Product details
Overview
LTC1502CS8-3.3 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, requires no inductors, and features shutdown disconnect, 40µA operating current, and short-circuit protection-ideal for space-constrained portable medical devices and battery backup supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1502CS8-3.3 datasheet, LTC1502CS8-3.3 pinout, LTC1502CS8-3.3 application, or LTC1502CS8-3.3 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 0.9V start-up, 500kHz switching frequency, 50mVP-P output ripple at 10mA, thermal shutdown, and compatibility with 8-pin SO package layouts requiring <0.125in² PCB area.
Technical Context
The LTC1502CS8-3.3 implements a two-stage cascaded voltage doubler architecture: CP1 doubles VIN onto C2, which then serves as the input for CP2 to quadruple the voltage to VOUT. Regulation uses a hysteretic comparator (COMP1) that disables the oscillator when VOUT exceeds 3.43V and re-enables it below 3.17V.
Enhanced start-up employs 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 load. Shutdown is controlled via sampled logic on the C1–/SHDN pin every 16 clock cycles, with internal pull-up ensuring return to active mode upon external pull-down removal.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for the LTC1502CS8-3.3 to start up and regulate?
The LTC1502CS8-3.3 guarantees start-up at 0.9V across the commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C), with a typical minimum of 0.75V at 25°C. At –40°C to 85°C, start-up is specified at 1.1V. This enables reliable operation with aging alkaline or NiCd cells well into end-of-life discharge.
Does the LTC1502CS8-3.3 require external inductors?
No, the LTC1502CS8-3.3 is a capacitor-based quadrupler charge pump and requires zero inductors. It operates using five external capacitors (C1, C2, C3, CIN, COUT), all of which can be low-ESR ceramics or tantalums-reducing EMI, board area, and component count.
How does shutdown functionality work on the LTC1502CS8-3.3?
Shutdown is activated by pulling the C1–/SHDN pin (Pin 3) low via an external resistor (~100Ω) or open-drain FET. The internal circuit samples this pin every 16 clock cycles; when held below 0.2V, it stops the oscillator and disconnects VOUT from VIN, reducing current draw to 5µA max.
What protection features are integrated into the LTC1502CS8-3.3?
The LTC1502CS8-3.3 includes short-circuit protection (survives indefinite VOUT-to-GND fault), overtemperature shutdown (TJ > 125°C), and internal current limiting. During output short, it limits current to ~20mA by cycling CP2 enable/disable, preventing thermal damage.
Can the LTC1502CS8-3.3 be used with a 10µF output capacitor, and what is the expected ripple?
Yes-the LTC1502CS8-3.3 is characterized with a 10µF low-ESR output capacitor. Under 10mA load and VIN = 1.25V, output ripple is 50mVP-P. Using larger or lower-ESR capacitors (e.g., 22µF tantalum + 1µF ceramic) further reduces both low- and high-frequency ripple components.
