Product details
Overview
LTC1517CS5-3.3#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower, regulated 3.3V switched-capacitor DC/DC charge pump converter in a 5-pin SOT-23 package. It delivers ±4% regulated output over 2V–4.4V input, draws only 6µA typical no-load current, supports up to 15mA output at VIN ≥ 2.5V, and operates at 700kHz with no inductors-ideal for single-cell Li-ion battery-powered handheld instruments.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1517CS5-3.3#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1517CS5-3.3#TRPBF pinout, LTC1517CS5-3.3#TRPBF application, or LTC1517CS5-3.3#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include ultralow quiescent current, SOT-23 footprint constraints, 3.3V regulation tolerance, short-circuit survivability, and capacitor-based design simplicity without magnetics.
Technical Context
The LTC1517CS5-3.3#TRPBF implements Burst Mode™ operation using a 2-phase nonoverlapping 700kHz oscillator to control internal charge pump switches. Regulation is achieved via an internal 1.25V reference and resistor-divider feedback sensing, enabling hysteresis-based on/off control of the flying capacitor (C1) charging cycle.
It integrates thermal shutdown (trip ~160°C, recovery ~145°C) and survives indefinite VOUT-to-GND short circuits while drawing 20–150mA from VIN. The architecture eliminates inductors and relies solely on three external capacitors: 0.1µF flying (C1), ≥3.3µF input bypass (CIN), and ≥3.3µF output (COUT).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.3V ±4% (3.17–3.43V), tightly regulated across full input range and load conditions |
| No-Load Input Current | 6µA typical (2V–4.4V), enabling >1-year battery life in µA-level standby systems |
| Max Output Current | 15mA at VIN ≥ 2.5V; sufficient for low-power logic, sensors, and RF bias rails |
| Switching Frequency | 700kHz typical, enabling compact ceramic capacitor selection and predictable EMI profile |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.0V to 4.4V, fully supporting discharge curve of single Li-ion or Li-polymer cells |
| Output Ripple | 75mVP-P max (VIN = 2.5V, IOUT = 8mA, COUT = 3.3µF); reduced to <2mVP-P with 3.3µF + 1µF parallel COUT |
| Short-Circuit Protection | Indefinite VOUT-to-GND short survival with automatic thermal cycling-no latch-up or damage |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-lead plastic SOT-23 (SC-74A), 2.80–3.00 mm × 1.90 mm × 1.10 mm, surface-mount, RoHS-compliant, tape-and-reel (TRPBF).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 1) | Input voltage supply terminal | Accepts 2V–4.4V; requires ≥3.3µF low-ESR bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin for stability |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power ground reference | Must connect to low-impedance ground plane to minimize noise coupling and thermal resistance |
| VOUT (Pin 3) | Regulated 3.3V output | Delivers up to 15mA; requires ≥3.3µF low-ESR output capacitor for ripple suppression and transient response |
| C1+ (Pin 4) | Flying capacitor positive node | Connects to positive plate of 0.1µF ceramic flying capacitor (C1); critical for charge transfer timing |
| C1– (Pin 5) | Flying capacitor negative node | Connects to negative plate of C1; forms switched-capacitor doubler stage with C1+ and internal switches |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar regulated charge pump applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX680ESA+ | Unregulated ±5V dual-output charge pump; no internal regulation, higher ICC (120µA), requires external feedback for 3.3V | Requires additional components (resistors, op-amp) to achieve 3.3V regulation; larger solution size | Choose only if dual-rail (±V) output is required and regulation precision is secondary |
| TPS60110IDBVR | Regulated 3.3V output, but 100µA typical ICC, 25mA max IOUT, and 1MHz switching frequency | Higher quiescent current reduces battery life in ultra-low-power designs; larger 6-pin SOT-23-6 footprint | Prefer LTC1517CS5-3.3#TRPBF where <10µA ICC and minimal board area are mandatory |
Compared with MAX680ESA+ and TPS60110IDBVR, the LTC1517CS5-3.3#TRPBF uniquely combines sub-10µA quiescent current, ±4% regulation, SOT-23-5 footprint, and fault resilience-making it optimal for space- and energy-constrained single-rail systems where long-term battery autonomy is critical.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for the LTC1517CS5-3.3#TRPBF to regulate at 3.3V?
The LTC1517CS5-3.3#TRPBF maintains regulation down to 2.0V input across its full operating temperature range. At VIN = 2.0V, it delivers 8mA output current while holding VOUT within 3.17–3.43V (±4%). Below 2.0V, regulation ceases and VOUT drops linearly with VIN.
Can the LTC1517CS5-3.3#TRPBF drive a 15mA load continuously?
Yes-the LTC1517CS5-3.3#TRPBF supports continuous 15mA output when VIN ≥ 2.5V and ambient temperature remains ≤85°C. At VIN = 2.5V and TA = 85°C, output current degrades to ~12mA due to thermal derating; full 15mA is guaranteed at TA = 25°C per datasheet specifications.
Does the LTC1517CS5-3.3#TRPBF require external feedback resistors to set output voltage?
No-the LTC1517CS5-3.3#TRPBF has a factory-trimmed internal feedback network that fixes the regulated output at 3.3V ±4%. No external resistors or compensation components are needed; only three external capacitors (CIN, COUT, C1) are required for operation.
How does thermal protection operate in the LTC1517CS5-3.3#TRPBF during sustained short-circuit conditions?
During a VOUT-to-GND short, the LTC1517CS5-3.3#TRPBF draws 20–150mA from VIN, causing junction temperature to rise. When TJ exceeds ~160°C, internal thermal shutdown disables the charge pump. Once TJ falls to ~145°C, operation resumes-cycling indefinitely without damage or latch-up until the short is removed.
What is the recommended flying capacitor value and type for the LTC1517CS5-3.3#TRPBF?
The datasheet specifies a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor for C1 (flying capacitor), placed between C1+ (Pin 4) and C1– (Pin 5). X7R or C0G dielectrics are preferred for stable capacitance and low ESR; 0.22µF may be used for improved efficiency at higher loads, but 0.1µF is optimal for ultralow-IQ operation in the LTC1517CS5-3.3#TRPBF.
