Product details
Overview
LTC1515CS8-3/5#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower switched capacitor DC/DC converter that provides selectable 3V or 5V regulated output via logic-controlled daisy-chained operation, supports 2V–10V input, delivers up to 50mA, and integrates open-drain power-on reset - used in GSM SIM interface power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1515CS8-3/5#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1515CS8-3/5#TRPBF pinout, LTC1515CS8-3/5#TRPBF application, or LTC1515CS8-3/5#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range compatibility, programmable dual-output voltage selection, shutdown current <1µA, 650kHz switching frequency, and SO-8 thermal performance (θJA = 110°C/W).
Technical Context
The LTC1515CS8-3/5#TRPBF implements a step-up/step-down charge pump architecture with automatic mode switching based on VIN–VOUT differential sensing. It uses internal resistor networks and a logic-controlled 5/3 pin to select between 3V and 5V outputs without external feedback components.
Regulation relies on comparator hysteresis (±4% typical), internal 1.232V reference, and soft-start circuitry limiting turn-on time to 4ms. POR activation requires VOUT to remain within ±6.5% of regulation for ≥200ms before release.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Selectable 3V or 5V via 5/3 pin logic level; no external resistors required |
| Input Voltage Range | 2V to 10V - supports single-cell Li-ion, multi-cell NiCd, and wide industrial supply rails |
| Max Output Current | 50mA at 5V output - sufficient for SIM card, smart card, and local microcontroller rail generation |
| Switching Frequency | 650kHz typical - enables use of small 0.22µF flying capacitor and reduces EMI filtering burden |
| Quiescent Current | 60µA typical - extends battery life in portable equipment during active operation |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA at VIN ≤ 5V - critical for ultra-low-power standby modes in handheld devices |
| Power-On Reset Delay | 200ms typical after VOUT regulation - ensures reliable microcontroller initialization timing |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic SO (SO-8, narrow 0.150", θJA = 110°C/W). RoHS-compliant, tape-and-reel (#TRPBF).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - SHDN | Shutdown control input | Logic high (≥1.6V) enables regulator; logic low disables output and reduces ICC to <1µA |
| 2 - POR | Open-drain power-on reset output | Pulls low until VOUT stabilizes within ±6.5% for ≥200ms; requires external pull-up to VOUT |
| 3 - 5/3 | Output voltage select input | High = 5V output; low = 3V output; must not float - tie to VIN or GND if unused |
| 4 - GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for charge pump, control logic, and POR; connect to low-impedance ground plane |
| 5 - C1– | Flying capacitor negative terminal | Connects to negative side of 0.22µF ceramic flying capacitor; critical for charge transfer efficiency |
| 6 - C1+ | Flying capacitor positive terminal | Connects to positive side of 0.22µF ceramic flying capacitor; forms core of switched-capacitor topology |
| 7 - VIN | Input supply voltage | Accepts 2V–10V; bypass with ≥10µF low-ESR capacitor adjacent to pin to suppress ripple and inrush |
| 8 - VOUT | Regulated output voltage | Delivers selected 3V or 5V; bypass with ≥10µF low-ESR capacitor to maintain ≤100mVP-P ripple |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-output voltage selection | Hardware-selectable 3V/5V via single logic pin - eliminates need for external feedback network or configuration EEPROM |
| Wide-input-range charge pump | Operates from 2V to 10V input while maintaining ±4% regulation - supports legacy and emerging battery chemistries |
| Integrated power-on reset | Open-drain POR with 200ms delay ensures deterministic microcontroller boot sequencing without external supervisor IC |
| Soft-start current limiting | 4ms controlled VOUT ramp limits inrush to ~12.5mA into 10µF - prevents brownout of upstream regulators during startup |
| Thermal & short-circuit protection | Shuts down at ~150°C junction temperature and limits short-circuit current to 12mA typ - enables robust field operation |

FAQ
What is the function of the 5/3 pin on the LTC1515CS8-3/5#TRPBF?
The 5/3 pin on the LTC1515CS8-3/5#TRPBF selects the regulated output voltage: a logic high (≥1.6V) configures VOUT to 5V, while a logic low (≤1.0V) configures it to 3V. This pin must not be left floating - tie to VIN or GND if unused. The LTC1515CS8-3/5#TRPBF uses internal resistor networks, so no external feedback components are needed for this selection.
Does the LTC1515CS8-3/5#TRPBF require external capacitors, and what values are recommended?
Yes, the LTC1515CS8-3/5#TRPBF requires three external capacitors: a 0.22µF ceramic flying capacitor (C1) between C1+ and C1–, and ≥10µF low-ESR input (CIN) and output (COUT) capacitors. For VIN > 8V, COUT should be ≥22µF to maintain ≤100mVP-P ripple. All capacitors must be placed close to their respective pins for optimal noise suppression and regulation stability.
How does the power-on reset (POR) feature of the LTC1515CS8-3/5#TRPBF operate?
The POR pin on the LTC1515CS8-3/5#TRPBF is an open-drain output that remains low until VOUT reaches and sustains regulation within ±6.5% for ≥200ms (typical). It pulls low again during shutdown or power loss. An external pull-up resistor to VOUT is required. This behavior ensures reliable microcontroller reset timing without additional supervision circuitry - a key design benefit of the LTC1515CS8-3/5#TRPBF.
Can the LTC1515CS8-3/5#TRPBF operate with input voltages below 2.7V?
Yes, the LTC1515CS8-3/5#TRPBF supports VIN as low as 2.0V for 3V/3.3V output configurations and 2.7V for 5V output, per Electrical Characteristics table. At 2.0V input, it delivers regulated 3V output up to 50mA. Operation below 2.0V is outside specification and may result in loss of regulation or increased ripple - the LTC1515CS8-3/5#TRPBF is not characterized for sub-2.0V operation.
Is the LTC1515CS8-3/5#TRPBF pin-compatible with other parts in the LTC1515 family?
Yes, all LTC1515 variants in SO-8 package - including LTC1515CS8-3/5#TRPBF, LTC1515CS8-3.3/5#TRPBF, and LTC1515IS8-3/5#TRPBF - share identical pinout, footprint, and thermal characteristics. Differences are limited to output voltage options (3V/5V vs. 3.3V/5V) and temperature grade (Commercial vs. Industrial). This allows direct substitution in existing layouts when voltage or temp requirements change.
