Product details
Overview
LTC1522CMS8#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 delivers up to 20mA output from a 2.7V–5V input, features 6µA typical operating supply current, ±4% output voltage regulation, and internal 700kHz oscillator - ideal for SIM interface supplies and smart card readers.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1522CMS8#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1522CMS8#TRPBF pinout, LTC1522CMS8#TRPBF application, or LTC1522CMS8#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include ultralow quiescent current (<1µA in shutdown), thermal/short-circuit protection, no-inductor architecture, and compatibility with light-load GSM and PCMCIA power rails.
Technical Context
The LTC1522CMS8#TRPBF uses a two-phase nonoverlapping switched-capacitor topology to boost VIN to a regulated 5V output via internal comparator-controlled hysteresis (COMP1). Regulation is achieved by enabling the charge pump only when VOUT drops below the lower trip point, minimizing switching activity at light loads.
It integrates CMOS-level SHDN control with ~VIN/2 threshold, disconnects VOUT from VIN during shutdown, and employs on-chip thermal shutdown (~160°C trip, ~145°C recovery) to survive continuous VOUT-to-GND shorts without latchup.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.0V ±4% (4.8V–5.2V); tightly regulated across 2.7V–5V input and 0–20mA load range. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5V; supports single-cell Li-ion, NiMH, and 3.3V system rails without external LDO pre-regulation. |
| Operating Supply Current | 6µA typical (no load); enables multi-year battery life in always-on sensor or backup supply applications. |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA (VIN ≤ 3.6V); isolates load from input, critical for zero-power standby modes. |
| Switching Frequency | 700kHz free-running; enables use of small 0.22µF ceramic flying capacitor and compact PCB layout (<0.1 in²). |
| Output Current Capability | 10mA (VIN ≥ 2.7V), 20mA (VIN ≥ 3V); sufficient for SIM card interfaces, smart card readers, and local 3V-to-5V conversion. |
| Output Ripple | 70mVP-P (VIN = 3V, IOUT = 10mA); manageable with standard 10µF low-ESR tantalum/ceramic output capacitor. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin MSOP (MS8), 3.0mm × 3.0mm body, 0.65mm pitch, exposed pad not electrically connected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (NC) | No Connect | Unbonded die pad; must remain unconnected per datasheet to avoid parasitic coupling or ESD path disruption. |
| Pin 2 (VIN) | Input Supply | 2.7V–5V main power input; requires ≥3.3µF low-ESR bypass capacitor close to pin for stable start-up and ripple suppression. |
| Pin 3 (VOUT) | Regulated Output | 5V ±4% output; disconnected from VIN during shutdown; requires ≥3.3µF low-ESR capacitor for regulation stability. |
| Pin 4 (C+) | Flying Cap Positive | Connects to positive terminal of 0.22µF flying capacitor; forms charge-transfer node in 2-phase pump cycle. |
| Pin 5 (C−) | Flying Cap Negative | Connects to negative terminal of 0.22µF flying capacitor; completes charge-pump capacitor loop with C+. |
| Pin 6 (GND) | Ground Reference | Analog/digital ground return; must be tied to low-impedance ground plane adjacent to CIN/COUT placement. |
| Pin 7 (SHDN) | Active-High Shutdown | CMOS input (VIH ≈ 0.7×VIN, VIL ≤ 0.4V); drive low to enable, high to disable; must never float. |
| Pin 8 (NC) | No Connect | Unbonded die pad; leave unconnected to prevent noise injection or thermal impedance increase. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-inductor architecture | Eliminates magnetic components and EMI concerns; enables ultra-thin, space-constrained designs like SIM card slots and smart card modules. |
| Ultralow 6µA operating ICC | Extends battery life in always-on IoT sensors and backup memory supplies where microamp-level quiescent draw is mandatory. |
| Thermal + short-circuit protection | Survives indefinite VOUT-to-GND shorts with automatic cycling (160°C trip / 145°C recovery); no external protection circuitry required. |
| Load disconnection in shutdown | Prevents backfeed and leakage into powered-down subsystems - essential for rail isolation in multi-voltage embedded systems. |
| Pin-compatible with LTC1516 | Enables drop-in upgrade path in existing 2.7V–5V, ≤20mA designs where LTC1516 was used, with identical MSOP/SO footprint and pin mapping. |

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 5V output, but supports 50mA at VIN ≥ 3V; higher ICC (12µA typ); no ultralow IQ mode. | Better for higher-current SIM or PCMCIA loads; lacks sub-1µA shutdown and 10µA efficiency optimization. | Select LTC1516CS8#PBF only if >20mA output is required and ultralow shutdown current is not critical. |
| LTC1517-5CS6#TRMPBF | SOT-23-6 package (no shutdown pin); fixed 5V output; 10mA max (VIN ≥ 2.7V); 8µA ICC. | Ultra-compact footprint for space-limited designs; no shutdown control or load disconnection capability. | Choose LTC1517-5CS6#TRMPBF only when board area is paramount and active shutdown is unnecessary. |
Compared with LTC1516CS8#PBF and LTC1517-5CS6#TRMPBF, the LTC1522CMS8#TRPBF uniquely balances 20mA capability, <1µA shutdown, and MSOP8 pin compatibility - making it optimal for battery-sensitive, space-constrained 5V rail generation where both efficiency and controllability matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current supported by the LTC1522CMS8#TRPBF?
The LTC1522CMS8#TRPBF delivers up to 20mA continuous output current when input voltage is ≥3V, and up to 10mA when input voltage is between 2.7V and 3V. This rating assumes proper capacitor selection (0.22µF flying cap, 10µF input/output caps) and ambient temperature ≤70°C. Exceeding these limits may trigger thermal shutdown.
Does the LTC1522CMS8#TRPBF require an inductor in its application circuit?
No, the LTC1522CMS8#TRPBF is a switched-capacitor (charge pump) DC/DC converter and does not require any inductor. Its complete application circuit uses only three external capacitors: one 0.22µF flying capacitor and two 10µF bypass capacitors at VIN and VOUT - enabling compact, low-EMI designs.
How does the shutdown function of the LTC1522CMS8#TRPBF affect the output connection?
When the SHDN pin of the LTC1522CMS8#TRPBF is driven high, the device enters shutdown mode and actively disconnects VOUT from VIN. This prevents backfeed and eliminates load current draw from the input supply, resulting in <1µA total shutdown current - critical for zero-power standby states.
Can the LTC1522CMS8#TRPBF operate with input voltages below 2.7V?
No, the LTC1522CMS8#TRPBF has a specified minimum input voltage of 2.7V per Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. Operation below 2.7V is not guaranteed and may result in failure to regulate, increased ripple, or inability to start up - especially with load currents above a few microamps.
Is the LTC1522CMS8#TRPBF pin-compatible with other members of the LTC15xx family?
Yes, the LTC1522CMS8#TRPBF is explicitly stated as pin-compatible with the LTC1516 in applications where VIN ≥ 2.7V and IOUT ≤ 20mA. Both share identical 8-pin MSOP and SO footprints and matching pin functions (VIN, VOUT, SHDN, GND, C+, C−, NC), enabling direct replacement in compatible designs.
