Product details
Overview
LTC1514IS8-5#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, features integrated low-battery comparator with open-drain LBO output, soft-start (4ms), and ±4% output regulation - used in battery-backed smart card readers and handheld instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1514IS8-5#PBF datasheet, LTC1514IS8-5#PBF pinout, LTC1514IS8-5#PBF application, or LTC1514IS8-5#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage flexibility (2.7–10V), shutdown current (10µA), low-battery detection threshold (1.145V), SO-8 thermal performance (θJA = 110°C/W), and charge-pump architecture enabling both boost and buck modes without inductors.
Technical Context
The LTC1514IS8-5#PBF uses a hysteresis-controlled charge pump with internal 1.145V reference and 650kHz oscillator to regulate VOUT at 5V. Its unique mode-switching logic automatically selects step-up (VIN < VOUT) or step-down (VIN > VOUT) operation based on VIN–VOUT differential, adjusting effective output impedance to limit inrush current.
Internal soft-start controls VOUT ramp rate (4ms to 5V with 10µF COUT), while the always-active low-battery comparator (LBI/LBO) remains functional in shutdown. Protection includes short-circuit current limiting (~12mA typ) and thermal shutdown at ~150°C, with recovery at ~140°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5V ±4% over 3.3V–10V VIN and 0–50mA load - enables direct replacement of linear regulators in 5V rail systems. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 10V - supports 3-cell NiCd (3.6V), 4-cell alkaline (6V), or wall adapter inputs without external regulation. |
| Max Output Current | 50mA continuous - sufficient for low-power microcontrollers, EEPROMs, and smart card ICs. |
| Quiescent Current | 60µA typical at VIN ≤ 5V - extends battery life in always-on monitoring circuits. |
| Shutdown Current | 10µA typical at VIN ≤ 5V - ensures minimal drain during system sleep states. |
| Switching Frequency | 650kHz nominal - allows use of small 0.22µF ceramic flying capacitor and reduces EMI compared to lower-frequency charge pumps. |
| Low-Battery Threshold | 1.145V ±3% on LBI pin - configurable via external resistor divider to monitor battery voltage down to ~2.7V with 3:1 scaling. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic SO (SO-8, narrow 0.150", θJA = 110°C/W). RoHS-compliant, lead-free (PBF suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SHDN (Pin 1) | Logic-controlled shutdown input | Active-high enable (VIH ≥ 1.6V); disconnects load from VIN in shutdown; must not float - tie to VIN if unused. |
| LBO (Pin 2) | Open-drain low-battery comparator output | Sinks current when LBI < 1.145V; requires external pull-up (50k–1MΩ) for interfacing with µC GPIO or reset logic. |
| LBI (Pin 3) | Low-battery comparator input | High-impedance node (±50nA bias) referenced to internal 1.145V; remains active in shutdown for battery monitoring. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Power and signal ground | Must connect to low-impedance ground plane to minimize noise coupling into charge pump and comparator paths. |
| C1– (Pin 5) | Flying capacitor negative terminal | Connects to negative side of 0.22µF ceramic flying capacitor; critical for charge transfer timing and ripple control. |
| C1+ (Pin 6) | Flying capacitor positive terminal | Connects to positive side of same flying capacitor; forms charge-transfer path with C1– and internal switches. |
| VIN (Pin 7) | Input supply voltage | Accepts 2.7–10V; requires ≥10µF low-ESR bypass capacitor near pin to suppress switching transients. |
| VOUT (Pin 8) | Regulated 5V output | Delivers up to 50mA; requires ≥10µF low-ESR output capacitor; ripple inherently present (100mVP-P) due to hysteresis regulation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Step-up/step-down charge pump | Single IC replaces separate boost/buck converters - eliminates inductors and simplifies layout for dual-mode battery-powered rails. |
| Integrated low-battery comparator | 1.145V reference with open-drain LBO remains active in shutdown - enables autonomous battery protection without external supervisor IC. |
| Soft-start circuitry | 4ms VOUT ramp time limits inrush current to ~12.5mA (with 10µF COUT) - prevents brownout during power-up or wake-from-shutdown. |
| Thermal and short-circuit protection | Shuts down at ~150°C junction temperature and limits short-circuit current to ~12mA - ensures survivability under fault conditions. |
| Ultra-low shutdown current | 10µA max at VIN ≤ 5V - reduces standby drain in battery backup systems where months of shelf life are required. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC1514CS8-5 | Same functionality and pinout, but rated for 0°C to 70°C commercial temperature range vs –40°C to 85°C for LTC1514IS8-5#PBF. | Not suitable for extended-temperature industrial or automotive environments where ambient exceeds 70°C. | Select LTC1514IS8-5#PBF for designs requiring guaranteed operation at –40°C or 85°C; choose CS8-5 only for cost-sensitive commercial-grade products. |
| LTC1515IS8-5 | Includes power-on reset (POR) output and adjustable output version (ADJ), but shares identical 5V fixed-output variant, SO-8 package, and 2.7–10V input range. | Provides additional system-level reset signaling; otherwise functionally interchangeable in 5V-regulated applications. | LTC1515IS8-5 is a drop-in alternative if POR functionality is needed; otherwise LTC1514IS8-5#PBF offers lower BOM count and identical core regulation performance. |
Compared with LTC1514CS8-5, the LTC1514IS8-5#PBF guarantees full specification compliance over –40°C to 85°C, making it essential for industrial deployments; versus LTC1515IS8-5, it omits POR but reduces component count and cost where reset signaling is handled externally.

FAQ
What is the input voltage range supported by the LTC1514IS8-5#PBF?
The LTC1514IS8-5#PBF supports an input voltage range of 2.7V to 10V. This wide range accommodates common battery chemistries including 3-cell NiCd/NiMH (3.6V), 4-cell alkaline (6V), and unregulated wall adapters. Operation below 2.7V is not specified and may result in loss of regulation or failure to start.
Does the LTC1514IS8-5#PBF require external inductors?
No, the LTC1514IS8-5#PBF uses a switched-capacitor (charge-pump) architecture and requires only three external capacitors: one 0.22µF flying capacitor (C1) and two 10µF low-ESR bypass capacitors (CIN and COUT). This eliminates inductors, reducing EMI, board area, and cost compared to inductive DC/DC solutions.
How does the low-battery comparator in the LTC1514IS8-5#PBF operate during shutdown?
The low-battery comparator in the LTC1514IS8-5#PBF remains fully active during shutdown - its 1.145V internal reference and LBI/LBO circuitry continue functioning even when SHDN is pulled low. This allows continuous battery monitoring and wake-up triggering without exiting shutdown, preserving ultra-low 10µA shutdown current.
What is the typical output voltage ripple of the LTC1514IS8-5#PBF under full load?
Under full 50mA load and with a 10µF low-ESR output capacitor, the LTC1514IS8-5#PBF exhibits typical output ripple of 100mV peak-to-peak. This ripple is inherent to its hysteresis-based regulation scheme. Using a larger COUT (e.g., 22µF) or adding a parallel 1µF ceramic capacitor reduces ripple amplitude and high-frequency components.
Can the LTC1514IS8-5#PBF be used in step-down mode only?
Yes - the LTC1514IS8-5#PBF automatically operates in step-down mode when VIN exceeds 5V (e.g., 6–10V inputs), functioning as a gated switch to regulate VOUT at 5V. Its internal sensing circuitry detects the VIN–VOUT differential and configures the charge pump accordingly, eliminating manual mode selection or external control logic.
