Product details
Overview
LTC1514CS8-5#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower switched-capacitor DC/DC converter that provides regulated 5V output via step-up or step-down operation across a 2.7V–10V input range. It delivers up to 50mA output current, features 650kHz switching frequency, 60µA operating current, and integrated low-battery comparator with active shutdown monitoring - used in battery-backed smart card readers and handheld instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1514CS8-5#PBF datasheet, LTC1514CS8-5#PBF pinout, LTC1514CS8-5#PBF application, or LTC1514CS8-5#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage flexibility (2.7–10V), soft-start turn-on time (4ms), ±4% output regulation at 50mA, low-battery detection threshold (1.145V), and SO-8 thermal performance (θJA = 110°C/W).
Technical Context
The LTC1514CS8-5#PBF implements a dual-mode charge pump architecture that automatically selects step-up (voltage doubler) or step-down (gated switch) operation based on VIN–VOUT differential. Internal voltage sensing adjusts effective output impedance to suppress inrush current during high-differential transitions.
Its uncommitted open-drain low-battery comparator remains active in shutdown, referenced to a 1.145V internal bandgap (±3%), enabling battery protection without external bias. Regulation relies on hysteresis-based burst-mode control, producing ~100mVP-P ripple essential for stable feedback loop operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5V ±4% over 3.3–10V input at 50mA load - ensures compatibility with 5V logic and analog subsystems. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 10V - supports 3-cell NiCd (3.6V), 4-cell alkaline (6V), and wall adapter inputs without external LDO pre-regulation. |
| Max Output Current | 50mA continuous - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, EEPROMs, and low-power sensors in portable devices. |
| Operating Current | 60µA typical at VIN ≤ 5V - extends battery life in always-on monitoring applications such as smart card interfaces. |
| Shutdown Current | 10µA typical at VIN ≤ 5V - enables ultra-low standby power in battery backup systems. |
| Switching Frequency | 650kHz nominal - allows use of small 0.22µF ceramic flying capacitor and minimizes EMI in space-constrained layouts. |
| Low-Battery Threshold | 1.145V ±3% with 1% hysteresis - provides precise undervoltage lockout for 3.6V Li-ion or 4.8V NiMH battery packs. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic SO (SO-8, narrow 0.150", θJA = 110°C/W). Pinout validated per LTC1514-5 top-view diagram and PIN FUNCTIONS section.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: SHDN | Shutdown control input | Logic-high ≥1.6V enables regulator; logic-low ≤0.4V disables and disconnects load from VIN - enables system-level power sequencing. |
| 2: LBO | Open-drain low-battery output | Sinks current when LBI < 1.145V - requires external pull-up (50k–1MΩ) to interface with µC GPIO or reset controller. |
| 3: LBI | Low-battery comparator input | Monitors battery voltage via resistor divider - comparator remains active in shutdown for deep-discharge prevention. |
| 4: GND | Power ground reference | Must connect to low-impedance ground plane - critical for ripple suppression and thermal dissipation in SO-8 package. |
| 5: C1– | Flying capacitor negative terminal | Connects to 0.22µF ceramic capacitor - forms charge-transfer path for step-up/step-down mode switching. |
| 6: C1+ | Flying capacitor positive terminal | Paired with C1– to complete flying cap network - polarity-sensitive; reverse connection degrades efficiency. |
| 7: VIN | Input supply voltage | Accepts 2.7–10V; bypass with ≥10µF low-ESR capacitor - high-impedance source requires CIN to prevent dropout during charge cycles. |
| 8: VOUT | Regulated 5V output | Internally fixed via resistor divider; bypass with ≥10µF low-ESR capacitor - ripple reduction requires ≥22µF if VIN > 8V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Step-up/step-down architecture | Automatically selects voltage-doubling or gated-switch mode based on VIN–VOUT differential - eliminates need for separate boost/buck ICs in multi-source systems. |
| Soft-start turn-on | 4ms typical VOUT ramp time - limits inrush to ≤12.5mA for 10µF COUT, preventing brownout in shared input rails. |
| Short-circuit protection | 12mA typical current limit at VOUT < 100mV - sustains indefinite short to GND without damage or thermal shutdown. |
