Product details
Overview
LTC1522CS8#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 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.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1522CS8#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1522CS8#TRPBF pinout, LTC1522CS8#TRPBF application, or LTC1522CS8#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include ultralow quiescent current, thermal/short-circuit protection, 700kHz internal oscillator, regulated output without inductors, and compatibility with light-load GSM and PCMCIA power rails.
Technical Context
The LTC1522CS8#TRPBF uses a two-phase nonoverlapping switched-capacitor topology to boost input voltage and regulate VOUT via internal hysteresis sensing (COMP1). Regulation occurs by enabling the charge pump when VOUT falls below the lower trip point and disabling it upon reaching the upper trip point - achieving 5V ±4% accuracy across 2.7V–5V input and up to 20mA load.
It integrates CMOS-level SHDN control with VIN/2 threshold, disconnects VOUT from VIN during shutdown, and features on-chip thermal shutdown (~160°C trip, ~145°C recovery) that enables indefinite cycling under continuous short-circuit conditions without latchup or damage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.0V ±4% - tightly regulated rail suitable for SIM I/O, smart card logic, and 5V microcontroller peripherals. |
| 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 at no load - enables multi-year battery life in always-on low-duty-cycle devices like smart cards. |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA at VIN ≤ 3.6V - ensures negligible drain during standby or sleep modes. |
| Switching Frequency | 700kHz free-running - allows use of small 0.22µF flying capacitor and minimizes EMI filtering burden. |
| Max Output Current | 20mA at VIN ≥ 3V - sufficient for GSM SIM interface, PCMCIA local 5V, and backup supply applications. |
| Output Ripple | 70mVP-P at VIN = 3V, IOUT = 10mA - manageable with 10µF low-ESR ceramic/tantalum output capacitor. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin SO (Small Outline, narrow 0.150", JEDEC MS-012), RoHS-compliant, tape-and-reel (TRPBF suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1: NC | No Connect | Unbonded pad - must remain unconnected; no routing or grounding required. |
| Pin 2: VIN | Input Supply | Accepts 2.7V–5V; requires ≥3.3µF low-ESR bypass capacitor close to pin for stability. |
| Pin 3: VOUT | Regulated 5V Output | Delivers 5V ±4% output; disconnected from VIN during shutdown; bypass with ≥3.3µF low-ESR cap. |
| Pin 4: C+ | Flying Cap Positive Terminal | Connects to positive plate of 0.22µF flying capacitor; critical for charge transfer timing and efficiency. |
| Pin 5: C− | Flying Cap Negative Terminal | Connects to negative plate of flying capacitor; forms charge pump switching node with C+. |
| Pin 6: GND | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all internal circuits and external capacitors; tie directly to ground plane. |
| Pin 7: SHDN | Active-High Shutdown Control | CMOS input with ~VIN/2 threshold; drive low to enable, high to disable; must not be floated. |
| Pin 8: NC | No Connect | Unbonded pad - left open; no electrical function or mechanical constraint. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultralow quiescent current | 6µA typical operating ICC enables >10-year battery life in 10µA-average-load smart card readers. |
| Thermal + short-circuit protection | On-die thermal shutdown cycles indefinitely under VOUT-to-GND short, preventing device failure. |
| No inductors required | Capacitive charge pump architecture eliminates magnetic components, reducing BOM cost and EMI risk. |
| Pin-compatible with LTC1516 | Enables drop-in upgrade in VIN ≥ 2.7V / IOUT ≤ 20mA designs without PCB revision. |
| Compact layout footprint | Full solution occupies <0.1 in² - fits space-constrained SIM card sockets and PCMCIA Type II modules. |

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; wider 2V–5V input range; higher 50mA output at VIN ≥ 3V; no ultralow IQ mode. | Preferred where input may dip below 2.7V or >20mA load needed; unsuitable for sub-10µA standby optimization. | Select LTC1516CS8#PBF if VIN can fall to 2V or peak load exceeds 20mA; otherwise LTC1522CS8#TRPBF offers better efficiency at light loads. |
| LTC1517-5CS5#TRMPBF | SOT-23-5 package; no SHDN pin; fixed 5V output; 6µA ICC; same 2.7V–5V input and 20mA capability. | Used where board space is extremely limited and shutdown control is unnecessary (e.g., always-on backup rails). | Choose LTC1517-5CS5#TRMPBF only for space-constrained, non-shutdown applications; LTC1522CS8#TRPBF retains full control flexibility in SO-8. |
Compared with LTC1516CS8#PBF and LTC1517-5CS5#TRMPBF, the LTC1522CS8#TRPBF uniquely balances ultralow 6µA operating current, active shutdown control, and SO-8 manufacturability - making it optimal for battery-sensitive, intermittently active applications like SIM interfaces and smart card readers.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the LTC1522CS8#TRPBF?
The LTC1522CS8#TRPBF delivers up to 10mA when VIN ≥ 2.7V and up to 20mA when VIN ≥ 3V, per the Electrical Characteristics table. This is verified across the commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C) with 10µF input/output capacitors and 0.22µF flying capacitor. Exceeding these limits causes output voltage droop or thermal shutdown activation.
Does the LTC1522CS8#TRPBF require an inductor in its application circuit?
No, the LTC1522CS8#TRPBF uses a switched-capacitor (charge pump) architecture and requires only three external capacitors: one 0.22µF flying capacitor (CFLY) and two 10µF bypass capacitors (CIN and COUT). Inductors are explicitly unnecessary, simplifying layout and eliminating magnetic EMI concerns.
How does shutdown operation affect the load connection in the LTC1522CS8#TRPBF?
In shutdown mode, the LTC1522CS8#TRPBF actively disconnects the load from VIN using internal switches - ensuring zero current flows from the input supply to VOUT. This isolation prevents backfeed and preserves battery charge, unlike basic enable/disable regulators that leave the output path conductive.
Can the LTC1522CS8#TRPBF be used with input voltages below 2.7V?
No - the absolute minimum input voltage for functional regulation is 2.7V, as specified in both Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics. Operation below 2.7V results in unregulated output, increased ripple, and potential failure to start. For sub-2.7V inputs, consider the pin-compatible LTC1516 (2V min).
What is the purpose of the NC pins (1 and 8) on the LTC1522CS8#TRPBF SO-8 package?
Pins 1 and 8 of the LTC1522CS8#TRPBF are No Connect (NC) terminals - they are unconnected to any internal circuitry and serve no electrical function. They must remain unconnected on the PCB; routing traces or applying solder paste to these pads is unnecessary and may compromise thermal or mechanical reliability.
