Product details
Overview
LTC1503IS8-2#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a fixed 2V output, inductorless switched-capacitor step-down DC/DC converter optimized for space-constrained battery-powered systems. It operates from 2.4V to 6V input, delivers up to 100mA output current, achieves 82.9% efficiency at 3.6V/100mA, and features 600kHz switching frequency with integrated soft-start and shutdown disconnect. It is used in handheld medical instruments requiring stable low-noise 2V supply from single Li-ion cells.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1503IS8-2#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1503IS8-2#TRPBF pinout, LTC1503IS8-2#TRPBF application, or LTC1503IS8-2#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its no-inductor architecture, 25µA quiescent current, industrial temperature range (–40°C to 85°C), SO-8 package compatibility, and mode-switching charge-pump regulation supporting 2-to-1, 3-to-2, and 1-to-1 conversion ratios.
Technical Context
The LTC1503IS8-2#TRPBF implements fractional switched-capacitor voltage conversion using three dynamically selected modes: 2-to-1 (VIN > 4V), 3-to-2 (3V < VIN < 4V), and 1-to-1 (VIN < 3V), each optimized for efficiency across varying input and load conditions. Internal comparators (COMP1 and COMP2) govern mode selection and regulation, with COMP2 enabling mode skipping under heavy load to maintain VOUT regulation.
Regulation is achieved by sensing a resistive divider of VOUT and enabling the internal charge pump network only as needed - enabling high efficiency even at light loads (e.g., 25µA operating current at zero load). The SHDN/SS pin serves dual functions: logic-level shutdown (threshold 0.35V typ) and soft-start control via external capacitor ramping of the internal reference voltage.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic SO (Small Outline, narrow 0.150"), RoHS-compliant, tape-and-reel (TRPBF suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VOUT (Pin 1) | Regulated output voltage node | Delivers fixed 2V; disconnected from VIN during shutdown; requires ≥10µF low-ESR ceramic/tantalum bypass to GND. |
| C1– (Pin 2) | Flying capacitor C1 negative terminal | Connects to negative plate of first external 1µF flying capacitor; part of charge-transfer path in all conversion modes. |
| C1+ (Pin 3) | Flying capacitor C1 positive terminal | Connects to positive plate of first external 1µF flying capacitor; forms series/parallel switching network with C2. |
| VIN (Pin 4) | Main power input | Accepts 2.4–6V; must be bypassed with ≥10µF low-ESR capacitor; supplies energy to both flying caps and output stage. |
| SHDN/SS (Pin 5) | Shutdown and soft-start control | Drives shutdown when <0.35V; open-drain compatible; external capacitor sets VOUT ramp rate to limit inrush current. |
| C2+ (Pin 6) | Flying capacitor C2 positive terminal | Connects to positive plate of second external 1µF flying capacitor; essential for 3-to-2 mode operation. |
| GND (Pin 7) | Analog and power ground reference | Must connect to low-impedance ground plane; shared return for VIN, VOUT, and flying caps to minimize noise coupling. |
| C2– (Pin 8) | Flying capacitor C2 negative terminal | Connects to negative plate of second external 1µF flying capacitor; completes dual-capacitor charge-pump topology. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-inductor architecture | Eliminates magnetic components and associated EMI, board area, and cost - ideal for ultra-thin portable designs. |
| Three-mode fractional conversion | Automatically selects 2-to-1, 3-to-2, or 1-to-1 charge-pump ratio to maximize efficiency across full VIN and load range. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar switched-capacitor step-down DC/DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC1503IS8-1.8 | Fixed 1.8V output (±4%), identical pinout, same SO-8 package and electrical specs otherwise. | Used where 1.8V logic rails (e.g., low-voltage FPGAs, memory interfaces) replace 2V requirements. | Select LTC1503IS8-1.8 only when system-level voltage tolerance mandates 1.8V; not a functional substitute for 2V loads. |
| LTC1515CMS8-2 | 2V output, but uses synchronous step-up/step-down topology with external inductor; higher 500mA output capability; 10µA IQ. | Suitable for higher-current applications where inductor integration is acceptable and efficiency above 90% is prioritized. | LTC1515CMS8-2 offers greater current headroom but requires inductor layout and lacks true inductorless simplicity of LTC1503IS8-2#TRPBF. |
Compared with LTC1503IS8-1.8, the LTC1503IS8-2#TRPBF provides 2V output essential for specific analog sensor and smart-card interfaces; compared with LTC1515CMS8-2, it trades peak current capacity for zero-inductor design, smaller footprint, and lower EMI - making it optimal for size- and noise-sensitive portable medical and consumer applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LTC1503IS8-2#TRPBF?
The LTC1503IS8-2#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input voltage of 6.5V across VIN, C1+, C1−, C2+, and C2− pins relative to GND. Its operational input range is specified from 2.4V to 6V. Exceeding 6V may damage internal switches; sustained operation above 6V violates the recommended operating conditions and voids parametric guarantees.
Does the LTC1503IS8-2#TRPBF require external feedback resistors to set the output voltage?
No, the LTC1503IS8-2#TRPBF does not require external feedback resistors. It is a fixed-output device with an internally trimmed 2.0V reference, delivering 2.0V ±4% (1.92V–2.08V) across 0–100mA load and full temperature range. This eliminates resistor placement, trimming, and drift concerns - simplifying design and improving long-term stability.
Can the LTC1503IS8-2#TRPBF drive a 100mA load continuously at 3.6V input?
Yes, the LTC1503IS8-2#TRPBF is rated for continuous 100mA output current at 3.6V input, achieving 82.9% typical efficiency and 25mVP-P ripple with proper 10µF ceramic COUT. Thermal performance remains within limits (θJA = 150°C/W for SO-8) under these conditions, provided adequate PCB copper area is used for heat dissipation.
How does the SHDN/SS pin function in the LTC1503IS8-2#TRPBF?
The SHDN/SS pin on the LTC1503IS8-2#TRPBF serves dual roles: applying <0.35V forces shutdown (5µA current draw), while connecting an external capacitor to GND enables soft-start. A 2µA internal pull-up ramps the pin voltage, which linearly controls the internal reference - allowing precise inrush current limiting (e.g., 4.7nF yields ~4ms VOUT ramp with 10µF COUT).
Is the LTC1503IS8-2#TRPBF pin-compatible with other members of the LTC1503 family?
Yes, the LTC1503IS8-2#TRPBF is pin-compatible with all SO-8 variants in the LTC1503 family, including LTC1503IS8-1.8, LTC1503CS8-2, and LTC1503CS8-1.8. All share identical pin assignments, electrical characteristics, and thermal behavior - enabling direct substitution where output voltage and temperature grade match system requirements.
