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, features 40µA operating current and 5µA shutdown current, and requires no inductors-only five external capacitors. It is used in space-constrained, battery-powered medical and portable instrumentation.
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, shutdown-controlled load disconnection, short-circuit protection, compact PCB footprint (<0.125in²), and MSOP-8 package compatibility with low ESR capacitor requirements.
Technical Context
The LTC1502CS8-3.3 implements a two-stage cascaded voltage doubler architecture: CP1 doubles VIN to charge C2, then CP2 doubles the C2 voltage to produce VOUT. Regulation is achieved via a hysteretic comparator (COMP1) that disables the 500kHz oscillator when VOUT exceeds 3.43V and re-enables it when VOUT drops below 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 at 0.9V input with load. Shutdown is edge-sampled every 16 clock cycles; pulling C1–/SHDN below 0.55V triggers oscillator halt and internal switch isolation between VIN and VOUT.

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–5.5V); 15mA output; same MSOP-8 package | Requires ≥2.5V input; unsuitable for sub-1V alkaline start-up | Select LTC1517-3.3 only if input is ≥2.5V and higher output current is needed |
| LTC1682 | Doubler (not quadrupler); 3.3V output only with external resistor divider; 50mA output; lower noise (60µVRMS) | Cannot generate 3.3V from <1.65V input; needs external feedback network | Choose LTC1682 for low-noise analog rails where input ≥1.65V and higher current is required |
Compared with LTC1517-3.3 and LTC1682, the LTC1502CS8-3.3 uniquely supports guaranteed 0.9V start-up and true single-cell 3.3V generation without external resistive feedback-making it the only drop-in solution for ultra-low-voltage medical and portable devices where battery voltage falls below 1V.

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 over the commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C), with testing performed under 100kΩ load on VOUT. At –40°C to 85°C, start-up is specified at 1.1V. This enables reliable operation across the full discharge curve of a single alkaline or NiCd cell, making the LTC1502CS8-3.3 especially suited for battery-powered medical devices where voltage decay must not interrupt function.
How does the LTC1502CS8-3.3 achieve short-circuit protection without external components?
The LTC1502CS8-3.3 uses internal COMP2 hysteresis to limit C2 voltage to ~1.4×VIN during output shorts, forcing CP2 into high-impedance mode cyclically. This self-regulating behavior caps short-circuit current at 20mA typical and allows indefinite VOUT-to-GND faults without damage or thermal shutdown-no fuses, current-sense resistors, or external protection circuitry are needed for the LTC1502CS8-3.3.
Can the LTC1502CS8-3.3 be used with lithium coin cells such as CR2032?
Yes-the LTC1502CS8-3.3 operates across 0.9V–1.8V, matching the nominal 3V and discharged ~2.0V of CR2032 cells when stepped down via resistive divider or Zener clamp. However, direct connection is not recommended due to overvoltage risk; a simple 2-resistor divider reducing CR2032 output to ≤1.8V enables safe, efficient use of the LTC1502CS8-3.3 with coin cells in compact wearables and sensors.
What is the purpose of the C1–/SHDN pin's sampling architecture?
The C1–/SHDN pin is sampled once every 16 clock cycles (≈32µs at 500kHz) to avoid noise-induced false shutdown. During the sample window, an internal pull-up current asserts logic high if no external pull-down is present-ensuring robust operation in noisy environments. This architecture makes the LTC1502CS8-3.3 highly immune to ESD transients and supply ripple, critical for handheld medical instruments where reliability is non-negotiable.
Is the LTC1502CS8-3.3 pin-compatible with other members of the LTC1502 family?
Yes-the LTC1502CS8-3.3 shares identical pinout and package (MSOP-8) with LTC1502IS8-3.3 (industrial grade) and LTC1502CMS8-3.3 (commercial grade). All variants use the same C2/C1+/C1–/SHDN/GND/VIN/C3+/C3–/VOUT assignment and electrical interface, enabling seamless grade substitution without PCB redesign-provided temperature and reliability requirements align with the selected variant's specification.
