Product details
Overview
LTC1516CS8#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower regulated 5V charge pump DC/DC converter designed for low-current, battery-powered systems. It accepts 2V–5V input, delivers ±4% regulated 5V output up to 50mA (at VIN ≥ 3V), and draws only 12µA typical quiescent current with no load. Its dual-mode (doubler/tripler) operation, thermal shutdown, and 8-pin SO package make it ideal for smart card readers and Li-ion backup supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1516CS8#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1516CS8#TRPBF pinout, LTC1516CS8#TRPBF application, or LTC1516CS8#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include ultralow IQ (<1µA in shutdown), input voltage range (2V–5V), regulated 5V ±4% output tolerance, 600kHz internal oscillator, and SO-8 package compatibility with industrial temperature range (–40°C to 85°C).
Technical Context
The LTC1516CS8#TRPBF uses a switched-capacitor topology with two flying capacitors (C1, C2) and internal 2-phase nonoverlapping clocking at 600kHz to generate regulated 5V output without inductors. It dynamically selects between doubler and tripler modes based on VIN and load conditions-tripler mode activates below VIN = 2.55V or under heavy load droop-to maintain >70% efficiency down to 10µA load.
Regulation is achieved via internal resistor divider feedback and three comparators (COMP1–COMP3) that control charge pump enable/disable timing and mode selection. The device includes CMOS-level SHDN input with ~VIN/2 threshold, full load disconnect in shutdown, and thermal protection that cycles between 135°C shutdown and 115°C restart during sustained VOUT short-circuit.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic SO (narrow, 0.150" width), JEDEC MS-012AC compliant, rated for –40°C to +85°C industrial operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| C1– (Pin 8) | Flying capacitor 1 negative terminal | Completes charge path for C1 during phase 1; must be connected directly to C1– with minimal trace inductance |
| SHDN (Pin 7) | Active-high CMOS shutdown control | Drives high to disconnect VOUT from VIN and reduce ICC to <1µA; requires defined logic level, no floating |
| GND (Pin 6) | Analog and power ground reference | Common return for all capacitors and internal regulators; must connect to low-impedance ground plane |
| C2– (Pin 5) | Flying capacitor 2 negative terminal | Completes charge path for C2 during phase 1; shares GND net but routed separately from C1– |
| C1+ (Pin 1) | Flying capacitor 1 positive terminal | Connects to top plate of C1 during discharge phase; critical for voltage stacking in tripler mode |
| VIN (Pin 2) | Main input supply (2V–5V) | Feeds internal oscillator, control logic, and charge pump; requires 10µF low-ESR capacitor within 5mm |
| VOUT (Pin 3) | Regulated 5V output | Delivers up to 50mA; output ripple ≤100mVP-P with 10µF low-ESR capacitor; disconnected in shutdown |
| C2+ (Pin 4) | Flying capacitor 2 positive terminal | Stacks with C1+ and VIN in tripler mode; determines output voltage headroom and efficiency trade-off |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar regulated charge pump DC/DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC1144CS8#PBF | 20mA max output, 8µA shutdown current, supports up to 20V input; lacks tripler mode and thermal shutdown | Better suited for higher-input-voltage, lower-current applications (e.g., industrial sensor front-ends); not recommended for 2V–3V battery inputs | Select LTC1144CS8#PBF only when input exceeds 5V or thermal robustness is secondary to ultra-low shutdown IQ |
| MAX682ESA+ | Fixed 5V output, 25mA max, 15µA operating current, no shutdown pin; uses single flying capacitor | Simpler layout but no load disconnect or programmable shutdown; limited to light-load, space-constrained designs | Choose MAX682ESA+ only for cost-sensitive, non-shutdown applications where 25mA output suffices and thermal protection is handled externally |
Compared with LTC1144CS8#PBF and MAX682ESA+, the LTC1516CS8#TRPBF uniquely combines 50mA output, tripler-mode efficiency optimization, thermal shutdown, and true load disconnect-making it the only option among the three capable of reliable 2V–5V operation with industrial temperature support and short-circuit survivability.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the LTC1516CS8#TRPBF?
The LTC1516CS8#TRPBF delivers up to 50mA continuous output current when input voltage is ≥3V and ambient temperature is within the industrial range (–40°C to 85°C). At VIN ≥2V but <3V, maximum output is 20mA. These limits are enforced by internal thermal design and are specified in the Electrical Characteristics table with derating above 70°C ambient.
Does the LTC1516CS8#TRPBF require an external inductor?
No, the LTC1516CS8#TRPBF is a switched-capacitor (charge pump) DC/DC converter and operates without any inductors. It uses two external 0.22µF flying capacitors and two 10µF bulk capacitors (at VIN and VOUT) to achieve regulation-enabling ultra-compact, EMI-friendly layouts unsuitable for inductive solutions.
How does the LTC1516CS8#TRPBF handle short-circuit conditions on VOUT?
The LTC1516CS8#TRPBF survives continuous VOUT-to-GND short circuits via on-chip thermal shutdown. When junction temperature exceeds 135°C, the charge pump disables; it automatically re-enables once temperature falls to 115°C. This cycling prevents damage and allows safe operation until the fault is removed-no external current limiting is required.
What is the purpose of the SHDN pin on the LTC1516CS8#TRPBF?
The SHDN pin on the LTC1516CS8#TRPBF is an active-high CMOS input that disconnects VOUT from VIN and reduces supply current to <1µA when driven high. It must be driven to a defined logic level (not left floating) and accepts voltages up to 6V-even exceeding VIN-enabling direct interfacing with 3.3V or 5V GPIOs regardless of input rail.
Can the LTC1516CS8#TRPBF operate from a 2V input and still regulate 5V output?
Yes, the LTC1516CS8#TRPBF is fully specified to operate from 2V input and deliver regulated 5V ±4% output up to 20mA. Below VIN = 2.55V, it forces tripler mode to maintain regulation and efficiency-verified across the full industrial temperature range with appropriate 0.22µF flying capacitors and 10µF bulk capacitors.
