Product details
Overview
LTC1515IS8#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower switched capacitor DC/DC converter supporting step-up or step-down voltage conversion with programmable 3.3V/5V output, ±4% regulation over 2V–10V input, 650kHz switching frequency, and integrated open-drain power-on reset (POR). It delivers up to 50mA output current and targets SIM interface and smart card power in portable equipment.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1515IS8#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1515IS8#TRPBF pinout, LTC1515IS8#TRPBF application, or LTC1515IS8#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range compatibility (2V–10V), dual-output voltage selection logic (3.3V/5V via 5/3 pin), shutdown current (<1µA), soft-start timing (4ms), and SO-8 thermal performance (θJA = 110°C/W).
Technical Context
The LTC1515IS8#TRPBF implements a daisy-chainable charge pump architecture that auto-selects step-up (doubling when VIN < VOUT) or step-down (gated switch when VIN > VOUT) mode based on real-time VIN–VOUT differential sensing. Internal hysteresis enables burst-mode regulation with ~100mVP-P ripple at full load.
Its POR circuit asserts low for ≥200ms after VOUT reaches within 6.5% of regulation, and features short-circuit protection (12–40mA limit) and thermal shutdown (~150°C trip). The 5/3 pin selects 3.3V or 5V output using internal resistor networks-no external feedback required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2V to 10V - supports single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.4V), 3-cell NiCd (3.6V), or 4-cell NiCd (4.8V) without external regulators. |
| Output Voltage Options | Programmable 3.3V or 5V - selected by logic level on 5/3 pin; no external resistors needed. |
| Max Output Current | 50mA - sufficient for GSM SIM card interfaces and low-power microcontroller peripherals. |
| Switching Frequency | 650kHz (typ) - enables use of small 0.22µF flying capacitor and reduces EMI compared to lower-frequency charge pumps. |
| Quiescent Current | 60µA (typ) - extends battery life in always-on portable devices with infrequent wake cycles. |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA at VIN ≤ 5V - ensures negligible drain during system sleep states. |
| POR Delay | 200ms (typ) after VOUT regulation - provides reliable reset timing for microcontrollers and secure elements. |
| Regulation Accuracy | ±4% over temperature - meets tight tolerance requirements for SIM card voltage compliance (ETSI TS 102 221). |
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; must not float. |
| 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 | High = 5V output; low = 3.3V output; referenced to GND; must be driven, not left floating. |
| 4: GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for charge pump, POR, and logic; requires low-impedance connection to PCB 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 energy transfer. |
| 7: VIN | Input supply voltage | Accepts 2V–10V; bypass with ≥10µF low-ESR capacitor near pin to suppress input ripple and inrush transients. |
| 8: VOUT | Regulated output | Delivers stable 3.3V or 5V; bypass with ≥10µF low-ESR capacitor; supports up to 50mA continuous load. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto-configuring step-up/step-down operation | Eliminates need for separate boost/buck ICs in multi-rail portable systems; adapts seamlessly across wide input range. |
| Daisy-chainable POR outputs | Enables synchronized reset sequencing across multiple LTC1515IS8#TRPBF units in multi-SIM or multi-card reader designs. |
| Integrated soft-start (4ms) | Limits inrush current to ~12.5mA into 10µF COUT, preventing brownout of weak input sources like coin cells. |
| Thermal and short-circuit protection | Survives indefinite GND short and self-recovers from junction temperatures up to 150°C without latch-off. |
| Only three external capacitors required | Reduces BOM count and board area vs. inductor-based converters; uses standard 0.22µF (C1), 10µF (CIN), 10µF (COUT). |
| Logic-compatible 5/3 and SHDN inputs | Operates with 3V logic across full 2V–10V VIN range-no level shifters needed for MCU GPIO interfacing. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LTC1515IS8#TRPBF?
The LTC1515IS8#TRPBF delivers up to 50mA continuous output current when configured for 5V output with VIN ≥ 3.3V. At 3.3V output and VIN ≥ 3V, it sustains 50mA; derating applies below 3V input. Short-circuit current is internally limited to 12–40mA, protecting the device during fault conditions without external current-sense circuitry.
How does the 5/3 pin select between 3.3V and 5V output on the LTC1515IS8#TRPBF?
On the LTC1515IS8#TRPBF, the 5/3 pin is a logic-controlled input: a high signal (≥1.6V) forces VOUT to regulate at 5V, while a low signal (≤1.0V) selects 3.3V. This pin must be actively driven-floating is prohibited-and operates reliably across the full 2V–10V input range without level shifting.
Does the LTC1515IS8#TRPBF require an external feedback resistor network?
No, the LTC1515IS8#TRPBF does not require external feedback resistors. Unlike the adjustable LTC1515 variant, this part integrates internal resistor networks for 3.3V/5V selection via the 5/3 pin. External resistors are only needed for the base LTC1515 (not the -3.3/5 suffix), making the LTC1515IS8#TRPBF simpler to implement in dual-voltage applications.
What is the purpose and timing behavior of the POR pin on the LTC1515IS8#TRPBF?
The POR (Power-On Reset) pin on the LTC1515IS8#TRPBF is an open-drain output that remains low until VOUT reaches and sustains regulation within 6.5% for 200ms (typical). It asserts low again during shutdown or power loss. An external pull-up resistor to VOUT is required to generate a clean active-high reset signal for microcontrollers or FPGAs.
Can the LTC1515IS8#TRPBF operate from a single 2.7V Li-ion cell?
Yes, the LTC1515IS8#TRPBF operates from a single 2.7V Li-ion cell across its full discharge range (down to 2.0V). In step-up mode, it generates stable 3.3V or 5V output with ±4% regulation. Efficiency exceeds 80% at 10mA load with 2.7V input, and quiescent current remains at 60µA-enabling multi-year battery life in low-duty-cycle portable devices.
