Product details
Overview
LTC1502CMS8-3.3 from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a regulated quadrupler charge pump DC/DC converter designed to generate a stable 3.3V ±4% output from a single alkaline or NiCd cell (0.9V–1.8V input). It delivers up to 10mA output current at VIN ≥1V, operates with only five external capacitors (no inductors), and features 40µA typical operating current and 5µA shutdown current. It is used in space-constrained, battery-powered medical and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1502CMS8-3.3 datasheet, LTC1502CMS8-3.3 pinout, LTC1502CMS8-3.3 application, or LTC1502CMS8-3.3 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 0.9V start-up, shutdown-controlled load disconnection, short-circuit protection, MSOP-8 footprint compatibility, and efficiency above 77% at 10mA.
Technical Context
The LTC1502CMS8-3.3 implements a two-stage cascaded voltage doubler architecture: CP1 doubles VIN onto C2, which then serves as the input for CP2 to produce the final 3.3V output. Regulation is achieved via a hysteresis-based comparator (COMP1) that disables the 500kHz oscillator when VOUT exceeds the upper trip point (3.43V) and re-enables it when VOUT falls below the lower trip point (3.17V).
Enhanced start-up uses COMP2 to monitor the divided C2 voltage versus VIN, forcing CP2 into high-impedance until C2 rises above VIN-enabling reliable operation down to 0.9V with no external load on C2. Shutdown is edge-triggered every 16 clock cycles via sampling of the C1–/SHDN pin, with internal pull-up ensuring automatic recovery when the external pull-down is removed.

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar regulated charge pump DC/DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC1517-3.3 | Higher input range (2.5V–4.5V); 15mA output; uses different charge pump topology (doubler + LDO) | Requires ≥2.5V input; unsuitable for single-cell alkaline but better for Li-ion or dual-cell NiMH | Select LTC1517-3.3 only when input exceeds 2.5V and higher output current is needed |
| LTC1682 | Doubler-only (not quadrupler); 3.3V output derived from 1.65V–3.6V input; 50mA output; 60µVRMS noise | Lacks single-cell start-up capability; optimized for low-noise analog rails, not ultra-low-VIN digital supplies | Choose LTC1682 for noise-sensitive analog signal chains where input ≥1.65V and 3.3V regulation is secondary to spectral purity |
Compared with LTC1517-3.3 and LTC1682, the LTC1502CMS8-3.3 uniquely supports sub-1V start-up and delivers regulated 3.3V from a single alkaline cell-making it irreplaceable in true single-cell, space-constrained, long-life portable medical and consumer applications.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for the LTC1502CMS8-3.3 to start up and regulate?
The LTC1502CMS8-3.3 guarantees start-up at 0.9V across the full commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C). At –40°C to 85°C, start-up is specified at 1.1V. This is verified by testing with a 100kΩ load on VOUT and ensures reliable operation as a single alkaline cell discharges from 1.5V down to endpoint.
Does the LTC1502CMS8-3.3 require external inductors?
No, the LTC1502CMS8-3.3 is an inductorless charge pump DC/DC converter. It uses only five external capacitors: two 1µF ceramic flying capacitors (C1, C3) and three 10µF low-ESR bulk capacitors (CIN, C2, COUT). This eliminates magnetic EMI, simplifies layout, and reduces solution size to under 0.125in².
How does shutdown work on the LTC1502CMS8-3.3, and what happens to the load during shutdown?
Driving the C1–/SHDN pin low (≤0.2V) places the LTC1502CMS8-3.3 into shutdown mode. During shutdown, the internal oscillator stops, CP1 and CP2 switches go high-impedance, and VOUT is actively disconnected from VIN. This prevents battery drain through downstream circuitry and enables true zero-current standby.
Is the LTC1502CMS8-3.3 protected against output short circuits?
Yes, the LTC1502CMS8-3.3 includes built-in short-circuit protection. When VOUT is shorted to GND, internal circuitry limits peak output current to under 20mA and cycles CP2 to prevent thermal runaway. The device survives indefinite short-circuit conditions without damage or latch-up-no external protection components are required.
What is the recommended output capacitor for the LTC1502CMS8-3.3 to achieve ≤50mVP-P ripple at 10mA load?
To achieve ≤50mVP-P output ripple at 10mA with VIN = 1.25V, the LTC1502CMS8-3.3 requires a ≥10µF low-ESR capacitor on VOUT-typically a 10µF to 22µF tantalum or polymer capacitor. For lowest high-frequency noise, pair it with a 1µF to 3.3µF ceramic capacitor in parallel. Avoid capacitors with ESR > 0.5Ω.
