Product details
Overview
LTC1522CS8#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 up to 20mA output from a 2.7V–5V input, features 6µA typical operating supply current, ±4% output regulation, and internal 700kHz oscillator - enabling compact, inductorless power conversion in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1522CS8#PBF datasheet, LTC1522CS8#PBF pinout, LTC1522CS8#PBF application, or LTC1522CS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include ultralow quiescent current (<1µA shutdown), thermal/short-circuit protection, no-inductor design, and compatibility with Li-ion, SIM interface, and smart card power rails where regulated 5V at light loads is required.
Technical Context
The LTC1522CS8#PBF uses a two-phase nonoverlapping switched-capacitor topology to boost input voltage to a regulated 5V output via internal comparator-controlled hysteresis (COMP1) and flying capacitor (CFLY) charge/discharge cycles. Regulation is maintained by enabling the charge pump only when VOUT drops below the lower trip point.
It integrates CMOS-level active-high SHDN control with VIN-referenced threshold (~VIN/2), disconnects VOUT from VIN during shutdown, and includes on-chip thermal shutdown (trip ≈160°C, hysteresis ≈15°C) for indefinite short-circuit survival. The device operates without inductors and supports ultralow-IQ operation via modulated shutdown (e.g., 2Hz–100Hz, 95–98% duty cycle).
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.0V ±4% (4.8–5.2V), tightly regulated across 2.7–5V input and 0–20mA load |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5V - supports single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V), NiMH, and 3.3V system rails |
| Operating Supply Current | 6µA typical (no load) - enables multi-year battery life in always-on sensor or backup circuits |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA (VIN ≤ 3.6V) - ensures minimal drain during standby or sleep modes |
| Switching Frequency | 700kHz free-running - allows use of small 0.22µF ceramic flying capacitor and compact layout |
| Output Current Capability | 10mA (VIN ≥ 2.7V), 20mA (VIN ≥ 3V) - sufficient for SIM interfaces, smart card readers, and PCMCIA logic |
| Output Ripple | 70mVP-P max (VIN = 3V, IOUT = 10mA) - manageable with 10µF low-ESR output capacitor |
| Efficiency | 82% typical (VIN = 3V, IOUT = 10mA) - high efficiency maintained down to 10µA via SHDN modulation |

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 8-pin SO package, identical pinout, but supports wider 2V–5V input and higher 50mA output (VIN ≥ 3V) | Better suited for higher-load applications (e.g., USB peripherals), but draws 10µA typical ICC - 67% higher than LTC1522CS8#PBF | Select LTC1516CS8#PBF only if >20mA output or sub-2.7V start-up is required; otherwise LTC1522CS8#PBF offers superior IQ |
| LTC1517-5CS5#TRMPBF | SOT-23-5 package, no SHDN pin, fixed 5V output, 10µA ICC, 15mA output - lacks shutdown control and thermal protection | Targeted at ultra-small footprint applications where shutdown and fault protection are unnecessary (e.g., disposable sensors) | Choose LTC1517-5CS5#TRMPBF only for size-constrained designs accepting trade-offs in protection and control flexibility |
Compared with LTC1516CS8#PBF and LTC1517-5CS5#TRMPBF, the LTC1522CS8#PBF uniquely balances ultralow 6µA operating current, integrated thermal/short-circuit protection, and full shutdown control - making it optimal for long-life, safety-critical, and battery-sensitive 5V charge pump applications where 20mA output suffices.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for the LTC1522CS8#PBF to deliver 10mA output current?
The LTC1522CS8#PBF requires a minimum input voltage of 2.7V to deliver up to 10mA output current while maintaining 5V ±4% regulation. Below 2.7V, regulation cannot be guaranteed per the Electrical Characteristics table, and output voltage will drop proportionally with input.
Does the LTC1522CS8#PBF require an external resistor divider to set output voltage?
No, the LTC1522CS8#PBF does not require an external resistor divider. It features an internal fixed-resistor feedback network that regulates VOUT to 5.0V ±4%. The output voltage is factory-trimmed and non-adjustable - simplifying design and reducing component count.
Can the LTC1522CS8#PBF survive a continuous short circuit from VOUT to GND?
Yes, the LTC1522CS8#PBF can survive a continuous short from VOUT to GND. Its on-chip thermal shutdown circuit disables the charge pump when junction temperature exceeds ≈160°C and re-enables it once temperature falls to ≈145°C, allowing safe, indefinite cycling without damage.
What is the recommended flying capacitor value for the LTC1522CS8#PBF, and why?
The recommended flying capacitor value for the LTC1522CS8#PBF is 0.22µF ceramic. This value balances output ripple, efficiency, and maximum output current. Larger values increase ripple and reduce efficiency; smaller values (e.g., 0.01–0.047µF) lower ripple but sacrifice output current capability and efficiency.
How does the LTC1522CS8#PBF achieve ultralow quiescent current in no-load conditions?
The LTC1522CS8#PBF achieves ultralow quiescent current (<2.1µA typical at VIN = 3V) by combining inherent 6µA operating current with modulated shutdown: applying a low-duty-cycle (95–98%), low-frequency (2–100Hz) signal to SHDN keeps the device mostly off while delivering just enough charge pulses to maintain regulation - drastically reducing average ICC.