| Overtemperature protection | Shuts down at ~150°C junction temperature; resumes at ~140°C - maintains reliability under sustained 50mA load at elevated ambient. |
| Three-capacitor design | Requires only CIN, COUT, and C1 (0.22µF) - reduces BOM count and PCB area vs inductor-based converters. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar switched-capacitor DC/DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC1515CS8-5#PBF | Includes reset output (RESET) and wider input range (2V–10V); same SO-8 package and pinout. | Required where power-on reset signaling is needed for µC initialization - not suitable if RESET functionality is unused and cost sensitivity is high. | Select LTC1515CS8-5#PBF only when system-level reset coordination is mandatory; otherwise LTC1514CS8-5#PBF offers lower cost and identical regulation performance. |
| LTC1517ES5#TRMPBF | SOT-23-5 package; 50mA output; no LBO/LBI pins; 60µA quiescent current; fixed 5V output. | Used in ultra-compact designs where board space is constrained and battery monitoring is handled externally - lacks integrated low-battery detection. | Choose LTC1517ES5#TRMPBF for space-limited applications without battery monitoring; LTC1514CS8-5#PBF remains optimal when LBO/LBI integration reduces external component count. |
Compared with LTC1515CS8-5#PBF, LTC1514CS8-5#PBF omits RESET but retains full low-battery comparator functionality in the same SO-8 footprint; versus LTC1517ES5#TRMPBF, it trades SOT-23 compactness for integrated battery monitoring and higher thermal capability - making LTC1514CS8-5#PBF the balanced choice for battery-powered instrumentation requiring both regulation and state awareness.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LTC1514CS8-5#PBF to regulate 5V output?
The LTC1514CS8-5#PBF requires a minimum input voltage of 2.7V to maintain 5V regulation at full 50mA load, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "VIN Operating Voltage" for the -5 variant. At lighter loads (≤15mA), regulation holds down to 2.7V input; operation below this threshold results in unregulated output or dropout. This makes LTC1514CS8-5#PBF compatible with three-cell NiCd/NiMH batteries across their full discharge curve.
Does LTC1514CS8-5#PBF require an inductor in its circuit design?
No, the LTC1514CS8-5#PBF uses a switched-capacitor (charge pump) topology and requires only three external capacitors: one flying capacitor (C1 = 0.22µF) and two bulk capacitors (CIN and COUT ≥10µF). This eliminates magnetic components, reduces EMI, and simplifies layout - a key differentiator from inductor-based buck/boost regulators. The absence of inductors is confirmed in the TYPICAL APPLICATION schematic and FEATURES list of the LTC1514-5 datasheet.
How does the low-battery comparator in LTC1514CS8-5#PBF function during shutdown mode?
The low-battery comparator in LTC1514CS8-5#PBF remains fully active during shutdown: LBI continues sensing input voltage, and LBO pulls low when LBI falls below 1.145V (±3%). This allows continuous battery monitoring without waking the main regulator - critical for battery preservation in backup systems. The LTC1514CS8-5#PBF datasheet explicitly states "comparator and 1.145V reference are kept alive in shutdown," confirming autonomous operation independent of SHDN state.
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for LTC1514CS8-5#PBF?
The absolute maximum input voltage for LTC1514CS8-5#PBF is 12V, as stated in the ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS table. However, the recommended operating maximum is 10V - exceeding this risks violating the ±4% output regulation spec and increases output ripple beyond 100mVP-P. For inputs >8V, the datasheet mandates ≥22µF COUT to maintain ripple performance. Therefore, LTC1514CS8-5#PBF is rated for continuous operation up to 10V, with 12V permissible only as a non-repetitive stress condition.
Can LTC1514CS8-5#PBF be used in step-down-only applications?
Yes, LTC1514CS8-5#PBF operates natively in step-down mode when VIN exceeds 5V (e.g., 6–10V), using gated-switch architecture to regulate VOUT to 5V. Its dual-mode design automatically engages step-down operation without external configuration - confirmed by the BLOCK DIAGRAM and APPLICATIONS INFORMATION section describing "step-down gated switch" behavior. This eliminates manual mode selection and ensures seamless transition between step-up (VIN < 5V) and step-down (VIN > 5V) as input voltage varies.
