flying capacitors (C1, C2) and dual 10µF output/input bypass capacitors. Regulation is achieved via comparator-based pulse gating of the charge pump, comparing a resistor-divided VOUT against a bandgap reference with hysteresis.
Internal switch gates are driven between GND and the higher of VCC or VOUT to ensure proper operation across startup and regulation transitions. During shutdown, VOUT is internally shorted to VCC, and the bandgap, oscillator, and comparator are disabled - reducing ICC to 0.5µA typical while maintaining VOUT = VCC.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 12V ±5% (11.4V–12.6V), tightly regulated for flash VPP programming compliance |
| Max Output Current | 60mA continuous, sufficient for standard byte-wide flash write cycles |
| Input Voltage Range | 4.75V to 5.5V, compatible with standard 5V logic rails and tolerant of rail droop |
| Shutdown Current | 0.5µA typical, enables ultra-low-power retention during flash standby |
| Oscillator Frequency | 300kHz typical, determines charge-pump switching speed and ripple frequency |
| Turn-On Time | 600µs typical to reach 11.4V, meets fast VPP ramp requirements in microcontroller bootloaders |
| Turn-Off Time | 10ms typical for VOUT decay to VCC, prevents unintended reprogramming during power-down |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic SO (narrow, 0.150" width), RoHS-compliant, surface-mountable, thermal resistance θJA = 150°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| C1– (Pin 1) | Flying capacitor negative terminal | Connects to negative plate of 0.47µF ceramic flying cap C1; critical for charge transfer efficiency |
| C1+ (Pin 2) | Flying capacitor positive terminal | Connects to positive plate of C1; forms first stage of tripler charge pump |
| C2– (Pin 3) | Second flying capacitor negative terminal | Connects to negative plate of second 0.47µF flying cap C2; enables voltage stacking |
| C2+ (Pin 4) | Second flying capacitor positive terminal | Connects to positive plate of C2; completes dual-capacitor charge-pump structure |
| VCC (Pin 5) | Main supply input | Accepts 4.75V–5.5V; requires 10µF bypass to GND for stability and transient response |
| VOUT (Pin 6) | Regulated 12V output | Delivers up to 60mA; internally shorted to VCC in shutdown; requires ≥10µF output capacitor |
| GND (Pin 7) | Analog and power ground | Common return for all internal circuitry and external capacitors; must be low-impedance |
| SHDN (Pin 8) | Active-high TTL shutdown control | Pulled up internally to VCC; drive low for normal operation; float or tie high for 0.5µA shutdown |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-inductor architecture | Eliminates EMI, size, and cost penalties of magnetic components - ideal for space-constrained flash programming modules |
| Guaranteed 60mA output | Meets worst-case VPP current demand of Intel/AMD-style byte-wide flash parts without derating |
| Same pinout as LTC1262 and MAX662 | Enables drop-in replacement or design reuse across 30mA/60mA flash supply variants in existing SO-8 layouts |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar flash memory programming supply applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC1262CS8 | 30mA max output, same 8-pin SO package and pinout, identical shutdown behavior and regulation scheme | Insufficient for flash parts requiring >40mA VPP; suitable only for low-density or older flash families | Select LTC1262CS8 only when VPP current demand is confirmed ≤30mA and layout reuse is prioritized |
| MAX662ACSA+ | 60mA output, 12V ±4%, uses different charge-pump topology; not pin-compatible - SHDN and capacitor pins differ | Requires PCB redesign; offers tighter initial tolerance but higher EMI due to fixed-frequency PWM control | Choose MAX662ACSA+ only if ±4% output tolerance is mandatory and board revision is feasible |
Compared with LTC1262CS8 and MAX662ACSA+, the LTC1263IS8#PBF uniquely balances 60mA capability, pin compatibility with legacy designs, and inductorless simplicity - making it optimal for new 5V-based flash programming implementations where layout continuity and reliability are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the LTC1263IS8#PBF?
The LTC1263IS8#PBF guarantees 60mA continuous output current across the full operating temperature range (0°C to 70°C) and input voltage range (4.75V to 5.5V). Absolute maximum rating allows 90mA briefly, but sustained operation above 60mA risks regulation loss and thermal stress. This rating ensures reliable VPP delivery for JEDEC-compliant flash memory programming cycles without derating.
Can the LTC1263IS8#PBF be used to generate voltages other than +12V?
Yes - the LTC1263IS8#PBF's charge-pump architecture supports derived outputs: adding two diodes and two capacitors enables +19V (boosted) and –7V (inverted) rails, as documented in Linear's TA04 and TA05 schematics. These configurations retain the LTC1263IS8#PBF as the core 12V source but require external passive components and load balancing per application note guidance.
Is the LTC1263IS8#PBF pin-compatible with the LTC1262?
Yes - the LTC1263IS8#PBF shares identical 8-pin SO package dimensions and pin mapping with the LTC1262, including matching C1–, C1+, C2–, C2+, VCC, VOUT, GND, and SHDN assignments. This allows direct PCB-level substitution where higher output current (60mA vs. 30mA) is needed, provided thermal and layout margins accommodate the increased power dissipation of the LTC1263IS8#PBF.
What is the typical turn-on time for the LTC1263IS8#PBF?
The typical turn-on time for the LTC1263IS8#PBF is 600µs - defined as the time required for VOUT to rise from VCC to the lower regulation limit of 11.4V after SHDN is pulled low. This value assumes standard external capacitors (C1 = C2 = 0.47µF, CIN = COUT = 10µF) and is critical for meeting flash memory VPP setup timing in bootloader sequences using the LTC1263IS8#PBF.
Does the LTC1263IS8#PBF require a minimum load to maintain regulation?
No - the LTC1263IS8#PBF maintains regulation from 0mA to 60mA output current without requiring a minimum load. Its hysteresis-based oscillator gating adapts dynamically to load changes, and output voltage remains within ±5% (11.4V–12.6V) across the full specified load range, as verified in Electrical Characteristics Table and TPC02 performance curves.
