Product details
Overview
LTC3221EDC-5#TRMPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower regulated charge pump DC/DC converter delivering a fixed 5V ±4% output from 2.7V–5.5V input, supporting up to 60mA load current with 8µA no-load quiescent current and Burst Mode® operation. It operates as a switched-capacitor voltage doubler in battery-powered sensor and portable medical devices requiring compact, inductorless power conversion.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3221EDC-5#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC3221EDC-5#TRMPBF pinout, LTC3221EDC-5#TRMPBF application, or LTC3221EDC-5#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (2.7V–5.5V), regulated 5V output tolerance (±4%), short-circuit protection (120–240mA), shutdown current (<1µA), and 2mm × 2mm 6-pin DFN package with exposed thermal pad.
Technical Context
The LTC3221EDC-5#TRMPBF uses a controlled-current, hysteresis-based Burst Mode® architecture to regulate output voltage by monitoring VOUT via an internal comparator and selectively charging the flying capacitor (CFLY) only when VOUT drops below the lower threshold. Its switching frequency is fixed at 600kHz, and regulation is achieved without inductors by doubling VIN through capacitor charge transfer.
Shutdown is implemented via an active-low CMOS ⎯S⎯H⎯D⎯N pin with 0.4V low-to-high and 0.8V high-to-low thresholds; asserting it disconnects VOUT from VIN and reduces supply current to <1µA. The device survives indefinite VOUT-to-GND short circuits due to its current-limited ISW stage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VOUT | Fixed 5V ±4% - ensures stable logic-level supply for microcontrollers or RF transceivers across full load and temperature range. |
| VIN Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports single Li-ion, two alkaline, or USB-powered systems without external LDO pre-regulation. |
| IOUT Max | 60mA - sufficient for low-power sensors, memory backup, or BLE transmitters without derating at 85°C. |
| ICC (No Load) | 8µA typical - enables multi-year battery life in tire pressure monitors or glucose meters with intermittent wake-up. |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA - preserves battery during deep sleep; VOUT is fully disconnected from VIN to prevent leakage paths. |
| Efficiency | 82% at VIN=3V, IOUT=60mA - minimizes thermal rise in sealed enclosures and extends runtime versus linear regulators. |
| Short-Circuit Current | 120–240mA - limits fault power dissipation to safe levels while maintaining robustness against PCB shorts. |
Pinout & Package
The LTC3221EDC-5#TRMPBF is housed in a 2mm × 2mm, 0.75mm profile, 6-pin DFN package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 7) that must be soldered to PCB ground for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| C+ (Pin 1) | Flying capacitor positive terminal | Connects to + side of 1µF ceramic flying capacitor; carries high dv/dt switching current-requires short, low-inductance trace. |
| C– (Pin 2) | Flying capacitor negative terminal | Connects to – side of flying capacitor; polarity-sensitive-must use non-polarized ceramic capacitor only. |
| SHDN (Pin 3) | Active-low shutdown control | Logic low (<0.4V) disables charge pump and disconnects VOUT from VIN; must not float-requires pull-up or MCU GPIO drive. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Analog and power ground reference | Primary ground return; ties to exposed pad (Pin 7) for optimal thermal conduction and noise immunity. |
| VIN (Pin 5) | Input supply connection | Accepts 2.7–5.5V; requires 2.2µF low-ESR ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| VOUT (Pin 6) | Regulated 5V output | Delivers up to 60mA; requires ≥2.2µF low-ESR ceramic output capacitor close to pin to limit ripple to ≤45mVP-P. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultralow quiescent current | 8µA no-load operating current enables >10-year battery life in always-on IoT endpoints with 200mAh coin cells. |
| No-inductor architecture | Eliminates magnetic components and EMI concerns-ideal for space-constrained wearables and implantable diagnostics. |
| Burst Mode® regulation | Dynamically disables internal circuitry between charge cycles, reducing average input current at light loads without sacrificing transient response. |
