Product details
Overview
LTC1517ES5-3.3#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 load at VIN ≥ 2.5V, and operates at 700kHz without inductors-ideal for single-cell Li-ion battery-powered handheld instruments.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1517ES5-3.3#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1517ES5-3.3#TRPBF pinout, LTC1517ES5-3.3#TRPBF application, or LTC1517ES5-3.3#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include ultralow quiescent current, thermal/short-circuit protection, fixed 3.3V regulation with no external feedback, minimal external components (one 0.1µF flying cap + two bypass caps), and SOT-23 footprint compatibility for space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The LTC1517ES5-3.3#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 sensing VOUT, enabling/disabling the pump based on hysteresis thresholds (lower trip point ~3.17V, upper ~3.43V).
It integrates thermal shutdown (trip ~160°C, recovery ~145°C) and survives indefinite VOUT-to-GND short circuits by cycling into/out of shutdown. The device requires no inductors and uses only ceramic capacitors: 0.1µF flying cap (C1), ≥3.3µF low-ESR input (CIN), and ≥3.3µF output (COUT) capacitors for stable 3.3V generation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 3.3V ±4% (3.17V–3.43V); tightly regulated across full input range and load conditions without external feedback. |
| No-Load Supply Current | 6µA typical; enables multi-year battery life in always-on, low-duty-cycle sensor nodes. |
| Max Output Current | 15mA at VIN ≥ 2.5V; sufficient for powering low-power microcontrollers, RF transceivers, or analog sensors. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.0V to 4.4V; supports full discharge curve of single-cell Li-ion (3.0V–4.2V) and alkaline/NiMH (2.0V–3.2V). |
| Switching Frequency | 700kHz typical; enables use of small 0.1µF ceramic flying capacitor and minimizes EMI in sensitive analog sections. |
| Output Ripple | 75mVP-P max (VIN=2.5V, IOUT=8mA, COUT=3.3µF); reduced to <2mVP-P with 6.8µF COUT and optimized layout. |
| Protection Features | Thermal shutdown + continuous short-circuit survival; eliminates need for external current limiting or foldback circuitry. |

Package: 5-lead plastic SOT-23 (S5), 2.80–3.00mm × 1.90mm × 1.10–1.30mm, JEDEC SC-74A compliant, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| GND (Pin 2) | Power ground reference | Primary return path for input, output, and flying capacitor currents; requires low-impedance connection to ground plane. |
| VOUT (Pin 3) | Regulated 3.3V output | Delivers ±4% regulated voltage; requires ≥3.3µF low-ESR bypass capacitor placed close to pin to minimize ripple. |
| C1+ (Pin 4) | Flying capacitor positive terminal | Connects to positive plate of 0.1µF ceramic flying capacitor; carries high-frequency switching current. |
| C1– (Pin 5) | Flying capacitor negative terminal | Connects to negative plate of 0.1µF ceramic flying capacitor; completes charge pump switching loop. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar micropower charge pump regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX680ESA+ | Fixed 5V output; higher 120µA no-load current; requires 1µF flying cap; no thermal shutdown. | Not suitable for 3.3V systems; higher quiescent current reduces battery life in ultra-low-power apps. | Select only if 5V output and higher load capability (25mA) are required and thermal protection is handled externally. |
| TPS60403DBVR | 3.3V output; 12µA no-load current; 60mA output; integrated soft-start; no short-circuit survival rating. | Higher output current supports more complex peripherals but lacks indefinite short-circuit tolerance. | Prefer when >15mA load or soft-start sequencing is needed; avoid where robust fault handling is critical. |
Compared with MAX680ESA+ and TPS60403DBVR, the LTC1517ES5-3.3#TRPBF uniquely combines 3.3V regulation, 6µA quiescent current, and guaranteed indefinite short-circuit survival in a 5-pin SOT-23-making it optimal for space- and power-constrained medical and industrial sensors.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the LTC1517ES5-3.3#TRPBF?
The LTC1517ES5-3.3#TRPBF delivers up to 15mA continuous output current when input voltage is ≥2.5V and ambient temperature is within the extended range (–40°C to 85°C). At lower inputs (≥2.0V), maximum output drops to 8mA. Performance is verified per Electrical Characteristics table with COUT = 6.8µF and C1 = 0.1µF ceramic capacitors.
Does the LTC1517ES5-3.3#TRPBF require external feedback resistors to set its output voltage?
No, the LTC1517ES5-3.3#TRPBF has an internally trimmed 3.3V ±4% output with no external feedback required. The regulation is achieved via a factory-trimmed internal resistor divider and 1.25V reference, eliminating component count and layout sensitivity associated with external resistor networks.
Can the LTC1517ES5-3.3#TRPBF operate from a 1.8V input source?
No, the LTC1517ES5-3.3#TRPBF has a minimum operating input voltage of 2.0V as specified in Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics. Operation below 2.0V is not guaranteed and may result in loss of regulation or failure to start.
What is the recommended flying capacitor value for the LTC1517ES5-3.3#TRPBF?
The recommended flying capacitor for the LTC1517ES5-3.3#TRPBF is 0.1µF ceramic (X7R or better), placed as close as possible to pins C1+ and C1–. A 0.22µF value may be used for improved efficiency at higher loads, but 0.1µF is optimal for minimizing board area and cost in typical 8–15mA applications.
Is thermal shutdown on the LTC1517ES5-3.3#TRPBF latching or auto-recovering?
The LTC1517ES5-3.3#TRPBF features auto-recovering thermal shutdown: it disables the charge pump when junction temperature exceeds ~160°C and automatically re-enables operation once temperature falls to ~145°C. This allows indefinite cycling during sustained overload without latchup or damage-confirmed in Applications Information section.
