Product details
Overview
LTC1522IS8#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, supports up to 20mA output at VIN ≥ 3V, and integrates a 700kHz internal oscillator - ideal for SIM interface supplies and smart card readers.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1522IS8#TRPBF datasheet, LTC1522IS8#TRPBF pinout, LTC1522IS8#TRPBF application, or LTC1522IS8#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include ultralow quiescent current (<1µA in shutdown), no-inductor architecture, thermal/short-circuit protection, and compatibility with compact 8-pin SO packaging for space-constrained portable designs.
Technical Context
The LTC1522IS8#TRPBF uses a two-phase nonoverlapping switched-capacitor topology to regulate VOUT at 5V ±4% without inductors. Regulation is achieved via internal hysteresis sensing (COMP1 comparator) that enables/disables the charge pump based on output droop, maintaining efficiency >75% down to 10µA load when SHDN is modulated.
It features active-high CMOS SHDN control with VIN/2 threshold, full load disconnection during shutdown, and on-chip thermal shutdown (~160°C trip, ~145°C recovery). The device survives continuous VOUT-to-GND short circuits and operates across –40°C to 85°C (extended commercial grade).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.0V ±4% - tightly regulated for logic-level compatibility in SIM/smart card interfaces |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5V - supports single-cell Li-ion, NiMH, and 3.3V system rails |
| Operating Supply Current | 6µA typical (no load) - enables multi-year battery life in always-on low-power peripherals |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA (VIN ≤ 3.6V) - eliminates standby drain in sleep-mode systems |
| Output Current Capability | 20mA at VIN ≥ 3V - sufficient for GSM SIM card activation and PCMCIA local 5V supply |
| Switching Frequency | 700kHz free-running - enables use of small 0.22µF flying capacitor and minimizes EMI filtering burden |
| Efficiency | 82% at VIN = 3V, IOUT = 10mA - high conversion efficiency preserves battery energy under light-to-moderate loads |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead plastic SO (Small Outline, narrow 0.150"), 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 | 2.7V–5V input rail; requires ≥3.3µF low-ESR bypass capacitor for stable operation |
| Pin 3: VOUT | Regulated Output | 5V ±4% output; disconnected from VIN during shutdown; bypass with ≥3.3µF low-ESR capacitor |
| Pin 4: C+ | Flying Capacitor Positive | Connects to positive terminal of 0.22µF ceramic flying capacitor (CFLY) |
| Pin 5: C− | Flying Capacitor Negative | Connects to negative terminal of CFLY; forms charge-transfer path with C+ |
| Pin 6: GND | Ground Reference | Analog/digital ground return; must be tied to low-impedance ground plane for ripple control |
| Pin 7: SHDN | Active-High Shutdown Control | CMOS input (VIH ≈ VIN/2); drive low to enable, high to disconnect load and reduce IQ to <1µA |
| Pin 8: NC | No Connect | Unbonded pad - leave floating or unconnected; no electrical function |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultralow operating current | 6µA typical ICC enables >10-year battery life in 10µA-load applications like smart card readers |
| Thermal + short-circuit protection | Auto-cycling thermal shutdown (160°C trip) and indefinite VOUT-to-GND short survival ensure field reliability |
| No-inductor architecture | Eliminates magnetic components and EMI concerns - reduces BOM count and PCB area by >30% vs inductive converters |
| Low-noise regulated output | 70mVP-P ripple (VIN=3V, IOUT=10mA) with standard 10µF ceramic output cap - meets SIM interface noise requirements |
| PIN-compatible upgrade path | Pin-for-pin compatible with LTC1516 in VIN ≥ 2.7V / IOUT ≤ 20mA applications - simplifies legacy design refresh |

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 input range (2V–5V); higher output current (50mA at VIN ≥ 3V) | Supports heavier loads but consumes 12µA typical ICC - less suitable for ultra-low-power sleep modes | Choose when >20mA output or lower VIN (down to 2V) is required; not drop-in due to higher IQ and different shutdown behavior |
| LTC1517-5CS6#TRMPBF | SOT-23-6 package; no SHDN pin; fixed 5V output; 10mA max IOUT; 8µA ICC | Lacks shutdown control and thermal protection - limited to simple, non-critical 5V generation | Select only for cost-sensitive, space-constrained designs where shutdown and robustness are unnecessary |
Compared with LTC1516CS8#PBF and LTC1517-5CS6#TRMPBF, the LTC1522IS8#TRPBF uniquely balances ultralow IQ (<1µA shutdown), integrated protection, and SO-package compatibility - making it optimal for battery-backed, safety-aware portable applications where power budget and reliability are co-prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current supported by the LTC1522IS8#TRPBF?
The LTC1522IS8#TRPBF delivers up to 20mA continuous output current when VIN ≥ 3V and up to 10mA when VIN ≥ 2.7V. This rating assumes proper capacitor selection (0.22µF flying cap, 10µF input/output caps) and operation within the –40°C to 85°C temperature range. Exceeding these conditions may trigger thermal shutdown or cause regulation loss.
Does the LTC1522IS8#TRPBF require an external inductor?
No, the LTC1522IS8#TRPBF is a switched-capacitor (charge pump) DC/DC converter and does not require an inductor. It uses a 0.22µF ceramic flying capacitor and two 10µF bypass capacitors (at VIN and VOUT) to generate its regulated 5V output - eliminating magnetic components, reducing EMI, and minimizing PCB area.
How does shutdown mode affect the load connection in the LTC1522IS8#TRPBF?
In shutdown mode, the LTC1522IS8#TRPBF actively disconnects the load from VIN using internal switches. This ensures zero current flows from the input supply to the output, limiting total shutdown current to <1µA (VIN ≤ 3.6V). VOUT remains floating but retains charge on its output capacitor until leakage discharges it.
What is the purpose of the NC pins on the LTC1522IS8#TRPBF SO package?
Pins 1 and 8 of the LTC1522IS8#TRPBF are designated NC (No Connect) and are internally unconnected. They must remain unconnected - neither grounded nor routed - to avoid parasitic coupling or mechanical stress on the die bond wires. These pins serve only as structural supports in the SO package mold.
Can the LTC1522IS8#TRPBF operate with input voltages below 2.7V?
No, the LTC1522IS8#TRPBF has a specified minimum input voltage of 2.7V. Operation below this threshold is outside Absolute Maximum Ratings and may result in failure to start, unstable regulation, or undefined behavior. For sub-2.7V inputs, consider alternatives such as the LTC1516 (2V min) or LTC1514/15 series.
