Product details
Overview
LTC1522CMS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower regulated 5V charge pump DC/DC converter designed for low-current, battery-powered systems. It delivers a stable 5V ±4% output from a 2.7V–5V input, draws only 6µA typical operating current and <1µA in shutdown, and requires just three external capacitors - making it ideal for SIM interface supplies and smart card readers where board space and quiescent power are critical.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1522CMS8#PBF datasheet, LTC1522CMS8#PBF pinout, LTC1522CMS8#PBF application, or LTC1522CMS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 700kHz internal oscillator, thermal/short-circuit protection, load-disconnect capability during shutdown, and compatibility with ultralow-IQ operation down to 2.1µA via SHDN modulation.
Technical Context
The LTC1522CMS8#PBF uses a two-phase nonoverlapping switched-capacitor charge pump architecture with internal hysteresis-based regulation. Output voltage is sensed via an on-chip resistor divider, triggering charge cycles when VOUT drops below 4.8V and disabling the pump once it reaches 5.2V.
It integrates CMOS-level SHDN control with ~VIN/2 threshold, supports active-high logic drive beyond VIN, and features automatic thermal cycling (trip at ≈160°C, recovery at ≈145°C) under continuous VOUT-to-GND short conditions - all while maintaining full disconnect between VIN and VOUT in shutdown mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5V ±4% (4.8V–5.2V), regulated across 2.7V–5V input and 0–20mA load |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5V - enables direct use with Li-ion, NiMH, or 3.3V system rails |
| Operating Supply Current | 6µA typical (no load), enabling multi-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA (VIN ≤ 3.6V), fully isolating load from input supply |
| Switching Frequency | 700kHz free-running oscillator - allows compact 0.22µF flying capacitor and minimal EMI filtering |
| Output Current Capability | 10mA (VIN ≥ 2.7V), 20mA (VIN ≥ 3V) - sufficient for SIM card, smart card, and PCMCIA 5V local supplies |
| Output Ripple | 70mVP-P max (VIN = 3V, IOUT = 10mA, COUT = 10µF) - compatible with noise-sensitive analog circuitry |
| Efficiency | 82% typical (VIN = 3V, IOUT = 10mA) - maintains >75% efficiency down to 10µA load via SHDN modulation |
Pinout & Package
The LTC1522CMS8#PBF is housed in an 8-pin MSOP (MS8) package measuring 3.0mm × 3.0mm × 0.85mm, with exposed pad for thermal enhancement and RoHS-compliant matte tin lead finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1, Pin 8 | NC | No internal connection - must be left unconnected or tied to GND per layout best practice |
| Pin 2 | VIN | Main input supply (2.7V–5V); requires ≥3.3µF low-ESR bypass capacitor close to pin |
| Pin 3 | VOUT | Regulated 5V output; disconnected from VIN during shutdown; requires ≥3.3µF low-ESR capacitor |
| Pin 4 | C+ | Positive terminal of flying capacitor (0.22µF typical); connects to internal S2A/S1B switches |
| Pin 5 | C− | Negative terminal of flying capacitor; connects to internal S2B/S1A switches |
| Pin 6 | GND | Analog and power ground reference; must connect directly to low-impedance ground plane |
| Pin 7 | SHDN | Active-high CMOS shutdown input; threshold ≈VIN/2; must not be floated - tie to GND or logic driver |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultralow quiescent current | 6µA typical operating ICC enables >10-year coin-cell operation in maintenance-free IoT sensors |
| Integrated short-circuit protection | Survives indefinite VOUT-to-GND shorts via thermal cycling without latch-up or damage |
| No-inductor design | Eliminates magnetic components and EMI concerns - simplifies layout and reduces BOM count by 3 parts |
| Load disconnect in shutdown | Prevents backfeed and leakage through VOUT, critical for battery isolation in portable medical devices |
| Ultralow-IQ modulated operation | Enables 2.1µA effective no-load current using 2Hz–100Hz SHDN pulsing - extends shelf life of sealed products |
| Compact footprint | Full solution occupies <0.1 in² (65 mm²) - fits within tight SIM card module envelopes |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC1516CS8#PBF | Same pinout, wider 2V–5V input range, higher 50mA output at VIN ≥ 3V; no ultralow-IQ modulated mode | Preferred for higher-current loads (>20mA) but lacks sub-2.1µA no-load capability | Select when output current >20mA is required and input may drop below 2.7V |
| LTC1517-5CS6#TRMPBF | SOT-23-5 package, no SHDN pin, fixed 5V output, 6µA ICC, 20mA IOUT (VIN ≥ 3V) | Used where board space is more constrained than shutdown control necessity - e.g., wearables | Select when shutdown functionality is unnecessary and PCB area is premium |
Compared with LTC1522CMS8#PBF, LTC1516CS8#PBF offers greater input flexibility and output current but sacrifices ultralow-noise modulated operation; LTC1517-5CS6#TRMPBF trades pin count and shutdown control for ultra-small footprint - making LTC1522CMS8#PBF optimal for space-constrained, battery-critical designs requiring both precision regulation and intelligent power gating.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for the LTC1522CMS8#PBF to deliver 10mA output current?
The LTC1522CMS8#PBF requires a minimum input voltage of 2.7V to sustain 10mA output current while maintaining 5V ±4% regulation. Below this threshold, output voltage droops outside specification, and the device may cease regulation entirely. This makes LTC1522CMS8#PBF well-suited for single-cell Li-ion (2.7V–4.2V) and NiMH battery systems where deep discharge operation is needed.
Can the LTC1522CMS8#PBF operate with a flying capacitor smaller than 0.22µF?
Yes - the LTC1522CMS8#PBF supports flying capacitor values from 0.01µF to 0.22µF. Using 0.01µF–0.047µF reduces output ripple in ultralow-load (<10µA) or high-input-voltage (>3.3V) conditions, but at the cost of reduced maximum output current and lower efficiency. The standard 0.22µF value balances ripple, current capability, and efficiency for most applications.
Does the LTC1522CMS8#PBF require external compensation components?
No, the LTC1522CMS8#PBF is internally compensated and requires no external resistors or capacitors for loop stability. Its hysteresis-based regulation and fixed-frequency 700kHz oscillator eliminate the need for feedback networks or compensation pins - simplifying design and reducing bill-of-materials count to just three external capacitors.
How does the LTC1522CMS8#PBF behave during a continuous VOUT-to-GND short circuit?
During a continuous VOUT-to-GND short, the LTC1522CMS8#PBF draws 100–200mA from VIN and cycles into thermal shutdown when junction temperature exceeds ≈160°C, then re-enables when temperature falls to ≈145°C. This safe, non-latching behavior prevents damage and allows automatic recovery once the short is removed - a key reliability feature for unattended embedded systems.
Is the LTC1522CMS8#PBF pin-compatible with other members of the LTC15xx charge pump family?
Yes - the LTC1522CMS8#PBF is explicitly pin-compatible with the LTC1516 in applications where VIN ≥ 2.7V and IOUT ≤ 20mA, sharing identical MSOP-8 and SO-8 footprints and pin functions. This allows direct substitution in existing layouts without PCB revision, provided input voltage and load requirements align with LTC1522CMS8#PBF specifications.
