Product details
Overview
LTC3265EFE#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a low-noise dual-polarity power supply IC integrating a boost charge pump, inverting charge pump, and two post-regulating LDOs - delivering ±15V outputs from a single 12V input. It supports up to 50mA per LDO, operates with ceramic capacitors only, and features programmable 50kHz–500kHz switching frequency and 135µA quiescent current in Burst Mode® with both LDOs active.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3265EFE#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3265EFE#TRPBF pinout, LTC3265EFE#TRPBF application, or LTC3265EFE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include bipolar output noise performance (100µVRMS), dual independent enable/control logic (EN+, EN–), MODE-selectable operation (Burst vs constant-frequency), and thermal-enhanced 20-lead TSSOP packaging for industrial instrumentation and precision analog biasing.
Technical Context
The LTC3265EFE#TRPBF implements two independent charge pump topologies: a boost converter (VIN_P → VOUT+ = 2×VIN_P or 0.94×2×VIN_P) and an inverting converter (VIN_N → VOUT– = –VIN_N or –0.94×VIN_N), each feeding a dedicated low-noise LDO (LDO+, LDO–). The MODE pin selects between low-quiescent Burst Mode® (hysteretic regulation) and fixed-frequency operation (50–500kHz via RT resistor).
Each LDO uses external resistor dividers for adjustable output (±1.2V to ±32V), with ADJ+/ADJ– pins referenced to precise ±1.200V internal references (±2.4mV tolerance). Soft-start circuitry ramps LDO regulation over 75µs, and built-in short-circuit protection limits VOUT+ to 220mA and VOUT– to 160mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN_P Range | 4.5V to 16V - defines minimum system input for positive rail generation; requires ≥4.5V to avoid UVLO shutdown. |
| VIN_N Range | 4.5V to 32V - enables wide-range negative rail sourcing; supports asymmetric configurations (e.g., VIN_N = VIN_P or VIN_N = VOUT+). |
| LDO Output Current | ±50mA - maximum continuous load per regulator; sufficient for op-amp biasing, ADC/DAC reference supplies, and sensor excitation. |
| Quiescent Current (Burst) | 135µA with both LDOs on - enables ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed or always-on instrumentation systems. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 50kHz to 500kHz (RT-programmable) - higher frequencies reduce effective output impedance (ROL) and improve transient response. |
| LDO Output Noise | 100µVRMS (with 100nF BYP+/- caps) - meets stringent requirements for precision analog signal chains and low-phase-noise clock buffers. |
| Dropout Voltage | 400–800mV (LDO+), 200–500mV (LDO–) at full load - determines minimum headroom needed between charge pump output and regulated rail. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 20-lead plastic TSSOP (FE package), 4.4mm × 6.5mm × 1.1mm, exposed thermal pad (Pin 21 = GND), θJA = 38°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (NC) | No Connect | Unbonded die pad; must be left floating or grounded - no electrical function. |
| 2 (CBST–) | Boost Pump Flying Cap (–) | Connects to negative terminal of flying capacitor; critical for charge transfer timing and efficiency. |
| 3 (CBST+) | Boost Pump Flying Cap (+) | Connects to positive terminal of flying capacitor; forms charge-transfer path with CBST–. |
| 4 (VIN_P) | Boost Pump Input Supply | Main input for positive rail generation; must be bypassed with ≥10µF ceramic capacitor. |
| 5 (EN–) | Negative Rail Enable | Logic-high enables inverting pump and LDO–; internal 0.7µA pull-down prevents floating. |
| 6 (BYP–) | LDO– Reference Bypass | Connect 100nF cap to GND to reduce LDO– output noise; floating if unused. |
| 7 (ADJ–) | LDO– Feedback Input | Serves as inverting amplifier input referenced to –1.200V; sets output voltage via external resistor divider. |
| 8 (LDO–) | Negative Regulated Output | Delivers stable negative voltage (–1.2V to –32V); requires ≥2µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor to GND for stability. |
| 9 (VOUT–) | Inverting Pump Output | Feeds LDO–; regulated to –VIN_N (constant freq.) or –0.94×VIN_N (Burst Mode). |
| 10 (CINV–) | Inverting Pump Flying Cap (+) | Positive terminal connection for inverting pump flying capacitor. |
| 12 (RT) | Oscillator Frequency Set | 1.2V-referenced input; resistor to GND programs 50–500kHz switching frequency (GND = 500kHz default). |
| 15 (EN+) | Positive Rail Enable | Logic-high enables boost pump and LDO+; internal 0.7µA pull-down ensures defined state. |
