Product details
Overview
LTC1986ES6#TRMPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower charge pump DC/DC converter designed specifically for GSM/PCS/DCS SIM card power supply. It delivers regulated 5V output or direct VIN-to-VOUT connection for 3V SIMs, operates from 2.6V–4.4V input, supplies up to 10mA, and features 900kHz switching frequency and 14µA no-load operating current.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1986ES6#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC1986ES6#TRMPBF pinout, LTC1986ES6#TRMPBF application, or LTC1986ES6#TRMPBF equivalent, this page provides verified functional mode behavior, validated 3V/5V SIM VCC compliance, confirmed ThinSOT-23 package mapping, and real-world efficiency vs. load data at TA = 25°C.
Technical Context
The LTC1986ES6#TRMPBF implements a two-phase nonoverlapping charge pump architecture with burst-mode regulation to maintain output voltage stability across varying loads. Its MODE pin uses three VIN-referenced thresholds (shutdown: VMODE < VIN/2 – 0.1V; 5V mode: VIN/2 + 0.1V < VMODE < VIN – 1V; 3V mode: VMODE > VIN – 0.25V) to select between shutdown, direct-connect, or boost-regulated operation.
In 3V mode, it combines a low-RDS(ON) 2.5Ω internal switch (for VIN ≥ 2.85V) with automatic 2.9V regulated boost (for VIN < 2.85V), ensuring continuous compliance with 3V SIM VCC specification (2.7V–3.3V). Protection includes undervoltage lockout (1.4V), soft-start limiting inrush to <200mA, thermal shutdown (165°C), and indefinite short-circuit tolerance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 2.6V to 4.4V - supports single-cell Li-ion and NiMH battery discharge profiles without brownout. |
| VOUT Options | 5V (regulated) or VIN (direct connect) - enables dual-voltage SIM support from one IC. |
| Output Current | 10mA - sufficient for standard 3V/5V SIM cards per ISO/IEC 7816-3. |
| Operating Current | 14µA typical (5V mode, no load) - minimizes battery drain in standby. |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA - ensures negligible leakage during host sleep states. |
| Switching Frequency | 900kHz - enables use of small 0.047µF flying capacitor and compact 2.2µF output capacitor. |
| 3V Mode RON | 2.5Ω - limits dropout to <25mV at 10mA, preserving VCC margin. |
Pinout & Package
The LTC1986ES6#TRMPBF is housed in a 6-lead Plastic TSOT-23 (ThinSOT) package, 1.0mm max height, footprint compatible with industry-standard SOT-23 layouts. Pin 1 (VOUT) is marked by a dot or beveled corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VOUT (Pin 1) | Charge pump output | Delivers regulated 5V or direct VIN; pulled to GND during shutdown; requires ≥2.2µF low-ESR ceramic bypass. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power ground reference | Must connect to low-impedance ground plane to minimize noise and ensure stable regulation. |
| MODE (Pin 3) | Mode selection control | Voltage-referenced input determining shutdown/3V/5V operation; threshold set relative to VIN. |
| C1– (Pin 4) | Flying capacitor negative terminal | Completes charge pump capacitor loop; connects to negative side of 0.047µF ceramic C1. |
| C1+ (Pin 5) | Flying capacitor positive terminal | Connects to positive side of 0.047µF ceramic C1; critical for charge transfer timing. |
| VIN (Pin 6) | Input supply | Accepts 2.6V–4.4V; requires ≥0.1µF low-ESR ceramic bypass to suppress input ripple. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultralow quiescent current | 14µA typical in 5V mode enables >1-year battery life in low-duty-cycle portable devices. |
| 3V SIM boost regulation | Maintains 2.9V ±0.15V output when VIN drops below 2.85V, guaranteeing SIM VCC spec compliance under battery sag. |
| No inductors required | Capacitive charge pump topology eliminates EMI-sensitive magnetics and reduces BOM count to just three external capacitors. |
| Short-circuit protected | Withstands indefinite VOUT-to-GND fault without damage or latch-up, simplifying system-level fault handling. |
| Soft-start inrush limiting | Enables safe power-up into loaded SIM card capacitance by gating main switch with 50Ω series path until VOUT reaches VIN/2. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SIM power supply applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC1754-5 | Higher 50mA output current; 13µA shutdown current; same 5V regulated output. | Targeted at multi-SIM or higher-current peripherals; larger 6-lead SOT-23 footprint but not pin-compatible. | Select LTC1754-5 only if >10mA SIM load or concurrent peripheral powering is required. |
| LTC1517 | Lower 6µA operating current; 5V-only output; no 3V direct-connect or boost mode. | Designed for fixed 5V SIMs only; lacks VIN-referenced MODE logic and 2.9V boost capability. | Choose LTC1517 only for cost-sensitive 5V-only designs where 3V SIM support is unnecessary. |
Compared with LTC1986ES6#TRMPBF, LTC1754-5 offers higher drive capability but requires layout changes and lacks 3V mode flexibility, while LTC1517 reduces quiescent current but sacrifices dual-voltage SIM compatibility and battery-sag resilience.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the LTC1986ES6#TRMPBF in a GSM handset?
The LTC1986ES6#TRMPBF serves as the dedicated SIM card power supply, generating either a regulated 5V output or directly connecting VIN to VOUT for 3V SIMs. Its 2.9V boost mode ensures continuous compliance with the 3V SIM VCC specification (2.7V–3.3V) even when battery voltage sags below 2.85V - a critical feature for reliable SIM operation in real-world GSM handset use cases.
Does the LTC1986ES6#TRMPBF require external inductors?
No, the LTC1986ES6#TRMPBF uses a capacitor-based charge pump topology and requires no inductors. It operates with only three external components: a 0.047µF flying capacitor (C1), a 0.1µF input capacitor (CIN), and a 2.2µF output capacitor (COUT). This eliminates magnetic EMI concerns and reduces total solution size to less than 0.045in² - a key advantage for ultra-thin mobile designs.
How does the MODE pin determine operating mode on the LTC1986ES6#TRMPBF?
The MODE pin on the LTC1986ES6#TRMPBF uses three VIN-referenced voltage thresholds: shutdown if VMODE < VIN/2 – 0.1V, 5V mode if VIN/2 + 0.1V < VMODE < VIN – 1V, and 3V mode if VMODE > VIN – 0.25V. These thresholds allow robust mode selection across the full 2.6V–4.4V input range without external voltage references or precision resistors.
What protection features are built into the LTC1986ES6#TRMPBF?
The LTC1986ES6#TRMPBF integrates undervoltage lockout (1.4V), soft-start inrush limiting (<200mA), thermal shutdown (165°C), and indefinite short-circuit protection. During shutdown, it actively pulls VOUT to GND via an internal switch. These features eliminate the need for external protection circuitry and ensure reliable operation in harsh or fault-prone environments like portable consumer electronics.
Is the LTC1986ES6#TRMPBF compatible with industrial temperature requirements?
Yes, the LTC1986ES6#TRMPBF is specified for operation from –40°C to +85°C. While the 'E' grade is guaranteed over 0°C to 70°C, full –40°C to +85°C performance is assured by design, characterization, and statistical process controls - making the LTC1986ES6#TRMPBF suitable for industrial-grade portable equipment including ruggedized POS terminals and secure access devices.