| Short-circuit protected output | Internally limits output current to 120–240mA during VOUT-to-GND faults, preventing thermal runaway and enabling safe operation in unattended systems. |
| Solution profile <1mm | Total height including 0.75mm package and 0603 capacitors fits within ultra-thin enclosures such as smart cards or hearing aids. |
Applications
| Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) | Glucose Meter |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar regulated charge pump applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3204-5 | Higher output current (150mA), larger 3mm × 3mm DFN-10 package, constant-frequency operation instead of Burst Mode. | Supports higher-power RF modules or multi-sensor nodes where 60mA is insufficient. | Select LTC3204-5 only when >60mA continuous load or lower output ripple (25mVP-P) is required; board redesign needed for pin count and footprint. |
| LTC1751-5 | Same 5V output but SOT-23-5 package, 20µA quiescent current, 100mA max output, no shutdown pin. | Used in cost-sensitive, space-constrained designs where shutdown control is unnecessary. | Choose LTC1751-5 for simpler bill-of-materials and lower unit cost if shutdown functionality and ultralow IQ are not critical. |
Compared with LTC3221EDC-5#TRMPBF, LTC3204-5 offers higher current and lower ripple but sacrifices micropower efficiency and compactness, while LTC1751-5 trades off shutdown control and quiescent current for smaller footprint and cost-making LTC3221EDC-5#TRMPBF optimal for battery longevity and minimal PCB area in sensor-class applications.

FAQ
What is the input voltage range supported by the LTC3221EDC-5#TRMPBF?
The LTC3221EDC-5#TRMPBF supports an input voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V. This allows direct operation from common sources including single-cell Li-ion batteries (3.0–4.2V), two alkaline cells (2.7–3.2V), or USB 5V rails. Operation below 2.7V will disable regulation, and exceeding 5.5V violates absolute maximum ratings and may damage the LTC3221EDC-5#TRMPBF.
Does the LTC3221EDC-5#TRMPBF require external inductors?
No, the LTC3221EDC-5#TRMPBF is a switched-capacitor charge pump and requires no inductors. It uses only three external ceramic capacitors: one 1µF flying capacitor (CFLY) between C+ and C– pins, and two 2.2µF bypass capacitors at VIN and VOUT. This eliminates magnetic components, EMI concerns, and board area typically consumed by inductors-key for miniaturized designs using the LTC3221EDC-5#TRMPBF.
How does the shutdown function work on the LTC3221EDC-5#TRMPBF?
The LTC3221EDC-5#TRMPBF features an active-low SHDN pin (Pin 3) with CMOS-compatible thresholds: logic low (<0.4V) places the device in shutdown, reducing supply current to <1µA and disconnecting VOUT from VIN. During shutdown, the output is effectively isolated, preventing backfeed into the input source. The SHDN pin must never be left floating and should be driven by a microcontroller GPIO or pulled up with a resistor to ensure defined operation of the LTC3221EDC-5#TRMPBF.
What is the maximum continuous output current of the LTC3221EDC-5#TRMPBF?
The LTC3221EDC-5#TRMPBF delivers up to 60mA continuous output current while maintaining 5V ±4% regulation across its specified input range and temperature. At VIN ≥3V, full 60mA is supported; below 3V, output current capability decreases per the datasheet's load vs. VIN curves. Exceeding 60mA causes VOUT to droop outside regulation limits, but the LTC3221EDC-5#TRMPBF remains protected by its current-limited ISW stage and survives indefinite short-circuit conditions.
Can the LTC3221EDC-5#TRMPBF be used with polarized capacitors for the flying capacitor?
No, the LTC3221EDC-5#TRMPBF requires a non-polarized ceramic capacitor for the flying capacitor (CFLY). Because the C+ and C– pins alternate polarity during charge-transfer cycles, using polarized capacitors (e.g., tantalum or aluminum electrolytic) risks reverse-voltage breakdown and catastrophic failure. Only X5R/X7R ceramic capacitors rated for ≥6.3V with ≤1µF value and low ESR are recommended-this requirement is critical to reliable operation of the LTC3221EDC-5#TRMPBF.