| 16 (MODE) | Operation Mode Select | High = Burst Mode® (low IQ, higher ripple); Low = constant-frequency (lower ripple, higher IQ). |
| 17 (BYP+) | LDO+ Reference Bypass | Connect 100nF cap to GND to reduce LDO+ output noise; floating if unused. |
| 18 (ADJ+) | LDO+ Feedback Input | Serves as non-inverting amplifier input referenced to +1.200V; sets output voltage via external resistor divider. |
| 19 (LDO+) | Positive Regulated Output | Delivers stable positive voltage (1.2V to 32V); requires ≥2µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor to GND for stability. |
| 20 (VOUT+) | Boost Pump Output | Feeds LDO+; regulated to 2×VIN_P (constant freq.) or 0.94×2×VIN_P (Burst Mode). |
| 21 (GND) | Ground / Thermal Pad | Exposed pad - must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal performance (θJA = 38°C/W) and functional integrity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent enable control (EN+, EN–) | Enables selective activation of positive/negative rails - critical for power sequencing in mixed-signal systems. |
| Burst Mode® with 135µA IQ (both LDOs on) | Reduces standby power in always-on instrumentation without compromising startup time or regulation accuracy. |
| Programmable 50–500kHz oscillator (RT pin) | Allows optimization of EMI profile, efficiency, and transient response - e.g., 500kHz minimizes ROL for fast load steps. |
| ±100µVRMS LDO output noise (with BYP caps) | Meets noise-sensitive applications like high-resolution SAR ADC references and low-distortion audio preamps. |
| Soft-start (75µs ramp) on LDO+ and LDO– | Prevents inrush current into downstream capacitance - avoids brownout during power-up of multi-rail systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-polarity regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT3260EFE#TRPBF | Single-channel (positive-only) LDO-based charge pump regulator; no inverting pump or negative LDO. | Only suitable for unipolar biasing; cannot replace LTC3265EFE#TRPBF in bipolar rail designs. | Select only when only positive rail generation is required and space/thermal constraints favor smaller 16-lead TSSOP. |
| MAX1759EUB+T | Single inverting charge pump IC (no boost pump, no LDOs); outputs only VOUT–; requires external LDOs for regulation. | Lacks integrated positive rail and post-regulation - demands additional components for bipolar, low-noise operation. | Use only in cost-sensitive, low-complexity designs where ±15V noise specs are relaxed and board area allows discrete LDO addition. |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC3265EFE#TRPBF?
The LTC3265EFE#TRPBF is rated for –40°C to +125°C junction temperature. This grade is specified for industrial environments and validated across the full range with guaranteed performance for LDO output voltage accuracy, dropout, and noise. Derating applies above 125°C per thermal design guidelines in the datasheet.
Can the LTC3265EFE#TRPBF generate symmetric ±15V outputs from a 12V input?
Yes - the LTC3265EFE#TRPBF can generate symmetric ±15V outputs from a 12V input. Tie VIN_N to VOUT+ (not VIN_P), configure MODE = low for constant-frequency operation, and set ADJ+/ADJ– dividers to yield VLDO+ = +15V and VLDO– = –15V. This configuration ensures matched ripple rejection and thermal tracking between rails.
How does the RT pin affect LTC3265EFE#TRPBF performance in Burst Mode®?
In Burst Mode®, the RT pin sets burst cycle frequency - not switching frequency. A 0Ω (GND) connection yields optimal 500kHz burst rate, minimizing VOUT± droop between bursts and reducing average output impedance. Higher RT values lower burst rate, increasing ripple and degrading light-load regulation - thus GND is recommended for best Burst Mode® performance.
What is the minimum output capacitance required for stability on LTC3265EFE#TRPBF LDO+ and LDO–?
The LTC3265EFE#TRPBF requires ≥2µF low-ESR ceramic capacitors on both LDO+ and LDO– outputs, connected directly to GND. These capacitors must maintain ≥2µF capacitance across –40°C to +125°C and rated voltage; X7R or better dielectrics are recommended. Smaller values risk instability and oscillation under load transients.
Does the LTC3265EFE#TRPBF support independent enable/disable of its positive and negative rails?
Yes - the LTC3265EFE#TRPBF supports fully independent control: EN+ enables/disables the boost pump and LDO+, while EN– controls the inverting pump and LDO–. This allows flexible power sequencing (e.g., enable LDO+ first, then LDO– after stabilization) and dynamic rail shutdown to reduce system power in partial-operation modes.
